That would be awesome. I'll take you up on that offer. I'll be on a good portion of the day. Will you be in game later?
I agree. It seems to be a tie right now for me between water and fly for my next purchase. They will both be purchased as some point though
Sounds good. I'll check for you this afternoon then. Feel free to pm me if you see me on as well and I'll purchase that pumpkin axe!
You guys are awesome! This is becoming a must read for noobs! On that note, I want to make builders aware of an awesome "Builder Bonus" incentive offered by @AdmiralD which can be found at https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/builder-bonus.130448/. Keep the great tips coming!
Well, another thing you could note is that Builder Getting Started is going to get a do-over and be better then before! lol
Even without the water feature donation you can still make a water farm. There are many people with the donation who can place a dispenser for you, which you would then be able to use whenever you want. Water harvest for wheat, carrots, potatoes, nether wart and cocoa area the best methods, though doing it that way doesn't level your McMMO Herbalism. Fort3 in the mining world and nether, plus fishing in any world, are the best ways to stock up exp fast to make new tools or replace old ones via the EXP Shop at spawn. The marketplace is another way to make steady money, and the only legal way to make money while offline. 5k/week for a shop gives you ample space to sell the spoils of each mining run, with exp, nstars, ores and several kinds of blocks sell really well and a stocked shop, even without advertising, can sell enough to support itself and give you a little extra to play with, too. Additionally, if you do land clearing jobs or building demolition jobs for other users it can give you ample, and varied, stock for the above marketplace shop and it's a good way to recycle things to be used again instead of sold to the server. I have found, a lot of times, people aren't sure of the recipe for something, or don't have the materials, or just need a LOT of whatever, and thus they will pay for them. Find what you like best and then get creative (legally) at ways to make money at it.
Very good knowledge and strategies! I just picked up resident today, so learning the ins and outs of shops is my next big task to tackle. I'm looking forward to that challenge. I'm going to stop selling so much to the servers and start stocking up for inventory! Thank you!
If you want a tutorial about how trade signs work I can help with that (and will be home all day tomorrow). They can be confusing at first, I know.
First million I mined/farmed for a bit to get a small starting capital, then I took a payment plan on an eff7 with about 250k down. Technically didn't hit a million but I had it in assets + balance combined. Mined for money with the eff7, and worked my way up slowly (eff7 feels slow D 2nd million and the rest was all through different ECC businesses. Casinos, loans, etc. Once you hit your first million the rest are easy.
That would be helpful! I read up on the tutorial and that helped me understand a lot, but now putting it into practice is a different story.
Regarding nstars... Is there a reason I should hold on to them instead of sell them at shops? I was stocking up on them for a while, but they are burning a hole in my pocket
Yes there is a good reason to stock up on them, when you have 1,500 nstars you can trade them for a star tool which is eff 7 and you can sell the star tool for 1 million eco dollars
You can spend 1,500 nstars on a star tool (eff7). If you can't save up that many, then sure just sell them and buy them back if you ever want a star tool and can afford $800,000.
Ah, I did not know that. I would love an eff7, but need the money a bit more for now. Thanks for the info! How lucrative is renting and mining with an eff7? Never mined with one... Is it instant block breaking?
Instant breaking of non-ores. It chops through stone at machine-gun rates. Ores just mine with a fort 3. People may find it hard to trust a resident with an eff7, but renting can be an ideal solution for people who can't afford to buy one outright. Just make sure you have pyro+, unbound drop key, and prot 4 armour. You don't want to lose it or you'll be in debt for a very long time.
