How To Buy Silver Coins From Shop - Get Double Then You Would Normally Get - 12 Silver Coins Instead Of 6 For 10 Euros

Recommended Posts

Hello friends,

One week ago I made an "how to" post about how to get the best return for your money when buying silver coins from shop. Later on, even Rolf recommended it. Then, someone asked (me) how this work with the new price, so I decided to update it to the new conditions.

The short version is that: pretty much it works like the old system, just that the best offer to pick from the store is the "1 month + 1 silver" (which, good news, is also requiring only a 10 euros investment).

And now the long version:

Step 1 (optional): create a new mail address, so you don't mess up with your main e-mail account

Step 2: create a character on that e-mail address for each every 10 euros you want to spend on shop and run her through the tutorial (once you know what to do it takes less than 5 minutes), select your server and leave her in the starting town.

Step 3: go to shop and for each of the characters buy the option "one month of premium time and one silver coin" for 10 euros.

Step 4: log each character - you'll have three silver coins on each of them already (one silver coin you bought and two silver coins for your first premium purchase), plus a sleeping powder and a referral.

Step 5: Advertise in game (/shout and/or /kshout) or on forums that you're selling your referral and your sleeping powder. It's not clear yet where the prices for these two perks will settle in game, but considering that the price for 30 days of premium in game remained 10 silvers and that the referral gives 20 days of premium (2/3) plus one hour of sleep bonus I think it's safe to assume that you can still get six silver coins for your referral (if you're in a hurry you can sell it for five silver coins, but personally I don't recommend going lower then six); also considering that the sleeping powder costs 5 silver coins at the trader, I think is totally realistic to expect to get three silver coins for it (if you're in a hurry you can sell it for two silver coins, but personally I don't recommend going lower then three).

At this point you should have a total of around 1 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 12 silver coins on your alt (or at least 10 if you sold at the dumping price).

That's 8.3 euros for every ten silver coin.

Step 6: Collect all the money with your main and enjoy the benefits - 12 silvers instead of 6 (which is what you would get for the same 10 euros buying directly from the shop), plus one character with one month of premium time which you can find a good use for (possible ideas: use as a deed holder, get path of knowledge level 4 for trader rate detecting, be a listener on sermons, give for free or for a very small amount to a newbie who wants to experiment how premium is, etc)

Step 7 (optional): Like this post and think at me next time when you'll eat an icecream. :D

Comments:

1. The one month premium time plus five silver coins, will give you 5 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 16 silver coins for a 16 euros investment, so more or less one euro for one silver - still a good deal, but not as good as the one I recommended.

2. Because of the fact, that as proved here, you can get 10 silver coins for 8.3 euros using this little trick (which remember - was accepted and recommended by Rolf himself) while still helping the game because you pay them directly, there is no logical reason (other than laziness or hurry) to pay to gold sellers even a single cent more than this. Yes, they will probably try to charge you with 10 or 12 euros for every 10 silver coins and will say that it is way cheaper then the shop price. But, actually, if you use this little trick it is not cheaper, but more expensive to buy from gold traders.

Buy from shop! Support the game, not the gold seller / trade drainers!

Cheers,

Alex

Why didn't you just update your last thread? I like that you're trying to teach people a way to get more for their money, but this extra thread seems quite unnecessary.

Because people never read beyond OP and if she edited the OP then the thread discussion for those who read it is very confusing.

I suspect that sleep powder and refer pricing to reduce in value since supply is increased and demand will be less because people may have what they need, as only the true grinders out there can never get enough, but there will be plenty of people to buy it from.

But there is still room for it to fall and for the math to still work, and even if it is same price as gold trader, this method does pay Rolf.

honestly Referrals could very well skyrocket. Most people will be using the alt purchase to refer their own characters instead of selling them. (which is no different then buying silver from a player, you are trading an in game item for silver you did not pay for... and for all you know its a Trader drainer buying it, which is mostly the case).

Gold will not go down if people start bartering referrals more. The price will go up.

Sleeping Powder on the other hand will increasingly go down. Sadly you can't consume it faster than 60 minutes per 1 hour ;). Soon, some people will have a full month stored up if not more, and they will not readily buy it.

Most likely Sleeping powder will sell for about .5-1 silver each in a month or two.

I'd expect referrals to jump to 7-8 silver pretty quick though.

I disagree and think sleep powder will be 2s constantly as people can use it very quickly in a day playing 2 or more guys and skilling.

Referrals will stay the same 5-6s

Mainly because I can make my own alts and get the 2s give my self the referral without any hassle at all.
