Beans

This sounds silly, but i am in great need of beans. I am making 100 chili busting chilis, and it is 30 beans per chili (you do the math) I will appreciate and accept any donation, and will give you cash, toys, etc. in return. Please donate now to the "Give Nori Beans" fund! That's all- I'll be waiting for beans to hopefully come! Also- who wants to buy all those chilis when I'm done? I'm selling for 12k.

  • Nori - 

    I messaged you in game, too, but the Linnaea's awesome resource database is great for such things.  I'll send you a few, but a couple of hours gathering resources can get you to where you need to be.

    One good strategy is to start harvesting in bean-heavy spots at about 9pm on a game day.  Then when the day refreshes you can go back to the same trees again!  I do this a lot in Ix and the Meadow and Forest used to have 7-8 bean trees in a street too, so I gave myself some extra time.  But it's well worth it.

  • check out the auctions Nori.  You can get beans there and then sell your finished chilis.

  • Not if you are clever.  I make a living by cooking - and I have over half a million currants on hand after giving away hundreds of thousands more.

    I buy my produce from the auctions and sell my finished goods that way also.  I collect the meat, spices, beans and bubbles myself while I am wandering throughout Ur.

    You could easily gather 1,000 beans in a Glitchy day if you have the right skills.

  • OMG! that is awesome! you give away currants? (hint hint!) dont worry- i got enough beans now :)

  • HA! HA!  Nobody message me!  I do not give currants away to random people.

    And I am far from the richest Glitch around - far from!  Find yourself a sugar daddy miner if you want real money and gems.

  • Yes, a little hard work of gathering never hurt a glitch...and will be a good life lesson to learn...better to work for it and get the sense of accomplishment than ask for it to be given to you. 

    Also, great advice to purchase ingredients from the auctions, if you aren't willing to do the work to gather them. Reselling those ingredients as a more valuable commodity is a good lesson in basic economics...

    Also, recommend when you sell your chilis, list some in reasonable smaller batch sizes in the auctions. Often smaller batches will be sold quicker, since lower level players can't afford buying even 12 at time, but they might have enough scraped up for 3 or even 6.  Include a few batches of 3 or 6 for those folks. I chuckle when I see people selling certain items in one large batch, because I've been playing a while and often don't either need that many, or I'm not willing to part with my currants for a big batch. I'll even sometimes pay a little more for a smaller batch of items, because the total price is lower.

  • Beans a bit like gold dust around here, they consistently sell on auction for around quadruple their list value. This means that if someone with high level gardening skills sends you 250 beans (say 9-10 trees, if they get a super-harvest) that would be equivalent to sending you 1000c. Asking for beans is like asking for currants!

    If you're doing a lot of cooking it's a good idea to invest in the next level gardening skill, Gardening III, which will double your max harvest per tree per game day to 24 (2x12). The last time I looked there were 71 bean trees in Groddle meadow. If you go and harvest them all with gardening III and use Circe's game day tip you'll have more than the 3000 you need to make 100 chilis.

  • "but then i will lose all my moneys, and not make a profit!" 

    So you want us to give you beans so you can make money. How about I harvest beans, sell them to you at auction, and you sell the finished stuff and we BOTH make some money?

  • Is there a quest to make 100 chilly busting chilis?

    Nori - Check out Victoria's "Consumables for Energy/Mood/Profit" spreadsheet : http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/9890/  You can still make a tidy profit by cooking even when you buy ingredients off of auctions.
