Trade Portal: Difference between revisions

As it's possible to acquire [[Copper Coin|copper]], [[Gold Coin|gold]] or [[Platinum Coin|platinum]] coins and even gems by finding [[Golden Chest|golden chests]] near the surface, the introduction of trade portals allow for acquiring various important materials without [[Mining|digging]] deeply.

For improved effectiveness when selling, pay attention to what can be crafted from raw materials and compare that with what the raw materials themselves will fetch. It is typically profitable to do a little crafting before trading (for example, a [[chest]] will usually sell for more than a block of [[wood]]). Maximized profits can be achieved by selecting items which can be sold at highest prices while it's sole ingredients can be buyed at tradeportals for lowest prices (for exampe, in March 2015 [[Dodo Stew]] could be sold for ~50 platinum coins while total costs of its ingredients where approx. 10 gold coins). On the other hand, crafting items instead of buying them at a tradeportal can be a huge loss of capital (for example, crafting a [[jetpack]] from it's primary ingredients would be a value of ~490 platinum coins in 03/2015 while the jetpack itself was available at a trade portal for just 16 platinum coins).

[[Meditate|Meditation]] and the introduction of the trade portal has left the terms "[[Renewable Resource|renewable]]" and "[[Nonrenewable Resource|nonrenewable]]" somewhat irrelevant in context of the game.
