Got some gold and copper coins from digging up golden chests? Got plenty of time crystals? Don't want to dig all the way down to find gold ore so you can upgrade your furnace and start making steel? Build a trade portal, upgrade it to lvl 3 (sapphire), and ''buy'' those three gold nuggets! Cost: 1 stone block, 200 time crystals, 31 gold coins, 1 amethyst, and 1 sapphire to get the lvl 3 trade portal. (My attempt cost 6 gold and 138 copper more to buy the nuggets.) --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 19:51, 29 April 2014 (MDT) | Got some gold and copper coins from digging up golden chests?

Using a trade portal to maximum effect is a very complex activity. While it's possible to simply compare item values, those values change over time, particularly when buying and selling is going on. There are also less measurable factors, such as portal level, fuel used, time spent, and the availability of items. As has been said about many things, what you get out of a trade portal depends on what you put into it. --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 07:46, 3 April 2015 (MDT) | |||
