Hi all,
I'm giving AfterWorld a try. With the switch from Alpha to Survival it seems like there've been some changes and I'm confused about a couple things.
There was one post I read where it suggested that it was actually better to sell / trade the ore I'd mine for steel pickaxes & awd rather than turn it in for the p.notes. Then when I'd pay the 100AWD for citizenship I'd get stuff that would offset the costs, while being faster and I'd get skills. I could then come back and earn my 50 p.notes which were limited to 150 earned.
Is this still the best choice?
With the limit on p.notes being removed I'd guess that their values' dropped, but there's some type of bonus for every 10 collected, so I'm not sure.
If I'm going to be deciding whether to collect resources sale (/trade) or for p.notes it'd be nice to know how much the stuff's worth:
What's a fair market price to pay for a Steel Picks / Steel Axes?
What's a fair rate to sell lumber / ore I collect at?
What would be a fair rate to sell p.notes at?
What the difference in value of my reward if I paid 100 awd Vs. 100 p.notes for citizenship?
Would I get enough skills or SUAs to sell to make up any cost difference?
Also, the newbie area's seemed pretty empty, are there really only ~100 active players? And thanks to Razz & Axle who've both helped me out already
