Bee Nerf

[Rippster]

Ok so, I just started growing plants so I could start my bee keeping. Doh. Double-Doh.

So, what do the intermediate players do for decent gold? Balrons are good but usually camped. Can't afford the millions for gear/pets yet. Any plans for balancing in the future? Hopefully?

same like yesterday. you will get some beehives, play the stupid game and gets happy after harvesting the honey and wax and sell it for ~ 150k per day. 35% lesser sounds awesome but in the last months you can make 6 million gold per month with bees ? now -35% = ~ 4 million gold per month ~ 135k per day ? i think its okay for lesser than one hour playtime per day.

The price drop does not really bother me, Actually its a good idea. The thing I do have a problem with is having to click on Average 4.8 times to drop one potion. 19.2 clicks per hive X 24 hives is around 460 clicks daily just to maintain my hives. And thats only if they are healthy. That's going to wear out my mouse button awfully fast.

I'm actually pretty okay with the bee nerf. It's still a good source of income, and the drop in gold payoff will just help lower inflation, and thus all other expenditure of gold on the server. It's more of a help to newbs than a hindrance.

*cracks knuckles* now it's time to figure out if I can write a script to handle the *NEW* way of dropping potions into hives...

Bees were never really a good way to make money. They're even worse now. I personally don't care about the nerf.

Kill mob. [claim corpse. Repeat. Gets you far more money than apiculture ever could.

Made ALL of my money from hunting and selling loot/banking gold.

I saved 33k Beewax in my house and didn't sell to NPC. They worth 13m gp before and now only 7m.

Holy mix the beewax with some deamon leather/shadow leather + ingredients and make the robes and boots. You get more than 13mill like that
