Re: Easy Gold?
woodcutting is hands down the fastest way to make gold, outside of real estate. make enough to buy a shop, then crank up the prices. as long as you have one shop with prices down for each one with prices up (put prices down on the ones that are less profitable anyway) it shouldn't hurt your corruption. also, you can just make the rent on the gypsy caravan you start on free (missing out on 7 gold) and gain purity that way. But once you start getting real estate income, use it to increase your holdings and work up to bigger (and more profitable) shops and houses to rent.
On a related note, does anyone know what the most profitable type of business is? In Bowerstone for example, will the bookshop generally earn less than the pub? Or is it fairly random?
9 hours ahead sounds like Europe. You poor souls don't get the game till tomorrow, do you? At leas t you'll have a nice weekend to get stuck in, while we have to tear ourselves away for work...
