some thoughts for day1

I forgot to mention before that when you are grouped it ups the chances for drops.
I was doing missions in a 5 man group and we got drops almost 100% of the time. so I suggest everyone groups up to do missions even running the low end ones in the starting towns simply to up chances to get recipe books and needed resources we can't make like rope and leather-which are needed to make the buildings that make rope and leather.
also, because the recipe books are both rare and needed we need to communicate on who has what before the books are used simply to minimax our production early. the amount of xps you will get from kills will go down but the amount of loot should make up for it.

there are two books that we need to be very careful of who gets them simply because of how rarely they drop (I'm sure there are more but I'm thinking short term here)
the book that allows you to make brass-brass fittings needed for ships
and the book that allows you to make the master draughtsmen building-which in turn allows you to make every building in the game (except for i think the adv large shipyard)
there are also a few rare logging books but if you have the draughtsmen building it allows you to make deeds for the other wood types beyond oak
I plan to take the draughtsmen building when i finish the AH tutorial so no one bother taking it take one of the other needed buildings like granite oak or iron I'll make deeds as fast as I can to get peeps filled out with the basics til we find or can buy the other deeds.

2 key buildings textile mill and weaponsmith until we find the recipe book that allows the master draughtsmen these deeds when for sale will sell for huge amounts of DB's unless you got a newb who doesnt know what they are worth. I'd love to see the book that allows master draughtsmen go up for sale but I find it doubtful less again you got a newb. knock on wood for newbs!

also I read last night that provisioning may actually be the big money maker it seems that 1 unit of provisions sells for 3-5k im unsure what the hourly breakdown is to make them but that sounds like alot of cash for 1 unit of anything. so I plan to research the provisioning stuff today and see what the dealio is.

anway day 1 try and group up simply to increase chance of finding resources or recipe books.
2 days to go

Sounds good to group up with other members so we dont die trying one mission and when it should be a easy one and yah the loot drops sound really good
