I'm looking for people to join a little venture. It will almost certainly require an alt and be boring as hell. I'm hoping it will be good for the island though.

The rarest items are greatly desired but people don't want the tedium of searching for them. I propose a clan that supplies the rarities (for gold). This will make a fat profit, of course, but mainly it should be seen providing a service.

Proviso: You may NOT buy items that were produced by your alt.
Seems obvious, but let's state it just to be sure.

Things I think people want:

Yeastweed.
Heavy Swords
Pistol Ammo
Pistols
Fungi
Wooden Clubs
Driftwood?
Seeds?

Anymore ideas? And anyone interested? I think it would take around 8 (reliable) people to make it work.

I've been in the trading game for some time, and it's only worth it to take orders from people. Otherwise, you'll be going around trying to sell crap nobody wants. Except for heavy swords and pistol ammo, which people always want.

As proprietor of The North Shartak Trading Company, I can second Johnny Hobo.

It's a massive waste to hoard stuff no one wants to buy.

Unfortunately The Company has closed, so I can't help I'm afraid.

That's your problem right there.

I concede it's a tall order, Icey. But that's no reason not to try.

Cheers, Witty. I'll keep you on standby until I know whether it's happening.

I'll help, with taking orders/delivering goods. I won't be collecting stuff on a constant scale, but if you ever need an order filled, I'll help you out.

Hi! Do you think you would be able to provide me with wine, beer/rum, and driftwood?

I can try but it'll take best part of a week if you'r in York. Would Yeastweed be an acceptable substitute for wine? And what quantities of each?

+5 mango wine
+10 tasty berry wine
+10 banana beer
+5 hard cider
+20 beer/rum
+10 driftwood

I would actually prefer all of the wines be made as I want the grand reopening to go on without a hitch! I can wait until everything is done, no worries. I understand if you cannot fill the order.

I know someone who is currently carrying 20 bottles of beer and 20 bottles of rum, if that would be of any use to you?

Cold Seether is in the market for another and a small supply of pistol bullets if the price is right.

Another what?

Honey: It can be provided, but it'll take much, much longer. I think Dani might have Driftwood, if you ask him.
