Kylee's Farming Service
Posted: 13 Jan 2010, 09:13
I had an idea. the idea was to basically offer my self to collect whatever item in bulk for a client for a fee. say someone wants me to get 100 cocoons for a quest, or someone wants a good amount of herbs, they pay me a predetermined, low costing fee, and i do the hunting for them, while they can go off and finish other quests or hang about and chat until i finish (unless its a harder to obtain item, then either via email or message elsewhere by other service, i will notify the client that their items have been harvested and are ready for pickup.)
this seems like a novel idea, however in it i realize there are some possible issues;
1. others may attempt to mime my service and scam people's GP away, while i hope my prices are low enough that it wouldn't be such an issue, but there's still a chance of such things happening.
2. myself currently not of a higher level (currently at time of posting i am level 43) and as such i cannot yet acquire some items some people may want or need. (EX: snake drop items, jacko wouldn't be a good idea, etc)
3. I would only be collecting items that are needed in bulk, such as arrows, cocoons, herbs, etc. meaning i will not go and farm jeans for anyone.
4. the cost system will vary from about 5-6k to 10-12k or higher, depending on the item's value or rarity of drop.
-4.5. also bundles can only be purchased in 5s (meaning 5-10-15-20, etc.) for example, someone wants say, 15 mauve herb. this is not a high costing or rare drop, and are usually readily available, the cost for this would be 3-5k depending upon how soon he or she needs them. or for a more broad example, 100 silk cocoons would be about 10k because of the relatively time consuming endeavor.
--- the bundles are to keep things neat and organized, if someone just says get me a bunch of herbs, and then someone else wants me to get some for them as well a bunch of random numbers get confusing.
also: if people know ahead of time that they will need an item for a quest later on they may leave a message, and can ask me (with correct payment) to go ahead and collect the items, or put a hold on the order. to be revisited when they need them.
let me know what you guys think and i look forward to doing business
