June 8, 200620 yr This is a small guide for using the butler instead of the demon to level construction with. I'll explain why I prefer this method... So I was using the demon, but frankly I was annoyed at the fact that he was just going too fast for me. That meant I was wasting money, and at the rate of 10k gp per 3.5 loads of logs, things add up way too fast. So I went back to the butler. Then I made an efficient method that works almost as well and is a relatively cheaper - you only get 5 less logs per load using this but you save 5k gp per 3.5 loads that add up. What you do is the regular routine. You give him 19, not 20 logs. He gets you planks. With your planks you quickly make 2 larders. You'll have 3 planks left over usually by the time he gets to you. At this time he will give you the 19 logs which you in turn ask to be converted to planks. Then you use the 3 planks on the table next to the larder. You remove the table, then you remove the larder. He will come back with the planks. You give him a load of 19 logs, you build the 2 larders, he comes back, you convert the logs to planks, you finish the table, remove the table and larder, repeat, repeat repeat, fun, fun, fun. By doing this you're efficiently saving time and not ever waiting for the butler. To me it makes sense because you're getting your money's worth, as opposed to the demon butler who overcharges and you're not even getting what you're paying for because he's so fast. This butler works in perfection timing with this method. And you save money.
June 8, 200620 yr You didn't like my mehod :cry: lol I think this sounds better... I might start using this one! :D Combat 116+; Total 1900+; All Hard Tasks; (Nearly) All quest points; (Nearly) All skills 60+; An aquatic moose ninja.Currently: Using 63 hunter to get some of those "Chins", then I'm going to range stuff down. Interruptions of agility when I feel like it, as well.And lucky enough to get 4 Dragon and 6 Barrow Drops.[hide]Kwimbob now looks exactly like me in real life except for hair color. Yes, this means I look exactly like the protagonist of that certain anime that my second character, Faye_V is also named after. Yes, I bought a jacket that also looks like his. No in real life I don't have a slain bear to sling over my shoulders. Yes, I'm that skinny even if I no-life it for years in basements. No, I can't shoot a gun. Yes, I can win any other strategic video game you have never played - because I probably have, ahahaha. And yes, I also have brown eyes, yet one of my eyes looks different from the other. And yes, I'm completely oblivious to the [real] world around me as I constantly engineer new solutions to daily problems in my head. When I get hungry, all that isn't food can wait. When I'm sleepy - nothing is of any priority in front of sleep. But at any other time, I never slow down. Never give up. Never Surrender. Makes for a good life.[hide]YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT.- See You, Space Cowboy.[/hide][/hide]
June 8, 200620 yr Author You didn't like my mehod :cry: lol I think this sounds better... I might start using this one! :D Ha, I thought about you when I wrote this. I already had the regular butler and had the demon fired before I read your guide. I was about to rehire the demon but I borrowed your idea of not converting everythign to furniture if the butler is there and it sped things up in relation to waiting times and felt basically more efficient.
June 8, 200620 yr I have a question. What is the cost per plank for each method? (not counting sawmill cost - just wages cost). Sorry if this info is in there - I kinda got jumbled since I haven't used this method much yet. Thanks. ;) it's a lot easier to get over yourself when you look at intelligence the same way you look at beauty, or height, or eye color: being smart is easy, but being good is hard ... being smart is handed to you, being good is handed to *nobody*.
