Evan Cargo Prices

yoikes Yoikes and away Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 6 Joined: Oct 15, 2009 So I'm not sure if this is welcome or even necessary, but I worked up a quick profit margin calculator for freelance cargo runs between towns.  It not very pretty at the moment, and only has two towns on it.  If I wasn't such a newb I'd have access to more towns and their prices, so as I get more gang members I will add to it. http://www.darkwindwiki.com/doku.php?id=darkwind:towns:marketplace:prices ......................... vet Posted Oct 28, 2009, 8:24 pm

Just tried it in Gateway: "Actions You cannot visit the local marketplace since you have no characters in town." ......................... vet Posted Oct 28, 2009, 8:33 pm

It lets you enter cargo space avaiabilty and determines best profit. The market data got to be too time consuming to maintain, but i'm happy to share the spreadsheet, just toss me an e-mail address. ......................... vet wv0,3,0 Posted Oct 28, 2009, 10:09 pm

Iron Wraith Iron Wraiths Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Members Posts: 818 Joined: Feb 2, 2009 My brief analysis half a year ago, indicated to me that the only cargo worth shipping was mail. No bulk good or weapons comes close to matching its profit/bulk ratio. Since the fuel crisis however fuel is starting to be a serious cash cow. Maybe the other commodiities have caught up. If so the evan wide economic revaloration may hit at possible positive stock movements in the future. I just read that back and I think I may have been watching too much "Working Lunch". What do you think Adam? ......................... vet wv raceL1 deathrceL1 Posted Oct 28, 2009, 10:25 pm

Sort of, Right now its a manual update I figured I'd do every week or so.  Was thinking of an automated screenscrape or something later, but want to make sure I don't cause any trouble in the meantime.

I'd started looking into the "traveling" expenses to see what the best path would be, but so far I'm keeping it simple. ......................... vet Posted Oct 28, 2009, 11:32 pm
