[RPG] Customisation

Yeah, the job wages are out of whack. They should be recalculated in a manner similar to what MerricB suggested. Jobs that get the wage less often should be paid more per-day, keeping in consideration bank interests as well. Remember that a job paying 40 gp per day actually nets 40 + 42 + 44 + 46 + 48 + 51 + 53 = 323 per week if you deposit it every day (broadly speaking). That's a bunch more than 280. So a per-week job that's supposed to be equivalent should net around 323, maybe something less since you don't have to bother too much with the deposits and this makes you more efficient.

The element bonuses aren't exactly balanced either.

Oh, it would be extra cool if jobs granted special abilities, but that's pretty tough to code.

Wow people are healing up fast. It looks like it will take at least 5 days of a job to get me the potion I need.

I see that many people have already equiped and defeated things like orcs.

One thing to consider about jobs; you may want to take into account that your next pay period does not start until you pick up your salary. So daily jobs can be harsh for those who do not check in every day etc.

Also currently Gauntlets of Ogre Power seem like a real good deal compared to a sword unless there is a part of the system I am missing.

Gauntlers of ogre power?? I didn't even see those....and healing has been a mjor problem...I find it's best to start at max healt , fight until dead (hopefully winning a few battles, ) and then heal back up. But last time I did that a single kobold knocked me down pretty good...ugh

I made this recommendation in the other thread, but I think that the jobs need to be restructured and the sprites could be changed to be made more fitting. Just so you know, the "Knight" is represented by the Dark Knight Gagrarion and you have the "Paladin" represented by a Dragoon... and as a Final Fantasy Tactics fan, I simply am disgusted .

 

[Crothian]

how do you keep getting money so fast creamsteak?

 

[Crothian]

Found the gauntlets, I'm just blind....

 

[Creamsteak]

Got 200 from killin orcs and kobolds. I'm almost completely kobold immune. Play by Post doesn't hurt either. And if you want to earn some money off work you've already done, start a rogues gallery and post all your unique creatures and characters.

 

[Crothian]

do you get more money for killing orcs??

 

[Creamsteak]

20 each. Though now I think your just egging me for more posts . I want to be able to get the 150 a piece for trolls though... that appeals to me.

 

[Crothian]

Right..because I've always need to egg people to post more......
