You can surf at pacifidlog and use sweet scent, theres a chance for a pelliper horde, and is right next to a PC

Your best bet is to head to 5 island in Kanto, use sweet scent to get a horde encounter, and then use thief if frisk procs

Not worth it? Do you care to explain your math? Because I'm a bit interested in how the best money making activity, outside of berry farming, just somehow wasn't worth it.

One thing I would like to mention before this topic gets too in depth. While the price of berries have been slashed in half, the price of seeds has gone down. The startup cost for a liechi class tree is now approx 4k, and a tree will, on average, produce almost 7k. The old profits were 5.5k average, and the new profit is 3k average, potentially going to go up if the price of seeds continue to fall. Also, the price of an amulet coin is currently far below the amount of extra money gained with gym rematches, due to the old 25% buff being increased to 50% Taking in all these factors, the only decrease in yen production would be from bots. And bots, as a whole, only seemed to affect the price of vanity items with the massive inflation. I doubt much will change, rather, this just gives people new ways to make money with coin/egg farming.

Oh my god what huh Im sorrY?

This seems to be an ongoing issue, with another thread showcasing a similar issue. Youre not the only one

Same issue here, not just you. I already updated the game earlier. This is asking for a 2nd update.

Think you're gonna need to update a lot more than that B

I figured this would be the case... but then what about the mini lucky eggs? And even then, the changelog still said they made them easier to obtain. Just seems misleading if thats the case

The changelog said it made lucky eggs easier to obtain now that they're consumable. My question is... how? How do we obtain the easy eggs?

GameFreak didnt let you buy pokemon with money, nor anything that isnt sold from an NPC vendor Money was virtually worthless, outside of energy drinks

Not really, the coins have a greater effect than the original held item. It rewards players for playing through the game more quickly. On top of that, this change makes coin/egg farming lucrative, which gives players a viable farming option that isnt heart scales for pennies. This is a multiplayer game. Money in a multiplayer game must be treated differently than money in a singleplayer game. I didnt think this would have to be stated. The consumability of lucky eggs HELPS you raise your favorite pokemon, as you no longer have to pay a fortune for a measley 10% buff.

I know where you're going with this question And I can already tell you The extra money you get for using it with pay day farming would NOT offset the cost of the amulet coin itself. Payday profiting is not lucrative You should really move onto something else

This is a solid idea. They already have the coding to do so, with how much is excluded when someone is in possession of mewtwo or rayquaza. I support this now.

source comes from Meowth, as far as I know. Also, with these changes, rematches are now the most profitable activity in pokemmo, fitting for something on a timer. It's controlled inflation, one that pairs with the controlled deflation in GTL tax. Its not really so much an issue of inflation as it is activity.

On the contrary, the amulet coins being buffed from 25% to 50% just moves the source of inflation to a more active form, from berries to rematches.

If it helps, rematches are a promoted form of daily activity. Run the e4! Got more time? Run the gyms? Still got time? Rematch normal trainers, OR, farm for eggs/coins! Its a system thats designed to be similar to an MMO, just like the name of the game itself suggests it should be. And for what its worth, leppa berries will still sell. They always will.

Uber legends, check the title. Made the same mistake you did at first.

I think their point is that the value of seeds just went way down, so people who bought seeds (and potentially some of them from pickup) are now stuck with items that they CANT sell, as they sell to shops for 0 So someone who bought seeds has effectively lost all of their money.

For anyone that voted yes, I suggest you read the specified "UBER" legendaries part. Dungeons yielding sub legendaries as status symbols to follow you around, and not crash the economy, would make much more sense.

Understandable, making an AFK method of money making on par with the most used active form, and making it more lucrative for the time involved, would encourage people to... well, not play the game. And while it is true that the payout for farmers would now be almost equal to the money they put in, I still think it should have been stated ahead of time. Also, the idea of egg/coin farming being lucrative means people wont have to sit down and farm heart scales for pennies, and that this will instead become lucrative. Hence why I'm completely supportive of these changes.

you seem to have a dislike for berry farmers :)))

That makes much more sense. In which case, this, combined with the amulet coin change and addition of lucky eggs, would end up cycling the money in pokemmo more. People will farm these items, others will buy these items, and the money moves around a lot more. I would argue that these changes, all in all, make money harder to get, which should prove to cause a bit of economic deflation. People who were already wealthy would have just gotten a lot wealthier, and those who haven't would start to get left behind. They added a new way to make money in regards to "charm" farming, and using them to make more money off of rematches. Likewise, they removed the AFK methods of farming, in regards to berries. It keeps people actively playing the game, which is good for donations and the like, as well as notoriety. That being said... it all depends on how the charms are obtainable. And until we find out, it will be hard to say. My theory is that, since wild chansey will be in sinnoh, we now have the option to thief them for money. Its a smart move imo... I just feel bad for anyone that had berry crops growing ahead of time. This change should have been made public a few days before it went live. That's my only complaint.

Starf Berries weren't listed in the change, and their profit was comparable to that of liechi-like berries, the most consistent in the game. They weren't farmed due to being slightly less profitable. This is proooobably an oversight, and they just forgot to mention starf berries. But, if this was intentional, the impact will be minimal.
