Linen? Brick?
We'll sell you such things for linen, brick, inkweed, meat, intestines, whatever you can go find on our list. The exact amount of Points it'll cost, you need to talk with ewlol about, he'll come up with something.
And I understand that you find that the prices are high, but you really do have consider how hard it is to find a gold mine, and thne how hard gold mining really is. No it's not like minin copper, you typically get 0.8 gold nuggets per smelter. NUGGETS not BARS, and .8, not the average SIX you get from copper/tin/iron. Gold/silver are tough to churn out, more annoying to mine, and typically not as well stocked.
Now while q300 merchant's for 800 deer is clearly just retarded, if you look at our thread (Sodom) you'll see that:
100 Pts = q700 Merchant's (a lot higher now, we didn't update because it's a picture, talk to ewlol and he'll tell you new numbers)
1 Pt = 4 Meats q90+ (Deer Meat should all be q90~100 really)
400 Meats for q700+ Merchant's
Seems unfair? Well, here's the deal, it takes: 2 gold nuggets to make those rings. It also takes a lot of cavebulbs to get there.
Typically the rate I say to make all jewelry is somewhere between 1.5x and 2x the price of raw gold. Gold Nuggets are typically 1 Gold Nuggets = 3~6 decent quality Steel Bar. Steel Bars are 15 Pts each for shit quality, 30~ for good quality. 30 * 3 = 90 (per ungget), 30*6 = 180 (per nugget)
So let's say we go low ball at gold nuggets = 3 steel bars, that's 90 PER nuget, so that merchant's ring is only a little more than the price of ONE gold nugget, and it costs TWO gold nuggets to make it.
I'm at a net loss here if I counted it straight forward in gold nuggets to steel or to meat, it seems like a lot to you yes, but it's not. It's not at all. You're taking one of the things valued the lowest because it's easy to get en masse and putting it up against one of the things that will sell highest: gold. You expect a decent number, but you're not realizing what you're actually doing.
If I asked you how many bricks for 1 gold nugget do you think I'd tell you a low number just so it sounds good to you? Fuck no, I'm already at a loss! I'll tell you exaclty as it is 100 Pts * 8 due to brick amount, so 800 Bricks. And that would be that.
