When is trading fleets nerf gonna be reverted!

After the recent nerf, trading fleets have been nerfed by 80% what feels like (before this I got 30k but now not more than 4k), the economy is now inflated because of fleets but with the nerf theres no way to catch up unless you no-life the game 25/8. It was great to not have to focus on the money but here we are :pensive:

profits with 2 trading 2 resting pre-nerf:

What does your fleet currently look like? How many followers do you have and what boats are you using?

Also, we need to cue the welcoming tradition.

it was nerfed for a reason, though this seems worse than mine
i used to get ~105k per log with 2 trading and now it’s 35k, so like a third of what it used to be
yours is way less

also @Dudeman


its mostly brigs everyhwere, 395 followers too.

I do believe your earnings depend on your active follower count. So more ships and active followers you have = More earnings but also increased maintenance and food/supply costs since you have more ships and fleet members to tend to.

turn on maximize profit and bathe in drachma.
you screwed yourself before the nerf by having it set to minimze risk pre nerf.

Or you’re fleet is like 50 active followers lol.

oh it is, nevermind.

Just use harvesting

maybe you didnt wait the full day for the rewards?

i went from about 55k a day with 1 trading 1 plunder 2 recover to 26k, and given this was after i hired a lot more ships id say it was probably only a 66% nerf, its still a good way to get drachma just its no longer as crazy

It’s tradition that every new member gets sent a ‘welcome to the club’ SpongeBob video, usually done by Dudeman or Fartman1314

Don’t worry you’re not in danger

Your ignorance has sealed your fate, you will be thrown from Ivoris into the Vents of Aeolus

Because Dudeman is the original greeter (for all I know)

Fartman has other stuff to do anyways

And besides, would you rather your man be a dude or a fart?

Yeah I pretty much had the exact same experience. I made 25 ish k before nerf and now I’m making 2

I’m not complaining about the nerf at all, I wholly advocated for it and everything, but if I’m gonna be honest, I wish I’d spent my money a little bit more carefully beforehand, because now I’m having trouble even maintaining my fleet :,)

I see

Fleets are so unprofitable now

I spend ~1.5k on repairs and 3k on resupplying

I barely cover costs

Multiply that by 3 and you’ve got what I gotta pay :sob:

wtf how do you spend that much but make 2k
