    Arkadias economy is struggling when it comes to mining. We have outsiders coming here from Caly manipulating the markets to keep them low already. I FINALLY get a hof and find the current MU was at 97% What the fuck is that about. Anyway a FOMA style place to mine would sink the rest of the market.

    If you want to amp gamble while mining go to FOMA. I'm reasonably sure you can afford the 10 ped to fly there and back safely.

    Please stop begging for MORE copy paste SHIT to be shoved down our throats. Arkadia is one of if not the last bastion of originality in this game. Don't try and suck it into the crap the rest of this universe is doing.

    It might be worth it to have a foma style area containing only a few new resources that are used for something special so it doesn't interfere with the planetary mining/economy. Even if it was only 3 new ores/enmats/treasures, people would mine there if they could get even 110% average MU (which is more than foma's average after tax).

    Here we have a small population of people trying to make unreasonably high prices for resources on Arkadia, and the influx of new people in the pursuit of HoF's will provide the opportunity to form normal market. You probably know that there are resources on Arkadia for 10-20% and sometimes 30% more expensive than on Calypso. I live on Arkadia, from time to time use a craft machine and current situation does not suit me. Perhaps it suits you, if you are a miner, but you're not alone here...

    20-30% may be a bit of an exaggeration, but the premise is right, we often have shortages of certain minerals here.

    Your cant use AMP AND FINDER FROM ANY OTHER PLANET OR ANY other gear ( since i think not mining only but can be hunt has well)
    Duff
    its create cycle since most our ark finder are L
    and Amps to
    Weapons/Fap/Armory ( not see nothig wrong with L stuffs your pay mu , but craft pay mu to you)

    Same time increase demand and supply
    I think win for both side gamblers/ark economy

    your forget about Anciet Greece only your can use only armory/weapon?(from ni if i remember has well)
    its my point do Same with Ark Underground , With Foma/Mining Layout but add news mobs and mission to
    But only can use ARK GEAR
    Its push demand to ark crafted , and same time give people want gamble option , this option ofcourse cost Arkadian gear(Mining amps/Mining Finders/Weapons/and all others stuffs)

    At same time increase supply somes materials
    Leave treasure to people want realy gamble
    And AT END Most AMP MINERS GAMBLER , going craft Machine early or later

    He-he, great idea about tool restriction (Arkadian stuff only).
    But we can seen two different results in this case:
    1. Very popular area
    2. Not used area
    Depends only on fact, what we can loot there

    one question, how much is/was Ancient Greece used...
    (sure Ark have a complete range of items to use but even when some other tools came out still no one used Greece)

    Don't think restriction to Ark only tools/weapons would create more activity, it been brought up in the past and then as now personally only think it would be option 2 from above post.

    just are replaced for another ECO stuffs
    But dont ask to create new Items( i think universe have enough)

    And if not implement some restriction probably all mu in ark going crash (most)
    And its have big effect on my mining runs ;)

    Maybe rares mobs? to DNA
    and to mining dont need much

    Missions for both and i think enough

    I would not like tool restriction for a number of reasons. For one, many of the resources found on Ark are not used in Ark BPs, so we would have virtually zero MU on those resources.

    Hmmm, I was under the impression that ALL of the native Ark resources were used in native Ark BPs? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

    That said though, I agree that restricting it would be a bad idea. If it was going to be done, I think unique resources would have to be the go, or maybe moving of some of the universal stuff off Arkadia proper and onto this area. That way it would minimise the impact to MU and possibly increase the supply to some stuff that is currently lacking quite badly.

    Regardless, its a careful balancing act no matter which way you go.

    I'm in two minds about a high stakes area myself.....I'd have to do a bit more research before I could give an educated opinion, though from what knowledge I do have (based entirely on what I remember from CND), it seems it could be a lucrative thing if managed right.

    Only time will tell one way or the other. As history has shown us, Dave and the team will let us know what they are planning at the appropriate time. Till then, its all pure speculation.

    Yes all Ark-only ores are used in Ark BPs. I'm referring to the universal ores. We sometimes fall into the trap of thinking that clicking only Ark BPs is better for supporting the ark economy, but much of our loot also is universal ores like niks, devil's tail, gazz, megan, root acid, etc that don't have much use in Ark BPs. So really, clicking any BP is just as beneficial as long as you're buying your ores on ark instead of importing everything from Caly.

    Incidentally, MA does move these universals around at will (currently we have no copper or quantium though we had it earlier this year).
