Ignore Vernis?

[RE7RO]

Would I really screw myself over if I ignore the Vernis main quest for now?
My starting base is no where near finished..
Any advice?

[Just Some Random Kid]

Not really. You can ignore most base building if you really wanted to and it wouldn't negatively impact you that much. If you're willing to invest time into it though towns are great investments. If nothing else you should go to Vernis and put the growth boost policy on so it passively gains XP over time so you don't have to worry about leveling it yourself.

I'm not 100% sure because I never checked prior to opening Vernis, but I think that the one thing worth considering is that since Land Deeds cost is based on how many settlements you have, if you save up to buy one before you get Vernis it'll only be 50k orens instead of the 100k orens if you wait until after (like I did).

Meadow and Vernis are exempt from the scaling of land deeds as far as I know.

Vernis is a lot better and profitable than Meadow, especially at the start, due to its infinitely regenerating mine being quite useful and profitable.
It also unlocks a bunch of useful stuff once you finish that main questline
On my first run I ignored Vernis for like 2 years and regretted it, especially when I realised I was way too overleveled for its boss.

Turn Vernis into a tourist trap. Has good feats and larger.

You wont brick your game by ignoring it, but there are several extremely useful game mechanics that don't unlock until after you finish the Vernis campaign. If you use spells at all, even just the occasional healing spell, it is especially important to do it ASAP.

You don't have to do any sort of building in Vernis at all to complete the campaign there, it's not really something that needs to detract your attention away from your main base.

Just go to the bottom of the dungeon and ignore it for the next few years till you save up enough money to slap down a building map and quickly turn it profitable.

[RE7RO]

Awesome, thanks everyone.

[Ginrikuzuma]

I ignored it entirely beyond the questline.

By the time they offered me Vernis I already had a second base that I had built up as I wanted.

I could relocate Vernis to someplace more useful but I left it there for lore purposes lol

I think I have 700 days in game and still hadn't claim Vernis .-.

The tax for meadow alone is 3K and I dont make enough passive income just yet.

Your tax isn't "for meadow", actually.
It's for you.

For instance, if you suddenly had 10 bases RIGHT NOW, you'd still just have that 3k tax.

Your monthly tax cost only goes up by 500 orens every year, and by 2 orens for every point of fame you have.
It's not based on how much land you own.
And actually, owning more land just makes it easier to make more money, since that's more potential land for farming, or tourism, or whatever you want.
So go continue the story and claim Vernis without worrying about that increasing your taxes.

Yup. The amount of taxes you pay has nothing to do with the land you own. It's entirely how high profile you are plus 500 orens for every in-game year. So if you don't run Nefias almost ever you can sell your fame to decrease the taxes you pay if you wished.

[meromex]

i think i set vernis to not grow and ignored it, no wonder ive lived so many years with no main quest

Fod gods sake, why is it in the towns board then if its not tied to the town ?
I've been limiting my own fame to 1Kish despite being OP solo just because.
