clint wants copper ore
Go to clint

Just get rid of the bulletin board and set the price of copper ore to 70 or 65 please. No point.

No one would do that, though.

30 Copper Ore costs a lot of gold. Even with the very, very small "discount" (the quest reward), it's not worth buying any.

what year are you even on? 3k gold is not a lot



copper stops appearing in the mines after a while. It shows up again every once in a while but you quickly run out crafting things. Gotta buy it, not worth the time to go back to the lower levels. Don't transmute too much btw, iron is useful too but you loose more transmuting than you get

If you're just beginning the game, it is a lot of gold, and it's not worth it, when you can easily go to the mine and farm the gold in 10 minutes.

I'm in year three. I haven't been focusing on gold so I have only earned four million.

I don't really see how that's relevant; I have something like 400 Copper Ore in a chest, so completing a 30 Ore quest would cost me time and gold and give me nothing in return.

For someone who's still early into the game, the 2,250g cost of the ore is huge and completing the quest by buying the ore would be catastrophic. You'd come out of the deal with 1,750g less than you started with and a 500g opportunity gone, all for 30 lousy copper ore.

No one's insane enough to do something like that.

If you instead spend five minutes in the easy areas of the mine... you'll keep your 2,250g, win the 500g, get the 30 Ore and you'll get some additional stuff (Coal, a few gems, some monster kills) while you're there.

This thread has no point.

BEWARE ! You have to mine Fresh ore for Clint. Stuff already in your inventory he won't accept.

Whether in money or time it's a major nuisance quest but if he accepts ore from his own shop - that's the way to go.

Four million year three ? Damn I'm at start of Year 3 and only done a million or so. There again I've got a ton of unsold items in chests ready for crafting.

S.x.

I do think it would be nice if clint's ore requests update the same way slime killing jobs do, so that once you hit the right levels he starts asking for silver and gold instead

No no no... it's a scam. He sells copper ore for a fortune.

It's like if someone offered to give you 40 dollars if you show them a hamburger that you own, and conveniently, they're selling hamburgers for 200 dollars each. If you buy it from them so you can show it to them, you've essentially just paid 160 dollars for a hamburger. And on top of that, you lost an opportunity to make 40 easy dollars.

Take 15 minutes to cook a burger. You'll keep your 200 dollars and you'll make 40 dollars off of the weirdo. And hey, you still end up with a hamburger.

Don't worry too much about your financial progress, it tends to grow a lot with time. When I was where you're at right now, I was probably at less than a million earned. But I had time to setup a Greenhouse and now I'm making something like 250,000g a week.

If you find the quest bothersome, you can simply not do it. It's only 500g and even early game that's not exactly a bank-breaking opportunity loss.

AFAIK there is no penalty for not doing the bulletin board quests, or for accepting them and failing to complete them. And youy won't get a new one the same day even if you accept it just for the sake of removing it.

So if you don't want to do a quest, just ignore it.

Just keep ore for the quest and throw it on the ground and pick it up. Much easier than buying it every time or mining for it.

This whole conversation is odd since you can just pull the ore out of a chest one at a time and it'll count for him.

Technically correct. But it's obviously unintended, so I would consider it an exploit.

I'd rather just skip the quest.

I had trouble with Clint's ore quest, same with the 'bring Willy a fish' ones. (I tried those quests a long time ago and I only attempted them once) I think I took ore from a chest and gave it to Clint but it turned out to be a bad gift instead and I was like, wtf?

with Willy's quest I think I gave him a fish that I bought from the travelling merchant and that didn't work..

Clint's ore quests and Willy's fish quests require you to obtain the items after taking on the quest.

Look in your journal to know if you've still in the "collection" stage of the quest or if you're in the "turn-in" stage of the quest.

Giving the NPCs stuff before you're at the "turn-in" stage will be interpreted as you simply gifting the character one of the items.
