rent: pay in gold or cash

[eire1130]

Every midnight, you have to pay rent if you are a renter.

Should you pay in gold or cash? If you smelt and have 0oz, then it will force payment in cash.

idk if this is a question or statement. but yes if you smelt your gold to try to screw them they take the equivalent in cash

The question is, which is more efficient?

[Gazzthegoul]

Doesnt really matter tbh the owner will recieve a % of whatever gold u gather, if u spend all day messing about and dont lift any gold u will not be charged, its only when u lift gold from the ground.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but i will get charged say, 7,000 in rent. But any gold i have on me will also get taken. I'm paying twice. Losing all my gold and paying in cash.
Just started out so this really sucks.

edit: i do not have any loans, I will check the bank to make sure something isn't bugged there.

Are you sure you are not cleaning up gold after the daily report comes out in which case it carries over to the next daily report?

Pay the claim owner in gold ore - make them smelt their own gold! :)

You should be better off paying in ore as if you already smelted you'll have a bigger loss of gold in the smelting process and a higher cost to do so than smelting what you have left over after their cut has been taken. Not a massive deal money-wise early on in the game though.

No, I don't believe it is carrying over to the next day. Gold in my possession goes to 0.0 as the day comes to an end. So I've gotten in to the habit of smelting everything by 0:30 as to not lose anything but several grams instead of dozens or hundreds.

If it is some how carrying over to the next day I do not know how that would be represented as not a loss, as i am not smelting the ore i lose and it simply is no longer available to smelt, at that point.

hmm also im wondering if workers take gold as payment or only cash? Im kinda a noob and operate on a tight budget with not too much extra money floating around i usually invest it back into more equipment. This makes it so i have to go to the blacksmiths all the time just to make sure i got like 20k left to pay the workers every day. I guess i should leave myself more breathing room next time instead of spending every bit of it.

[codehorizon_mod_Egoon]

workers only take cash, if you run out they will leave

I have the same question, which is more efficent. So i tested it. I mined 245oz today out of Old Arnolds. 30% of that would have been 73oz of gold which is enough for almost 4x 18oz bars which would be worth (at roughly 20k each) 80k.

As it happens, i didn't have that much so he took it out in cash which amounted to only 20k.

So i think, the answer to this question is deffinatively: cash is more effiencient.

[Rosenkranz]

Doh, nevermind. Bastage took the 56oz of gold i had laft plus the 20k, so that about makes it equal except i lost 2oz smelting that last bars worth of gold.

Either way it's almost close enough not to matter which way you do it.
