SO we are speaking of the materials on 1st post are used to earn a ticket for a lotto.
Then the winning contestant gets said item?

I am correct in thinking that?

Yes, every contestant has to front the loot as their entry fee, then we hold a lotto for the item in question.

sounds fine with me. makes it to where the clan gets all of the contestants loot.


although I was debating whether or not to remove the entry fee.
since most of the active members will be donating to the 1k a day.
although I am not sure.


Thoughts?

No fee beyond the loot if we are going to go that route.

seeing as loot and money are both required for recipe items, why not charge a little gold for each ticket? it doesn't have to be a lot, may haps 1 or 2 gold per loot item but just something to deter overly massive ticket purchases.
-instead of an entry fee, there would be a ticket price?

Ah, glad we are on the same page and that would produce a lot more to work with for the mule.

Mule-Aids... people to help accept and record transactions, not a bad idea if things get massively over complected. We could even have "Nexus Ticket Collectors"

I can imagination it now...

Nexus Ticket Collector 23- how are you doing today?
Nexus Ticket Collector 24- O' just fine, DW is really bringin in alot of loot today, think we should take a lunch break soon?
Nexus Ticket Collector 23- your always hungry, but sure, right after i tally up that last order of copper and pearls for the big boss man.
Nexus Ticket Collector 24- alright! drinks on me! I'll be over in the break room.
Nexus Ticket Collector 23- Ok, i'll be there in a bit.
Nexus Ticket Collector 5- Whats with all this lally gaging! I want to see some work done here in the next few minutes!
Nexus Ticket Collector 24- We were going to take a lunch break
Nexus Ticket Collector 5- can i come?
Nexus Ticket Collector 23- sure I guess...

think "Venture Brothers", monarch's henchmen.

I actually have a couple people in charge of the mules that report odd things to me or details I want known.

As for the entry fee, fine. Recipes do cost gold. 100g plus loot.

I think what he's trying to say is that to get a lotto ticket on a certain item( for example the katana)

You would bring in: 50 Sword Blade, 50 Mythrill, 100 Night Fire, 20 Leather, 20 Stitches, 20 Gold, and 100 gaia gold. for one ticket,
or a cut down version of the materials if we so decide.

At least that's what I'm seeing.
Right?

xd okies.

but harder lists should earn more tickets!
like each ticket gets a level of difficulty, easy, super easy to hard and super hard, each with a different level of payout. the harder ones would cost more gold and yield more tickets where as the easier ones will cost less but also give less tickets.

so lets say that it is a Lawn gnome/bills ranch item quest, 10 copper/50 flamingo feathers/20 leaves/20 bronze/10 garlic herb/100g
and it gives you 10-50 tickets
where as,
50 Sword Blade, 50 Mythrill, 100 Night Fire, 20 Leather, 20 Stitches, 20 Gold, and 1000 gaia gold would give you 100-200 tickets

I'd kind of gotten the impression that the harder lists would have more expensive prizes...or is the shift to Lotto going to mean that there's just one drawing for multiple prizes?
