Money-Making Revision[edit]

This discussion has also been on Discord, but I'm also posting it here to reach more people.

It's been an issue for some time that:

  1. The Money-making page is too full and visiting it gives you information overload
  2. It's hard to find an overview of ways to earn money in the midgame. While it's true that the most efficient money-making sources require access to the end-game and that most of the big money grinds are in the end-game, it's also true that there are reasons why you could want an overview of options also available in the mid-game, such as acquiring items from the Bazaar, for example for your ambition.

In order to try to solve this, I've made a copy of the current guide and split it to 4 pages, all of them linked from User:Aximillio/Moneymaking. The intention is that the sections marked as mid-game and end-game have a limited amount of grinds, and a list of all the money grinds is still available in a separate page. Currently, only the mid-game section of the guide is near complete, but it shows how the guides could end up looking like.

My questions are:

  • Would this be useful at all?
  • Are there anything you'd like to see in such a guide that's not there currently?
  • Do you have any suggestions on how to make the existing parts work better, look better etc.?

I think dividing up the money-making guides into separate mid-game and end-game guides is a great idea. Though it does feel strange to me to single out Arbor and calling in favors as distinct parts from the rest of the guide rather than just having a section on card-based money-making. Otherwise, I like the structure a lot, of having a big reference page that can be referred to in more user-friendly narrative guides. Cairo Buckler (talk) 13:59, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
