rewards on the job board

[merlin345]

I noticed today that the number of coins you get in the farming bit has gone down. For instance,before when you collected 3 white sheep wool you got 95 coins  now you only get 5! this dosen't seem fair even with the XP being added. so you would have to spend 48 coins to feed your sheep 3 times for its wool to grow. whats the point of XP if it dosen't do anything like unlock new quests. and because its so low it dosen't do anything. That was my only way to earn quite a fair bit of money. I'd like it if you sorted it out to the old prices with no XP.

Hey merlin345. Thanks for your feedback. We'll definitely let our team know about your thoughts concerning the job board payouts. Thanks!

Yeah, that really isn't fair considering all the items in the shop are really expensive.

Tbh, me and another thread thought the devs got the pricing of these mixed up lol.

But if this WAS intended please change it back

I like it better this way, personally. It's a low coin payout, but you get EXP instead. The
payout for the whole farming job board changed, but there are still very
profitable plants. I love that there are finally options to gain EXP
through the job board, since harvesting alone levels up so slowly. Great for those of us who are trying to unlock items that need a higher farming level!

I don't mind paying 48 coins for the EXP. The EXP you get in this quest goes to your farming level, which is different than your viking level outside of the farm. As you level up your farm, you unlock animals, seeds, structures, and more spaces to plant crops! I was able to level up really quick this way, and earn back my gold using the corn. After the cost of seeds, you get a whopping 100 coin profit! It only takes five minutes for the corn to be ready, so it's much faster. I plant 8 corns at a time (that's how many spots I have so far), then when it finishes, plant 3 more. Then I can submit 2 corn quests and get 200 coins in a total of about 10 minutes max. (Or you can fly around and light campfires for 150 coins ^^ )

So don't worry too much! The payout for the whole farming job board changed, but there are still very profitable plants. I like that there are finally options to gain EXP through the job board, since harvesting alone levels up so slowly.
