Haha hey guys, I just found one of he best things ever :p

Many know that you need 1.3M to get 99 FM with willow logs.
Well today I had a bit of inspiration when I saw a guy FMing. I checked the ash price.


Willow log = 9 gp
Ash = 36 gp

1.3 / 9 * (36. 9) = 3 M

So if you collect all your ashes, FM comes at a 3M profit ;)

Finally found a use for FM!

Collecting the ashes would slow down the process so much, also were only human so you cant expect to get all of the ashes….

Why not kill dragons for 300k gold per hour and do the FM with normal speed? ^^
1) You get the 99 faster
2) You get the money to the logs faster than by picking ash

You have to also consider if it's feasible to sell such a large amount of ash at one time.

Who buys ash? :) Or I guess you can collect them as junk.

I would be worried about telling people they can make a profit by collecting it, then having millions of ashes floating around in GE. There is probably a small buyer base for it, and a small seller base for it, and when the sellers are suddenly huge, there wont be enough people buying it.

I think you could easily make more than 3M with the time saved by not collecting ash :)

But it's lousy profit :( 5k in 5 minutes = 60k per hour. Smelting steel is like 100-120k per hour.

^is the best point made.

Plus, you'd probably need Object reflection for an ash collector to work well, if at all in (especially in a densely populated game space)
