Transfering money back from the island

Dnah2Dnah2 Posts: 19
Can/Will you be able to transfer money from the island back to your main farm? I can't find any mention of this.

Thanks,

    I doubt it, but could be wrong, so to be on the safe side I intend to slow my transfers down after the 20th day running.

    It's one way only

    It may well be best to not have too many Island Dollars when the event ends but it will be converted to Sea Shells so you won't really lose it when then the Island goes

    If this is posted somewhere and I missed it take it down. I wondered if after the 30 days if we could exchange our island dollars back into farm dollars again. The reason I ask is I am trying to make a profit and get back what I spent on the island so it would be nice to be able to take the money home withh me after my vacation;)

    Its been fun but I am only doing the firsst chapter and then making as much money off those resources as I can. Thanks.

    No. Leftover Island Dollars will be changed into shells when the event finishes. It does say it is a one way conversion from Farm Dollars to Island Dollars

    There is no way to make money from the Island directly. You can only make shells which you can trade for the exotic seeds. the ship will then buy the exotic fruits from you. That is where you make your farm dollars from the Island

    from what I understand from reading in other post on the fourm , we can not exchange our Island shells back to farm dollars cash on the 1st three farms

    You can't make a monetary profit from the island. All you can do is get valuable things from the island, like really good decos and, when they release them, island seeds. That'll add up to a decent profit eventually though.

    And as I understood it, loading the exotic fruits onto the ship will only give horseshoes. It is the other farm products that give the dollars and XP (4 first slots). So I think you will never see one dime back from that island directly unless you can make dollars with the horse ranch later on.

    Indirectly you can win on the production costs with the decos you can win of course.

    There's nothing being said about whether you get money for them or not. Neither in loading them onto the ship, nor on selling them outside the ship, which they may or may not allow. It's an unknown factor. You do get a bonus for filling the ship though, and even if you get no money for those products, you're one slot closer to that bonus.

    In fact there is something being said about that...

    • The reward for filling up 2 or 4 slots will be XP, dollars and horseshoes
    • Filling up slots 5-6 and consequently finishing the shipment will grant you additional horseshoes
    • For greenhouse goods slots, you may chose to give Barnacle one out of 3 different amounts - the amount of goods you give will also influence the amount of horseshoes you get back from him (the bonus for a completed shipment is not touched by this).

    Slots 5 and 6 are the fruit slots. They say it will grant you additional horseshoes. Nothing being mentioned about XP and dollars - those are for the first 4 products that are regular products from the farms (refer to the entire article for that). Also, you may choose to give Barnacle one of 3 different amounts, that will influence the amount of horseshoes you get (no mentioning of XP and dollars again).

    It's still pretty clear that they will help you get to the full-ship bonus. Not everyone is able to fill all their shipments, so this will get them money. Not only that, but if these fruits are required for filling the shipment, they'd be barred from getting the bonus without them, wouldn't they?

    And my point still stands. You only get money from the island indirectly, not directly.

    And I agreed with your point. You won't see a dime back directly, I think. But indirectly yes.

    Hmmm. I still don't read it that there will be no dollars from the exotic fruits. Still we will no for certain tomorrow :)

    But I think we all agree that the answer for the first Opening Post is that the transfer is one way and for MrsSGBrownUser's opneing post from her merged thread that she is not going make any dollars directly from the island

    So is it better to save your shells for the greenhouse and exotic seeds or purchase a decoration or two from the tropical barter?

    We don't the value of the exotic fruits yet, so we will have to wait until tomorrows update

    But my guess would be the exotic seeds will be the way to go for maximum value from the island

    I say wait until all the facts are in, then decide which is better. I have been planning on waiting until the end of the event to start thinking about actually being something first. And I have enough seashells to buy the second most expensive deco right now.

    I have been planning on only buying the Oasis with seashells though. Go big or go home, right?

    Didn't realize that now anything you sell to the captain on the ship is now paid in horseshoes. Just found that out... Won't be getting the ranch because I'm not spending any more money on the island--it's been a waste of resources for me, so I won't be trading with the captain any more either until he starts paying out in dollars again. Would be different if we could keep the cute island decorations, but since we can't...

    He also still offers dollars and XP as a prize for the first two and next two slots. The last two slots will give only horseshoes and XP. There is no reason not to ship the regular farm products and get the dollars and XP for it. Also, you can keep the island decos you buy with shells and of course the sand castles are yours as well. Only the decos that you place on the island will disappear.

    Yeah, apparently the money you get for shipping products is all figured into the bonus so you get one lump sum.

    Yeah it looked that way to me too, plus you can now get at least some horseshoes even if you didn`t get any seashells, which is better than expected.
