    Thank you @WascallyWabbit for the news about Wednesdays update, that is great news indeed and I will be looking forward to it. Thank them for us :)

    I will keep my fish market on hold until that time in hopes that they remove that nasty catch 22 because when we get a contract to value 99 it should stay there.

    YES @Kamilcom (GB1), I cannot say that you didn't warn me, but I wanted to believe that it was not so. Next time I will head your warning :)

    I don't mean to sound like an idiot here, but when you say that I should start flushing contracts @buddy194 (US1) do you mean just start filling choice contracts?
  • I can't wait for wednesday, thank you so much @WascallyWabbit  for the great news, it just made my day. :)

    I'd advice caution. Save your jumping and dancing and thanking for after it arrives and you had time to check it and verify it is as they said without any hidden tweaks or bad maths etc. :)

    I am going to wait and see what the update brings, before I get too enthusiastic ... you never know with GG, they might have another bad surprise up their sleeves  for us


  • Yay! Thank you for actually listening, GGS! But everyone...don't be surprised if the "sellable" prices are abysmal. I'm happy that they are bringing back the direct-sell option, but I expect it to take a while yet before they settle on final prices. Might be best to wait a while to use the new feature much so that something like the $410million new windmill upgrade loss doesn't happen again to anyone.
  • @WascallyWabbit  Does that mean they will be re-balancing the pools vs contracts again, so that items in the pools are offered more equally, and asked for in the contracts more equally?

    I am not doing a happy dance  people these are the same people who did this to us telling us it was for our own good,  telling me that with the market I should be able to make 36 million a day with the market  I will believe it when I see it. The pools of fish need to go back to the way they were before the crash it has been a mess there and also needs fixed. So no gold buying here  until  I actually see  real improvement.

    I believe direct sale prices will be very low.  There is an 82% difference between direct sales (more than 6 mil a day) and Market sales (up to 32 mil a day); I am fine with this as long as the Market is a higher source of income and the fish are balanced.  It says we can make up to 32mil a day cash, so I am guessing the fish WILL be a lot more balanced (hopefully) and the value on the trinkets will be drastically reduced or eliminated.  


    Would like a little clarification on this : "With the contracts you are able to earn up to 34 million cash per day (without skipping and without spending gold)."  

    Does this mean there is some kind of cap on the Market contracts?

    Hopefully when they start to allow direct sale of fish again they will lower the cost to equip a boat which is outrageous as it stand now so while part of me want to shout and jump for joy the realist is going to wait see how things shake out....

    Well, like I said, I don't know exactly what you're doing or what your experiences have been with it, so I'm kind of talking through my hat here - but when I said flushing contracts, I meant declining them with no hesitation.  That may be what you mean when you say filling choice contracts.  My reason for speaking up was because I thought you might be waiting to fill a 1200 oyster contract when, in the time it would take to collect them, you could have filled many other high priced contracts (using the oysters as you got them) for a much greater return.

    You probably already know that and taken it into account.  But in case you hadn't, I wanted to make sure you considered it.

    Well  I am also cautiously waiting hope it is not for the other shoe to drop. We shall see how happy I am  next Thursday after I see what is what. 

  • Thank you @WascallyWabbit for passing on our concerns, and the good news. Happy Weekend!

    So we will be able to fill more contracts...

    This will eventually lower the prizes for them i guess as in hand in more and same prizes will result in to much $$ fast so a hotfix will come 2days after this update to "correct" the prizes?
  • @Finubar (NL1) You will make up to 34 million a day with the contracts, depending on hours you are on line. Also, up to 6 million a day selling fish directly.

    Might be able to finish 1 lab after all before i grow to old to handle a keyboard :smile:

    Unless they get rid of the chum it will never happen. To complete 6 orders that I have I need to spend approx 260 hrs making chum. With chum in every order it is not possible to make 34 mil a day without skipping or gold.

    Since they upgraded the fishing I have not been able to complete a contract, I have contacted big farm concerning this problem but have not fixed the problem.  I do not like the new fishing cannot make any money do not understand and there is no one to go to for help

    If ever you need help, tips & tricks regarding the BF game, this is the place to go:

    .... and this is the page in that website regarding the DSF/Dockyard:

    .... and this page concerns the Fish Market:

    And please be aware of the fact that one has to be level 20 before one can unlock the DSF dockyard!

    Happy Farming!  :)

  • I wish they would let us direct sell, even once a month, so we stood a chance

    @CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)
    Don't use one time declination of the contract try to confirm the same thing three to four times of the same merchant (holiday resort) 
    Then let us know I am in the 30's if  u confirm I will try to get the bonus up BTW I am still doing the contract to go up in bonus thanks
  • @WascallyWabbit  Does that mean they will be re-balancing the pools vs contracts again, so that items in the pools are offered more equally, and asked for in the contracts more equally?
    @CordeliaAnne (US1) As far as we know, changing the pools & the travelling times, was to slow down the amount of fish caught, but it led to other issues, such as, it would have made the FHWE virtually unplayable, so they were changed back before that event was run & we have not heard anything about changes to the pools since then, only that the contracts are being reworked. We won`t know exactly what has been changed until we get the notes for the Official Announcement of the update.

    Unless they get rid of the chum it will never happen. To complete 6 orders that I have I need to spend approx 260 hrs making chum. With chum in every order it is not possible to make 34 mil a day without skipping or gold.

    @BigGB (AU1) We also included the issues with chum in the feedback, including that it appeared in too many contracts, the amounts were too high & that it takes too long to produce - Again, we won`t know until we see what is in the update, what has been changed.

    Don't know what Wednesday will bring us, but up until now: if you don't decline contracts you will get equally offered items in the fishspots and your contracts will get better, and the bonus will increase! I always had equally offered items in all pools, no problems getting enough of each kind of fish!
