[Question] Organic Contract 'Bonuses'

Since having the farm on the test server, I noticed I wasn't getting any 'bonuses' for completing organic market contracts, despite fulfilling lots of these contracts.

The last couple of days some  contracts have begun giving me bonuses (usually about level 8) however the majority of them still have level 0, meaning no bonuses for completing these.

Is anyone else having this issue? It means I'm struggling for cash on my farm!

    It takes time to build up to more bonuses. Keep filling contracts and they will increase. I am now getting some at lvl 8 and higher, but still getting lvl 0 as well.

    Contract are broken up by the number of different items required to fill them.

    If you turn down all contracts except 1-item contracts, for instance, and DO all the 1-item contracts regardless of what they are, the bonus on those will go up every time you get a new one, while the 2-6 item contracts will stay at 0.

    Each #-item contract is independent of each other, so you could have a 1-item contract at 99 (bonus 25%), a 2-item contract at 10, a 3-item contract at 26, etc..

    Due to not having a lot of excess materials, I'm only filling the 1 & 2 item contracts; gets the bonus up faster, and they're quick to fill. Yeah, I have to sit through a lot of "wait 30 minutes" when I turn down a 3, 4, 5 or 6 item contract, and then hope that the one that replaces it is a 1 or 2 item one, but it's working out pretty well. Right now my 1-items are at 46 (bonus 19.67%) and my 2-items are at 36 (bonus 18.02%).  My 3-6 item contracts are still all at 0.

    (You also get a standard 5% bonus for any contract, so my 1-items are really at 24.67%) :)

    I noticed on the US1 server that the 5% bonus is applied only to the base price, not the price after research completed.  Are you experiencing the same?

    No, I'm not seeing that. I just checked all my contracts, and for those that are Dollar-Only rewards, they're offering me the Co-Op Research price + the 5% bonus.

    Maybe the ones you're looking at have multiple rewards? IE., one with an XP reward as well as a $$$ reward will have  a slightly lower $$$ reward because of the XP.. (Or Horseshoes.. Or Karma.. Or Gold.. etc.)
