Proposal of Nanban Re-Balance

HuseyinGazi · November 2017

Dear Papaya,

Firstly I wanted to thank you guys for listening to our suggestions more often and especially implementing
several features from it. It made some good improvement to the game.

There are though some aspects that still needs an change (in my view at least and probably most). For this
the following two.

1) Fixing back stock rates of Chongqing

Right now no one bothers to visit that port, mainly because every back stock there is overly low on every
type of good and let alone the distance is very far from the rest. This makes
it nearly impossible for every player to get an 1:1 ratio exchange there in
goods even with alchemy boost and usage of NPC. Only way to get that ratio is
to be lucky (even with forbidden alchemy book) that the port is under recession
whereas your brought goods aren’t affect, but it never affects art-types
especially Mianzhu nian hua goods. These are high level China trade goods that
sells well in France/Venice/Netherlands, but they cannot take them due the
backstock issue. So my suggestion is that they fix some backstock rates in
Chongqing and especially the art dealing goods are essential to have at least
this good available for them.

2) Basic price change in certain East Asia trade goods

The ones I am talking about are: Huzhou Brush, Wuxu Porcelain, Gumo Ink, Saori, Paper Lantern and Mianzhu
nian hua. In the past the nanban goods from every country used to be having an
selling price in Europe at average 50.000-60.000 ducats each in (100 %) state.
Here is the source with their previous value

http://uwodbmirror.ivyro.net/eg/main.php?id=85000038 (Chinese goods)

http://uwodbmirror.ivyro.net/eg/main.php?id=85000037 (Japan goods)

At an certain update KOEI reduced the East Asia good prices to by approx. 20-30 %, but the order of the
prices of those goods (I named above) are no longer correct… Especially Wuxu
Porcelain reached an degree in terms of time efficiency/easiness that makes
this good to overpowered making the area for British Isles benefiting the
people too much that belongs there. This is the point they don’t need to bother
to get any other ports to sell goods. These are the prices now (without tax
penalty with small deviation at 100 % market rate):

Wuxu Porcelain - 46.900 D each

Gumo Ink - 43.000 D each

Huzhou Brush - 44.200 D each

Mianzhu nian hua - 45.100 D each

Paper Lantern - 43.000 D each

Saori - 43.600 D each

According to the link I gave based on the required contribution/distance
the price order from high to low is: Mianzhu nian hua > Gumo Ink > Huzhou
Brush > Paper Lantern > Wuxu Porcelain > Saori. But it is nearly the
opposite now and it is kinda not logical made. My suggestion is that the prices
needs to be fixed which is (also based on the order of the source):

Wuxu Porcelain - 43.600 D each

Gumo Ink - 45.500 D each

Huzhou Brush - 44.800 D each

Mianzhu nian hua - 48.000 D each

Paper Lantern - 44.200 D each

Saori - 43.000 D each

With this suggestion, you
would bring everything to the original state whereas the prices/distance from
sailing makes more logic. Besides Chongqing becomes more attractive that way to
sail over, since that port is the most tedious one to visit. This has been
suggested earlier, but the GM’s in the past (at OGP) didn’t paid much attention
on it which hurt traders a lot and it can damage the economy balance in Maris
as well… So with this, I hope their voices can be heard this time and that KOEI
accepts this for Maris server.

Thank you in advance!

Kind Regards,
