Do you think expansion will hurt selling mules in normal nations?

[zerofighter777]

OK, two good friends of mine are heavily into crafting (each having almost 100 in 3 proffesions ). In the new area, there seems to be all the crafting guilds and my friends are quite happy there since they dont have to travel all over the place to get to different guilds(all this is based of what I am told). So I wonder, would we need to move our selling mules there? (I am a miner and make my money selling ore in bastok). As I am sure alot of the crafters are going to hang out there due to new missions, besiged/assualt points etc.. Just want to know what you guys think. I could be wrong. Just wondering.

I doubt it. The Al Zahbi AH is linked to Jeuno/Safehold and as such, has the high taxes of Jeuno's. This makes it unfeasible to sell anything that isn't pretty expensive there. (Does anyone know if Al Zahbi has a bazaar tax?) High-end materials like gold and adaman will probably stay at Jeuno/Al Zahbi/Safehold mostly, but for cheaper stuff like tin, zinc or arrowwood, I don't think people are suddenly going to want to pay Jeuno-level taxes to AH them. So if you were selling something outside Jeuno before, you probably still can.

There is no bazaar tax in the new towns. I'd assume the Jeuno AH tax remains the same.

The best thing about the city, is that all the guilds are near each other in the same town!

The AH in Al Zahbi uses normal tax for starting cities.

I thought from reading the articles on ToAU the new towns would be invaded by Beastmen - Besieged. Is Besieged only done in certain areas of the towns? I'm assuming it is, after reading this thread. Just curious how that works. I've been holding off from getting my ferry pass because I don't want to walk into town and continously die my first time there because of the Beastmen raiding the town, hehe.

Not sure about when and where that occurs, but they did say that you won't lose xp from dieing in it.

So, all the guilds are in one place AND the AH is the same one Jeuno uses? Wow, this is almost too good to be true.

Oh, that's a relief. Death with no xp loss during Besieged won't bother me then, hehe.

I don't think we'll see too much of a shift in bazzar sales because of beseiged. I bet come next sunday (conquest/besieged tally) we'll see what exactly besieged is like. And mules standing around... well... bai bai.

Either that or you'll just see level 1 mules only.

Need to try and be there for the first few beseiges. (Have they already started, if so is there a time frame?) Screenshots galore of the insanity.
