I know I made this forum post awhile back but this needs to be addressed ASAP. The price for pumps and tree's are just too high! If its possible to reduce the cost to 1-2 coins, that would be much easier for players to craft erenors & gather up starlight archeum crystals for the hiram ring. Getting 2 coins a day per castle, aside from the warehouse event on Wed, just takes way to long to receive a pump or tree and whatever custom quests being added to the castles to get more coins, I have yet to see 1 pop up. This also would help with the next patch, the vivid archeum orb requires an UNBELIEVABLE amount of archeum and if this change doesn't get added, no one is going to be getting T3 erenor for a good long time except for players who have been stocking up on archeum since server launch. Crafting 1 of these needs 180 sunlight ess, 90 moonlight ess and 15 starlight ess. If the tree's are that expensive, good luck to anyone wanting to have a shot at T3.
 
Lower the cost, allow planting on east/west continents. Only way to rescue crafting and the people that have made their in-game living from crafting.
 
The issue that was brought up during development with this is as follows.
The Farm Work quest, which requires Auroria Mineral Water Packs/Smoldering Log Bundles, gives Territory Pences and Territory Resource Coins.
Calmlands (for example) Supplies quest tells you to craft a special pack for Resource Coins and gives more Territory Pences as a reward.
Territory Pences can be converted into Territory Coins.
Therefore, it'd be a self-feeding loop of abuse of the coin value which we can't allow, unfortunately.

No one is going too be putting pumps or trees's next to the turn in. Their going to be used so players can craft like ragequit said. That abuse is invalid due to there being so many nodes for resource packs to turn in for pence and the nodes come off CD in 1h 30mins so players have no need to place it on their land, in DS for example, and surf that pack back to the castle. Not only would that be a waste of time but waste of a pack that could be better used to obtain crafting materials for later use.
 
Nobody in their right mind is going to be placing pumps on public land. They'd have to babysit and defend it until the pump is ready then pull and use all 10 packs before someone else kills them and pulls the packs or uproots the pump for fun. its simply not going to happen when there is a readily available supply of water/logs all over castle zones.
Anyone planting pumps or trees on DS/WH/GR land to run back to a castle should be given a medal, or sectioned. Probably the latter.

The only realistic use for pumps and trees at this point is to grow archeum or sun/moonpoints. I've given a potential use for them on mainland east/west continents that will boost the production of archeum and points for crafting both gear and infusions, something which is becoming more problematic rapidly with no other solutions brought forward. If you or the devs have a better idea that you're working on im sure the community would be all ears.
 
Lets say someone did spend 10 coins for 1 pump...the quest gives 1/2 a coin and 1 pump gives 10 packs so ur spending 10 coins to get 5 back...im sorry but how is this getting abused?!

Are you saying people would use the pump or tree to get their castle quests easily? I sincerely doubt that. Why waste your coins on a quest if that quest gives the exact same reward...

Besides, waters and logs are close to the castles anyway, people do not need to abuse it in the first place.

I vote to lower the cost for trees and pumps as well.
 
Actually, an easy fix is to no longer allow to plant them on public land in the first place? >.>
