I'm hoping to get into ally trading soon. As it's the best way to grow. I feel like a complete idiot because I could be hlbc/whatever it is called nowadays with new lands. But I'm not because I never saw allies as important. I skimmed hit eb's and maximised my income that way. So please forums, has anyone got any pro tips on ally trading? I know quite a few things, and that now isn't probably the best time to start as t6 just came out. But does anyone know best prices to buy at? Between 15b->150b? Thankyou in advance.
I personally like trading pro-pack allies since they cannot be reset and many ppl seem to like to purchase them
Well if u can find cheap, dropped allies due to T6 it wouldn't be that bad to hire them right now I think (if there are?).
Umm, always hire active and propack users. The best range imo, is around 30-70b. There often new players in that price range, and once they grow they get hired off. BOOM profit.
I have a active 70b ally. Little overpriced but at least they are working hard and actually talk to me lol.
On the other hand. Once they get past 150b price tag. I may let them go and down scale to two 70b allies again. As they will sell quick. The market right now is crazy though. I won't be investing high amounts just yet.
This will help: Ally Market Price List - View Thread There is much for you to learn and a ton of threads offering tip, tricks, and information. The above list will come in very handy for you, and there are other links there to help you learn.
Guild hansels have high BFE though. Plus they are cheap (120b max). And if you are lucky. They upgrade fully overnight. That's what I'll do. Bank in allies and live off them for ages. Then once I have all lands I'll cash em in.
They are really easy to tell activity, and act as banks. I personally prefer them, as long as they are under 90b
The market just completely stalled, you won't sell any ally except if you were extremely lucky to grab a dropped active one. In the near future, I see the trading picking up again, especially if you are lucky to have allies that are growing faster due to the introduction of new lands and T6. This would however imply that your allies are not far from hlbc. If you had some hlbc allies priced around the 700-800b mark, and those are very active and expand into frostlands, you'll get nicely "underpriced" allies. Those might sell quite quickly again once all T6 buildings came out. Before T6 is fully released, I predict a total standstill of the ally market, however (but well, I am not Allen Greenspan irl).
I also use hav0c's ally prices/your ally prices. I don't seem to have much luck though. There is a slight decrease in sell time but that's it.
As for guild hansels, I avoid those as the pest over a 100b price tag. Why on earth would anybody buy an ally that obviously doesn't want to grow anymore? BFE has no influence whatsoever on an ally's worth! On the defense of guild hansels: as new lands came out and guild hansels are forced to build only high stats buildings on FL, you could be lucky and your gh ally upgrades on FL by investing his banked gold. You could see your gh double his stats overnight. But well, not sure about that...
