What is the going rate for labor/employing players right now? -Wasteland work: assisting with project via fighting mobs, adding torches to surrounding cave systems, and maybe some digging. -Wasteland work: digging out an area. What rate of rupees is usually payed for such work? What rate of pay are players (or yourself) usually happy with getting?
perhaps 5k-8k / hour, high skills are not required low skill: under 8k / hour + tools, hard to say good skills: 10k-12k / hour + tools high skill: 15k per hour + tools You keep the digged materials. I'd suggest to calculate the needed time in hours for a high skill digger and then multiply by 15k to get the price.
Low Skill: Dies when falling into lava while mining.... Good Skills: Mines in grid patterns and gets the job done right... High Skilled: Mines with his/her own Haste II set up...Jobs done quick with both parties happy. Do I have that about right???
I have a wild project that I've been paying people to help me dig out. I've been paying 6k rupee per chunk mined out from y58 to bedrock. I provide haste and speed beacons. The players can keep all they mine out even all ores. I also tend to tip pretty well to & provide access to xp grinders for repairs. I've had a lot of takers on the offer & quite a few have mined multiple chunks for me.
