Player Hint Guide: MONEY AND BANKING</FONT></H1>
|
|
<P>The very first thing you will need to do on Horse Isle is earn
|
|
some money. You'll need it for food and lodging for yourself and your
|
|
horses, buying tack, entering competitions and paying for travel.</P>

<P><FONT FACE="Albany, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=4>MAKING
|
|
MONEY. </FONT></FONT>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The best way to make money is to do <A HREF="quests.html">quests</A>.
|
|
Visit each house and shop, and talk to the people who live and work
|
|
there. The vast majority will have things they need done for them,
|
|
for which they will pay very well. Some people need things delivered;
|
|
some people have lost things and need them found for them. Some
|
|
quests are very simple and others extremely difficult; more about
|
|
that on the Quests page.</P>
|
|
<P><IMG SRC="store.jpg" NAME="graphics2" ALIGN=LEFT HSPACE=19 VSPACE=10 WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=221 BORDER=0>As
|
|
you walk around Horse Isle, you will step on and over all kinds of
|
|
things you can grab and put into your inventory. All of these things
|
|
can be sold.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Most of them can be sold to the various shops in the towns. All
|
|
the shops in Horse Isle will buy the same kinds of things they sell.
|
|
General Stores will buy food items, some articles of clothing, some
|
|
miscellaneous horse items, etc. Rock Stores will buy the various ores
|
|
and gems you will find. Food stores will buy the berries, apples,
|
|
acorns and other edibles you come across.</P>
|
|
<P>Stores generally buy items for about half of what they sell the
|
|
same items for, and different stores have different prices. As you
|
|
travel around Horse Isle, keep notes on which stores sell for the
|
|
least and buy for the most.</P>
|
|
<P>Items which cannot be sold in stores can usually be sold to
|
|
individual NPCs throughout the game. Search for these people by going
|
|
into the houses and talking to them, and seeing what they want. Keep
|
|
notes on who buys what, and for how much.</P>
|
|
<P>Money can also be made by trading/selling items and horses to
|
|
other players. However, you must be very careful when doing this.
|
|
Remember, we are, and ought to be, all strangers to each other on
|
|
Horse Isle. Sad as it is to say, not everyone can be trusted to make
|
|
a fair deal. More on this in the section on Horses.</P>

|
|
MONEY. </FONT></FONT>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Once you have made some money, it is highly recommended that you
|
|
deposit as much of it as you can in the local banks. The Horse Isle
|
|
banks pay interest on money you deposit, and the more money you have
|
|
in the bank, the more interest you will accrue. You can deposit as
|
|
much or as little as you want, and you can withdraw any amount of
|
|
money whenever you need it. All the Horse Isle banks are connected,
|
|
so you have access to your money at all the banks in whichever city
|
|
you find yourself.</P>
|
|
<P>One last note: <B>Never, never, NEVER give anyone money for
|
|
nothing!</B> Also, never give "down-payments" on anything,
|
|
as unfortunately a player who asks for a down-payment on something is
|
|
unlikely ever to be seen again! <B><FONT COLOR="#800000">If this
