We need some players to supply the market with gold.
I think some of the stone producers (like azer in R2) should get some high gold research and start selling gold
this will make high Q gold availible and will probobly make the jewelery more profitable
ATM I'm developing silver research, and selling silver necklaces at a good price (have my own shop and I'm self-sufficient). Looking at the market, I can't help but say that the prices are too high, that's why gold isn't profitable at all.
i do agree that we should revive the jewellry industry, but haven't we had a similar conversation before were we all said we want someone to develop other industries and nearly all of said we wanted to but didn't bother.
The jewelry industry is highly profitable but the diamond rings, part is saturated. I think Jinc would be helpful for reviving the industry.
Jewelry as a whole is an unreliable industry as the demand is too low. Diamond rings are the best example and one of very few industries in Kapi where the supply can and does exceed the demand. That could easily happen to other jewelry markets.
Also I'm a sotne producer(currently) on realm 2... It would cost me a LOAD of money to research the gold, along with time. Then on top of that it would take me a lot of time to sell all the gold. So I might as well just stick with stones.
