I am of iron age and I have available the quest 8 that requests "Scout a province
OR Donate 800 goods either from your current era or the era below to the guild treasury".
Assuming I am considering donating goods there are two options:
1 - Donate 800 old bronze goods (which would only be 400 old iron goods, which is not little) ... that are not used in gvg and also for expedition.
2 - Donate 800 old iron goods ... at least for the guild are valid for gvg and expedition. But that means donating these 800 goods in my age = 300 goods to build the coliseum + 300 goods to build the alejandria lighthouse + 75 (or 150 in bronze age) for tower of babel + 75 (or 150 in bronze age)for zeus + 25 (or 50 in bronze age)for the observatory + 25 with no specific destination.... In short, the cost of 7 large buildings + tip, just to complete only one mission ...
Although the option is crazy and supposing that I decided to donate the 800 goods of the iron age: taking full advantage of each factory produces 30 goods per day if I used one factory would take 26 days to join it and the event ends in 6 days ... mmm mathematically does not reach
So how many factories should I use? 5 factories x 5 days (so I have 1 day left to finish the rest of the event) x 30 goods = 750 goods ... not enough ...
In my case that I started playing on this server last week, it is impossible to have saved that amount of goods and although I have spent a lot of time playing at that age, I think it would not be wise to allocate such amount to donate
Even so and supposing that I obtained the goods by some miracle or gift of friends, I must consider that in the quest 10 "Research a technology
OR Have the third difficulty in Guild Expedition solved" I will have to consider saving the goods to enable the technology, because I doubt that having 6 factories or more, have enough troops (without spies and alcatraz) to complete the third level of expedition among other considerations
Obviously I do not have another option to explore ...
They should really provide what is requested in the missions with the true possibility of realization at each age.
PD: Certainly as indicated in later messages can not donate goods of the bronze age. I am sorry!!! when I start to play and if I do not mind the memory if I could and therefore consider it an option, but no longer and therefore a less available option.
