The History of Owning Land

1. Stable / Ranch (20 Gold / $500)

  • Each egg is worth $0.30 with a max of 50 eggs for £15.
  • Max 10 chickens.
• Sheer your sheep.
  • A bag of wool is worth $2, 15 bags maximum for $30.
  • Max 6 sheep.
• Full delivery of all stock would be $60, but doubled to $120 for bulk sell
• Feed your animals more often and hire ranch hands (Up to 3, $2 per day each) to increase the speed the produce is made. Up to triple speed.
  • Each ranch hand adds 100% extra pay to deliveries, taking the pay up to $480 (Which could be boosted to $500 for the complete bulk sell).
• Animals can be bred, taking 3 ingame days to birth the baby version and 3 more days for that baby to grow.
  • Livestock can be sold separately from stock to NPCs:
    • $10 per cow
    • $3 per chicken
    • $5 per sheep
• Other players can also purchase your animals, including any horses you put up for sale, for a negotiated price.
• Re shoe your horse to improve it’s core drain rate for a short while.

2. Treasure Vault (20 Gold / $500)

• For new treasure hunter role.
• Like collector but it is based on maps and tips.
• Tombs and catacombs to explore.
• Items are stored in the vault until exported all together as cargo.
• Can store up to 50 artefacts at $15 each. ($750 total, meaning it almost pays for itself).
• Vault is likely to be raided without security upgrade.
  • Two guards can be hired at $2 per day each. Their weapons can be upgraded from revolvers to repeaters for a one-time fee of $400.
  • You can defend it yourself, but if the whole posse dies it will result in a failure.
• Other treasures can be found like special clothes and weapons (Crown, golden mace with damage boost) which treasure hunters can keep or sell to a fence for 2 gold bars.
  • Very rare to find as these have a less than 5% chance of spawning as loot.

3. Dungeon / Prison (25 Gold / 5 Unlock Tokens / $625)

• For the Vigilante Role.
• Capture bounty gang members and deliver them to the police as larger units, perhaps in multiple wagons.
• Upgrade cells and hire guards (Up to 5, $4 per day) to reduce the chance of a breakout and manage the way your personal prison is run.
• Prisoners can be interrogated for clues to other locations of gang members and evidence, but can sometimes lead you to traps.
  • The information depends on how well the prisoner is treated, the gang difficulty and the approach you take to interrogation.
    • Good cop/bad cop is available.
• Up to 20 prisoners can be kept, including two higher ups and the leader, with 5 pieces of evidence per case.
  • Crime cases are selected from crime boards in Sheriff offices and police stations, but one can be purchased for the personal dungeon to save some travel.
• Each prisoner is worth $5, the higher ups are $10 and the leader is $20 but they’re harder to get.
• Evidence is $0.50 per piece.
• Bonus cash for full "stock", taking delivery from $127.50 up to $900.
  • I mean, you brought in a whole gang and evidence of their crimes by yourself. That deserves a juicy bonus.
• Criminals can be found as random events by any posse member, and delivered to the cell whenever. Much like pelts for Cripps.
  • They can still be hunted as "Bounty sheet" targets from your crime board.

  • Luxury parties work like the parties at the Diamond Casino and Resort and cost $100 to host
• Drink much fancier drinks than your typical beers, moonshine and whisky.
