Inquiry on Sales Experience in factory

jhesqi

For example i bought goods (on my highest level) and also produce goods (on my highest level), do i still get sales experience when i sell those goods? how does the system identify which i bought (no sales experience) and which i produce (with sales experience)?

I never tried but I suppose that when you buy some, all of them are calculated as bought, so no sale exp.

I believe they follow "last in first out" (accounting? lol), so if you buy goods after your production completes, you will have to sell all the goods (or more than what you have bought) to get the sales exp.

Hrm, we were talking about this the other day and we determined that when you sell goods to system or players, it sells your produced goods that yield xp first. Then goods purchased as second priority. Unsure of how we determined this but it has held true for me

Yeah, recently I produced 1500 goods, bought about 800, and then sold 1500 and got 1500 experience.

As long as you have more goods total than the amount you produced but haven't sold, you can get experience for all you produced.

As soon as your total drops below the amount you produced but haven't sold, you lose the chance to get experience from those goods. So if I had 0 goods at the time I produced those 1500 goods, then used 500 in my stores, bought the 800, and sold 1500, I would only get 1000 experience. Even though I had 1800 when I sold the 1500, the 800 I bought don't count.

If I had 5000 goods when I produced those 1500 goods, and used 500, I would still have 4500, and could still get the 1500 experience.

ahhh so confusing

i guess BTO will have to add the count of how many can still have sales experience on the page. maybe a pop-up will do.

Just keep track of how many goods you produce.

If you produce 1000, sell them right away, or make sure your total doesn't drop below 1000 until you do sell them if you want the experience.

^^^ This is what I have found to be true, also.

jhesqi

so when i have purchase and produce goods, when i use them, which will get used? those that i purchase or those that i produce?

tudorciubotaru

if the goods are the same type , i dont think you can make a difference between them

The ones you purchase will get used first.

the guide says:

If the goods produced by yourself and those bought from others players are placed together, the former will be sold in advance. While the latter will be transported in advance to the store for your own use.
