I confess Land of Livia is getting a wee bit grindy at the moment as the next thing I need to do to progress is buy the ship, however since i've bought the three real estate items available from the towns, the only way to increase my max gold is to upgrade those items, which takes more gold.
I'm getting about 30 gold per quest, and it's probably going to take me another 900 or so gold to upgrade my real estate items enough, plus of course 1000 gold for the ship itself, though of course if I upgrade my parrot to increase gold drops that might change the figures a bit.
I haven't got to this legendary quest yet, though as that takes listening at inns which in turn means more gold that might take me a while to get to .
One thing I would like to see in the game which might alleviate the lack of funds, would be the ability to go and work for a few hours. used Say when you go to sleep or aren't likely to be having your phone handy few minutes or so.
it'd be nice to have a longer option say to work for between 2 and 12 hours, earning no experience or items, but a certain amount of gold per hour, say starting with 30 gold for a lower level job, but rising as you do more higher level jobs.
That way you could go to bed, or go out to work yourself or whatever other thing might take up your time not questing, and come back in the morning to a bunch more gold which you could then use to upgrade items etc.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
