Raiding

I have tried asking in black market with no answers, but what is a good rate with raiding for somebody? Also does it work by them giving you a set amount of turns you use them all and get a % of the results, or do they give you a set amount of turns and you have to get them a certain amount and the rest is yours? The last seems more likely but I am just wandering.

The beauty of the market, is it is whatever you want it to be.
Granted, you may not get any takers but...

In general, at the minimum you need to offer them market-rates for a direct UU/AT exchange. So if, for example, the market rate was 1 AT for 30 UU and they handed over 1K at at the minimum they would require 30K UU.

Now, obviously - unless their an alliance mate or friend that's not going to be acceptable. Check the black market to find the going rate, there is no real consistency. :?

---------------
Normally it is the last: They give you X turns to get them X UU, anything you make above that is your profit. But again, i've seen some weird deals - it's whatever you and the other guy agree upon.

Hey Swordfish.

It very much depends on the arrangements made. Basically whoever is hiring the raider would expect to get more for his turns than he could by directly selling them. At the current rates that is about 50-60K UU per 1K ATs.

You either work it on a percentage basis, ie the raider gives 70% of the UU to the hirer, and keeps 30%, or on a set rate - so the raider raids the ATs then gives a pre-agreed amount.

The person hiring the raider supplies the attack turns.

The benefit of raiding for somebody else is that its a simple and quick, and you dont have to go through all the hassle of trying to get the ATs. The downside is that if you get the ATs yourself you make a bit more profit.

When I was raiding for someone the other day I got to keep 30% of what I raided, which was between 20-40k UU per 1K ATs.

Hope that helps.
