| "ONLY WAY to leave Skull and return to Remer is to have your own Small Fishing Boat. To make one you need 2k wood and level 20 construction skill. There are usually other pirates with the required level to create one for you, just ask in Pirate chat (#4) and you'll likely be able to find someone that will trade 2k wood or 4k gp from you for one."

Is it just me, or the profit from the invasion is incredibly small? I mean:
1k cooked herring = 5000gp
1k iron bars = 3000gp
3k wood = 6000gp
500 cooked cod donated = 7000gp
which goes for a total of 21000gp. Since the profit was 2288+1525=3813, you had a loss of aprox. 17kgp. I understand the times are really better in skull, but the huge profit loss on donating is a BIG NO for pirates...Or did i got something wrong? |

| "As you can see the gp returns do NOT equal the actual worth of the resources put into the stockpile but the faster experience gains are well worth a visit to skull for any one between total levels 50 to 200."
Trade in gp fr the faster gains and negative fame. No one's saying you 'have' to put anything in there either. Skull isn't meant for making money through donations, it is simply a way of having fun and scheduling invasions against the mainlanders. No one's forcing you into donating, keep the items if you wish. If you want to sell them, trade at the limited number of ports or go back to the mainlands. All I do is come here for the experience gains (which are beginning to dwindle as more people join), and that in turn pays for itself. Donations are just something to have fun with.
In short: Not happy with not being able to make a profit, leave and lower our times back to what they once were. No one's forcing you to donate; the loss comes at an insane boost in the amount of exp you can get there along with -fame; provides a semi-intelligent place to chat (once again, world chat has started to leak over); gp/-fame depends on how many invasions we win, that's a chance you pay. Loss can range from 2-3K to 17K+ as you stated.

| Well, what do you want to hear?
Let me quote from the original post:
"As you can see the gp returns do NOT equal the actual worth of the resources put into the stockpile but the faster experience gains are well worth a visit to skull for any one between total levels 50 to 200. Faster only because the average number of players working in each area is 5-10 or less, compared to the main islands this means between 4-10 seconds faster per action. Some times better, only time it comes close to being the same is normally during or the day after an invasion as many more players come to skull than actually remain beyond the first day or two." |

| There are 15 other players working here.
Just like to say to all those would be woodcutters out there that Bonewood is now at Remer times. This isn't the only place that's reaching those timers also, and it could be that as more join we may see more and more hit max times. In short, if you're thinking of joining for the timers, think again.

| At one point, there was a system so that an invasion on skull island would go until the monsters multiplied as well, but things have degraded. |
