Certain trade goods seem to be more than a bit out of balance, at least on Winyandor. Silk used to be the one I noticed the most with both neighbors and fellowship members placing trades asking for silk that can be posted for days without being filled. Fellowship members who produce silk take as many trades as they can, but the demand appears to far exceed the supply. This trend is consistent no matter what the tournament of the week is. The imbalance that highlights the direness of the situation is Alloy Shrooms. On most days there are 30 to 40 PAGES of trades asking for Shrooms while searches for trades offering Shrooms might get 2 or 3 results a day, most often there are none. Most days I need to buy from the wholesaler at least twice a day, once using coins and once using supplies, so a bit of the silk shortage can be somewhat offset. The wholesaler is not such a good option for sentient goods though, especially when you consider how precious divine seeds can be. The few trades offering Shrooms that I have found have been for tier 2 sentient goods (ink or obsidian). I have started producing and trading more tier 2 sentient goods than I need simply to have quantities available just in case there are any Shrooms offered. What are some other good strategies to deal with prolonged, extreme shortages of trade goods? I am so discouraged and frustrated that it takes the fun out of playing Elvenar.
