Update History
--------------
1.0-November 1, 2007-Got the idea of writing up a guide to explain the
economic system that is warehouses. There's still things
to be done such as the Price and Fame rewards, but other
than that, this guide shoud answer most of the common
questions concerning warehouses.

2. What are Warehouses?
-----------------------
Warehouses are buildings located in the three capitas of Fairyland where
players can donate their hard-earned work products for coins and fame. And
by coins, I mean a lot more coins than you could earn from selling the items
to a storekeeper or a junk peddler. It's also one of the few ways to earn
fame when you've completed all of your quests.
Why am I making a guide for warehouses? Simple, the "new" English version of
Fairyland borrowed a similar economic system from the Taiwan version, where
items are barely worth anything if you sell them to an NPC, and thus, some
players find it very difficult to make money under the new system. One thing
hasn't changed much; warehouses. If anything, they got much better. All
shall be explained below.
-----------------------
3: Procurement Officers
-----------------------
You've probably seen the blue messages every now and then. "Procurement
Officer Dola: Now buying 2400 Bamboo" or something to that extent. You might
be wondering to yourself: who could possibly want that much bamboo? I'll
assure you, Dola is no player. He's actually one of the many Procurement
Officers you'll find in the warehouses. They are aso better as Buyers if you
are in the Dwarf kingdom. They are NPCs who will ask for various items from
time to time, and will buy them for more money than usual. They also reward
you fame based on the item you sell to them, giving you even more bang for
your buck.
Okay, so you've gathered up hundreds of that bamboo mentioned earier, but you
don't know where these Procurement Officers are located. Below are the
coordinates for each one, for each kingdom.

Many thanks to goddess for her NPC list.
You've probably noticed I mentioned character race next to each city. This
is because you can ONLY sell items to the kingdom your character is from. So
a human would be unable to sell his stuff to a Buyer in Goldburg, even if he
did request the items he had.
Once you've met up with one of the Officers, you will have the option to sell
your items in quantities of 20, 50, or 100. There are a few things to note
about the different quantities. Selling in smaller amounts of 20 makes less
money than if you sold in a quantity of 50 or 100. Even if you sold a stack
of 20 bamboo five times, you still won't get as much as if you sold 100
bamboo at once. Most of the time, you can actualy get a bit more fame selling
in quantities of 20 rather than 100, so if fame is what you're after, you
might want to test the quantities a bit to make sure...
Construction Officers are a bit different from Procurement Officers. They
serve pretty much the same purpose, but they are found near the palaces
rather than inside warehouses. They also ask for very high-leveled work
products as well. There's a catch though, there are only two of these guys
in each capital, and there's usually a lot of competition over who sells
their 1000 tungsten ores and such. Some players simply stockpile a product
they speciailize in gathering, and hold tons of it in their bank until the
time comes that is it in demand. The worst part is that it usually takes a
LONG time before they request the same items again, so don't miss your
chance when it comes up.
Which brings me to the last bit, when they stop buying. Procurement Officers
will stop buying a certain item when either A: They have gathered the
requested amount of said item or B: A certain about of time has passed and
decide to stop buying the item (a notice wil usually be given by the officer
when time is running out). Supposedy, the items they buy depend on the day
of the week, but it seems to be completely random, so long as no two officers
are buying the same item.
-----------------------------
3: Logistics Trading Officers
-----------------------------
Wow, that's a long name. For the sake of this guide, I'm just going to call
them "Trading Officers", I doubt the logistics part is necessary to know the
difference. Anyways, these are a new type of NPC you can find in every
warehouse. What's so special about them? Read on to find out.
Hand-ins
--------
Ever had one of those days where you mined tons of tungsten ore so that one
day you could sell it to the Construction Officer? Then you waited for a week
and finally, he requests it! You rush over to the bank and withdraw a
thousand ores that you mined up, but before you get to the officer, you find
out that some other power-worker beat you to him, and sold almost all of the
ore he requested. So much for that idea...
I'm pretty sure some "veteran workers" from the past versions of FL had
something like this happen.
Hand-ins sorta remedy the probem. You can now hand in items to a warehouse,
even when the Procurement Officers aren't buying what you've got. There are
many differences however with hand-ins.
-No fame is earned through hand-ins.
-The money you get from hand-ins depends on the current stock of the item you
are trying to hand in. The higher the stock, the less the item is worth.
-Selling in larger quantities does not make more money than selling in
smaller quantities. You'd get as much from selling 100 bamboo as you would
from selling 20 bamboo five times.
-You cannot sell any more items when the stock has reached it's maximum.
Purchase
--------
Another neat feature of trading officers is the ability to purchase items
that have been handed-in. This can be useful if the materias or items you
need aren't in the Marketplace. The prices for purchase, I believe, are
static, and do not change with stock.
The Stockpile
-------------
Whenever items are handed-in to a Trading Officer, a stockpile builds up. I'm
not certain if it's the same for every item, but for the lower-level products,
the maximum is 30000 for each item. Once the maximum is reached, you cannot
hand-in that item anymore until the stockpile drops. You can always ask the
trading officer for a list of each item's stock.
Stockpile decreases in one of two ways.
-Someone buys the stockpiled items from a Trading Officer
-It decays over time.
I'm not entirely exact on the decay factor, but it's there if nobody is
purchasing, as there's many items that most people usually don't buy.
The Race Factor
---------------
Unlike Procurement Officers, you don't have to buy or sell your items from a
Trading Officer in your city. However, there are downsides for dealing with
a Trading Officer that's not from your kingdom, namely that you earn less
money from turn-ins and have to pay more when you purchase. Take the below
example for instance. Keep in mind the turn-in prices were done when there
were only a couple thousand bamboo in the stockpiles.
When I (a dwarf) am in Goldburg...
I get 140 coins for turning in 20 bamboo
I pay 150 for 20 bamboo when I purchase
When I (a dwarf) am in Bluebird...
I get 130 coins for turning in 20 bamboo
I pay 160 for 20 bamboo when I purchase
And that's just bamboo, the difference is much more noticeable when you're
deaing with the higher-level items. Therefore, it is highly recommended that
you do your deals with the Trading Officer from your respective kingdom.

6: Frequently Asked Questions
-----------------------------
Q: Wait, I can buy ANYTHING from a Trading Officer?
A: Anything that can be produced by work skills EXCEPT equipments. But yeah,
you can buy every other work-produced item, which is great for when a
quest requires you to get some items that you lack the work skills for, or
maybe you need foods and pots. Provided they're in stock of course.
Q: What about cut gems created from Gemcutting?
A: Nope, you can't turn those in to any officers. Cutting crystals and
amethysts is no longer what is used to be...
Q: Buying gems?
A: No purchasing gems either.
