Looking closer at Resources

[Lordwafik]

From playonline : "(3) Resources: Numerical representation of an area’s resources. This rating is influenced by such factors as the number of temporary items available."

First thing I tested is if I could buy things from another nation, answer was a no, I didn't get the dialogue to buy it when trying from Sandy or Windy NPC.

Second thing is how exactly the number for Resources affects campaign.

It seems like if your country has resources, you will be offered temporary items. If your country's resources in the region are 0, you won't be offered a thing.

So far all the "30 points" packages use up 1 resource per item. As you can see in the Passhow screenshot , it drops down two points, this is after I buy 2 temp items (Lethe Water and High Potion +3).

In rolanberry, I bought 3 items, RR/Lethe/Hi Pot. Dropped by 3.

I'm not 100% sure how they fill. I think it's a combination of filling up the QM's items, and then escorting a unit from the Garrison to the outpost - but I'm not certain on this and don't have any op credits to test it out.

Crimson Domino apparently gives 1 Resource. I haven't done it personally, but that's what I've heard.

Vangaurd-X I also gives one resource to the area.

Resources under a Nation's control also seems to 'regen' Resources.
I used the last Resource from a Fort Karugo-Narugo Making it 0/150.

I went to Jugner next; Then when Karugo-Narugo came back they had 12 Resources. So unless I missed 12 People doing Op Missions to Karugo-Narugo; It seems to have a natural regen.

Ah, that's what I thought, but more so that more resources unlocked higher cost/power meds. I guess that'll be decided by rank(or headhunting?). Either case, those RR scrolls when I go BLM/RDM is costing my nation, ;;.

I wouldn't say so, unless there are other negative effects.
Either you use the items to protect the fort or someone else (or nobody else) does.

some questions how can you raise your nations "Reconnaissance" sandy is sitting at lvl 1 while bastok and windy have lvl 7 or 8, yet we have the most zones under our control.

on an other question how can I raise sandis influence in other nations zones that are not catpured yet and still under beastman control (hin Crawlers nest, garlaige citadel). me and a friend did alot of campagin in this zones, we are both sandorian and basicly the only players in there, but our nations influence did raise a bit...

iirc currently you can't take over another nations zones, doesn't matter if they're captured or not.

in regards to recon i think you have to give the suggestion to focus on recon to the npc at your home nation, and hope a lot of others do it too so your nation focuses on that next tally

I believe this is correct. I did it the other day and W.saruta's resources went from 0 to 1.
