Last week I was playing a bit with the newly opened market in the game. In the run up to the market I had collected a lot of beers and ingredient cards which I tried to sell for twice the price. Except for a few sales this idea didn’t work out very well.
So a change of plans…
Since the update last week the amount of cards you could win in the contest was raised enormously. The top 3 wins 60, 35 or 23 cards.
So I decided to brew as many beers as possible from the ingredients and sell them to get higher in the wholesaler ranking.

After a few days of brewing and buying ingredients and cheap beer on the market (that was the reason Hive account@anli ) I managed to gather a lot of beers.
Today, the last day of the wholesaler event I checked how I was doing.

I was in spot 140 with just 30 points, but I had 34 beers to sell.

12 x 10 points (normal) 12 x 20 points (good) 10 x 30 points (outstanding)
That would add 660 points giving me a total op 690 points; 40 behind Hive account@donald.porter

Hive account@oscarps was far ahead, but 40 points is possible, so I decided to buy some more normal beers on the market.
I bought 10 beers for normal beers for max 5.7 (< 57 CBM)
These 10 beers sell for 4,65 CBM each which makes 46,5 CBM. This is a 10,5 CMB investment.

If this will make me number 2 in the wholesaler ranking I will win 12 more cards. That’s under 1 CBM for each card…
Talking about tactics!

All these purchases did have an effect on the amount of CBM which got lower and lower, but I had many beers to sell and hopefully a lot of new cards.

My buy action gave me a total of 44 beers to sell.
I already had 30 points.

• 22 x 10 points (normal)
• 12 x 20 points (good)
• 10 x 30 points (outstanding)

This resulted in 790! After finishing and selling one other normal beer I had a 70 point gap.

Drum roll

What!? I finished 3rd? I checked the game logs in the discord if Hive account@donald.porter maybe sold some other beers, but he sold just one.
I contacted Hive account@rollie1212 to see what went wrong and he showed me someone outsmarted me.
That someone (Hive account@abachon) sold even more beer then me and ended up second.
Well played and congratulations to all the prize winners!

The prize

Despite the disappointment of not finishing second I did receive my 23 cards ending up on the third place.

I could add 23 ingredient cards to my backpack. Apart from the wholesaler event I will probably also end in the top 25 of the “Top manufacturer event”. I wasn’t aiming for that one, but it was a nice side-effect and another 5 extra cards.

My total amount of CBM is almost 900 after all these sales, so almost is enough for a payout (1000 CBM)
But I think I’d better save it for future updates.

Conclusion

The higher prices make the events very interesting. You now have to determine a tactic to win in an event. The market makes the game even more dynamic since it can help you in the contests as well. There are more ways to more CBM. These latest updates surely made the game a lot more fun.
Thanks Hive account@rollie1212 and team for all the work!
