I'm considering building a private base for enhancement and salvage storage. So I've got a few questions.

1. How many of each of the storage table can be placed in a base?

2. How much approximately would a base of the size to max out storage capacity cost?

3. Will it be neccessary to get two of the really big generators to power the base?

4. How many of you would think it would be funny to flood a server's hero side market full of rare enhancements and salvage. (psst - This is what I'm planning to do)


Work in progress no more. I have decided that I'm going to put my worst spelling errors here. Triage Bacon, Had this baster idea, TLR

And hopefully I have some answers

Depends on the size and type of the base plot.
Now it isn't actually that simple though, it doesn't say you can only have X number of Storage Units in a base, it has to do with the amount of Workshops/other storage usable rooms you can have.
All hidden bases have the same number:
Battery 1
Control 1
Dimensional Anchor 6
Energy 1
Entrance 1
Workshop 6
But with the other base plots you get more.
But the real issue is Prestige.

some near 8mil Prestige, if even that.

Not in the least. To run a storage base would only take two of the 2nd teir power or one of the 3rd. You'll never need the Raid Power Supply.

I wouldn't because that may kill the Market even worse. I live off that.

I wouldn't worry to much its going to take quite a while for me to get the full base built and even longer to fill it. I just like long term goals. It may be that by the time I'm done I'll be wanting to move on to the next virtual world full of shiny stuff and if thats the case then it will be an extremely epic version of "you can haz my stuffs". I dont know if this would be considered griefing but I just picture making an announcement on the triumph and market forums in a few months similar to this, "My base's storage is near capacity so its time to sell off some of my inventory. Sometime this week I am going to place 60 LoTGs on the market for 10 mil a piece. " The reaction to that alone would be worth it.

Disclaimer: The above example announcement was just that an example. I do not currently have any plans to do so nor do I have that many LoTGs yet...

Any base plot is limited to a total of 18 storage units which include: enhanc. tables, storage racks, inspie bins, and personal vault.

The 2x2 workshop and the 2x3 workshop can each hold 9 storage units. According to PlasmaStreams list of costs and MadScientist's Spreadsheet the 2x2 = 100k prstg., and the 2x3 = 400K.

Not for storage. The workshop rooms do not require power. If you want to include your crafting tables, that's another story. Again, check out Mad's Spreadsheet for details (the spreadsheet has links to different pages at the top of it).

You do realize that you can't flood a "server's" heroside market with anything, right?

All the servers are linked on either the heroside or the villainside. To flood one server's market, you would actually be flooding all the blueside markets at the same time - quite an ambitious goal. I wish you luck with it, but I'm not holding my breath that any single player can do that. There have been experiments run by some of the ebil marketeers that seem to indicate it really can't be done to any extent to have much effect on the entire blueside market.

I am interested in your motivation in doing so, anyway.

Also - since you can only hold a max of 18 storage items, that's only about a max of 1800 rares (any combination of enhancements and/or salvage) you can hold in a base.

Those storage items can be stacked/crammed into 2 2X2 rooms (if you don't care how ugly that looks) BTW, so Impish Kat's projected cost is a little bit high since you don't really need the 4X3 room. Just stack the tables one on top of the others with floors lowered and ceilings raised.

Haha. Good luck with that. Unless all plan on doing is farming and/or spending billions of Inf, you won't have much luck with it, considering how little a base can actually hold compared to how much there is on the market.

And FYI, the markets are cross-server. All Heroes access the same market info on all servers. The same applies to Villains.

It sounds like something one person can't do.
But look at what that one bAEby did with the Hamidion Goo.

I'll admit I was being a little silly with the flood the market comment. In order to do that supply would have to be far greater than demand and thats never gonna happen. I did not know about the markets all being connected. Thank you for the info everyone.

Well, LoTG's are reasonable, on the market. I have many stored in Enhancement tables in my base. Sadly I use them on my toons. If you are looking to make a fortune, then you should seek advice at the Market Forum.

The Marketeers will be happy to add you to their numbers.

Not looking to make a fortune. Technically I'll be attempting to gather a fortune in enhancements and salvage.
