Hi Timm
Hey, 2 things important & didn't see either mentioned:
1) Upgrades: What did you do, & when? [was forge your only one? etc]
2) QUESTS. Since the Greedy Bank comes frequently, pays to get MAX Guild pts & END the "Loan Quest" ASAP!
Did you do Med, or only Easy? When did you finish the "Loan Quest" [get 500+ pts 3 or more factions] ?
I've done the "fish run" also---a little harder since he restricted slots @ Man, but not impossible.
Workers gives free Worker's Outfit---very useful. (& worth 300 alone!)
