Because Ultar is a scam artist.

Speaking of, how much does Ultar pay do buy things from us as we create things? Are they bought at market value?
I noticed that in the currency system that a plot of land can go for a gold knave, so if we were to make a plot of land, could we sell it?
Also, is a goat a beast of burden? I know that they are strong and relatively large animals, so I would think so, but I did not wish to assume.

Nay, that's not how that works - that's a broad range of price for tracts of land in the Empire - unless you'd like to make inquiries as to land ownership in the New World (and many would not thank you for drawing the Empire's attention to such things), land here largely belongs to whomever is living on it.
Aye, though perhaps not as strong as some, it'll do.

Ah, thank you for the information! I assumed the prices were based on land in the Empire, but I did want to make certain.
And it is good to know that a goat is just as good as any ox. Greta would be proud. Now in terms of starns (a basketful, no?), how many could a goat carry?
Now, let's assume that we were to go indigo harvesting. Would a scythe improve harvesting speed? Or a hoe, for that matter? I know it says their harvesting is a difficult task, but we wouldn't want to harm the precious plants.

Well, the real trick is working out how to fasten any items to poor Greta's back. You can't think of anything that would do for that, offhand. And yes - a basket will typically hold about a starn of material, and a man can haul about four starn, assuming he has enough containers.
The trouble with indigo is you're actually trying to get at the leaves, not the plant itself - the stalk proper is quite toxic, and it also has a long growth period, so you really don't want to be pulling at anything but the leaves. A nice pair of shears might have some impact? You're not really experienced enough with the plant to be sure.

I don't suppose making some rope to tie two baskets together and hanging them over Greta's back would work? Ah, I can always try - and make my own baskets. Bah! Ultar won't be getting any more money from me than can be helped.
And that is good to know. So even as a botanist we're not all that familiar with the plants here? We will still have a better chance of finding them though, correct?
Terribly sorry for all of the questions, but I am a plotter and your answers are immensely helpful.

I've been looking at the clay mechanics and have a few questions on that. It says that two starns of clay can be harvested a day, which makes sense, but then when it comes to making things like pots from clay, it says that it takes five pounds. How many pounds are in a starn? Is a bushel the same unit as a starn?
Also, cut stone. If someone had a pickaxe, they could create it, correct?

Aye, cut stone could be done with a pickaxe, though it might be faster with a proper chisel.

Technically I think I said forty pounds to a starn, but that's really neither here nor there. A person with the proper harness can carry up to four starns of goods, which is probably a bit generous, but represents a fully-laden laborer carrying a yoke or the like.
