    Alright, I am going to keep this as simple as possible. Sand trade should be made legal. Why? because you can make sand converters that turn it into red sand and vise versa. This is something that I see being use more and more. It just makes it a little bit of a struggle for some people, but trading sand can and will be done.
    3 sand is what you get from a new island. If lets say we added a cool-down to the /newisland replace. It would be quite non-efficient. You can see more about my idea for the cool down for /newisland replace here:
    Add a cooldown to /newisland and/or /newisland replace | Skyblock Forums
    Give me your feedback and what not, and I am aware there is possibly another thread out there like this, but I can't find it, any-who thanks for taking the time and reading!

    Think about it, red sand trade is legal. Converting the sand and vise versa is as well. Players have already traded sand using the sand converter. I personally feel that it should just be made legal, just because the converting and trading red sand are both legal.

    Genius. Now we wait for cyp to see this. As for new island cooldown that could also make dirt and lava trade legal

    So much support, even if people island farm 3 sand isn't that much. I hate how skygods get only 5 sand in their kit so I often need sand for glass etc.

    There are things on new islands you get even less than three of and they are still illegal to trade, buckets for instance. But I see that, since this illegal item can be converted into a legal one just for the purpose of being traded, and then converted back, keeping it illegal doesn't make much sense, indeed.

    BTW someone will have to link to a tutorial how to make this converter, that would also be a support for this suggestion :)

    That being said, you have my support.

    EDIT spelling

    There are other threads out there making similar suggestions.
    Just remove sand from new islands! if its tradeable new players just have to vote once to be able to buy it.

    Support. I don't get why sand trade is illegal and red sand trade is legal when they're the same thing :p!

    Support. Although both should be illegal, or both should be legal.

    Pretty much all new island materials could potentially be legal to trade under this logic. Though farming islands is still possible with a lot of alts.
    If the cooldown is significant I will support this.

    Even if the cooldown was 24 hours, an alt could be used to farm an island a day so that's a lot of dirt.
    Dirt will always be illegal.
    And 24 hours is way too long. Greenies are always needing to restart because they stuffed up their cobble generator. Although Drogo may have solved this problem with his Cheap Cheap stone shop!! /visit Drogo
    Little plug there for Drogo. :)

    I used the base logic, of course dirt will stay illegal to trade due to how many you get per island.
    The cool down will be significant. I think maybe between 2-12 hours is fair. But again this is if and when the cooldown plugin is implemented.
    Those who stuff up their generator need obsidian, not stone. So Drogo needs cheap cheap obsidian.

    Drogo did consider selling cheap cheap obsidian but then people might use it expand their stone gens which would be bad for business.

    As we all know it is to prevent island farming. But you only get 3 if you start/ restart your island, wich is not much.
    I don't know if I will support. I do think there must be a different way for getting sand for greenies.

    Support if a cooldown is added. Yeah, I don't understand why donor 100s get 15 sand and skygods only get 5.
