Id like to start a thread for people to list their devious schemes for nightfall.


Are you saving money? Dye? Are you saving any weapons? Howabout faction points? What- dealing with your treasure/account/ideas- makes your personal wait for Nightfall different than just "ooo gonna make a d/mo"?

This thread is for people who definately will be getting nightfall, and to post what their ideas are for preparations before they get the game.


Personally, Im holding on to a Zodiac Shield for my eventual paragon... and Im currently farming dyes in presearing for lack of a better use for my PvP slot at the moment... and lastly, as i have said before in many threads... im holding on to any rare shield i come across to sell to the newb paragons (not rip-off mind you)

Farming materials, when Factions came out, materials went sky high in price, i predict that will happen again.

You can say that i speculate the market for possible income.

Hoarding materials and cash - like always.
I want 250 of everything.

Weapons and items, not so much as everyone will want new Nightfall items.

I'm not doing anything in particular to prepare for Nightfall. I would normally start hording basic crafting materials, but with the expanded materials storage, I already have 250 of all the basics - I even have about 120 Steel Ingots.
So, about the only thing I'm doing is trying to hold off starting a Necro until I can see what look and armour will be available to start on in Nightfall. I say "trying to" because I'm running out of things to do in Factions.

I've already got 120k of cash saved up to spend on my future paragons armor and weapons . And not only that I've got like a zillion sup absorb runes, because the price will go higher upon nightfalls release.


Please let paragons 15k armor have wings....PLEASE....

Besides the 255 stacks of material vault, actually keeping new stuff to create a 2nd 255 stack (vs offloading to NPC Trader).

Getting all the map points done for my characters (at least 2 of the 3).

Trying to get the hard missions done with my characters before the vacum sucks alot of the players out of factions -> Nightfall.

Finish skill capping with my ele (7 left), sin (1 left). Monk not so worried about since she needs the most work map, skill, wise. Also keeping an eye on my unspent skill points and any nice xp quests I've overlooked (a bunch).

Keeping amber/jade instead of turning to profit on the expectation it will go up in price... it really can't get much lower.. and if it does oh well.

LOL, I'm just trying to get at least one character through Factions.

Then, I still have the dream of going back and finishing all the Prophecy quests with my second character.

Crap, so much do to do, maybe I shouldn't even get Nightfall until I finish...

nah, what's the fun in that?


PS Oh, yeah, and I'm actually thinking of names for my Nightfall characters already, too.

Im up in 784 Steel Ingots, and 1043 Elonian Leather squares. Steel ingots was seeling for ~600 in the begining of Factions, I've bought them for ~150 each.

The Elonian leather squares will probably be used in Dervish/Ranger armors.

Hoarding crafting mats, getting some more gold, finish capping primary elites, making sure everyone has all outposts opened for CH1 and 2, and keeping close to 10k kurzik or luxon faction readily available will occupy a good chunk of time.

I'm hoarding skill points. A lot of people think it's pointless, but I like to buy every skill for every profession in every campaign. Given the fact that there are 300 new skills, I've been working off the same distribution of skills Factions introduced (30 skill per profession=60 skills per character). Also working under the assumption that there wont be any skills for rit/sin. I just need 50 more points on my warrior which in theory takes no time, but in practice I'm a bit burnt out from already farming so much on my other characters. Also hoarding skill points gets me about 10k a day. I'll only need money for skills and 15k armor for my Dervish. I can already tell I wont like any of the new armor for other classes just by the motif of the game.

Going to sell all items/ectos i can and try and keep all my wealth in cash, seeing as the market for pure cash can never crash like items/ectos can.

Gonna stock as much mats as the new storage thing will fit, then just kick back and wait for it.

1) I hurry to finish the Factions storyline missions with my three primary characters. Along the way: cap elites, save skill points, gather titles, ... business as usual.
2) I'm saving most minor runes and materials, hoping to make some money. Prices for minor runes and materials increased a LOT when Factions kicked off and everybody created and equipped new characters.
3) I plan to make a primary ranger in Elona, finally, so I'm saving good ranger equipment on my mule.

Nothing, as I enjoy playing through each chapter at least once with a new character who receives no "help" from my other characters' bounty.

...OK, maybe a 2K "loan" to get out of Starter armour quickly.

There most likely won't be, but they will have to either adjust the current skillset or design the new professions with past professions in mind.

Because, believe you and me those old classes won't go away.

Gaile has already said that she also doubts there will be new skills for rits/sins; but that was just her personal opinion as a player

Yup Materials will be the key here I think.. unless of course they introduce new materials oO..

I suspect fur and tanned hide, alot of those armors look like they are cut straight from some poor furry animal

Im also hoarding Jadeite and Amber, with everyone paying attention to Nightfall, the amount of faction farming will drop, and so the price of jade and amber with increase

The price of it would only increase if the people farming went to Nightfall and the people buying stayed in Factions. I'd say it's likely about an equal amount of farmers/sellers will still frequent Cantha

Hopefully there will be 15k Luxon and 15k Kurzick armor for the new professions

Yeah...and who needs fur in the desert?

And if there is a market crash (ecto/shards), which I think is unlikely, I'll just wait it out.

Im trying to get 100 extra unused skill points on as many of my characters as possible so they can all get up to the next (final?) level of skill hunter.

That and a storage (creeping towards) full of crafting materials, gold, ecto, and black dye.

nothing yet. ill probably start a mad rush for gold in the last week before release like i did before factions, and start it with around 200-250k, mostly for unlocking skills. factions already gave me all the skill points i could ever need.
