Preparing for Nightfall? How so?

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)

You cant use warrior shield to paragon due different req. unless you make P/W with req tactics shield.

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.

Farming money! ...then spending the little I earn on something stupid like dyes or some guildevent...

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.

come on homeslice, you think i dont know that? its req 8 tactics with -5 dmg reduction. keep it on topic instead of cutting it apart ok?

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....

LOTS OF FARMING...... Money saving.....

I have an idea what they might use for armor Materials so I’m saving up thoes items as best I can.

Exactly what I did before Factions:

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Im saving.. 40k i gathered.

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.

i have one ready and waiting that will get one of 2 reactions depending on the person seeing it

*oh that is so cute*

*im going to vomit *

snicker..........

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.

I'm saving up as much money as possible...if the economy takes a nose dive like it did when factions came out, i might be able to buy ectos fir 4-5k each.

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.

Saving my money 110 k plus jade and amber (for selling).

Also I am saving up my crafting supplies.

Actually this is what I did for factions also.

Im definetly saving materials and mabey a few runes of minor,major vigor.

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.
