What can I spend money on? I've got 2 characters that both have the green staff they want. I have enough money for Droknars armor. I only intend to make two characters.

What else is there to do with money, apart from give it away?

Look at some of the items and armour on guildwiki, see what tickles your fancy and buy 'em to make your character look gangster.

There are plenty of moneysinks in this game.

Buy your way to new titles with sweet tooth or drunkard, buy keys to open chests to get treasure hunter title (and wisdom titles)

Buy capture signets and get all the elites you can.

Or

Hoard it away and gloat over your tresure like a miser.

Whichever tickles yer fancy.

15K and FoW armor if you like getting armor with good looks. Otherwise, buying more weaps for versatility, keys for high-end chests, caping elites, maxing titles, helping guildies who are broke etc.

Buy every single skill in the game (includes buying Capture Signets and capping elites) on a single character that will probably use a maximum of ten of those skills for as long as you play that character.

Do you have Runes for your armor? Superior Vigor runes are super nice to have, for example...

Huh, no mention of mini-pets? They're a great money sink, especially the uber-rare ones.

Or if you're VERY rich, sit in ToA and buy yourself enough Ectos and shards for full Obsidian armor. If THAT doesn't make you broke, start getting minipets. Collect them, and then brag about it. Or outfit guildies with the same pet, something rare. And when in towns, take them all out. A circle of people from the same guild, all with a rare minipet (preferably the same one) would be a very nice screenie moment

When I start getting more money than I'm realistically going to use, I start to spend it on new armor sets. The bigger the wardrobe, the more prepared you'll be to fight in style (as opposed to just fighting)

Be a philanthropist... give it all to me!

Just kidding. Like previously mentioned, just find a hobby and sink all your gold into the hobby. There are lots of options in-game, just pick the one that appeals to you the most.

1. Title collection. Your character can be a Drunk cake-eating lucky Sunspear Castellan Survivor who has explored and protected every conceivable corner of the world.

2. Mini-Pets!!!! Gotta get 'em all! Some of these pets are pretty expensive.

3. Are you a clothes maven? Want your characters decked out only in the fanciest most expensive designer armors?

4. Become a power-trader and generate even more wealth. Use your current gold as seed money to build your trading empire.

5. Give it all away. No, seriously. Have some fun holding contests on the board or within your guild. Be creative.

Golds are better than Greens?!?

Well...

I've decided to get my Lady of Fiery Doom some Noble armor, since I think they look the best.

Then get two Bone Dragons, and use them as blockers.

And then steal from the rich and give to the poor.

And then bask in my glory

And get an ascended 15k Pyromancer for my Lord of Fiery Doom.

Golds are better then greens in the sense that they are customizeable, dyeable, and generally are worth much more.

It was only yesterday you were asking even how to make any money... Now you're ready for 15k armor?

Interesting. What's your secret?

The OP can afford 2 sets of Droks 1.5k armor. No big secret to farm 12k or so.

Save your money for skills.

My secret? I'm planning ahead.

Oh and for the Gold/Green thing, I see what you mean but I still like my Exuro's Will. The smiley face in the flames looks nice

As things stand right now, I've got about 30K, two Deatheater Longbows that I don't wan't and my brother has somehow managed to get himself into a debt of 107K to me, which I must say i no mean feat. I doubt he's going to pay me back by the end of the year though; he farmed for about 6 hours (it's the holidays for us ) and managed to get back 2K.

(I did have quite a bit of money before; I farmed the Mergoyles/Bog Skales outside the Gates of Kryta mission.)

My mistake... I read his other topic "How do I make money" yesterday, and then "How do I spend money, I don't need anything, so now I'm going to get 15k armor" thread today.

...I didn't know that he meant, "When I make enough money in the future THEN I will buy 15k."

Skills and sigs of capture will get quite expensive after a while, even for a Prophecies character. This is a worthy thing to spend money on.

For one thing, why do you only want 2 characters? Why don't you want to play every profession and experience all of GW?

Please for the love of god DO NOT get advice from people on this forum. The best advice given so far was check out guildwiki.

Things you need to know:
-Mini-pets are useless, and you can only have one out a time. They do absolutely nothing, don't waste your money until you're ROLLING IN IT.
-FoW armor is ugly for the most part. Yeah, I take that back: FoW armor is ugly period. If you've got a warrior, get them kurzick armor. It is by far, the best looking in the entire game. Not an opinion. A fact. Anybody who disagrees is probably.......wearing ugly armor.

Well, I suppose I should have more than 2 characters but I don't really see the point. I was going to make a ranger (hence the Deatheater Bows) but after the Storage Update and the fact that only now have I been exposed to the blinding truth that farming>running, the two reasons for my Slave of Fiery Doom have vanished. I'm not really into the death thing of Necromancers, I might as well use my Lady if I want to help someone as a Healing / Inspiration person, I don't like the adrenaline idea (I like having everything simple but planned, I don't like having to see if my skills are going to become availible or not and the whole thing about adrenaline looks simple but it's actually pretty complicated). As for the Ranger, I'm still pretty much against making a character that isn't going to be used for anything.

So I think I'm going to venture further into Factions with my characters, and generally help the poor.

LOL gg ^^

But I think most of us were laboring under the misapprehension this guy already has money. He doesn't. He's in his own words "planning for the future."

*****

I'm going to sound like a Republican here (which I'm not) but watch out for people finding out you're generous and taking advantage, because that only encourages them! lol

Like the person I saw in Kodash complaining how she "needs money for armor, she sold all of it to buy Vabbi* and now doesn't have anything." She gets advice, maybe some handouts from some poor naive fools, I whisper her to tell her to check out collector's armor in Cantha because I recognized her as a Canthan character.

I log into another district in Kodash later on... to see the poor beggar wearing 15k Luxon armor. Yeah, sold all your armor... lol. I called her on it and she called me a b****. lol

Anyway, watch out for these kinds of people as you make your way throwing coins out of your carriage at the peasant folk.




*Vabbi being the next most expensive armor to FoW, due to the materials needed to craft it.

gg or gdgd mean good good. and i would spend it on new armour, titles and skills and maybe if you really want to spend it up buy a minipet collection, however useless they may be. anyway in Lions Arch a couple of days ago i was advertising for the run to Sanctum Cay when i saw in the chat a beggar saying he only wanted 50k and it was a small amount of money. I gave him a PM and told him he was off his head if he thought he was going to get 50k. He called me a fat f*** and logged out. A fter i had come back from the Sanctum Cay run he was there again, spamming his begging. So i changed districts 3 times all to find people from the same guild begging for the same money. Is there some kind of lazy begger guild out there?!?! i so they give us guilswars players a bad name

Or, "good game." Meaning in this context, "well done, right on."

In PvP context, just a nice thing to say to the opposing team at the end of a match.
