What do you do with most of your gold?

Spent it on Fissure when back when ectos were expensive, spent about 3 mil on my Q8 15^50 bow collection (so much for HoM), bought high end minis, some towards 29 titles...and now, it's for lockpicks to get the 30th/"God..." title.

Save it usually till I want FoW armor. Trying to save it a bit more this time though.

I spend it. Rarely do I ever have more than 40-50K in my bank at any given time. Other than buying a piece of armor I desire, there's not much else I'm ever in the hunt for. If it's a certain weapon, I'll just go hunt it myself. Saves me money and typically during farming, or chest hunting, I'll pick up some great drops along the way.

I don't want this to sound like an /epeen post.....but there's a point to this.

Like some others, I made it big farming greens just when SF was released, fairly quickly maxed my inv with 1000 plats and all my chars with 90+ plats. Since then I just buy ectos (at around 300 now) with no plans to use them for fow armors -- I got a set for my male para and female necro, and for all the other classes, I found other sets I prefer.

Since I can't compete with the panda/greased lightning/etc buyers who buy and sell in the thousands of ectos, there's not really much to use them for.

I've maxed sugar title and don't really feel like grinding out 10000 minutes on drunk, so I won't buy either of those.

I don't pvp so r8 items don't interest me.

(in other words I took the first option in the poll)

Suggestions on constructive things to do with money, other than giving it to people who post here wanting it for free?

ive run out of things to buy.. so i guess i stick it in storage and just look at it.

have fow armor on 2 chars (war and necro.. i really dont like the others) multiple 15k armors on all my other 8 toons... as well as multiple max weapons for each class.

I dont generally go after the Fotw weapon skins, like voltaic spears, Silverwing recurve bows, etc etc... the skin just doesnt warrent the price in my books.

So, lately ive been giving money away to my guildmates who are in need of items or what have you.. really dont mind helping them out, as i really have no more use for money..

i just buy 15k armors

right now i'm just saving up gold for something... big... i don't know what but it will be good once i get it..

I usually save until I hit a reasonably high amount, say 300k, and then spend most of it in one fell swoop, but I like to leave 100k at a minimum, in case something comes along. Every now and then, the thought to save up for some FoW comes along, but I usually brush it off.

well I allways try and not spend on FoW...and every time I spend money on FoW..

Buying armors, funny when people from eF say they are going to buy fow sets, they saved up to get into that guild.

I buy stuff when I can. Lockpicks, armor, weapon skins I like... wondering what I could buy with the money I have right now. Hmmm.

I have a storage account for gold (and some ectos). I buy more character slots to hold more gold I don't have anything I want to spend it on that I don't already have. I'm fruuuuugal.

I like to spend my gold on presents for my friends :3

Where is this pudding you speak of, I want some.

on topic: I do everything on that poll. But recently all my gold has just been collecting dust in my storage.

lol...its also funny when people sound like a jackass cause their ignorant of what they talk about

Took the words out of my mouth


I only buy the armors and weapons I personally like, because I don't play the game for epeen. I don't title grind because it's repetitious and boring to me, and I don't really care about the HoM. All of my heroes are fully decked out with gear and runes, I've capped and unlocked every skill in the game. I have everything I could want or need, even a mule to hold all the extra armor sets my characters aren't wearing at the moment. I have all the weapons I want/need across all my toons. Nothing really for me to blow money on now.

So yeah, what have I been doing with my money? Buying gifts for my gaming pals/guildies and buying stuff as prizes for guild contests. Just collecting dust otherwise!

Consumables and passage scrolls.

But that doesn't even put you anywhere near 1mil =p

But I use my money to buy random things... But always make sure I'm at least over 300k in-case I have friends coming back to the game that need the money.

Main part of the reason for my thriftiness is that there just isn't a lot of stuff in the game to spend my money on.

Sure, there's armor sets but to be honest, I generally find the standard sets more attractive than the elite sets in almost all cases, so I've only bought 2, maybe 3, 15k sets.

And as for getting multiple sets for the same char, yes, I have I think 4 chars that have 3 sets of armor but with space at a premium as it is, I realized it's kind of foolish to use 1 bag just to hold 2 sets of armor. One reason I stopped picking up white and blue drops is that most of my toons generally have only 10-12 empty slots available, so I have be selective about what I pick up.

I've prob spent 600-800k over the course of playing but that might actually be closer to upwards of a million. Who can really keep track?
