I have just read the update and the ill effects the economy will suffer should many players get 60k for free.

Out of curiosity my question is this. If you were given this 60K. What would you spend it on?

Myself i would probably waste it on stuff like lockpicks and playing 9 rings as I have played this game for some time and don't have to worry about buying skills and such.

So, what would you spend it on?

I would probably buy lockpicks or do what I do with all my money. Put it in storage and never touch it unless it's a must.

My gold is spent on armor and AFKing the rings.


EDIT:
The BIG question really is - would I even get that much money?
Hell no. I constantly remake my guys and at BEST they have completed things in NM. I'd prolly fill out a few NM books and that would be it. Still, it would be SUPERB since that would mean less grind for the Luxon title.

60k is hardly a sum of kings, so I would probably just stick it in storage or buy some ectos.

Elite Kurz armor for my ele, I guess. My Xunlai account usually goes like this: Xk -> XXk through farming, etc ->0k from buying new armor. So 60k is big for me, especially in my project for getting elite armor for all my characters. Still, it's not that hard to get; it'd just check one more thing off my list.

Well, I have a problem with gold, I have nothing do with it.

I play a lot PvP, so I have a lot of ZKeys, so I have too much golds to store, or sell, and I make some titles for free, and if I sell keys I will end with more money I don't need, because the armor of my characters are already the best (IMO).

Maybe I am not 100% happy with my weapons, but with all that keys, the weapons are slowing coming.

So, what to do with 60k? store it in my inventory until an idea comes to my mind.

(Anyway, they are not giving us 60K)

I would have absolutely no use for it. It would be dumped into storage until I decide that I want another another shiny weapon.

Give it to Selket. She runs a charity for those who have been abused by changing game mechanics.

That's what I do with all my money and I think you'd benefit from doing the same. It counts as an Ascalonian tax credit, too.

If I had only 60k I'd either speculate on a good trade in Kamadan which takes luck or patience or I'd buy 400 ToT bags for 150g each in Spamadan or LA which takes about 30 seconds to 2 minutes in the German districts, open all and sell the outcome here or on another board for reasonable prices while doing something else on GW, farming, quests etc.

Considering the Wiki droprate for ToTs:

Witch's Brew 10% of 400 = 40 x 130g = 5200g
Pumpkin Cookie 20% of 400 = 80 x 170g = 13600g
Ghost-in-the-Box 5% of 400 = 20 x 250g = 5000g
Squash Serum 10% of 400 = 40 x 250g = 10000g
Candy Apple 20% of 400 = 80 x 180g = 14400
Transmogrifier Tonic 5% of 400 = 20 x 480g = 9600g
Candy Corn 20% of 400 = 80 x 200g = 16000g
Vial of Absinthe 10% of 400 = 40 x 130g = 5200g

Overall 79000g (19k profit for 2 minutes of searching and another 5 minutes of reading PMs and transfering items) which I would then invest in new ToTs, rinse and repeat.

7 minutes = 19k profit or average 47.5g per ToT bag = 163.85k for one hour of work (not per hour! don't get your hopes up, you won't always sell all items in an hour). It might take a bit longer now or you might have to invest 160g/bag | 40k per stack since they don't drop anymore.

I opened and sold around 120000 bags since the event and made some nice cash.

After that you can buy whatever you want to trade with for more profit or whatever else you want (armors, weapons, titles etc).

There are more effective ways to trade for profit but I hate idling in Kamadan or LA. The time to get the bags is short enough for me not to get crazy and the rest can be done while playing the game.

Rt/

is that just 60k or 60k per character??? if its just 60k--thats not a spit in the bucket for the cash I am looking for to complete my characters--armor, skills, titles, etc.....with an elite set of armor (without headgear) costing that alone....gimme another 0 on the end and then we might be talking.


now if thats 60k per....I still have a few characters that are missing lots of skills---a few that want that elite armor, one that is going for leg skill hunter.....not to mention party animal and sweet tooth etc....

60k gone in seconds....60k per...would still spend it all (the money would go right back to the merchants, armorers and skill guys)....but it would take me a few minutes.

I would save it and never ever spend it since it could bring down teh economy

My list of stuff to do (on my main character) includes learning all available skills ,elite and non elite, so I'd prolly just buy a load of normal tomes with it

That would be about 1/5 of a tormented weapon right ?

I'd put just it in storage for futur use.
