What to do with my little money?

hi there, thank you in advance for reading this

I got a little problem that I would like some help for,

as UWSC got very popular, I decided to finish eotn on my sin ( which actually took me pretty long, lol ) until i got the pve-only skills. done that, learnt all the roles, and went UWSC.

now, I got about 70 ectos, after 1 week (don't play much, and many PUG's fail) and I saw this guy buying ectos at 4.2k each, since the ecto prices were dropping, I decided to sell them. now I got like 400k

my question, what should I do with it?

I originally decided to go and make a GWAMM mesmer, so I got it through kaineng centre, and on to eotn, where I went Keg-farming with my mesmer, worked pretty well and after a few tries (lag, human errors ._. ) I got my survivor r3. now I suddenly discovered, that I like my ranger better than my mesmer.

so I decided to get FoW armor for my mesmer, but since I liked my Ranger better, I decided to get it for my Ranger.

now, I've calculated it. at a shard price of 2.3 I would need:

75k for the crafter
230k for the shards
430k for the ectos.

so let's say I already got the ectos in cash.

then I'd need (75+230= 305. 305 : 4.1 (let's say I won't be lucky to sell high) = 74.390.... rounded off 75 ectos. )

but

I DO NOT FIND UWSC FUN. so I quit 2 days ago, in order to play some AB, RA etc.

now I was observing some games lately, and I saw this ranger with a tormented recurve bow. I decided tormented bows are hawt. so I checked prices, and discovered that they are around
100k+25-35.
which would slow my obsidian armor down.


now, What would you do? get on with farming till I got my obsidian armor, or just buy a tormented bow, and have fun.

now, I know there will be alot of people in this thread saying:

"stop farming, start enjoying the game, you shouldn't be grinding if you don't want to in your free time".

but everyone knows that armors say something, and in addition, they look cool. ( or some of them )

please keep in mind that I wanna do the least assassin-farming (I don't mind trapping, trapping stuff is fun :P, but trapping takes long, and is not possible in HM on your own - I know it is, but's it's risky.. )

WWYD?
what would you do?

thank you,

Alright, I'll be the first to say the obvious: it's your own choice. You can do whatever you want with the money, why do you care about what other people think?

God forbid he asks for recommendations from others.

no I'm just asking what you would do, what do you think about armors, anyways? or maybe something like, I wouldn't do such thing get a zodiac bow instead. etc, etc.

1. play the game normally and SAVE UP
2. bet in the XTH - sell the keys
3. see which guy you like better in 3 months
4. buy something for him

1. play the game normally and SAVE UP
2. bet in the XTH - sell the keys

1. no offense but how do you get around 800k from playing regularly, with heroes and henchmen.
2. who doesn't do that nowadays?

Why do you need 800k? I thought you already had 70e. And if you are going for ranger or mesmer fow - there is no headgear. AND if you get mesmer FoW - the gloves can wait a bit also.
So I am guessing you need some 400k-ish?

If you pay more attention at the XTH-thingy - you could be making around 100k per month. VQ could actually push you further.
And like I said - do that for 3 months. That gives you time to decide what guy you like best and gives you time to save up.




Edit and off:
Hey babez!
I see you!

just do what i done and buy 8 stacks of z keys...then use them all and decide u fancy fow armour and start saving again. u dont have to farm to make cash..its just easier and faster.

keep playing with your characters to decide who you truly want to focus on, by doing some HM etc. By the time that comes around that you're 100% certain, you'll likely have 800k, at which point you can decide if its worth it to make a 200k dent for a torm weapon :P

Guild Wars is so broken. - I don't care for being reported for a one liner, was worth it. Damn.

For the people who don't understand why GW is broken. A guy (who also registered for Guru only 2 months ago) was farming for only a week and he has a boat load of money. Sooo broken. *Gone speccing my sin so I could break the game and complain about how I have to much money after a week too*

Armor does say something. Usually it says "Hi there! My taste is all in my mouth, as you can tell from the eye-searing armor combo I'm wearing."

try powertrading and if u are lucky u can make 800k very quickly.. and u can buy w/e u want..

LOL put up with UWSC for another week or two and get all the FoW and the bow you want, then go play whatever.

Or just play whatever you find fun in the first place and don't worry about conspicuous consumption displays.

Do both. Hardly takes time to make money. And, I am positive that you'd end up getting them both and more. Or, you'll quit the game and play something else. WoW?!

Good Luck.

if you like PvP the rewards for the zquests can get you a lot of faction quickly for some money. Its not terribly fast but i have made ~25 zkeys in a week of just picking up the RA, TA, and HA quests.

anyways i like it because its free money for having fun

Go do that again. Don't like it? Fine, don't go wanting to buy the new shiny toys then. Otherwise, suck it up and suffer for a "week."

think I'll do this one thank you all for replying, all replies have been read and considered.

Yeah, it's sad how someone with zero experience or skill (I will never, ever call Assassin a profession requiring even the tiniest amount of skill) manages to get more in a week than many people in a year.*

* - Ignoring the fact that he doesn't have 7 PvE characters to equip and buy armors for... Still it just proves how broken PvE is.

gogo XTH!

Well, upier just won the thread, so we should probably stop posting in it.

I think you have ADD

If you don't know what to spend it on then anything you do will be a waste since you didn't want it enough in the first place to even consider it on your own.

Save for the obsidian armor on whatever toon you decide you like best. I can honestly say that its fairly easy to make 100k + Xe just by casual farming(I farm Kinya Province every once in a blue moon lol) or even just doing dungeons when it strikes your fancy. Having bought two sets of Vabbian armor and a Torm Shield I've learned that it just gets easier to make money. Don't listen to these haters. They're just mad cuz you made your money on a Sin and alot of people have this insane predjudice against Sins because of SF farming.

Also, trapping hasn't been worth it since the EW nerf. I miss solo trapping UW. *sigh*

Ok so heres how you can get the armor.... get a job in RL and make some money. Than buy multiple accounts and "farm" zaishen keys via the Xunulai Tourny House.

Thats the least stressful and easiest thing to do. If you can't do that than raptor or glacial stone farm. But, just an fyi, raptor farms usually involve warriors (the fastest one anyways) and glacial involves permasin (keg farming though would work, but sins do it faster)

I don't really understand why you are trying to rush for it. It seems like you keep spending money and than hate making it back. Why not take things slower...

You could also consider Nightfall treasure chest farming (for your new chars). Or powertrading.

no, they really dont - obsidians maybe say that you just came from cloning factory
i would go for that bow (also, its max 100+15/+20)
