2 things for me. First was finishing my 15k armor for my Ranger. But, I made my own dye for it, and that took a while. Quite satisfying after everything was said and done.

After that, buying a 3/-1 Vampiric Sword mod for a lucky UW chest drop for a measly 6.5k. It has become one of my favorite toys, now that I've gotten used to it.

Hiya!,

Close to 100k (so far) on the couple people that are farming pre-sear "Hunters Ale" for me. I'd hate to add up what I spent on ales, and holiday drinks. Well on my way to being one of Tyrias' best stocked bars!...lol

I bought Victo's Blade for like 5k back in the days when it was worth like a 120k. I laughed. And laughed. And laughed even harder.

My first max damage fire wand. I think I paid 1500 for it, +4 Energy >50%. This was before I could get the collectors stuff I now use.

All the +5 defense mods I bought for 500-1000. I love my +10 Defensive Staves of Defense, and feel deprived when I have to wield a mere +8 for another attribute.

But the prize may be the -50 HP item I bought for 50 gold over merchant price. Given that the guy was a few seconds away from merchanting it at the time of the deal, I don't even have a conscience problem with it.

If as many people had FoW as people have said in this topic, I have a feeling I'd see it around alot more.

My best money ever spent...

Helping my friend get ran all the way to droks and get droks armor. He's a level 4 ranger.
however, no matter how much money I offer I can't get anyone to help him charm a level 15 elder wolf.

It would have to be a combo of my male 15k enchanters armor and my IDS. I'm dead sexy and deadly!

And Cade, I'll help you (or your friend) for free. Send me a pm, and I'll see if I can remember exactly where it was... don't remember it being difficult, though.

Actually, the best gold I ever spent was last night. I spent 3k on three UnderWorld runs teaching someone how to 55 in UW. We did about 6 runs total [he paid for the other ones] and completed 1 full smite run, and only one ecto dropped, so I gave it to him. Needless to say he was overjoyed. I was happy with myself, since so few people have the patience to help newer players. (:

Best money ever spent was 50 gold for storage room.

Or 50k for a purple max dmg crystalline. I almost felt bad ripping that guy off, but that's the price he gave me, so I'm happy ^^
