Ahhhh...I've posted about this in several topics before.

With the massive flooding of greens into the marketplace, there are very few weapons that are worth spending tons of money on. Ditto for weapon upgrades.

So, once you get your 15K armors, dyed black and full of runes, the natural choice is FoW armor.

The only other thing you could do is go Pokemon and try to get one of each of the minipets.

BTW - as I expected, the ecto price is steadily rising (it's been holding steady at 8.5K for the past few days). I would expect that 10K is a reasonable target in the next few weeks as more people like the OP run into the same situation.

[QUOTE=Zinger314] I have 270k, which is probably more than atleast 90% of the users.[QUOTE]

Ill say right now that this thread seems more of a bragging topic than anything else....BUT:

270k IS probably more than what MOST USERS WHO DONT SPEND A MEASILY LITTLE $5 BUYING 500k.

lol you see OP say you got a lil bit of cash and ppl say you ebay..they dont think 1 fOW trip might drop u a got 15^50 choas thats any easy 250k and 27k is farmable in an hour..

like i said before poor ppl moan because they cant have the cash..hence the flames and why this should be closed

save your money for chap3 (will it be worth it? factions was far from great) or waste it on goldsink title.

Just save it and max storage. Or buy some cheap mats so when Chp 3 comes out u can sell them all for profit. OMG your rich get a life . Why do people always post garbage like that. Think about it you could win halls once and get a drop that nobody in PVE could ever get now. Sell it for a huge amount and then power trade. I hate power trades though. You could work on title, buy crazy pets to follow you, or make another toon and get him some nice items.

Id go with save it and max storage.

There are a lot of people with that kind of cash (250k and up) in GW as it can be done in a couple of days really.

I'm pretty sure Anet is aware of the situation and will come up with stuff in Ch 3 or 4 for people to spend $$ on. So save your money until then. Don't fret about having nothing to spend it on right now. How do you think the millionaires who have FOW armor and crystalline swords feel?

In the meantime, how about setting off fireworks in HzH since we own it now

My goal is to have all skills unlocked for all the secondary professions on my Rit (even though they'll be unlocked on other chars), so that I can make every build possible. That will cost me a pretty penny.

When people ask for a tank I'll join and then and show off my 15 ^ 50 weapon collection from crystalline swords to expensive shields. Then I'll cast a weapon spell on myself in Emissary's armor (+ 15 AL), run into a mob while holding Tranquil Was Tanasen (+26 AL) with Armor of Unfeeling (- 10 base dmg reduction) and Explosive Growth (for damage) and then starts casting spirits. I'll throw on Dolyak Sig and Watch Yourself when the going gets tough. Pwnage like that doesn't come cheap.

Oh, please. There are tons of things you can do with your money. Ghia-whatever staff is a green. Get perfect golds. How about a 10/10 ghostly staff or two? That's gonna run you a lot more than 200k. Or just sit on it and save up for a set of FoW armor...

Or...



wait for it...

I've spent over 1 mil on caster stuff, around 1.5 mil now, I'd think. Yea, there're definitely expensive caster stuff you can buy...

the nice thing about having money spare, is if you decide you NEED soemthing one day, you can just pull it out the vault and pay for it.. i have a wack of cash.. i tend to hard really.. but i love just been able to buy new armor when the fancy takes me or whatever.. having a load of money lets me focus more on my gaming.. rather than worrying about how im going to afford that cool armor\sword\{fill in the blank} etc..

Start saving all of your money and stockpiling rare materials for Chapter 3. I don't have problems finding groups with my Warrior, Ele, or my Ranger. I've easily spent over 700k for those 3 characters since factions came out.

My N/W has req7 and 8 weapons so she can actually go into the arenas
My N/R has the finest bows in the game
My N/A is just beginning to get lethal and has the best Daggers money can buy ......it goes on per prof.....

You really should experiment more with your Necros 2nd prof and remember that with Soul Reaping as your primary Attribute you're spoilt.

And as to where to spend your money... go find a "cheap" req7 max damage 15^50 sword THEN complain about too much money

After selling the Totem Axe for ridicolous amount and getting on the enemy vs. enemy farming bandwagon, I now have quite the sum. I have 270k, which is probably more than atleast 90% of the users.

However, I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to purchase.

The problem lies in the fact that there's nothing substantial (for primary casters) to buy inbetween 15k Armor and FoW Armor. A full set of 15k costs 75k (or 155k if you involve Luxon/Kurzick Armor) while a full set of FoW costs more than 1 million+ gold. That's quite a big gap.

In-between this gap, there are weapons with special skins that can be purchased. Perfect Celestial, Perfect Zodiac, Kanaxi's, and Urgoz's weapons are good examples. However, only Warriors, Rangers, and Assassins are overly dependant on weapons. So how do casters spend huge chunks of moola?

My main, as you see from the avatar, is a Necromancer. She sports 15k Canthan and has perfect Weapons for all 3 Necromancer Attributes (even that overpriced Ghial's Staff.)

My other main, a Ritualist, sports 15k Kurzick, dyed completely black, and also has a set of perfect weapons (fortunately, that's very easy, since Restoration and Channeling rely on Ashes. )

Another one of my characters, my Monk, sports 15k Saintly, dyed black, and also has a set of perfect weapons.

My Elementalist (which sports 15k Pyromancer), my Warrior, and my Ranger have been put on hold indefinately since no one seems to want them in groups.



Now you see the problem. All my central chaarcters already have 15k Armors (with expensive dyes!) and perfect weapons. There's nothing for me to buy.

What exactly do casters do with large sums of money?
270k is definitely not the top 90 percentile. Possibly close. If you really wanna waste money get golds. Greens are perfect but they're boring in my opinion (and yes, I used to love them). Get some Zodiac and Celestial weapons. A Dragon's Breath Wand for your Elementalist would be pretty damn sexy. I can understand it being harder to find a group with a Ranger but wow, your tank must suck if you can't get a group. Offense intended. Warriors are more fun anyways. I've spent millions on my tank just because there's so many more options. And it is possible to buy new sets of armor. 15k Pyro armor from Prophecies isn't exactly the most glorious armor. As for monk, I've never been satisfied with any of it.

I give up. No matter how much I want to spend, I keep getting more.



My problem with Warriors is that they don't stand out. Every Warrior looks the same. They all have that damn 15k Kurzick or FoW. Most of them have 0 points in Tactics. They merely deal weak amounts of damage. Atleast with my Necromancer or Ritualist, people know who I am and what I do.

And I discriminate horribly against W/Mo, since most have no clue how to play. I do not want to be a hypocrite.

But if a Warrior is the best way to handle this money sink...so be it.

Collect mass ammounts of worthless crafting materials.

I am using mine to build a space ship to the moon so I can go to ebay and dye my helmets.

No, not all warriors look alike. Buy the awesome 15k luxon armor so you can look like a crab. Not many people have the guts to wear that in public. Also, just buy the dye combos you can stand out from the other warriors. Just pick a unique face and dye. Also, unique weapon types (and I mean stuff that people don't use often, not Crystaline swords, ect, everyone has or wants them -.-)

wait a sec......since when do w/ use artery/gash in pve? isn't that a little retadded(not retarded, retadded)?

my favorites are the w/mo + mending. i always get a kick out of that. my second prof right now is mo, but I don't use any mo skills, pure warrior. only reason its mo is because of the build my friend and i use to run dunes.
