It depends on what campaign you are on.

Prophecies: Max armor can first be purchased in Droknar's Forge
Factions: Kaineng Center
Nightfall: Consulate Docks
Eye of the North: Boreal Station

You buy it from an armor trader and it costs 1k per piece + materials

"Rich" is a point of view. As I have previously stated, I have a little over 7,500e and I still consider myself poor/average. Some consider 500e "doing good" and some consider 100e "doing good". It's all in the eyes of the beholder.

a lot of money is when you start trading in armbraces

armbraces are worth multiple ecto. ecto worth 7-8k a piece

leaderwolf3 · Jun 13, 2010, 08:43 PM // 20:43

I consider a lot of money or a considerable amount to be roughly a stack of armbraces meaning 250 armbraces
armbraces being 27e each = 6750 ectos
ectos being 7k each = 47,250 platinum
is what i consider alot of money ^^

Now this varies to different people
The higher you move up the ladder the higher you can see
meaning to set new goals for it, after reaching this goal and virtually getting every rare item in the game, It has got somewhat boring
But now maybe i can set my goal to 5 stacks of armbraces

What is a lot of money" Each has their own opinion, but in a nutshell, when you reach the point that money no longer matters. When you don't care that the next person has more than you or you than them. When you laugh at people who itemize what they have and you no longer itemize. When a person asks for 50g and you give them 50k. When you are trying to figure out what to do with all your money, IMHO, you have too much.

Over the course of 4 1/2 years of this game, I have made and spent millions of gold. Not bragging, just stating a fact. I am now satisfied with keeping 300k to 500k on hand. No ectos or ambraces, or any other exchange commodity, just gold coins.

depending on your level, 13k should give u a good enough start if your nearing the point of leaving the island. as already said, max armor at the docks isnt too expensive. ways to save money, dont just automaticly buy skills becuase you have the money for them, just get what you need. by the time you get later in the game, if youve been just using drops to equip your heros, you should have plenty of money built up. pick up everything you can and sell to the merchant or to other players if the drops are right, as you play, its one of the easiest way to make money. ive never had more then 300k at any time after almost 5 years, but have been able to buy almost everything ive ever wanted or needed, other then FoW armor.

If you're worried about being broke you don't have a lot money.

13k is not what I would consider a "lot of money" in GW. A lot of money in GW would be more like 600-800k, in which case you can buy almost anything, except some uber-rare stuff that collectors want.
There are people with even a lot more (imaginary) wealth than that, but that's just overkill. But, since the game has been going on now for a couple years without new content, you run out of things to spend it on. And, unlike R/L, having huge piles of wealth does nothing for you in GW - you can't build empires in GW.
