Save the money and when you can buy char slots make new chars and buy stuff for them, theyll need it...

Do what most people do with a lot of money. Spend it on Dwarven Ale and ge the drunkard title

.

Or you could try to collect all the greens.

Or get Candy Canes.

just go and continue with your ranger since the henchies will take anyone =p and later you'll end up spending all the gold on all the bows he/she will need for all the different types of situations etc

You can't find vanity skins for caster weapons. They may exist in theory but the frequency at which they pop up for sale is ridiculously low - at least for weapons with perfect (collector) stats. So while physicals get to collect sexy gear for their characters, casters are basically stuck choosing between collector, crafted, and (usually bad) green weapons.

The best thing you can do with lots of money right now is to roll a warrior and start filling him up with vanity weapons. Until there's a serious change to the game's item system casters just don't have that option.

Peace,

The problem with caster weapons is that the "perfect" ones with collector stats just don't show up in drops. How many times have I gotten a low req staff of Death Magic only to find that it has a 20% recharge rate for Divine Prayers or some other garbage I don't want.

As I've said, all my other characters are on an indefinate hold.

They CAN'T introduce anything different, really. Caster Weapons never change and don't really have any kick-arse skins.

ALL Necromancers should be using Tormentors/Necrotic. It's a constant +10 AL, who WOULDN'T use it?

Plus, I have very little storage space.

Well, not anymore. Amber and Jade are at 1k.

That may be the answer. I still have a bunch of Ritualist and Monk skills I need to buy, respectively.

I had that idea. Until I realized that I needed to open 5,000 chests. That's 2.4 million gold and way way too many hours.

Wrong. Female Necromancer FoW makes you look like a...man's toy. 15k Canthan makes you look badass. The choice is obvious.

Work on your ele and ranger, use the money to outfit them as well. Ele and ranger are both needed in the missions and, honestly, I have absolutely no problems getting into groups with either of mine. Might as well do them now, while you have the cash for it.

joncoish · Jun 17, 2006, 09:56 PM // 21:56

give it to me!

Make all your characters PvP ready.

Vahn Roi · Jun 17, 2006, 10:00 PM // 22:00

Invest in items such as Ecto and they ever popular Rubies and Sapphires. It gives you something to do with you money and if done right it will earn you even more money later on (perhaps when you actually have a use for it)

ColaManiac · Jun 17, 2006, 10:03 PM // 22:03

buy more keys for chests! it's always nice to find out that un ID req 8 jade axe has after ID no dmg mod... =)

what about if you start collecting minipets?

buy some ale and get drunkrad title?

invest on materials? buy lots of dif materials, wait for chapter3. sell em for huge profit

Da Cebuano · Jun 17, 2006, 10:08 PM // 22:08

Here's the thing, I have the same problem sort to speak except i do have items in mind I wanna buy but my chars are set real well at this point and I don't really need. I have quite a bit of sum in pure gold, saveral times your current amount to put it lightly, items that are gonna net me atleast 100k+ more and money invested in 176 rubies 61 sapphires and a couple of ecto as well as 74 CC, not much but its there for me to invest in gold I have no room for.

Thing what I'm trying to say is that the whole point of getting rich is to reach for the skies, meaning get as rich as mutha........... possible. If you enjoy GW and will probly stick around for the next saveral games, why have set yourself so well that you can just blow money on FOW costing armors and weapons w/o flinching? yes, only a few of us can ever get to that point, I myself have only FOW armor on my monk and thank god I don't like the way the rest of the classes fow looks like. Thing is, I'm not even close to getting there yet, till then, gotta stay hungry. I have 6 chars and each equipped w/ a bevy of items I'm comfortable w/, yet I'm still waiting for ANET to increase the storage cap to 5 mill or more just to see if I can cap it. I know thats not much to alot of people here, but its a goal I have yet to reach :\

Oh and not to make ya feel bad but I had that gold amount during my south shiverpeak days w/ my warrior b4 I discovered farming, so welcome to a milestone.

kvndoom · Jun 17, 2006, 10:19 PM // 22:19

I have a warrior, my problem is I'm not much on vanity, so I don't spend much. And my goodness did I overfarm before I stopped. I have 900k in storage, about 75k in pocket change on my 3 PVE toons, over 400 dyes (including 19 black and 67 silver), 115 Bleached Shells which I shoulda dumped before Factions came out, 90 Candy Canes, and all sorts of other stuff. No point in giving anything to guildies, because everybody in my guild is freaking rich already (our guild hall had every NPC within 3 hours of Factions being released on April 28th).

What's funny is that most of us got that way from pure grind and not buying and selling. The last high-ticket item I sold was Victo's Axe when it was new, for 100k. Two weeks later I bought the shield for 85k, so that kinda evened out (moreso when I accidentally sold it to the merchant for 35 gold. ARGH). Lately all I do is Alliance Battles, random arena, and foolishly hope my guild will get serious about GVG once more. So I know what it's like to have it and not need it. And still sometimes I go and farm in the desert just to pass a little time, and wind up with even more money...

Sweetest · Jun 17, 2006, 10:32 PM // 22:32

i have over 8 mil on 4 accounts : ( what should i buy?

raven214 · Jun 17, 2006, 10:44 PM // 22:44

Wow! 0.o .... Let's see, the most I ever had was around 70k. I currently have 7k and some common materials. Just 100k and I'd be set for quite a while.. lol
