Yah,just a little rant from me about all this people having money outa the yang. I read about these people have amazing weapons and fissure armor,and they are getting gold drops and stuff like there is not tommorow. I get a gold drop say once every 2 days,but hardley ever a good one at all. So yah just a stupid rant by me. Just hope a 15%>50 sickle drops for me some day

How do the poor get poorer then?

Good luck. So....what did you need gold for again?

Arturo02 · Oct 10, 2005, 06:35 AM // 06:35

Most people are not rich and don't always get great drops. Don't believe the hype.

twicky_kid · Oct 10, 2005, 06:54 AM // 06:54

the people that have money are people that have been playing since the beginning when drops where good.

then anet pulled a fast one and realized that gold is worthless.

sad thing about skill price increase. i was complaining about a 500g skills now wtf.

just seemed counter productive to me and created more grind.

btw since the solo monk is just about dead when are we going to see the drops come back up. don't know about you but still having crap drops at most locations.

Why do you need more money than you can spend ? ;p

Axle_Fieshe · Oct 10, 2005, 07:09 AM // 07:09

i have really needed money. just do the missions and quests and the monsters u kill on the way should be enuff to get the stuff you NEED. the stuff you WANT will probly require u to farm.

purrfect · Oct 10, 2005, 07:10 AM // 07:10

Hmm... its not that hard to get gold in the game.. just farm and get something good and sell it to people. It works everytime for me and sorrows is the best place to farm as a boss drop can range from 5k - 100k + 5 ectos.. So even tho u are poor, u dun have to have 600k or so to enjoy the game

Shinsei · Oct 10, 2005, 07:10 AM // 07:10

Is it really that important that your weapons and armor have to be shiny? Just get a set of droknar's armor and get the collector's items you need. Tada, you're just as good as anyone in FoW armor. The rest is just luxury, and not having the luxury doesn't mean you're poor. About green items, you're just as able to farm those as the "rich" are, so there's no "rich getting richer" or "poor getting poorer" here.

Mumoto · Oct 10, 2005, 07:14 AM // 07:14

For 1 Sorrow's Furnace run I got like 3k (selling useless items and the gold I got from the monsters) and the Green Item which will sell for around 15k.

So if you're lucky you're able to get lots of money for just a bit of hard work

purrfect · Oct 10, 2005, 07:21 AM // 07:21

^^ Agreed.. sometimes per run with 5 man u might even get 2 greens if ur really that lucky...
I didnt get any greens last round but i got a sup vig! i wasnt expecting it tho cos i thought it might be another major rune and certainly got me by suprise when i IDed it and saw its a sup vig

i was like Wow?

purrfect · Oct 10, 2005, 07:27 AM // 07:27

Really? I'm a pretty sad muppet and play a lot - just ask the wife

I'm still saving for grotto armour for my warrior, but it's one long grind trying to get the cash together.

BTW: Before anyone starts flaming me, I'm aware that I don't actually need 15k armour - I would just like to have it

Shadowdaemon · Oct 10, 2005, 08:22 AM // 08:22

just learn to farm, i remember my first celestial sigil took a long time to get, and my first set of 15k armor seemed to take FOREVER, but i had gotten alot better at farming by the time i decided i wanted fissure, and it took me maybe a month(playing an average of 4 hours a day, farming constantly, and buying all the materials) to get my fissure armor, so really once you get practice at farming you can get gold quickly, right now i generally make around 6-20k an hour, and thats just selling stuff to the merch/rune trader, thats not counting stuff i auction on here
