Ten rules to make your money problems a little lighter
Rule one.This rule is a touchy subject though important. Do not buy from player shops without thinking. Around 65% of players tend to overprice. If you insist on buying from a player shop at the very least check around for other prices both in other player shops and in the game shops.
Rule two. Sell only Weapons gained through rewards (aka killing and getting a weapon as a dropped item) unless your close to your goal
Rule Three Sell Rewarded weapons UNLESS they are your particular weapons just strong (aka higher level) hold onto them it saves the expense of buying new ones which get insanely expensive the higher levels you go. Also buy every other weapon avalible. Not every one. Cuts down on money. Its not hard to fight with a weapon a few levels below you. Better save gold for the next increase in major difficulty.
Rule Four Save beast drops (aka furs skins etc) for clan donations More bang for your buck that way.
Rule FiveDo not Buy Clothes from INgame shops. They offer no change in your stats other then pockets which you can get fairly easily with quest items. Its a drain on your wallet
Rule Six Make Frenquent money runs. Find a place that the monsters drop good loot and are within your level range so you will get skill gains and possible rewarded weapons to bolster your wallet
Rule Seven Dont always jump at the chance to do Chi breathing as soon as it becomes avalible. Use that stall in growth to take advantadge by pounding away at monsters for rewarded weapons whil massively boosting your skills.
Rule Eight Know the Area. Know which mobs are good for exp and which good for loot/rewarded weapons. Know your access points for resting and for pete sakes dont clog up the same areas where every one levels. Find secluded areas that offer the same mobs. They respawn faster AND you dont have to fight/steal other people's items/kills it makes it an easier place for us all. Not to mention slowing down lag in hot spots
Rule Nine Be nice. Some people give items they are done with to lower level players. If your a jerk no one wants to be in the vicintiy or even on the same server with you. That opportunity for a free weapon or accessory is wasted because you just had to make a joke about their momma. Joke's on you moron.
Rule Ten Buy Items in Bulk. Cheaper items are still effective if used correctly. Buy lots (max is 255 per slot I think) and they'll last you several days at a fraction of the price of several of the stronger items Example Stanching herb - heals 20 external wounds. Sells for 10 gold each 255 X 10 = 2550 Does that NOT save you time and money? you can stay out in the field and gather more thing before needing to return to town. thus higher income rate and less time wasted of running back and forth to buy more of those expensive herbs that cost a bundle every time you do it. I did that purchase I was out for at least 12 hours each for two days before I had to go back and buy more. Took me quite awhile and I was fighting those nasty little red foxes that hit criticals 1/3 times they attack. >>Sidenote<< The higher your wound count (100 and up) the % of the price you pay is around 50%. 400 wounds = 200 gold. Just incase you didnt stay on top of managing your wounds while in the field.
The final Rule Technically its the 11th but this applies to everything including real life so its not exactly part of the ten rules. Be patient! evetually your patience will be rewarded for your hard work. In game your character will not only have the best weapons at the point also have cash to spare in case of an emergency not to mention your skills will be very high. This cant be beat. Granted you got to resist hurting someone so have a sibiling around to pummle or even better multitask like watching tv every 20 min so you dont get bored!
