Come, my fellow povo FiestaFanlings!
 

Are you feeling poor? Did you get a heart attack when you realised how expensive your EQs and skills are? Are you so broke that you can't even afford stones and pots? Have you recently told someone you only have ## coppers left? Do you think 20 silvers is a lot of money? If you do, this is the place for you. You can scream and whine about how poor you are right here! We'll offer each other comforts and our condolences. If you have 100 silvers or more here, GET OUT! WE DON'T WANT YOU! (Jkjk) But don't come and say "I have 100 silvers but I think I'm still poor". Think of us! The ones that are always down to coppers only! It hurts when you say that to us. =(

So anyway, ever since I've reached level 30, there always seem to be a hole in my poor wallet and the hole seems to get bigger and bigger every day. Before I turned 30, I went to calculate how much money I need to get the armours I want. In total: 38 silvers. I nearly passed out. 38 silvers?! That is insane indeed. So I went digging up coppers to make stones, digging up plants in moonlight tomb, spilling blood, sweat and tears, and I finally managed to make 38 silvers. BRILLIANT! I got all the armours I needed when I turned level 30, and thought "awesome, I don't need to save that much money again till level 40 for the next set of armours".

WRONG! WRONG! I totally forgot about my skills. Just then, I calculated how many more silvers I need to afford all the skills I need (level 34 now, I haven't been getting any skills since level 30), and I found out that I need to get about 30 silvers. ANOTHER 30! Oh my god! - Faints - When will this ever end?! Why does the NPC keep stealing money from me? Why won't they let me bargain!??!

Don't you sometimes wonder how some people of your level can be so rich compared to you? How come they have so many silvers hanging around in their inventory doing nothing? I only spend money on stones and pots. I don't buy any unnecessary expensive things at all, yet I am so poor all the time. I'm sure other people needs to buy stones/pots/whatever they need as well. Why are they so rich? WHY?!

So now, I'm still wondering how I am going to make the 30 silvers I need. But the time I get them, I might have made another level or two, meaning I would need more silvers to buy more skills. NOoooOOooOoooo.....

Sharing a similar experience? Whine about it here!

Wait, WHAT? You're level 34 now?! O_O

Yeah, my fighter has been draining every single silver left from my cleric. I'm down to my last silver now... >_<

penyaz plsss

No, I'm actually level 32. Why did I think I was level 34? Hm. I have no idea. I must be so poor that I'm out of my mind. Oh well, I can't be bothered to edit, but I'm level 32. xD

I'm broke just buying the level 20 armor and one skill. Gosh everything is so expensive @.@

Yeah, and it won't get any better either! They just get more expensive by the level... -cries-

I used the GM events as a stepping stool for the money I have at the moment. I remember getting about 70 silver from one event from picking about 4-5 flowers, ever since then I've been merchanting. Buying low, selling high. Though I got scammed twice (purchase/sell store thing), I've still been able to retain most of the money I had made from the events.

There's not much advice I have for money making or saving, as it seems the cost of things just tilts too steeply. I mean, you started buying things for 50 copper at level 1, and at level 30 you're facing 17 silver for just the upper body armor alone. Crazy inflation?! I think so. Smith Karls needs a good backhand. But you have to respect the guy for being able to break so many hearts with his half assed refining and over priced wares.

Anyway, in your case, I'd say just keep picking them herbs in Moonlight tomb, takes a long time but you should be making 3-4 silver an hour.

Petition for lowered cost, anyone? T_T

When I got my cleric to level 31, I had about, 90s give or take. I forget the actual number, but it was around there. I realized I had a ton of new skills to buy and armor. e_e After buying everything, I had 200c left...

D:!

Let's pool our money and hire an assassin to take that dude out, seriously. He's got to be a billionaire by now from the sweat off our backs.

Anyway yeah, at about level 25 I think I was really backed up on stuff I needed to buy, but I got enough from an event a couple sales. I don't know if I'll make it to thirty or not but I doubt I'll have the money to cover my needs then. So far the primary reason I'm broke is from massive losses due to failed refining attempts, though. I wish I had all that loot back.

You try refining people's item's for FREE 24/7 without getting any pay...
Wish there was a way to bribe the bastard though.

i don't even have enough money to buy a full stock of hp stones for my fighter (lvl 21). i've been at 0sp stones for the past week cause i can never afford more than 30hp stones at a time (out of like 46 max).

i barely managed to make enough money off selling def scrolls one night to buy a couple skills (or maybe it was just one) for my fighter and archer but now that so many people have been selling them for such low prices i'm better off using them than selling. though i did get a slight glimmer of hope last night, too bad i couldn't leave my comp on to try to sell. there was actually nobody in elderine selling def scrolls, that was my only chance to recover and now it's gone.

also by the time i got a pet everybody had one. i tried my best and took out all but 2 or 3 chests that were spawned in elderine but then they had to do that darn flower thing and the mining thing <_<.

currently my fighter has like 30 copper and my archer has maybe 300. i have a ton of elrues but those are also worth crap. i wonder how much a tier 2 blessed elrue sells for... (just got one from gold hill KQ).

also wtf since when did mara pirate elite in the mara KQ drop stuff? last night they actually dropped crap like elrues (which i didn't even get to pick up)

Isn't the broken hearts of countless players enough pay? He doesn't even apologise for the breakage of weapons, that's what ticks me off the most. Who knows whether or not he even breaks the weapons, he may just take them to the storage room to be sold again .__.

But in all seriousness, I've heard that the enhancement system in the chinese and korean versions doesn't break your weapons until you're at least attempting to +7 them. I think they'll implement this soon enough into the English version, my best guess is that they just wanted to test out how well players would react to their weapons breaking at level 1.

I'm broke trying to get a bow to +9, hey i got it to +7 so i didn't do to bad!

But that also got broke T_T

Oh, right. I forgot the point of this thread.
