<DIV>You mean to telll me you only got 8 gold and your a 27 level char. You must be one of those many people that never see the economy in this game and always quit and say eq2 sucks. i am only level 23 and have everyskill upgrade and have over 20 gold on me right now and have only barely scratched the surface of the wealth that is available to those who only do minimal tradeskilling....Of course most of that came before the patch...I'm not sure of thier is an economy after that last patch now. I been buying items off market and selling to npc merchants and making a profit..HA! I prob won't do anymore crafting now till i go broke. but 20 gold should last me a level or 2 from now anyways i suppose")</DIV>

<DIV>What on earth were you replying to? :smileyvery-happy:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As to your comment on how much gold a player should have, as it happens, I've played since beta and never racked up more than 20 gold at one time, and that I spent pretty fast. :smileytongue: </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My highest character currently has 7 gold, but so what? She has all spell upgrades, a fair few at Adept 3, which she harvested for and made herself, and she never wants for anything.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>How is the size of a players purse indicative of their skill? Maybe their greed, but not their skill.</DIV>

<DIV>It doesnt matter how much coin I have as long as all my gear is white to orange</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>having only green stuff and NO coin  must suck big time, i agree on that. but even the worst player can do better I think.</DIV>

<DIV>eh ive got a 25 necro and a 22 zerker, with about 8 gold between them. Of course on my necro with the new patch I get resisted 99% of teh time on the lowliest Zek mobs, so I can't gain any money there. Was nice to get nearly half a gold from the access quest though <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

Guess it sucks to be me then. Level 20. Half of my gear is grey. Most of my spells are non-upgraded. I can't make money in the game. I'm just poking along doing quests. Grouping occasionally so I can watch everyone else get the lottos. I have about 50s in the bank. This is the best I can do. I bought this game to play and have fun. I don't find it fun to have to sit in front of crafting stations all the time in order to try and keep myself geared even with as little as I do have. I can't sell because the only people I can sell to are those that are on from 10pm PST to 7pm PST with the daily server resets. I am getting more and more depressed by this game by the day. KOTOR2 for me.

<DIV>I have done NO tradeskilling at all... except the IoR to get dreak's bracelet.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And I have made over 89 gold so far by mining resources, selling Adept 1 drops and Quest items.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Money isn't hard to come by in EQ2 you just have to be a bit lucky (5 silver clusters so far) and pay attention to the market.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And if you see a "<FONT color=#ffff00 size=5>?</FONT>" PICK IT UP! even if you decide not to do the collection quest you can still sell the item from anywhere from a few silver to alot of gold on the broker.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was also mega rich on Wanderhome before I quit playing SWG I quess some people have it and others dont.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>yeah thats the gist of my problem... bad luck. I've harvested in Antonica till my pores bleed and still havent seen a single rare harvest.</DIV>
