<div></div><p>12pp for Provoking Stance back when T6 masters were really rare.</p><p>Spent 10pp for Retribution and between 7-9 pp for most of my others.  There doesn't seem like there's that many high level Bruisers on Permafrost, so if something is going for 10+ I can usually wait or haggle them down to 7 or 8.</p><p>Most I ever sold a Master was for 18pp for the Rogue level 58 offensive stance.  The guy bought it from the Qeynos broker and was shocked when I stepped in my inn room and saw it sold for 18pp offline with that kind of tax.</p><p>For my bro's necro, I spent 20pp for server first Arch Lich Master 1 and would probably pay 20pp for Savage Frenzy, too.</p><p>-Kald, 70 Bruiser Permafrost</p>

[runamonk]

<div></div>I spent 8pp for my level 68 Master Vigorous Spirit. I refuse to pay anything over 10pp per master spell. It's just stupid to spend more than that, specially when you can get the adept III's for 3 - 5pp.<div></div><p>Message Edited by runamonk on <span class="date_text">03-31-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:45 AM</span></p>

<div></div>its not having one master making the difference, its having all masters that change your character....

[TheSummoned]

Most I've spent was 20pp on Blistering fists, but got most of my masters for under 10pp. Actually, I think fists were the only master I got for over 10pp.  Some of my masters are droped too, like onehundred hand punch, savage bruising, tenacious will, and some others I can't think of atm...<div></div>

[Siberia2]

17pp for Savage BlowsFriend of mine gave 130PP for Ice Nova M1(Long Story)<div></div>

[CosmicAcidGu]

20pp on Eye Gash. For me, the rule of thumb is 70s = 20pp. 61-69 = 15pp.Finnster<div></div>

<span><blockquote><hr>CosmicAcidGuru wrote:20pp on Eye Gash.

I don't see what the big deal is about paying alot for masters? Its so much easier to make money then to spend it in the high game. After you have all ad3s, and most of the legendary gear out there what else is there to spend money on besides masters, food/drink, and repairs?</span><div></div>

[Pnaxx]

<div></div>Ho win the world do you folks get that much money to begin with? Thats wild to me. Are you all Artisans or is the high level game just that profitable with out that. I am retired so this is just for me curiosity.:smileyvery-happy:

<div></div>DoF you can start to get 3-12gp per quest from the <strike>socks </strike>DOCKS<div></div><p>Message Edited by ganjookie on <span class="date_text">04-01-2006</span><span class="time_text">12:35 PM</span></p>

a few hours of hunting T7 crap you bring home some nice change in vendor trash. Artisans are money sinks now. Except prov, my prov friend makes a good bit. On my server thou there are few TSers who make decent money doing it. Sanctum legendary loot used to be good money but now its kinda common. Making alot money IMO is about finding something and using it before others catch on and it either gets nerfed or worn to hell (like are price dropping, mobs with decent loot whos value downgrades)<div></div>

<div>most ive paid was probably 15, Blistering Fists. Although I would be willing to pay more for Savage Bruising and about the same for Eye Gash. Nothing else is really worth that much besides those 3 imo.</div><div> </div><div>and yea it must suck to be a wizzy... ice nova and now fusion... theyre so [Removed for Content] high</div>

[Nahlis]

<div></div>5p for Battle Lust in T6 was my high.  My Guild has a nice "pay-it-forward" system setup where most members dump Masters in the Vault and then can remove a like number of their own type Masters as other deposit them.  I've gotten nearly all my Masters this way and highly suggest it to other Guilds as well.

<div></div><p>Oh, believe me, if I had waited to retire any longer...a nuke would have hit my house with wife agro.:smileyvery-happy:</p><p>Hehe, I love this frickin game too much.:smileyhappy:</p><p> </p>

[DarkMirrax]

<div>U still play ? even a little now and again when the wife go's out ?</div><div> </div><div> </div>

[Lizardling]

<div></div><div></div><div>yea bruisers can make a lot... any class(preferred 70) that can solo well and plays there class well can. The top 10 on each server these days is aprox 400 p-1k p+, some are guild banks, others are storage mules for farming teams, and the rest(seems like a majority) are just normal players who know how to make plat easily.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>When expansions come out, theres always some good makings in starting off harvesting(something id never do, even though it can make good pay). So those that hit the level cap first that are to lazy to harvest themselves go to the market and see some of the first rares being sold, of course theyre going to be high, and well... sometimes players are just stupid too and actually buy them at that time.</div><div> </div><div>Another way is to just notice where the good farming spots are, the lower the numbers you have doing it the better. Without luck(having extremely expensive masters dropping), if you know exactly what your doing, you can make around 100p in just 3 days, but theres many things required as mentioned above. (Any class that can solo well, well geared, all adept III spells and above, lvl 70 and knowlege of what makes easy money, TIME, competitive, etc.)</div><div> </div><div> </div><p>Message Edited by Lizardling on <span class="date_text">04-03-2006</span><span class="time_text">11:09 AM</span></p>

<div></div><p>Lol....No...I don't play at this point. Wives hate this game. I retired once before and basically the same issues come back up......I play too [Removed for Content] much. If I 'm not playin it I 'm thinkin bout it. You all know the drill. So, no tyme fer it unfortunatly. I was hopin I could be balanced but apperantly I can't:smileywink:. A amn's gotta know his limitations I guess. :smileymad:</p><p>So now I live vicariosly threw ythese posts ulsee something magical changes. But it came to my attention that some people lose their marrigaes over this game (sure no one in here:smileywink<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> And that would be someone who shoulda gotten out while the gettin was good.</p><p> </p>

[ganjookie]

I will group for you later tonight Pnaxx as well as get lvl 50, all in your name!Finally after I started when the game opened I will get 50 tonight..hopefully<div></div>

Most I've paid was 22g, for Rescue. I'm only level 49 and have few Master1s though.<div></div>

[DarkMirrax]

<div></div><div>Yea p deffo more important things in life than video games , evercrack is a habbit thats hard to kick for sure ... two of my guildies got divorces over it !! mind you at the same time 4 others have gotten together in RL so its all good aswell ...</div><div> </div><div>Anyway as i strive towards 70 (slowly) every level i will dedicate to those bruisers MIA</div>

[MakhailSamma]

<div> My wife hated EQ1 a ton. She's not fond of EQ2 either for that matter. Though I had to point out to her after I quit EQ1 and before EQ2 that I am just a gamer. I would still play games (maybe not as much, and single player games have that whole pause thing going on) no matter what game it was. She knew that when she got with me and that won't change. She is more then happy to sit downstairs and watch TV while I play, so she is in no way less addicted to TV then I am to this game</div><div> </div><div> I also pointed out that I WILL come and watch TV occasionally with her to be with her.. but she will not come upstairs and play EQ2 to be with me.. not very fair in my opinion.:smileywink: Whenever she asks me to stop playing EQ2, I will recommend she not watch TV as well and we just hang out with eachother. We will spend a couple days just hanging out, neither of us playing EQ2 or watching TV, but eventually she breaks down realizing she is missing her "shows". Then I win and get to play again with my point proven.... or so I like to think :smileytongue:.</div><div> </div>

<span><blockquote><hr>wayfaerer wrote:Most I've paid was 22g, for Rescue. I'm only level 49 and have few Master1s though.<div></div><hr></blockquote>I haven't seen rescue that low in forever. Its usually a few platt at a time on my server.</span><div></div>

[Pnaxx]

<div></div>Yea...if I was a "gamer" prior to being marries then I woulda had that to stand on:smileytongue: But I was transitioning into being a gamer when we got married and had not yet gone online with my games. Once that happened, I was reborn into a gamer....much to the shagrin of my wnderful lil wife.:smileywink: So, until such time as something changes, Everquest will have to be lived through the likes of you all:smileysurprised: Now get to it and win me some loot!:smileywink:
