I haven't played for a month yet either... but initially I couldn't see how people fed themselves...
Of course I didn't knwo you could upgrade your spells either.
My intial character was/is:
ELODARIAN, Summoner of the 11th Circle
In the process of killing Forest Guardians I found a Quick Strike Adept I and a Minor Healing Adept I.
Not knowing I would have a Druid, I sold the Minor Healing for 55sp... The buyer ran away laughing at me... little did I know that the spell sells all the time for 1gp on Befallen. /shrug
Live and learn!!!!!!!!!
After combining all my coins I was amazed to find I had amassed 1gp 57sp 93cp...
I put this astounding horde on my crafter,
ARGENTFURY, Warrior of the 16th Swords...
Outfitter of the 17th Hammer...
and viola, I now have over 4gp plus about 5-6gp worth of Iron spikes, studs & sheets... I just keep forgetting to go into vendor mode. (By the time I am quiting for the night I am too tired to set that up... /quit desktop... /snore)
Perhaps I will learn someday...
But as I posted earlier today, I am not motivated by money or I wouldn't be doing the drive-by twinking I did last night. I also wouldn't be selling the
PRISTINE TANNED LEATHER BACKPACKS for only 5sp... that is to say when I can find a buyer...
