expensive stats
« on: January 22, 2005, 05:24:28 pm »
Something has been on my mind for some time. I finally understand the pp system and how to lvl.
But why does it cost so much to lvl your char. One lvl for swords cost like 150 trias.
I think it may be on the expensive side because there are only a couple of monsterts in the game that give off anything of value.
If there were to be a better balence int the money system for lvling it would be a very unique and nice system.

I know its in its beta stages so i will not complain any longer.

This is a great game cant wait to see it int he future.....

150 trias isn\'t really much. Just take a rat for example, it drops loot worth 7 tria, and that\'s for each rat. Kill 10 rats, and you have 70 tria, and after 20, you probably wont even have the Points to train more than one level of swordfighting, but you\'ll have 140 tria... And so on.

Yes but as of now the rat and the Teffie are the only one dropping loot with the occasional tria from the gobble :)  But as mentioned by Harry this is Beta so ...

I only wish they will keep making money very hard....

In every other mmorpg or rpg, the first hours, it is hard to find money, but after that it\'s easier in an exponential way....

In this game, you really have to work hard to gain money, as it has to be :)

A little tip. Spare your money until you get 750 trias, then go to Harnquist and buy a sharpened rock pick and mine platinum (If you know where) or gold. 20 junks of Platinum can be easily mined in 5 minutes. 20*12= 240.

Good plan except that you can only mine up to 10 ores of one type before you need to get rid of them.

Really jorrit? Well that must have been in the newer update (Didnt care much for leveling and getting money lately) and you can continue to mine the other ores.

I dont get your meaning, just walk up and turn round at the huge tower and climb around that building.

If you have to work hard to earn money then I think that you will feel much more satisfied once you finaly get enough. Either that or you will be really pissed and will not play this game any more because the \"leveling system is stupid\".

As you all pointed out, it is still only beta, and also I hear there is goin to be a wipe soon, won\'t have much left over after that.

That depends on your point of view. I agree that this game is not for the people who only have 10 - 20 minutes at a time and are looking to be powerful.
