Impossible to profit as cavalry.

I never saw you on a plated charger Crow face, are you telling porky pies again!

 

Then i must be extra unlucky. Courser, heavy lance, black helmet with hat, mail gauntlets, mail chausses, coat of plates, knightly heater shield, italian sword. I can lose like 10k on three maps. Forces me to play as foot speaman 

[Elerion]

ok if your majesty says so 

Fraps your next play session. If your sword at any point breaks 16 times in 20 consecutive rounds, I'll paypal you $100.

Fishtip: don't use your horse all the time, go for a hybrid foot/cav build and save up on foot!

Actually, that''s two tips for the price of none!

Cosmonaut Andropov.....how ?

I use (most of the time): Plated Charger, Fat Plate Armor, Plate Mittens, Plate Boots, Winged Helm, Arabian Cavalry Sword, Steel Shield, Military Pick and One Handed Battle Axe.....and I am earning money all the time.

how to cheat slot system?

anyways, repairs always feel more expensive than they are because you mostly notice it when your expensive items repair and not when nothing expensive repairs. That makes it feel like your xpensive items break all the time.

This is also very helpful on the maps where cav simply cannot function.

A courser and normal lance is almost exactly 25k.

Over long term the breakeven is 25000 x (average multiplier).

So no, you really are not losing money even if you constantly sit at 1x.

The Strongbow is 7,896 and the Heavy Lance is 6,237. Remember that the heirlooms does not increase repair cost. Although bodkin Arrows are 5,058 if you take the bodkins (twice if you take two stacks), the lancer also have a backup weapon too.
Not to say that HA is cheap, but it's not 23k just for the weapons.

use ur math, 1 strongbow, 3 x bodkin u forgot the other bodkin ^^

Wait. So your STANDARD outfit as a HA is to have the best HA bow, and 3 of the best quivers? Ming that is not the profit way, that's the "yay I got x4/x5" way. If you want to have 3 quivers than take khergit arrows, maybe barbed arrows, but only take the bodkin when you got high multiplier.

Yea i know, but as a HA u really need all the damage u can get.

This is me and JackieChan's equip costs.

Armor=3.3k
Horse=22k
Weapon=23k

around 48k

Instead of earning money we usually lost gold slightly from time to time. Price to pay for a HA

You mean 48k total equipment not upkeep Nobody has THAT much repair costs

yea sorry about that updated.

and why my arab horse breaks so often ((

[Memento_Mori]

Using a courser and a lance and nothing else, I am losing money. This is unfair to cavalry; horse price should be decreased.

Get good at using cav then you get multis, then you make money. I suck at cav and still made money whilst wearing all my gear & finished the build with my highest K/d yet.

8 riding is beastly, makes roaming around 360 lancing hilarious. xD
