Every round something gets broken. When i try to play siedge,battle or something i easily get killed because lack of good weapons and armor.

Just play in low tier equipment

use padded cloth and lower for armours
helmet, gloves, foot optional if you decide to wear wear low cost ones
same thing for weapon.

If you play like that you will get richer in no time.

You should adjust your gear so that all the equipment you're using cost around 30k. This way in the long run you should earn more money than you lose to your repairs.
 And remember that high wpf in weapons reduce the chances that you need to repair your weapon. (correct me if i'm wrong)

I usually run around in 19,202 worth of gear unless I bring two weapons and make money most of the time at 1x.

If you only have 1000 gold currently then you must have spent a ton of money on crap. As a 1st gen character you should have a LOT more money at this point.

You only have 2 options:

You can respec and ignore upkeep for a while or as others said use really cheap gear until you save up 30k or so.

Just use cheaper gear. The repair cost is too high for a new player to use high tier armor (like transitional or even black plate).

so the point is to have many money at lvl 26?
I bought this much stuff because i can earn easy money now,and when i retire my new char will have all gear and not need to buy stuff.
it is much easier start than buying all stuff as you lvling.

You pay no upkeep the first 25 levels so you can buy all the stuff you actually want to wear without losing gold. From level 25 on you should stick to either cheaper gear OR you could just play in peasant gear for few maps (so you earn a nice chunk of gold) and then waste it all using expensive equipment for a few rounds.

Ok,but i can't play with shitty stuff. I get killed so easily,and that fustrate me so much.
Cheaper gear is so slow,and gives smaller dmg.
They fuck you from 1 to 15 lvl and then fuck you from 26-31lvl. :lol: Why?


Ok,thank you all for advices.

You'll get used to it as you get better at the game. You'll also see that you can still use good equipment without losing (too much) gold.

Lots of really good players wear crappy gear to save money and they do decently on the scorecharts. You have to play a bit more carefully than in heavy gear because you have less margin for error, but you will get used to it and you will really appreciate the heavy armour more when you do put it on.

save super heavy armor for defending x3 or higher multis, or coordinate with other teammates when you are going to wear it

What armors/weapons are you using when you pass 26lvl?

You should have keep some money, around 10.000 gold, so it doesn't hurt when you loose gold.

Anyway, gear will not save your life or will not learn you how to play, you can do it without high tier gear.

Onion top bascinet
Studded Leather Over Mail
Mail Gauntlets
Mail Chausess
German Greatsword

And I'm not losing money, granted I get a good multi now and then. It might look like you're losing money for a while, but in long turn you'll get it back. Make sure you have atleast some gold to sustain random upkeep spams (20-30k).
