http://i.imgur.com/rEdkw.jpg?1 I am making VERY little money with only 19k worth of equipment. I have been playing since midday and I have only gained about 2k. Repairs are EVERY round on most of my items. I have gotten many multipliers as well. Help! Oh, I am only lvl 19.
-
I wasn't going to say anything because I didn't want to be another person complaining about repairs, however, with that said, I do seem to be losing money quicker after the last past than I have in the past.
It could be some extra gear I have, but even then it wouldn't explain the extent or the speed in which I'm losing gold.
Oh well.

One of the secret ways to reduce number of gaysworders is increased upkeep on two most popular swords, Danish and German. They repair all the time, much more than any other weapons.

But I'm a 1hander...

Few things:
1. Upkeep chances increase based on how long the round is. So if you play siege, you'll generally have higher upkeep. Also, if you play on a highly populated server, you will also pay higher upkeep as the rounds are longer.
2. You're only level 19. The lower your WPF, the more you will pay in repairs on your weapon.
3. You're new, so you'll have a lower average multiplier than a more experienced player.
Since you're a 1-hander you can easily save money by downgrading your armor. The point of a shield is to not get hit in the first place.

Rusty, I am not new lol.

If your not new why are you whining about Upkeep?
-
Rusty, I am not new lol.
lol I just noticed. I didn't look at your name before I posted. I just assumed anyone asking about upkeep was new, lol.
Anyway if you drop your armor down to a byrnie, mail coif and some 0 gold boots you'll cut your upkeep almost in half.
Upkeep is currently fine, 'cause using a build with 2823 gold in max upkeep I make a ton of money.

I haven't been playing crpg for a while because I bought with fire and sword and napoleonic wars. I started playing again a couple days ago. my bank is busted on repairs or my gear gets trashed. In defend the virgin repairing a throwing axe and shield was 800 a round! Is that normal? kinda redick

First of all, your equipment looks stylish.
I think it is not the weapon and shield cutting your income, it's the armor. Especially with that body armor (heavy) and a short weapon you won't do that much good I think. Try to wear medium type of armor, something like byrnie I believe. Your helmet also looks a bit heavy too, you won't get hit in the head that often by melee and when you are being headshot it won't protect you well either.
In short: Lower your body armor and head armor a bit. You will most likely play better and increase the chance to win for your team, and your equipment cost will decrease significantly.
-
Do you really call that heavy? :D
Some head armor is indeed needed, hits to the head do quite some damage but I agree, if your upkeep is too high go for more light gear. You have a shield, most hits you take with that. If you get hit you should at least survive 1-2 hits by a 2h (depending on the hit, glancing, turning in with speed, stab ua).
I am totally not sure about the upkeep at all though. I hardly ever lost gold, only time I did was with Plated Charger, another time with higher heavy equip (Rus Cuirass and Heavy Gauntlets + 2h which already made alone over 3k upkeep). In most other cases theres not much to lose.

My level 17 guy wears 15.3K worth of gear, and seems to be making money gradually. My previous generation guy wore 40K of gear at lvl 30, and about half the time I'd have to downgrade to earn some cash. This is light kuyak, tagancha helm, rus boots, mail mittens, regular espada, elite cav shield and 2 slots of balanced jarids (well, they were heavy, so I'm not sure the actual total cost last gen).
This is fine for my guy, but it blows me away how heavier builds can make any money at all. I suppose it helps if you've been playing since day one and have masterwork everything and can sell loom points, but we're not all there yet. Naturally I'd hate to see nothing but tincans out there, but I think a little pity should be taken on the newbs. Perhaps first generation players (not including alts) get a bonus? 2nd gen gets less of a bonus, and 3rd and beyond nothing at all. It was a bitch saving money up for gear with my first guy, a cav/archer/shielder/polearm hybrid.

Best avatar to date

the secret to not going broke is to man up and put away the metal armour and fight in pajamas.

Dtv totally unbalanced concerning upkeep. You pay way too much upleep in Dtv. Try rageball if you have some athle , you will make ton of money!

How do you menage to make gear setup under 30k? :lol: it seems so wrong.
my gear set.
-lordly archons armor
-red wisby gauntlets
-mw KAS
-masterpiece elite cav shield
-guard helmet and splintered greaves
47h 50b 43l
Armor
1/4
Slots
28,094 gold
Cost
1,963 gold
Upkeep (max)
and this is just normal setup,everything under 50 armor is 2 hits and you are dead. What i wanted to say is that i am not loosing money,but i am not gaining maoney,unless i get x5,and that is happening once in day and it lasts for 2 minuts.
Every time i play i have x1,
-
I use about 40k worth of gear. Money is fairly stable.
-
36,747 gold worth of gear, gain money at a respectable rate. Think I gained about 10k today, played for like 2-3 hours.
Rumour has it that wearing daggers in your extra slots reduces the chance of the other items breaking, only if you don't have 1h wpf though. I've seen the break formula and it makes no sense at all, but my entire clan assured me it works. I like how it looks so there is no reason not to for me.
Or join a clan that can ensure a good multiplier, in my case that probably helps. If you are EU join HRE for siege and Byzantium for battle :P.

i noticed one thing if you wear gear that is very cheap items will brake every round. 3 items per round,but if you wear something arround 30k 1 item will brake per round ,if you wear even more expencive gear you should not pay the repairs almoust everytime.
I noticed too that hen you have some shitty item it reduces chances of repairs. Head armor,hand armor brakes rarely,usualy body armor or swords or shields get repaired often. SO if you continue to push gear cost it will brake every thime,and you will loose a lot of money.
somwhere arround 40k gear will not brake that often. That dudes who wear heavy armors and gs they can afford that because of this. I always wondered how they do that,but when i tried i was suprised how low repairs are.

This wasnt always the case though. Was it an update, my characters level, or how much gold Ive accumulated that triggered the high cost of repairs? Ive heard all 3 reasons.
-
i won't play anymore because of this repair thing.I have an 50k set and i can't earn any money.
-
I get only 800 repair
-
My main became cav this gen, and I was surprised that I don't loose as much money as I supposed, having 60k gear cost. Without my horse (36k total gear cost) I dont loose money at all, though I don't earn it either.

Anecdote or fact?
-
Don't use heavy armors they sux i use nomad robe and it's nice i can survive 3 hits from strong weapons
-
I have almost the exact same total gear worth as you and I earn a lot of money. Don't know why. Might be because I have a very high average multiplier :/
-
Sell Looms, Ignore upkeep.
Not that it was much of an issue ever if you spent and wore within your means for a gen, or seven in my case, but it's true. If you want to just go all out and wear the heaviest armor you own every time then just sell a loom point and basically never worry about it again.
-
I feel the best way to improve money gain is to check how much each piece will cost you and then make sure simply repairing 1 piece of your equipment isn't going to be more than you'd make with your average multiplier in 4 minutes (5 to 6 if the servers near full).
