Title: How much preferred upkeep to still make money?
Post by: Verore on November 18, 2014, 03:39:51 am
Currently have a  27/13 build with Great Long Axe and can't figure out what kind of armor to use and still make money while giving good protection. ~ how much upkeep or below should I aim for to still be making a bit of gold. 2251 max upkeep, is that too high?

Weapons are a money sink so first and foremost I would suggest using a cheaper weapon (maybe the long bardiche or long axe would suit you?).

Then for armor values I find that having 46h 40b and 25-30l would offer you the most efficient protection for the value.  (less body and leg armor would work for you too as you have more HP than my 21-21 build assuming you have iron flesh)           

For upkeep I would just keep it under or around a 1000 maximum. If you still lose money or you feel you could make money faster you could get an even cheaper weapon than something like a long axe or bardiche.

When I was trying to scrounge up all the gold I could, I found that 1500 upkeep or so let me wear light mail with a good weapon. 2 Hours of playing might net you 5000 to 10000 gold if you get lucky with multipliers. 2000-2500 upkeep isn't bad. You might lose money if you have a night of constant x1, but overall you should at least break even. That's enough upkeep for some really nice gear.

As long as you aren't bankrupt, just wear what you like. The heaviest plate armor and horses are the ones that will drain your gold. If you can't stand your gold not slowly rising, try using a light set of equipment when you have x1, and break out the heavy set when you have x3 or more multiplier. Changing your gear makes the game more interesting too. Playing the same thing for hours can get tedious.
