Upkeep tips

Yes, but those guys have been playing cRPG for quite a while, so they have huge piles of gold to sustain the gold loss from being a tincan.

Meh, whatever I can deal with it. Plan on retiring at 31 anyway, and moving away from tincan.

Last I checked, Random Dude also only wears that at the high levels until he retires, then wears rags until he gets back up there, heh.

lol Tears yo seem to have an endless  supply of cute korean girl pictures to switch your profile pic with.

Yeah man, get some mid armor, 9-18 weight, and a mid-range weapon with a style you like.  I wish there was a nice Straight 2h sword in the 8k range, but I mean, cleavers, axes, even the (11)-12k (Heavy) Greatsword is a beast weapon, and knocks 6k off your weapon cost.  2Hers can put in work in lamellar with a strong weapon.  Just find a style you like.

Random Dude told me he had a massive stockpile of gold, from selling multiple loom points, that is how he wears 24/7 gothic.

Pretty much.

Also clutching multiple rounds helps.
 
Wearing plate 24/7 is an option available only to those who commit enough time into the game, and maintain that.

If you're just starting out, it's simply financially impossible.

You need to have 5x almost always to do that kind of shit. Play on the duel server 24/7 for like 3 months and maybe you won't be shitty. Otherwise you are going to be broke as fuck real fast.

You'll also probably want at least 50k(probably 80k) as a starting buffer to bankroll the randomness of having lots of repairs in a row.

I hope you've already played a lot with medium armor and something like a danish to see if you really like big 2h swords and are good at it. Otherwise you are going to be broke as fuck really fast and equally as frustrated.

You also might consider respecing when you hit 26, so you never pay upkeep. Just live at 22-26.

DO NOT SELL YOUR LOOMPOINT, YOU NAME THIEF! You can seel it but don't eat it with upkeep FFS.
