Upkeep tips

[Frank]

Hey guys, can anyone here give some tips to survive the plague that is upkeep? At level 30 I estimate me equipment will be 60k+ in total cost, and I need ways to cover this. I am already going to sell a loom point, but what else can I do? Thanks!

Wear cheaper gear.

[Frank]

Not an option.

[Dexxtaa]

Not an option.

Duel lots on the duel server. Then get in the big fights. Fight well, fight hard.

I roll with 107k gear. I still make a small profit and can maintain my gear.

Any other mode but battle will be a money sinkhole. I like to roll around in peasant cloth because it's a change from my regular Teal Doom Butt Armor. So alternating is also an option.

60k total cost is a lot. You will most probably lose money, unless you're really lucky with multis. If you really want to wear 60k gear, you better farm a nice pile of gold playing in peasant gear first.

Or clutch a lot.

Consider playing DTV being nude with only one weapon or a shield, you don't need more than that in organised teams. With a good team you will get the equivalent of a constant x3 in battle.

60k really is a lot. There's no way you can't at least find a cheap equivalent of your weapon.

You can also try being a valour leecher.

This,

What you're using sounds super expensive for someone who is still asking for upkeep tips.

[Penitent]

You aren't going to be able to wear 60k forever.  You will have to alternate.

However, if you sell a loompoint and keep all the gold, then you will be able to keep wearing 60k worth of equipment for a very very long time.

But yeah, most people alternate between an expensive and moderate upkeep equipment set.

Some people wear only cheap gear at 1x, then change out to something a little nicer at 2x, then even better at 3x, etc.  Full plate and expensive weapons is totally fine to wear at 5x.

So yeah...lots of different ways.

Dexxtaa stop counting heirlooms that is fake inflation!

Thanks guys. I have heard about 'valour' by the way, and got it a few times. How exactly do I earn it?

You're supposed to fight to the end. Usually when occurs when you're the last one alive.

But most of the time people run like fucking morons until someone finally puts their coward asses down.

[Tears of Destiny]

Survive near the end.

Being in proximity to enemy and killing a few may or may not help.

You must also lose.


So basically, you have a higher chance of a multiplier of you contribute to the team and actually win the round. Don't valour leech.

[Warcat]

If you really want valor, get 13 shield skill and have 1-3 people hack at your shield for the whole round. Play it right and you will even help your team win, which is better than valor. Also, I recommend the board shield, with the removal of force fields, the extra size still makes it useful, but it doesn't cost much.
