Upkeep was adjusted?

[Joker86]

I'm only gen 3, before I retired my first time I had all the equipment that I wanted for heavy lancing from a courser.  The most I ever had was 20k, if I ever dropped down under 5k I'd go infantry until I had about 10k and then jump back on my courser with heavy lance, scimitar, knightly heater shield, heraldic mail, mail chausses, and mail gauntlets.

I don't like the fact that you sometimes have to play something "worse" to be able to play your favourite build again...

I honestly didn't have a problem with it.  Riding a horse and wearing nice armor would require upkeep and money.  Most people were not mounted knights, and if I need to make some money as a peasant mercenary, then so be it. 

If everyone was able to play their favorite build at any time, there would be no need for building up skills or purchasing equipment.  That's kind of the whole point of c-rpg.

What about when you turn off auto repair your equipment will break but never to the point of not ever being able to use it again. Example: coat of plates when fully broken is reduced to say 32 armor so you can still use whatever you want, it will just be really reduced in effectiveness unless you repair it.

looks like it just went up again or is it just me having shit luck  :

I'm not sure if upkeep was increased but I have noticed something. I've respecced a lot lately, and so I've gotten to try all sorts of different equipment setups of varying costs. Archery, my current build, is by far the most expensive play style I've done in last 3 months. I lost 10k last night in a matter of three hours while wearing about 30k worth of gear. Xbow, cavalry, plated 2h... none of these seem to come close to the cost of archery. Is this a ninja effort to penalize me for going pew pew?

Yes. Like I said, Tatar Bow, regular arrows, and a ragged outfit unless you want to go broke.

[Oggrinsky]

Yeah, what's up with that? I can run around in heavy armor with a longsword/shield and a horse and still make more money than I can in cloth with a bow and arrows.

[Tzar]

I dunno how you guys make profit i just manage to keep it somewhat stable granted i use a crap helmet an boots to save gold an keep my equipment cost to a total worth of 43k

With that setup i dont gain or lose gold seams like im goin 50/50 lol

Tried being cav once but that shit is expensive as hell if your using a courser an upwards

[Gurnisson]

I'm swimming in gold and don't have any problem with upkeep. Though it has to be said, x5 is a lot more common than the dreaded x1.

[crojosip]

Lost loads of gold on siege at one time when I had x1 for 22 rounds.  Damn you auto balancer.


Still keeping my gold sorta even with 25k of equipment.

Siege hurts your gold stash
