Help me for God's sake, I'm losing money.

[Christo]

I started playing again now, but..

With all these one-sided matches, ridiculous balancing methods, and myself failing sometimes, I can't get that damned multiplier up, so even if our team wins, I end up losing money!

My main gear:

Faceplate
Mail&Plate
Mail Mittens
Iron Greaves

Elegant poleaxe,+pike or halberd depending on the match.

With this gear I always end up losing money, I tried using a Mail with Surcoat instead of Mail&Plate (the Green one), but I still can't make money.

Don't tell me, that I have to play in rags to get some cash? o.O
When I started, I had 35k.. now I'm at 10k, and it's just going down..

You can use about 20k gold worth of stuff with every multiplier, so if you're on a constant x1 you'd only be able to go 20k, if you're on a constant x5 you'd be able to upkeep up to 100k.

[Croaker McGee]

Well, cheaper gear does mean cheaper upkeep, at least until you rebuild your warchest. Also it seems to me (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) siege maps are easier to make money on than battle maps.

Yes, siege lets you gain xp/gold at a more constant rate and is also a longer round. Although it increases your chances of having to repair your items, you still end up making more money than in battle because of the increased duration of earnings.

recently came back and have the same problem. tbh i run around in a robe most of the time and save the transitional/courser when i finally get that multiplier working 

[Player_01]

From the way it sounds you're just getting bitchslapped with repair costs. A run of bad luck, I suggest just lowering the total cost of your equipment. Or what I love to do, run around in peasant rags with my beloved warspear and keel people.

[LordRichrich]

You can still upkeep a nice lvl of equipment, you don't have to run in rags!
I find that I can upkeep, over a playing session, 30k

Instead of the Mail and Plate, use the tunic over mail, or the mail shirt/hauberk. Instead of the elegant poleaxe, keep using the halberd. The mittens won't stop you from getting one-shot, so you can drop them for a few rounds, and your legs get a natural damage reduction (like the head gets a bonus), so you can get away with mail boots, or even leather. And never carry two weapons, the halberd can fill the piking role pretty well,

My main gear:

Faceplate     5990
Mail&Plate  15750
Mail Mittens     1376
Iron Greaves     3822

Elegant poleaxe,   12000
pike                  1600

Total cost         40 500 gold

If you want to have the same equipment all the time without loosing money your total cost need to be near 35 000 gold with a buffer of 20 000 gold in your chest.
For exemple if you switch to long hafted blade instead of EP  your total gear cost will be around 33 000 gold and you wil start making money again.

Try it

I'm running around with a total gear worth of a bit over 40k. With around 50k gold saved up, i seem to be financially stable enough.

In those 40k do you have heirloomed item? because they cost more in the game than what you pay for upkeep.
For example a balanced "something" will cost 10k but you will pay upkeep for it s original price of 7k.
I did that mistake that's why i m asking.

[[ptx]]

Yeah, but i am over 40k even without that. It is just that you need that 50k gold buffer to avoid going broke over short periods of bad luck or such.

[POOPHAMMER]

I have 4 sets of plate I like to run around in and 148385 gold in the bank. It isnt hard to step down to some cloth armours for a while and make some money while kicking ass, might help you learn to block a bit also

[Brutal]

ok, just asking 
The OP seem to have problem with 40k maybe he just didn' t have enough buffer for the long term. He should still lower he 's total equipment cost by a few thousand of gold until he find the right balance for him.

Addiction to being robocop is why this patch was rolled out, no?
