Well I plan on becoming a pirate or highwayman when I hit 50 and just harass the rest of the populace. 

That can work. Pirate is actually not a bad option for F2P

[Grumbs]

F2P seems very reasonable atm. I doubt its worth paying for patron unless you really want a house and can find a free spot. Housing doesn't seem as important as I thought, its not like you can lose any gear and its not local banking so storage doesn't seem to matter. Farming seems really boring, same with trading. I'm just grinding generic quests atm..will see how pvp is at some point but doubt i'll stick with this game

Never really thought about that but yes as a pirate you can still do so much as F2P, only trouble would be getting the clipper boat to begin the hunt.

Clipper is easy. Gildas you get from main quest, mats just take a bit more time to gather/craft/buy.

Honestly patron isn't worth it unless you are going heavy into crafting or farming. Most of the people I play with don't have any interest in any of that stuff and just want to do dungeons and pvp and are always capped at 5k labor. There are also some who want land, but there is no land available, at least on the NA servers.

I mean patron is nice, it makes making money easier which in turn makes buying patron with in game gold easier. But you can always run trade packs or be a pirate or something like that without really killing your labor. Especially with how incredibly cheap labor potions are, like 5g for 1k labor?

So yeah, unless you want to be heavy into crafting/farming don't worry about patron at all.

Plus, through just apex I bought with in game gold I am set for the next 5 months of patron. Its not really an issue.

Last I checked, LP pots were 11g each on my server, so pretty expensive.

well they are only 5g on my server but even at 11g thats nothing considering how much money 1k labor can net you. Traderuns alone can get you (from falcorth to rookborne, a 1 stop airship trip that takes like 15 mins, accounting for the lowered price because its a popular route) around 5g per 120 labor.. So that 11g investment will make you give or take, because the price from trade fluctuates and I was figuring a lowered price, 40g. Leaving a profit of 29g.

Generally speaking that trade route gives me 7 gold and at maximum gives nearly 9, but I was trying to make a conservative estimate.

in case you cant tell I like making money in games

[Vibe]

Well yeah, no doubt you can make profit with a labor pot. Unless you're leveling crafts then RIP labor

well just use enough labor to make your 11g back then use the rest to level crafts. Thats like 2 trade runs and its paid off.

A good night spent on freedich island. Arrived there and noticed chaos between enemy faction and my faction, mine being the ones with tradepacks. Snuck my way in as a tradepack carrier died and instantly took it and handed in for gildas. They were not happy with this and killed me on the spot. And they, or now only one person (probably the leader) killed me again. And again. And again again again again. I just respawned, ran happily playing my flute and placed myself right infront of him to taunt him. He attacks, i use all my cc's to keep the fight going, kiting him around the island etc etc. Well, later on he dies in a big fight, which puts him in court. Jury see's all the murders, sentence him to 84 minutes, and i keep on playing my flute on freedich.

A good night spent on freedich.

Gravoth gives 0 fucks and isn't of anything

[Gravoth_iii]

Hehe, best times are had when out of labor and just messing around with people.

Also decided my build/playstyle, songcraft mainly with some vitalism healing and witchcraft cc. The music buffs are so incredibly strong its crazy, it doubles my defences, has a decent heal ticking for everyone around, attack speed +20% and damage +24% and ofcourse the amazing movementspeed 24%. Very enjoyable support, and very tough to take down, all i need is a shield and a decent healing weapon.
