[zagibu]

I'm currently wearing all-mail armor with a heater shield and a scottish sword (total cost ~10k). I think I had to pay 2k upkeep and made more than 10k, so I think I can afford a much better weapon. Many of my kills were with looted weapons .

Tunic, 23g?
Ankle Wrappings, 50g?
Leather gloves, 59g
Long hafted blade, (hasn't broken after 20 rounds)

On my mounted HA I was using steppe horse, aketon, felt cap, leather boots and gloves, exceptional light crossbow, steel bolts x 2, tempered longsword. Was gaining money - and I got quite a bit of playtime with that outfit. Gained quite a bit.

On my spearman/lancer I'm using a palfrey (7.5K), balanced heavy lance (4.4k base), deadly warspear (2.5k base), a kite shield (1k gold), and tribal leather (1.5K) + nordic fighter helm (+1.5K) + some leather gloves and boots (+0.5K). Making money on it too.

[Keshian]

War bow, heirloomed bodkin arrows, heirloomed mail gauntlets, santa hat, nomad robe and leather boots - made about 5-7.5K per hour depending on consecutiveness of the wins.

[Tungsten]

Flamberge, 7.5k
Hourglass gauntlets 2k

[Zanthos]

Equipment Cost: 22502 gold

Repair is on auto.

Having absolutely no problems making money so far since last night. I've spent a few thousand on items and I'm still up a good bit so far. Not monitoring it closely but it seems like I'm gaining faster than pre-patch.

[panderson]

My heavy cata cost me 8900 upkeep when I accidentally put it on at the start of a round.  If I take it off of my default equipment, it disappears on the server, so I want to keep it as default in case I need it. 

Unfortunately that causes occasional losses of 9k gold.
