or, ITT: noob questions about money with a few general questions mixed in.

First off; 1. what constitutes being "rich"? In the literal sense, i've heard people saying that 10m+ is considered rich, others say that "2m+" is rich, et al. Theoretically, I imagine that being 'rich' would be when you have enough money to afford all your equips and live comfortably, so when is that in general?

In relation to that; I am a level 15 Evie, I am planning to go Scythe with Cloth armor. I own a Scarlet Witch Set that I bought for 30k and spent ~5k dyeing and so far i'm satisfied. As far as spending money goes, amidoingitrite? Apart from weapons, how much should I expect to spend? I imagine i'll want to buy a Rose Drop top and maybe a different hat and shoes. I guess I would want to upgrade and enchant stuff, but i'm so not getting into that right now.

2. How do people make money? Most of what i've made has come through quests, mostly the storyline ones [the ones that make you spam boats, amirite?]. I also sell the drops that I can buy from NPC's [but i've kept stuff like my Gnoll Leathers, etc].

I've run some non-quest related boats, and the gold is okay, but I can't imagine how people can have well over 1m in gold. I assume that higher/harder boats give loads more gold. [The AP is pretty pitiful, though.]

more random questions.

1. Can you de-rank skills? I ranked my Cloth Armor Mastery a bit higher than I wanted to. It's not that huge of a deal, but I was curious.

2. Is getting a Karok to level 20 worth it for the three dye ampoules? I got from level 8 to 15 in a matter of 2~4 hours on my Evie, so I can't imagine leveling to 20 to be too hard.

k that's all I feel like bothering y'awl with for now, gracias mucho ~

1. Prices fluctuate. A lot of mats are being poured into the tidal wave of Karoks though, so expect some prices to be fairly high. Rich is in the eye of the beholder, if you ever read through some of the +13-+15 weapon threads on the Nexon forums, you'll see offers going well over 100m. However, I've only needed about 20m or so for my current set. Honestly I'd farm for mats yourself, it gives you more experience (as in experience of actually fighting some bosses), which is always a good thing.

2. Money is usually made by either grinding certain missions (I'm sure some people know this better then I do), or mats that are in high demand. However, you need to be at least Lv. 50 (for Hero to farm high demand enchants), or at Boat 6/7 (to farm Titan/Thor or Shiny Leathers and the like) to make money quickly. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Other methods are indirect NX selling, also known as dye selling.

1. Nope.
2. If you're willing to put the time in for it, it's fairly easy to do. I actually only took about 8 hours or so to get from Lv. 1 - 24 on a fresh Karok. You could sell a pure black dye for 3m. Again, it's up to you if you feel the 3 dyes are worth it. Be aware that 3 is not enough to dye a full outfit though.

I would agree with 2m+ being "rich" Because by the time you hit 60's with the amount of gold from runs + quests You'd be way above that, or should be.

I only spent 20m on my evie for her end-game sets, and that's including a +11 wep rakum from a guildie & both BF + Vehemence sets. as for my fiona, I've taken the extra mile and went fusion crazy, throw in dyes and its 60m total investment for the entire set, but once again

*70% Of that cost was NOT necessary* to acquire that set.

As long as you can afford feathers, potions, repairs, and have a little extra money in the bank to prepare yourself for patches or emergencies. I think everything is A-OK.
