Sigh

I managed to scrape together enough money to get Melonni equipped to do the "requires Melonni" quests tonight, but now my quest log is empty and I'm up to a mission that requires Margrid. I guess I'll need to get another loan next time I play to get her equipped.

I beginning to compromise my original vision too - I set out to "play normally", but I'm not. Looking at that debt listing on my blog is making me scrimp and save. I haven't bought a new skill in ages because I knew these two hero requirements were coming up and I had to save for them. I think from tomorrow's session, I'm going to have to try to forget the debt listing and just buy skills as they are required.

Good news and Bad News

I hit another impasse today. I had completed all availble quests that didn't require heroes, and the two remaining that did required Melloni and Koss - the two heroes that I had not yet equipped. 4 of the available quests required Koss and 1 required Melloni so I opted to equip Koss.

Once again I did not have anywhere near enough money to buy his basic equipment and once again I had to dip into storage to avoid breaking the no farming rule. This time it was only for a 5k top up thankfully.

On the upside, 14 days in I did pick up MY FIRST PURPLE DROP!!! I thought this was pretty bad till I recalled to my very first time though prophesies and I got my first purple drop in Maguma which took twice as long to reach. The lovely thing is, with nightfall's drop system this R10 Purple barbed axe is inscibable and max damage so its practically as good as a crafted item, provided I can find an inscription of course :)

You shall not pass!

I've reached the point where the game is balanced for characters equipped with basic gear, but I'm nowhere near fully equipped. Ordinarily, I would go back and farm money to afford it, however this blog is supposed to illustrate monetary concerns without farming... which leaves me at somewhat of an impasse.

To continue forward, I've decided to give myself an interest free loan of 70k from storage that can be used to get the basic equipment together. As I progress I will pay loan back when there is free gold in the bank (I hope!).

Not even close!

I reached the docks and max armour today... unfortunately I didn't have enough gold to get even a single piece. With the looming cost of armour, I played with the same build as I used yesterday too (dullsville!).

I still have a few quests on newbie island which cover some of the cost, but I'm highly doubtful I'll have the requisite equipment to do the mainland by the time I reach it... but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

I'm Back!

Well, its been a while since I was able to get on to Guildwars, but boy was it good to be back :). I'd almost forgotten how to play lol. Anyways, there wasn't much to speak of today, did a few quests, picked up some stuff.
