Game of Bones.8975 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Do you stick to materials and items for everyday gaming (50g or less), do you go for the big time purchases (>100s of Gems)?Nothing in the store looks even remotely good enough to buy.

Goettel.4389 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 QoL items and skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I used to buy almost everything during the first 4-5 years of the game.Now...nothing really. The occasional skin, but that's maybe a couple of purchases a year. I can't really justify the prices anymore given I could use the money for actual full games and rpg books. Then again, the game also doesn't grab my time in the same way as it used to. Which is a combination of a dissatisfaction in the direction of the game and also a realisation Ive played it way too much anyway and I've prob burned out a little. I still play every week, but in short bursts. As a result, I feel less like I;m getting moneys worth out of things so highly priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poormany.4507 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Items that are too annoying for me to get, such as those that require once a day materials (charged quartz crystal, Skyscale food, Growth Lamps, etc.) Cheap weapon and armor skins that I needed for the skin collection achievement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 For me it’s QoL items. Always with gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAHNeunzehnsechundsiebzig. Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 gemstore: keys mostly. Buy the gems with real money. Occasionally a skin, if I really like it. trading post: materials that I am too lazy to gather or just need a lot of RIGHT NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know when the last time I showed a back item, let alone one of the quivers, was probably 3-6 months after the purchase.If I had Warbringer (or Warcry) that might be a different story.

Daddicus.6128 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Quality of life items. Bag and bank slots, character slots, shared inventory slots, garden plots, that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I thought I'd buy an equipment loadout slot or two for Christmas, but against all expectations they aren't on sale, so I won't buy anything else from the Gem Store. I already own way too many mount skins, so any new mount skin licenses are of no interest to me, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gop.8713 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Can't tell if the op is asking about gem store or tp, but gemstore it's always storage, and only when I have gold I can't find a use for and gem prices are low. TP it's just kind of w/e. I have buy orders in on dyes and skins rn, just bc they're cheap and I don't have them . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batel.9206 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Gemstore: character slots, when I actually have the gold to convert to gems...they're so expensive, even on sale. But, as an incorrigible RP-wannabe and altoholic, I can never have enough. I'd like to buy mount skins[1] and outfits, but it's either that or character slots, so...Trading post: dyes...occasionally gear (usually for the skins, not the actual gear itself)...that's about it.[1]Problem is, the one mount skin I really want is locked behind that first RNG-only license. Boo. :( Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I forgot to mention that another reason why I won't buy any more mount skins is the insane pricing for the selection ones. You'd think stuff would be on sale during Christmas, but noooo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Gem store: I've bought small amounts of lots of QoL things over the years, 8 character slots, 6 bank tabs, an extra bag slot for my main character...But I probably spend more on mini pets, mount skins, outfits and other cosmetics. Only things I don't buy are consumables like transmutation charges or revive orbs, I get enough of them from in-game sources.Trading post: whatever I want and can't be bothered farming. I recently bought literally thousands of mithril and elder wood for the Claw of the Khan-Ur, and gem stones for the amalgamated gems. I buy mini pets when I'm not saving gold for a big purchase, and go through phases of buying dyes or skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otto.5684 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I probably spent 4-5k gold changing to gems and buying stuff from the store.I do not have anything that I currently want to buy from the store. I already have a couple of glider and mount skins. I will not buy any additional ones. I very rarely buy outfits. I want to buy more shares slots. I already have 9. So it is an unneeded luxury. I would buy armors, if they are ever added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elothar.4382 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Mostly utility items (primers, XP buffs, perpetual gathering tools, etc.) and vanity items (glider skins, selected mount skins, maybe a weapon skin or two). When they are on sale, I might pick up a few character slots or bag slots. I've maxed out my bank tabs and shared slots. Otherwise, I just keep an eye out for new things.

Funky.4861 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 BL keys and mount skins i think are what i buy mostly from gemstore (usually RL money). From the TP i tend to only buy things if i'm making a lege and i'm a bit short on mats, otherwise i use it to flip items for variable profit.
