Money troubles?

Chaos · Post by **Chaos** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 12:11 am

It makes sense that equipment is going to cost more as you progress in the game but for me its getting a bit ridiculous. To upgrade 1 weapon to lvl. 7 you have to pay something like 11000 and armor alone costs like 7000(gauntlets lets say 5000). So bring a group of 8 up to par we're looking at around 180,000 and that's not taking into account accessories and if you still can't decide who you want in your main party. I'm just a little annoyed seeing as I just upgraded a short while ago...spent almost all my cash...fought ONE battle...and now I need 180,000. Quests are suppose to help with this but everybody seems to be failing rank B quests(people at lvl. 30).

Anyone else having money troubles?

Yeah, I had the same problem. It really doesn't take long if you do the hunting quest for Chiepoo. Like the one in Terana Plain. By the time you have 10 furball pelts you should have enough money to have upgraded everyones weapons , armor, and accessories. As a matter of fact, that's what I did and right now I have 8 pelts and only need to upgrade 3 more people.

Another thing, you might want to sell some of your useless items. Also, sell the armor that your party is equipping as down payment, so to speak, on newer armor.

Yeah I kinda forgot to sell old equipment

. I figured that when you go
"try on" at the outfitter, it sells your old equipment and subtracts that amount from the cost of the new equipment(I'm gullible I guess).

just to clarify, you mean we should sell those furball pelts? or we will have that much money by hunting?

10 furball pelts are required for a Chiepoo Quest, 5 are needed for the X and Co quest.

Characters don't carry over. Neither does equipped equipment!

And, no, I didn't meant to sell those pelts. I said to keep them for Chiepoo's quest.

I'm almost positive about equipped equipment passing over. The guide supports this, but it could be wrong.

I second that, I've heard/read from many sources that they pass over. Than again, I have the memory of a goldfish...so let's just hope that the equipment comes with you.

I"ve heard that it passes over, just now when it's equipped. I heard the equipped armor returns to default.

If you're really having money trouble, collect a lot of rare items, and place them on what would be the best looking female character. Go to Merceto, talk to everyone in gossip, than razril, and do the same. Go to Obel, and there will be a mystery man in the gossip section. he is a pimp.

Your character can now sell their body for cash.

I swear

Actually, Ogre Breath is an arm/wrist equipment.

Also, you find Dragon Fins in Obel Ruins level 5 I believe.
