You seem to be stuck on "consistently" replenishing it.

How often do you play? Every night? A few hours?

How often are you in an indoor dungeon or grouped with a shaman, druid or ranger?

Answer those questions yourself. Then think each dose of a SoW potion lasts 36min. You won't need them indoors or when you're grouped with players who can cast it.

If you played exclusively outdoors and 3 hours a night every night (21 a week) and you always needed to be SoW'd and you only soloed, never grouping with someone who could SoW you. That would cost you 420pp a week to stay SoW'd.

The thing is, most players often travel to and exp in dungeons where you can't SoW or JBoot. Most players often don't need to be running fast when they are in a group at a static camp in an outdoor zone. Many players favor grouping over soloing and at your level 3/14 classes can cast SoW and 2 of those 3 are the most common on the server.

In actuality you probably won't even use more than 200pp a week even playing every day for 3 hours when all that is factored in.
I play daily, ranges from a couple hours to many. I'm always outdoors as I'm generally leveling in Mistmoore as of late, and not many indoor dungeons are busy enough to find groups (SolA, Paw).

I usually solo, however. Mainly because I'm not a fan of staying LFG for long as if I have free time, I'd like to progress my levels and not waste time. I was in Rathe Mountains for a few levels, for example.

200pp a week is still a decent chunk of change. That's the point I'm trying to make. SoW potions are great but they wouldn't replace the functionality of JBoots. FS stuff weighs lots, so does small bronze. They only sell for 3-5p at vendor, and if I want to make any money off the bronze, I need to hit EC, which takes time. Money drops off mobs is inconsequential since it ranges from 5g to 1p. I might get lucky and score a Garg Eye or 2. But anyway, 200pp-400p per week just on SoW pots isn't feasible. Well, it COULD be, but then I'd be saving probably nothing to very little to further develop my character.

EDIT: Giant Skels in Rathe were decent as they dropped about 2p per skel, but never any weapons or anything. I'd sell the bone chips for 10p a stack. That's generally where I was able to save some coin since it was consistent. However, at 33, it's not as good of a level spot any longer. It's ok but fear kiting skels for 3 levels makes you very jaded about doing it more. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
