Financial woes of a young caster...

[ineubis]

Playing on Green. I'm currently a level 6 halfling druid.

Level 1 spells are 1gp each, level 5 spells are 5gp 3sp or something, level 9 spells are 5pp each...

I was on top of my game and acquired all of my level 1 spells (except a few I've had on other druids and have never used, I'm not interested in wasting money to have a complete spellbook at this time), bought only the necessities for lvl 5 (no low level AOEs), and wanted to start collecting lvl 9 spells.... but 5pp each? damn... that's a lot of rat whiskers and beetle legs.... about 10 trips back to town to sell after filling up my bags.

Other than my spells I have purchased 2 backpacks, and some food and drink. I have 3 pieces of looted cloth armor and my noobie club.

The whole point of this is I read a lot of "my [melee] class is very gear dependant, while a naked caster is basically the same just with less mana" etc., and I wanted to point out these crucial levels, where casters literally msut scrape every copper piece together to save for new spells. While the melee are probably already rocking full sets of visible armor already, I'm trying to save up all day for one spell that I can use 3 levels from now.

That is all. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
