I'm the one who said that. It does add up if you aren't constantly spending your money on alts. I said that because I'm the nearest person in this thread to you, probably: I loathe raiding as a mode of gameplay, barely do it, and mostly I duo with the wife or occasionally solo or group with friends.

Sure you could farm guards until you want to die. Yuck! I wouldn't, to me that sounds like a good way to start hating the game, but there are people who somehow manage to do that for long periods. There's another way. If you and your trio stick around, eventually you'll be able to do numerous areas that drop items worth 10K, 20K, etc. Suddenly saving up a decent chunk of platinum during the course of normal gameplay spread over several years doesn't sound so impossible. I didn't say buy a crown next month. If you're still here circa 2030, you'll have one if you want one. Seems like a long time? Check out my join date. I've been here 13 years and counting, 10+ years at level 60 on my shadow knight, doing exactly the same type of content you intend to do. If I wanted a crown I'd have one. It's only un-obtainable if you're effectively a "P99 tourist" who won't stick around all that long. Otherwise, yes, it's a matter of time.

In the meantime, you don't need a crown. I half suspect some folks on this board are so used to overpowering everything with zerg raid forces and high-end loot that they've forgotten what it's like to play the game normally. Locustlure for your Rogue is a good suggestion. Maybe a tash stick or two for your trio. Stuff like that is affordable and will increase your trio's ceiling. Most of all, get levels. More levels = more capability.

I don't write off raiding only because the time it takes, I write it off because it's NOT FUN and I'd rather jab myself in the hand with a fork than spend several days a week doing that type of awful content.
