State of the Economy: Ingame

To any new players: don't be intimidated by the crazy prices of high end items. Low end/mid tier stuff is CHEAP and as deajay said usually nearly as effective as the BiS item.

By the time you reach the 50's you will be getting plenty of high priced drops if you spend any time leveling in a dungeon, or you can farm gems if you're a soloer. I made a conscious decision once to not spend any plat for a month, and without even really trying I had 30k at the end of it, allowing me to buy my barb spiritist hammer. It does add up quickly.

Dupes or not, you can get what you want on this server. It's all about your time commitment and playing somewhat smart.

ya while i agree with the OP about insane prices part of it is people want omfg the best only and the benefit is people dont give a shit about stuff I used to scrape and save to equip my guys with. Shit most people wont even bother selling stuff thats valued under 1k pp so new players can get pretty good twink just from handouts that NEVER were handed out on eqlive.
