still worth to buy ssoys, fbss for 12k?

[guineapig]

Going by the classic timeline Sky should be released roughly 2-3 months before Kunark.

So I guess it depends on if Kunark is actually coming out in October or not. If so, the Sky will not be released till somewhere in August (late July at the earliest)

That is assuming we are shooting for a classic timeline.

Either way, it's quite a bit longer than a couple weeks.
Of course the timeline has been fudged up in the past.

Well look at GEBS, i've seen like 4 people auctioning for them recently, all paying 10k. If you had a pair, why sell it to one of the people for 10k when you could sell them for more and because of the demand one of these people is bound to offer more.

I've seen quite a few ssoys for sale, where as fbss is much rarer. 12k for an fbss would probably be quite decent at the moment i'd say.

I'd probably still buy an FBSS if I had the cash, even after sky. I don't have time for raids.

I don't even think I made 12K plat in 5 years playing on live [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Where's everyone get all this money!?

Well, for one thing, coin drops and the vendor value of items seem to be bit higher on this server than they were on Live ~1999.

Additionally, players know more about where to farm and what to kill to maximize loot gain than they did in 1999 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

well, there was and still is no rocket science involved here. just go kill giants or specs

[Bumamgar]

Never claimed it was rocket science... All I said is that the players on p99 have more knowledge of how to earn plat than your average player on a live server in 1999.

A guy on live paid me and others each 20k an hour to help him ae nuke stuff in an ae group in Plane of Fire. We were outside his ae group, they out damaged us of course. Anytime I'd need some cash I'd go for an hour.

You can hunt in SolA starting at around level 22, and the mobs there all drop fine steel and gems, as well as plenty of named mobs.

Buy weight reducing bags, always have 6 or 7 bags, get used to being overweight, buy a gem from a merchant when you have too much copper/silver and sell it back, hunt in dungeons not outdoors, don't be in a rush to sell that cool item you just won the /random for, wait for a good price, pay attention to the auction channel, get to know the market and make a lot of PCs, look for high levels looking to offload loot quickly and resell it at a higher value, hunt sand/hill giants as soon as you can for as long as you can... the list goes on.

I never made much plat either, but then again I always play a Warrior and we can't exactly solo much.
