The nice thing is there's no wrong answer. You can build a character on the cheap that has probably eighty or ninety per cent the power of one decked out in expensive droppables. On the other hand, you might as well buy the expensive stuff if you happen to have nothing you'd rather spend the platinum on. Cash in the bank does a player no good, and in most cases (haste items for sure) you can always re-sell later. Such items can be regarded more as a rental than a permanent cash sink.

Pretty much.

It'd be fun to start a challenge, like the Solo Artist's Challenge, only call it the Cheapskate Challenge and see who can create the most effective builds with only 10k. Rank it on things like HP, AC, Mana, ATK, DPS depending on class.

I'd get both and consider it a one time respec charge. I usually run dps spec.

Naw. It's overrated. I spent years watching people lose their mind over junk like dragon hero bracers, etc, etc. Yeah for the timeline, 50 hp is pretty good... but you're buying a haste item. Rest of the stats make zero difference. If you can save a considerable bit of plat getting the primary stat that matters in the game for a melee, I'd say go for it.

That's what I have noticed too, it seems people really can get hung up on one particular item to the point they will even neglect other slots that could be upgraded just to try to fit one particularly expensive item onto their toon.

I don't think it's worth pouring your savings into one item like a COF. The only item I view that might be worth it would be a fungi tunic. I have seen nearly naked toons wearing a fungi and decent weapons only, and they do quite well. The regen on a fungi tunic is quite powerful.

Haste/regen/weapon are about the only worthwhile things to spend money on in P99. Everything else is literally borderline meaningless.

it would annoy the crap out of me as a pure melee to wear a cloak with 50 mana on it when it could ( and should ) be 50 hps

the end.
