I don't. After years on blue I was bored with the raiding, bored with obsessives minmaxing every little nigh meaningless detail they can come up with, bored with boasts about gear, bored with boasts about low number kills, just... bored. I quit playing p99 a couple months before green launched, and probably wouldn't have started again if not for the plague. Green's fun, will probably get boring eventually, but not yet.

Even the mail quests give gold, do it enough times you will get pp for spells and xp. Ask some random person in EC, hey I need 10pp for spells, cant afford yet.

When you're under level 12 you are broke all the time, that's the way things are. Money comes with levels. Tons of the rich level 50's you see on green started out being broke as hell and not being able to afford all their spells back in November, with no one out there paying plat for bone chips. It can be done. Yes there's a bigger market for certain lowbie things on green, but the path to money has always just been leveling up. Get to 40+ and you'll see all that fine steel to vendor for plat.

Hey don't scare me, I'm playing slow and enjoying the trip, not rushing toward latest levels, with 4 toons and limited time, I will be in 40 in several years. Or later [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No it is all good, I will find some one to unload bone chips to, nice way or with force LMAO!

And I started to see some life too, two lvl3 players, nice, and Elvma (from Kitties) come by and buffed us all up. Thank you, Elvma! She offered money too, but I was not going to be greedy, so I politely refused it. Crushbone on green is constantly crowded. I will probably have easiest harvesting time on Blue. (in a month or three lol)

If I could give you one bit of advice, take the money or any other items/assistance offered by high level players. It's not being greedy (as long as you thank them). Like everyone has basically said, at low levels on your first character, it's hard to get money. We all know that and that's likely why they offered.

I remember when i first started out, a kind person giving me a Black Alloy Longsword and 50 plat was game changing. To that person giving you the gift, it's generally nothing. It may seem like a large sum of money to you but when folks are out there paying tens or hundreds of thousands of plat for high end items, that 30 or 50 plat they may be offering you is insignificant to them.

It's like giving a couple bucks to a kid in an undeveloped country, nothing to you but big to them. It's all about perspective. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

OK will do.

But I think I'm good now. I sold 1 stack of bone chips and from Kobolds I got lots of vendor trash that I have now over 20 platina and about to ding 8. So I probably have for most important spells for playing 8-11 harvesting CB belts which i will use for leveling.

At lvl11 I will go to Minotaurs, I tried with my Druid on Green and no problem, Magician should be even easier. There drops axes for 3 platina. Those axes should give me platina for lvl 12 spells. After that, I'm good, then money gets easier. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Besides, I have stack or two of bone chips and spider silk with me, just in case I see someone buying them... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
