What to do with 50k?

[kelsoider]

Hello! I've been leveling/farming on my mage(59) on blue, and I'm getting close to having 50k in the bank. Already bought CotH and I don't think my epic will ever happen, so I was wondering what to do next. I was thinking about buying a fungi and rolling a monk or shaman but I wanted to know what everyone else thought.

-Buy convenience items (lev cloak, tink bags, jboots, etc)
-Upgrade your weakest piece of gear
-Buy loot rights to a Staff of Elemental Mastery: Water
-Invest in root clickies

Just a few off the top of my head, and ignoring the obvious twink an alt.

Donate it to Swish.

a fungi with no other twink gear is kinda pointless honestly

either keep saving so you can at least afford a good weapon and some hp gear for an alt or use the money to improve your main

[Sodors Finest Poster]

Well, other twink gear to fill out a melee wont cost that much more in the grand scheme of how much a fungi costs. Save like 20k more or w/e.

i disagree. he can knock out plenty of levels with just a fungi and the other items you accumulate over time. his dps may be lower than a full twink, but still a constant pace for killing. in all honestly it will just be slightly slower leveling, but can still be done.


if fungi is not want he really wants to purchase then id suggest looking for what items he has that needs the best upgrades and look on wiki for what can be purchased.

For another 5k you can make a really decent monk twink with a fungi. Jade mace, knuckle dusters, IFS, wu's etc. something that makes a monk twink really fun imo is a couple tinker bags and large soiled bag. I enjoy soloing and looting, makes for a more enjoyable exp.

[Sodors Finest Poster]

Well if he does buy a fungi for a twink he really should consider saving another few k to buy a haste item (no need to go crazy, fbss or that velks haste gloves will work) and some cheap staples (ac/hp rings, basic armor, weapons which cost maybe 500-1k each).

Anything more than that will have diminished returns for plat spent.

1) Buy MQs/Gems for your Velious class armor
2) Save for Epic (I know you think it's out of reach, but w/o cash it's REALLY out of reach most likely)
3) J boots - can camp this but GL getting the camp, its a pain.
4) Fungi would be an OK investment....or you can just go camp one since your 59?

I know casters are not very gear dependent, but part of the fun of EQ is decking your main out to the teeth...however if you buy a Fungi or CoF or some other item that isnt no drop you can liquidate it back for PP (or even a gain)

The only piece of Mage epic that is likely out of reach is the Earth Staff. A 59 Mage having to pay for his Water staff is sacrilege though. Phini can be duo'd by 2 Mages. Make a few Mage friends, go get a timer on Phini, and start farming him for yourself.

I got my friend his staff just a few weeks ago by simply hanging around Phini's lair near repop time, helping the current farmers out however I could, keeping the timer, and making friends with the others that showed up. I was technically 3rd in line to get the Staff but you know what? The 2 Mages in front of me one night both decided it was getting too late and neither of them wanted to wait around. Guess what dropped that night? Case in point, you can't loot any item you want unless you're in the zone when the mob dies.

If you want some tips on how to get started on farming your water staff hit me up. I found it to be a pretty fun week or so of farming him and it isn't very time consuming at all. Once you have his timer you just show up 10-15 mins before his pop time and get into position. No need to poopsock or spend ridiculous amounts of time waiting around.

Buy 50K worth of lotto tickets in EC and hope for the best

Should get a Hiero for your mage if you dont already have. Some other nice caster armor floating around thats pretty solid for you as well like Netted Kelp pants.

I have Coldain Skin boots you can buy :)

Kelsoider,

If you are unable to decide on the best use of your savings, you may entrust it with me and rest easily with the knowledge that it has been put to the best use possible in reclaiming the throne of my homeland. The choice is yours friend!

[Scrapiron]

buy 100,000 bone chips

[Gumbo]

Oh sure... Brag about having 50k in platinum.

Why not donate some of it to me and I can brag along with you or brag to people that you donated the amount to me and I can brag about you...

[Scrapiron]

Buy a halfling man servant and name him 'Woodhouse'

[iruinedyourday]

Fungi tunic for monk or shaman you wont regret it

you might regret the shaman when you realize the cost of spells outweighs the return of pixels any sane person could possibly farm :P

I agree with this stuff mostly.

Is your mage a dark elf? Fuckn get the helot skull helm for that sweet skull helm graphic.. get a crimson robe of arudine for that sweet rainbow robe looking graphic.. get a Insignia protector for that sweet golden shield and just throw on some boots of fire for those cool ass orange shoes... once you get your epic youll look so fucking awesome like this:

On of my time travel bucketlist achievements in life would be traveling back in time naming my charter Skittles rolling a darkelf mage and getting all teh gearz and becoming an EQ vintage legend.

Leveling a Monk with a Fungi tunic is pretty awesome. Leveling is a breeze. Might be a nice change of pace. You can group if you want to. The nice thing is, more or less no matter what happens or what is going on, as long as you have the fungi you can keep going, the hp regen is great. If you like to solo, you can go to obscure places that groups never go to like Dalnir or Kaesora is great xp when you get late 30s.

[kelsoider]

Lol wow great suggestions. Thanks for the info Zorlon; I'll definitely hit you up. I was wondering; does the focus staff just increase pet hp like the torch n such?

I have jboots so I'm set there. Don't really need a lev cloak as if I need lev I have a ring summoning spell. Weightless bags would be a good idea. Especially if I decide to roll a monk.
So far I'm leaning towards a fungi monk or the halfling manservant.

As far as I remember the torch/broom/shovel/stein do not affect level 50+ pets whatsoever.

You must wield a focus staff to give them innate perks

Yeah no effect. I was wondering what effect the staff had; i.e. More hp/damage/ac

The best robe in the game comes from a 50k purchase. Buy a mage doll, spend some time in PoM farming catds and get that amazing amazing robe graphic. It's as much of a symbol on this server as the mage epic. I get tells every time I play from people asking me "is that THE robe?"

[Maschenny]
