The "what did you spend you meseta on" topic

[SolomonGrundy]

Use this topic to post about you recent purchases from player shops. Feel free to include any detail as to why you made your purchase:


Like a lot of folks lately, I have been saving meseta, trying to figure out what's going to become cheap during the 1UP cup, or when AoI comes.

Buuuut...sometimes you can't help yourself.

The good:
1.2 million
24% light weldline. I don't care if we are getting rabol rappy with 25% light, I have more than character, and this one needed a light armor with an extra slot. Fortefighter's don't have a ton of options until 8*

The 'meh':
310k
38% light ageha-senba. Let's just say I had higher hopes. I thought this would give me damage immunity vs level 65 golormo's with deband and jellen. It doesn't, so I pretty much wasted my meseta.


The unknown:
600k
50% fire gigaline. Yes a crappy B rank armor. But when I see 50% for under a million on the 360 server, I hop on it. Should make soloing de regan/onmagog a cinch. I know another guy that has one, and he takes zero's from a lot of enemies that pummel me.

[RedMussel]

i had like 3 mil and somehow spent it all on making a pure range bot by using G traps (be for the de ragens breath came out) and a pure striking bot

[IsoDonk]

Instead of buying weapons and armour and useful stuff with my first 500-odd k, I spent it on the Sonic/Tails/Knuckles/Amy statues. Then I realised I only had a Mayrod and a load of cheap tat to my name http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

The good: 10% light Jogiri, 50k
The bad: 16% ground Gudda Waya, 20k (doesn't do any more damage than my 20% 4*)
The unknown: Having no idea what to spend my current 400k on

[AerisZeal]

I was trying to save too... But the other night I found myself face-to-face
with a 38% Ice Crea Doubles... I'm 23 million meseta poorer now. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Soulvayne]

Hmm. Spent 4.6 mil on a Solid /Power S and 1 mil on 2 Phantoms (2).

Though I've still saved up nearly 3 mil on my character at this time.

[Nyreal]

I bought a Burning Rangers poster.

It was so worth it. >_>;

Ha ha ha ha-


-yeah, me too. >_>;

[XenithFlare]

Excellent:

+10 Ank Pikor 18% Dark -- 1mil

Good:

Hirokteri -- 15mil

Good (but crappy now that I look back on it):

Ank Dedda -- 15mil + aforementioned Hirokteri

Let's just say that my careful plan of selling 65mil worth of stuff and saving for AoI went horribly, horribly wrong very quickly. =( Now I have to deal with the gf yelling at me for spending the money I just got back XD

[Nyreal]

At least your girlfriend cares. My girlfriend hates the fact that I even play PSO.

Damned PSO Purist. XD

[Dragon_Knight]

How you people get that 65 mil to start with is beyond me...my shops are lost in the sea of storage and insane prices, I'm ever so lucky to sell some Di photons and ebons. No one buys anything else I can sell.

Anyway all totaled my meseta count is probably in the range of 600k. And there just isn't anything worth buying at this point that I could afford. Best I've done is a Asclon+5 with a 30% lightning for 50K. Everything else...well its just out of my price range.

[ShadowDragon28]

I barely sale anything now too, just Di and Ray photons. I buy a couple 8 * or 9 * weapons and now all I've got is a little over 1 mill total.

I had more months ago, but several failed synths on a pure strike PM. >_<
A lot of my meseta got ate up trying to replace half of the materials lost or buying replacement a-rank weapon boards.

[XenithFlare]

Yeah, my gf plays PSU, too. =P Between the two of us, we have three accounts. One for our mains, one for alts so that we can play simultaneously, and one for X360. Ie: reasonable prices/store-bought S-ranks XD

How'd I get 65mil? Well, it's a lengthy story that began with me finding a SPS on accident, and trading that, and trading what I got there for other stuff, and so on and so forth... until I acquired a 26% Lightning Deva-Zashi, which I sold for 30mil. Then I sold my +10 Phantom (also acquired in a trade) for 15mil. Those keeping track will note that this equals 45million meseta.

The other 20mil I earned through my shop, selling rare mats, grinded B-weapons, grinded A-rank guns, and photons. It took a while, but the weapons helped break the barrier.

And of course now I'm left with about 20-30. Damns AoI...

[Kamiense]

I spent my money on Zalure disks for my PM. Stupid money sink. ; ;

[SAtaarcoeny]

well i spent 270 mill from the 360 version on $5,400 in real life stuff for me and my girl.... so i think i win this topic for being the smartest with my meseta....

[Genoa]

Crozara (7) 20k
Hikauri (8) 75k
Ank Pikor 28% Ice 200k (during the time Ice weapons were still the most desired)

When I'm looking for something, I go through EVERYONE'S shop who owns one before making a decision, remembering each shop name that I consider as I go down the list.

Bitter irony.

1. (obligatory) Apparently not smart enough to know only to hit "Submit" once.
2. If you earned 270mil on 360 in the first place, that's very depressing.
3. Being "smart" and "engaging in illegal activities" are two different things. In fact... I'm pretty sure those are two opposite things...

[Skuda]

Nothing.

I've been saving http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

... well, untill I find a decently priced Fuka-Misaki, which isn't bound to happen anytime soon...

[Gunslinger-08]

I bought a sniper last night for 800! (My first night playing ^_^)

If you're not going to play PSU anymore, I think it's a decent idea to just sell your meseta. Might as well get some money if you're not going to use that lovely digital currency anymore.

[amtalx]

I don't buy much. Just healing items to get by and the occasional 9*, when I don't feel like making my myself. I have all the S-ranks that aren't unreasonably priced/impossible to find. I need some good Lightning armor though...

[e_Tard]

Lately I haven't been buying much, just a few 18-22% 8* and 9* FF/FG weapons here and there.

Of course there was that complete failure of my beam vulcanic project last week... failed 7/9 of the synths then broke both of the surviving ones grinding 2-->3... seriously weaksauce... Thx PSU! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_rant.gif

Last time I spent a good amount of money was a few months ago when I went on a synthing / gridning spree. Dropped 5 mil, and ended up with 3x Phantom (5), 2x Phantom (4), 2x Shigga Bines(4), 3x Drumline (3), 3x Cubo Mamba (4), 4x howrod (5), 2x Ulteri (3), 3x Mira-Kikami (3), 2x Majimra (3). Not too bad if you ask me.

[F-Gattaca]

Well, for the most part, I've been trying to SELL things in my shop for people to buy. PM food/lowbie weapons, elemental photons, ore and metal ... no one's been biting as of late. Curses!

Though, as my off-main Raul DiUragano, the most recent things I bought from a player's store were Moatoob Primitive Idols and a Gi-Senba, both items were priced at bargain basement values (the Idols were around 1000 meseta and the Gi-Senba was below the NPC price).

[gryphonvii]

I bought a 14% light weldline for 150k which I will probably give to one of my lower characters when I get rabol rappy, I will get all my s ranks during the cup event to, I'm hoping. If I don't find anything during that time, I probably am not meant to have anything.

Lol ok. Pretend to be rich off PSU. If your going to lie you should of at least said 50 Mil to make it a little believable.

Anyway...

2.75 Mil on Hard / Power Charge
4 Mil on [B] Sweet Death (Back when it was still new)
7.5 Mil on Crea Doubles

[XenithFlare]

I didn't say it wasn't a useful idea to sell your meseta. I just said it was illegal. Which it is. Still isn't smart.

e_Tard; if you were on ps2, I could help you out. XD I've got about 8 +4 Beam Vulcanics back from when I was levelling mechgun PAs... For some reason, I had REALLY good luck synthing those suckers...

[-Aurora-]

I gave most of my mesta to either friends or strangers http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

You know you can buy the 7* 31% fire for 210k at NPC...

[Darkly]

For some reason, whenever i save up any money at all i blow it all on some scheme to get rich quick.

Never works.

But i'll keep trying dammit.

I already own it. 50%>>31% especially since it has a body slot. Also the equiping requirements on the 5* armor means my alt (a protranser), can use it MUCH ealier.

[mizukage]

WOW!! I thought it is extremely difficult to earn meseta in the online, yet you people are so wealthy. In the extra mode, I only get about 30k per 10-min run. Supposedly, if I do 100 runs, I will get 3mil, but after 10 runs or so, I usually fall asleep. Jeez! Meseta is best spent on A-rank and S-rank goods, such as weaponry and armory.

[panzer_unit]

Best purchase I ever made was Rabol Dadan for 14 mil. Ended up swapping that for a Meteor Cannon, which is even sexier. Similarly I swapped a Rabol Rad bought for 5 mil for Vahra Claws +5. Shigga Damduc +10 for 4 mil, 50% light Gudda Godda for 800k from a friend. Good purchases all.

I bought a +10 Hikauri bow ages ago and while THAT wasn't a really good buy, it's STOPPED me from buying other +10 weapons when I've got a +5 or so... grinding bonuses from stats aren't that awesome. Especially on A ranks.

Tell me about it! I'm in love with the Riflic. A friend pawned his max-grinded Riflic off on me now that he had +10 Phantoms and Phantomlines.

The grinds on a +10 Riflic make it a very close competitor to a +10 Phantom, although you don't get the ATA or the armor set bonus that comes with a Phantomline. But I'm a CAST; who needs all that ATA?

I'm personally waiting for a mechgun line shield bonus set ... if they ever happen.

[Anduril]

I really don't know where all my money goes... A 9* here, a scape doll there. And also looking for Vulcalines and Neu Ebons.

[Bliven]

I spend all my money breaking stuff to sell!

[PJ]

I bought a [b] Del Jagnus for 120k http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Then Double S told me he only payed 80k for it, and I jokingly said I felt ripped off, so he gave me 40k back XD

Truly, the grinding system for the A-ranks aren't impressive at all, yet the only good thing about it is that A-ranks cannot be bought in NPC stores and can only be obtained through 45K synth. boards, which is much much cheaper compared to the 500k S-ranks.

[Turbobrain]

Sytnthing. All on synthening. The last week I've done about 10mil.... had one 50%(ahh it would be one of the very few Kubara 8*'s I dediced to put in to spend the Kubara woods I had lying around rather than a 9*), one 38%, a handfulll of 30%'s and all the other jubk wnt in the shop.

Oh yeah, made a 34% Fire-Yamato, failed 3 Ganna, synthed one crappy Rabol Rad(18% dark), and an handfull of other things. Nothing outstanding really.

I tell you its tougher selling value armours then value weps. I really don think ppl relaise what money goes into making them or who they can save you big time with the right %'s.

I to thought I would save for the cup and AoI but have failed. Again. I hope to make it back by selling ridulously over-priced rappy feathers and it seems I am not alone in this enterprise.

[Genoa]

I can barely hold my money, I roughly keep it in the hundred thousands. Of course, like most people I believe, I switch all my money to whatever character I'm playing. I do that with Equipment too, forget buying doubles, If I know I want to play one of my other characters later or the next day, I'll put all the things they need in my common box.

I buy a lot of B-stuff though too, mostly high-elements or high-grinds =/. Usually stuff just as a pre-requisite before I can use my 9*'s for that character... I've only remade 4, 5 characters <_> ... I'm settling with these 4 though. 2 male, 2 female, all 4 races. And if AoI somehow has more character slots, I'm in luck :3 because I have a hard time sticking with one character for too long.

LOL! Tell me about it ... I've started making and using grinded Rivet Gloves again instead of Gudda Godda. 100 less ATP is only -30 damage or so on a PA, and they've got more PP. That's knuckles though, they're by far the most messed up class of melee weapons.

Aww, someone's insecure... you seem to like belittling people with a bit more force, don'tcha? Like this PM I got from you:


lol jealousey good feature on you huh fat kid thats why your a scrub on the game and real life keep trying to bash me in the forums cause ur worthless and all you can do is hate.

Go ahead, keep trying to bash me through private messages. It amuses me.

::ON-TOPIC::

I found a guy selling Relic Edges for 4k. =D So now I own a bunch 'o them for later.

[Arcturus]

I got a Burst +1 for 50k, plus a bunch of other 8*'s for 40k for my ranger. Kicks tail pretty hard for being level 31.

Now I'm poor. Gotta do HSM more... wish there was another mission that's as popular...

why not graters?

BTW, I think spears are pretty messed up to (at A rank). GRM spears are the best up until then, and all of a sudden ATP/PP on tenora spears goes through the roof.

EDIT: another purchase I made: I bought every railgun in player shops that were 8K and under. I ground 3 of them to +5, then sold the rest back at 11k each. go me.

[XenithFlare]

I reaaaallly can't wait for Yohmei fists. Right now the B-rank Yohmei knuckles make me giggle; they just look awesome. I love the rods on 'em.

[Rizen]

I spend most of my money testing out new things and grinding lower rank weapons. Once in a while, I will buy new clothing.
