Poorest any of you have ever been?

[Zephiron]

This is not a complaint. Rather, this is more of a silly occurrence of events.

After about a month of playing, I'm nearly 73 (Yes, I've been slow. Work, friends IRL, and other games), and I've always wondered why I seemed to be fairly weak compared to most of my peers I play with. So, after a little bit of research, I found the wonderful world of affixing and crafting. And the costs that would soon come with it. I like the fashion in the game, but I'm not going as far as buying to expensive without making my equips decent first (most of my fashion averages around 200k-600k, and I only have 4).

So, I've been searching up red weapons since so many people were talking about them, and see how powerful I could make them. Challenge quests were easy overall to get the Photon boosters. The challenge?

The true EQ that even XH Profound darkness would quiver its mouth at... Dudu and Monica! So, first Red weapon ended up costing me around 200k to +10 the first time (I'm low on resources. No excuse, but I got impatient). Second time, it was only 70k or so, so I was happy it worked out so smoothly. There was also making the element 50, but that wasn't too expensive.

I just gathered all of the Iron, steel, silva and other materials. As soon as I got to Extend level 9, I had on me 500k or so. But then the affixing happened.

Somehow, even at 80-100%, RNG slapped me in the face and I only got a Soul + Power III when I had two other abilities on it WITH a 30% Ability boost. Got the last of my money in the bank to make the weapon turn out with around 105 S-ATK. But then I realized I have no more money. That 446k used for 5 pieces to get 4 abilities for a red weapon? Yep, I was down to 1k Meseta.

Thankfully, I had some dailies to do, but the urge to make more happened. In a span of a week, I have made about 5 red weapons, barely ever surfacing over 50k over that time span (Klotho, save me).

Welcome to poor man's PSO2! But hey, I at least I can say I get in the top 3 in damage charts in Mining base defenses with a red katana on SH. (Boost my ego, game. Dudu and Monica bruised it enough).

TL: DR; What has the poorest you have ever been on this game?

Poorest I've ever been? When i started playing for the first time.

Nah, fam. You start at 0 Meseta when you start. Try hitting the negatives. That's when you know you are poor.

I'm wondering. Who's Moncia?

Good question. Here's a whole thread of the theories of who she is.

(She is Falz Hunar in a parallel universe.)

[Zyrusticae]

Monica is the alternate staff member for the item lab counter. She's the bumbling, apologetic "moe" type that tries to cheer for you but still fails because she's utterly incompetent.

As for my poorest... I have some idea how to evaluate that. Now, it would have to be relative to the richest players, as "poorness" is directly correlated with wealth inequality, so the beginning of the game is right out as everybody was equally "poor" back then. So maybe it would have to be when I was just getting back into the game after the release of the tier 6 graphics - I hadn't played the game seriously in actual years, so the divide in wealth between myself and the richest players was never any greater than it was back then. After getting a bunch of classes to level 75 and geared up with 60-element 13*s, however, that gap has considerably shortened (though it's still there, obviously, as I still don't have my stuff affixed with 100+ attack and such).

Note, however, that even at that point I still had some 30 million meseta saved up along with a pile of lambda grinders, AQ capsules, and nearly 200 XQ passes, so it's not like I was really poor. Just, relatively speaking, not all that well-off, either.

I see you mention dailies (and ONLY dailies) so ill just ask to be sure: do you know about clotho and his weekly COs? Which give a decent income.

to answer your question: i usually save up and burst it all on either phasion™ or trying new medium budget affix combos so im pretty much stuck in 100k-1m everytime.

"Klotho, save me"

I know about the time attacks. I said that statement as an implication for those quests (They reset tomorrow for me. Back to making more weapons).

[TehCubey]

I've been poor as shit when I was a dumb newbie. That was before the Braver class was introduced by the way. This was when Fury Stance still offered a static +satk instead of a percentage increase. The dailies were crap back then, while Klotho's COs were daily and not weekly... but I couldn't clear them. Definitely not on VH. A combination of not knowing the time attacks well and extremely poor gear + skilltree, with no one present to offer me any kind of constructive support.

In hindsight, not a fun time.

[milranduil]

poorest i ever was (besides day1) was after i made 3s elder/tech3/spirita boost banther units back in the fuckin DAY (episode1). prob had like 50k left.
