21200 Zen What to buy

edited May 2015 in General Discussion (Xbox One)
I'm going to make a little investment and was just wondering peoples opinion's on what I should and shouldn't get, I'm a GF lvl60 I also have a Lvl 60 GWF, Lvl 31 TR and a Lvl22 Cleric

1. I want a 110% mount-One of the Zen Market or do I grab a rage drake? The ones of the Zen market are for all Accounts?
2.Compaions-The Stone I am getting for my GF, Blacksmith I'm umming and arring about the bonus (15% chance to reflect 10% of damage taken. If the same target is hit 4 times it will reflect 3 times the damage taken) would be perfect for me, any others to look for?
3. The Full Dragon Pack for those who have got it is it worth it?
4.Anything else I should get in general of the market place or Trade House?

    Dont buy a drake, get the mount on the store because EVERY character gets one...the drake only that one character gets it

    Getting the stone is good yes

    Not sure about the dragon pack

    Getting a cat for 800k Ad is good for your cleric or rogue

    The dragon hoard enchantment only goes to the first character. Also that price tag for it is pretty high.

    No, it does not. On the PC same as the Xbox, the bag of enchantments (which includes the Dragon Hoard Enchantment) only goes to one character. The fashion stuff, Bag, Artifact and ring go to all.

    Everybody missed the 800LB gorilla in the room. Didn't anybody see HOW much Zen he has to spend?

    Did he trade one of his children for the Zen?
    Huh....I thought Ballsdeep was a location in Lord of the Rings.

    Buy me an Oghma's Token of Free Movement Artifact. :-) (Just kidding. But it's nice to see you have that much money for the game. I'm poor.)

    I believe they call this "having a job".

    It's quite a rare occurrence among the console crowd, so some surprise is expected. I assure you though, he didn't sell one of his children. Typically people with "jobs" have this thing called "money" they like to spend on their own enjoyment and entertainment. Some people like drinking, some people like souping up their old classic car, and some people like to gamble with it or take awesome vacations.

    And then there are some people who thoroughly enjoy playing video games.

    200$ is nothing for the typical MMO. Figure most old school gamers are used to spending 50-60$ up front then another 120-180 the first year. So for Neverwinter, that's 180-240$ base, not even counting the big spenders.

    Sure a lot of free players may be shocked, but for many people that work getting ride of a ton of grind to actually sit back and enjoy the game has its value

    No, his common sense. The games broken, why keep investing in a money pit?

    It's not as much as it seems if you put the effort in even if you don't want to spend that much money on it. I've only put about $50 in the game and I still managed to get up to around 15k Zen from trading and taking advantage of double rp events. Once you learn how the economy flows it's not that difficult after you get some startup capital.

    Does XBox'er get used to pay for monthly/annual fee anyway? XBox Live, etc.
    Does MMO player get used to pay monthly/annual fee too? WoW, etc.

    Anyway, for OP, I will wait for Zen store sale. In PC, there was a sale to get dragonborn with a race re-roll for about half the price of the Dragonborn regular package. They may have one for XBox. For the mount and companion, there is a sale for them almost every week.

    Perhaps you missed my sarcasm, but it was supposed to imply that not everybody is in your income bracket. For some of us, $200 is chump change. I'm not trying to be all high and mighty; there's nothing wrong with your income if you're happy with it, that's just how it is.

    20k+ in Zen will get you junk. True this game is a money pit. Wait till mod 6:EE hits xbox. You'll see all you've invested into, go down the drain.

    That depends on what you buy. I don't see the big devaluation in mount, companion, character slots, bank slots, dragonborn discounted pack, etc. If you are talking about RP stuff, it is not a good deal in mod 5 or 6. So far, I do not see what I bought in mod 5 Zen store goes down to drain in mod 6 yet. And, I don't spend any money.

    I will be saving some for future updates, The Dragonpack I feel is worth it just for the 30 slot bag, I enjoy the game immensely and it is helping me fight through my depression, I know not everyone can justify spending that much but I'm happy to spend that on a game I love:)

    No, not worth it. A 24 slot bag is 1000 AD. In mod 6, there is a 36 slot bag and it costs 1600 AD.

    I was able to claim the enchantment bag twice. I first got it on the toon I purchased the pack with, then I was able to claim it again from the special item vendor. it showed up saying 1 available.

    No idea when you will get mod 6.

    One issue people has big problem with is: mod 6 makes their mod 5 gears obsolete.
    People spend a lot of effort feeding RP to Artifact equipment and Artifact weapon.
    People bought Blood Ruby (50K RP) to feed AE from Zen store.
    So, other than RP, I do not know what else from Zen store is considered a waste because of mod 6.
    There are stuff in Zen store I consider is "not useful" IMO but those have nothing to do with mod 6.
