How much money do you have to spend to fully upgrade t2 gear?

When you add everything together, you can even leave out bags and the mount.

Just the enchants and scrolls, and whatever else you feel is required.

We all know you can farm for the enchants, but it would take 3-5 years to get all of them (then another 30-40 years to get all of them to rank 7 with the 1% chance of success), so keep your comment to yourself if you say that.

How much money would it cost to fully enchant t2 gear?

    $160 per enchant...

    That's an astronomical amount. Jeeeeeesus. Stayin true to the perfect world payment model - lure in suckers to pay 5-10 thousand dollars on the game.

    Then... how much is it, if you know? Didn't really provide a counter argument.

    I didn't say I knew, nor was I making a counter-argument. I was pointing out a flaw in your assumption.

    I don't have a level 60, but I have been playing quite alot and in my humble opinion you don't have to spend a penny on this game. In game rewards will give you a perfectly playable character. If you are the kind of guy who needs to squeeze .every last .02% of stats out of a piece of gear, and you don't have the patience to farm it in game, spend the money, its a convenience. But you don't HAVE to spend money to have a playable character. Cash shop items are time savers, vanity items, etc.

    At level 60 enchants are BETTER than gear.

    It's definitely not the last .02% of stats. Lol.

    This is the assumption everyone makes that hasn't made it to T2s. Facepalm.

    Thanks for that, it's what I feared. 160 per enchant, and that's not even counting the runes, a useful companion, and a useful mount... and crafting.

    This game's pvp is already dead and the main part hasn't even came out yet. Kinda unfortunate. Would've been a great game if perfect world wasn't publishing it, it's entirely their fault all of their games have flopped.

    The coalscent wards are up fro 100-150k AD on the beholder server. Do a few epics and sell the trash loot you get. (blues, epics you don't need) Or do pvp and sell the items and you get 2-3 runes each day. You don't really have to pay anything and it does not take long..got 14 in my backpack already, used 2 so far to rank up lvl 7 runes.

    Sorry but not all of their games have flopped. PWI is one of the big money makers in the asian mmo market. STO is in second as one of their biggest money makers, and that's mainly NA and EU. STO is getting ready to release an expansion for free. Torchlight is one of the most popular Diablo style games. I could go on, but I think I've made my poknt.

    They're big money makers because people spend thousands. Torchlight is definitely far from the most popular Diablo style games, I'd say it's less popular than the crapfest D3, obviously doesn't even compare to D2/D1or PoE. What else is there in the ARPG genre?

    Forcing people to spend thousands (there's a guy who spent $70,000 on PWI), doesn't mean its a good game, it means people are stupid.

    Then it isn't a flop if people are stupid enough to buy from them then. And at least PvP is way better than D3.

    Also, is it really 1% chance, or are people pulling that number from midair?

    The difference between a rank 5 and a rank 7 enhancement is not even noticeable. Lesser vs Greater weapon/armor enhancement on the other hand is quite huge.

    It's actually $210 per enchant.

    $160? I spent at least $600 to gear up my set with only all rank 7 enchants and greater thunderhead armor greater plague fire weapon.

    Did you not read the reddit post someone linked? Like... humans should be more capable of comprehension, are you not a human or are you just an inferior human?

    Anyway, here you go inferior human - http://www.reddit.com/r/Neverwinter/comments/1dry0g/neverwinters_f2p_model_what_you_need_to_know/

    Yeah... that terrifies me.

    Why perfect world, why do you have to turn otherwise decent games into wastelands? PWI/BoI/JD are all decent games, but are ghost towns due to your cash shop, NW will be no different. Siggghhhhh.

    Frankly you have to pay zero dollars if you are patient and take your time. If your not you will buy wards.

    Go do the math on how long it will take to farm up the stuff yourself. Give me the number in years, it might get into decades but you can stick to years if you want.

    A clever person can have the AD in days without spending any cash. Most people might take a few more, the ignorant are going to take awhile.

    In years, I'd say about 0.1 to 0.2. Do you want those values in decades too, or can you work those out yourself?

    Show me proof of you getting over 300 million AD. If you have no proof, your points are null and void.

    Inaccurate since we don't have Rank 8 enchantments. You expect me to believe anything else they say about enchantments?

    He doesn't have to prove anything. He's just letting you know. Be thankful. He's also right. you can make a few hundred K per day without a problem, and at the current going rate for C-Wards, you'll need about 2.1 mil, not 3.

    you sir are wrong from whats being said, enchants are a massive portion of your gear, and the .01% chance to succeed on rank 7 enchants is impossible to deal with end game you MUST buy wards... one way or another... so again... pw2.

    Edit: 160 dollars i believe is to fully enchant your gear.

    Pulling out numbers from thin air isn't helping your argument. Last I heard, it was 20% for Rank 7 normal enchants, and no idea on the special ones because I'm inclined not to believe the Reddit article, and anyone quoting the reddit article, because of gross inaccuracies, like pulling out numbers from thin air for non-existant rank 8 enchants.

    The combat is the only thing going for this game. Everything else is outdated or generic. No way in hell I'm going to spend $40 per character for bags and $160 for enchants.
    I spend all day reading every thread and letting people know this is BETA.
