Just purchased my first Zen(5300 Zen) and transferred to my server. I should have 53 Gold waiting for me when I get home. Help me spend it!

I am level 19 almost 20.

Are there any must have items from the shop?
Should I save it for later?
What would you buy and why?

    I have a Crystalline Magmite. Do you think I need a Herc this early in the game?

    What about "must haves"?

    There are no must haves for a veno early game. You'll need food for the pets and to reach lev 29 so you can grind for free. Your herc is about $200 and after that you really won't have to spend $$ again.

    Nothing in the cash shop is a "must have". Its all about making your life easier. Id say either get a super pet cage and a panther. Will last you a near life time and is very useful.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Whats the panther? Is it a mount? (tired of running...)

    Yep, its one of the cheapest mounts in the game and runs at 9m/s (level 11) not spurred.

    What mount scan I use at 20? Or, what mounts can be made to be used at 20 with spurs? I read that you can lower mounts to level 20 with spurs but I dont see which ones can be lowered.

    You can get a panther and add the appropriate spurs to drop it to Lev 20 requirement. Not sure which spurs - they increase speed from 8 to 9. There's a second kind that is used to increase 9 to 10.

    You can probably get a spurred panther in-game from another user for about 900k (that's what they go for on HL server, anyway)

    I also second the save for a Herc suggestion. The quicker you get that done, the better.

    Merchant with the 53 Gold...

    Buy stuff on the boutique in bulks. Cat shop them for a profit in coins. Then buy more Gold with your coins.

    Repeat this until you have 999999 Gold. Then hax the entire server.

    Order of importance (IMO)

    Max Inventory capacity - more loot to sell
    Max Safe capacity - more storage for mats
    Ground mount - save on TP cost
    Pet Slots for Veno - min 4, Ground, Air, Water, Mount. you will want 10 spots for versatility of using specialized pets. i.e. Magic defense ect.

    regarding herc and phoenix pet.

    Soloing with a golem up to 60+ is not a problem, this will allow you to fund legendary pets with some in game coin if you manage your finances tightly. Each of the legendary pets will run ~18-20m coin. yes thats each, plus feeding and training cost. without Herc there will be some mobs/bosses you will not be able to tank until much higher level.

    Herc at 60+ for TTs/FBs farming.
    Phoenix at 70+, air mobs are great exp for ranged magic using classes. Phoenix is highly effective in TWs

    Oh btw, once you've recovered your 40m+ on pets training and food. Venos are a inexpensive class to play with good earning potential.
