So atm I'm level 38 with almost 2mil and I was wondering what is the best thing I should be doing from here to get closer to at least buying a baby hercules. I expect, or rather suspect, getting a herc would probably take me somewhere between lvls 65 and 75.

Also in the Gold trade option at the auction house, What is the least and greatest you would pay for the coin per silver ratio? Becuase I plan on buying battle packs since buying 3.5K+ for SoF is too much

    1 gold = 100,000 coin
    1 silver = 1,000 coin
    1 gold = 100 silver

    That is the standardized "actual value" of gold. Thanks to the idiot people who use the Gold Trade function, the prices will steadily rise, because people enter in buy amounts greater than 100k. So chances of you buying gold at "actual value" is pretty much non-existant. Expect to pay 120k-150k, depending on server and market fluctuation.

    Theres no standard price of gold... it all depends on supply and demand

    3.5k+ per sof?? Wow, in Heaven's Tear, it's 2.3k+. Dang, that's disgusting.

    Well, I don't know the average prices for gold in Harshlands are, but in Heaven's tear, the highest coin for gold is 130k while the lowest (that I've seen) are 110k per gold. I'd just say to go around +-5k from the lowest amount and see how things go from there. I'd be careful, though, since although you do get your money back, the 2% fee is non-refundable. Choose your gold buying amount wisely, that's all I gotta say. =p

    I'm trying to figure how I should purchase the legendary as well.

    I have a veno at Lv 31 with 1.5mil (don't have any coins on this archer), and basically what I'm planning to do is to check gold trading daily to see the prices. And checking some catshops as well (though I got to say, most are way too overpriced).

    I would also setup a catshop and attempt to buy feathers with your own set price.. I did get a few for 2.2k, which is pretty good when most people are selling 2.5k+.

    But prices vary from server to server, so I guess Harshland is really quite harsh..

    For save coins u need NOT waste coins at anything... it means no cs, no new skills, sell all the stuff u can drop and grind a lot until u get your legendary pet

    Is more expensive buy Gold for Battle pets than buy the S/F cuz battles give u a random amount of S/F between 10-50

    i bought all the SoF from cat shops the grand total was 19.3mil


    while the veno i bought SoF from CS cost me 24.7mil

    so for me it was cheaper with cat shops

    You can buy skills and do cs too( cs in 30- 50 lvl or 60 lvl isn't cost much, from grinding by 1 hour u can earn enough money for about 100 cses!), u should not buying all skills u want but this which are really needed. On my 25 lvl veno on Harshland I have just 2 skills attacking, one buff and skills for pet, nothing more. On this lvl I can earn like 1 mil from DQs, mats and herbs, but will be more.

    I'm saving on legendarys too, but I think that buying some things which could make game simpler to lvling like aerogear is important too... and this is on 1 st for me for this moment. I think about it like that: flying faster= faster doing quests=faster lvling=higher lvl=more money. Simple xD
    My chars: 97 barb, 87 cleric, 91 veno, 80 archer, 74 Blademaster, 34 Psychic, 30 Assasin, 20 Wizard, 44 Seeker, 20 Mistyc.

    ^ I have SO many personalities to play them all! b:cute

    And YAY for my Phoenix!(on THIS veno ^^) b:victory

    I think at certain level people might want to grind a bit first before questing right through the levels. For example, I find it quite easy to get hay from level 28 to.. well, I'm 31 now, and the drop is still quite nice. And hay can sell for quite bit. The drop rate might diminish quite a bit though if I was say, Lv 40.

    Will I be getting some equally good drops (expensive) at that level? Pretty unlikely.. I think?

    But I guess if you're talking about even higher level, then sure, it's kinda easier to make more money just with DQ drops. I would however try and maximize your cashflow via catshop.

    1 silver for 1k? I've seen sell prices such as 180k for 30ish silver. I think Harshlands may be pretty insane
