    Completely serious, I have just 5 minutes ago seen the following WC.

    "Looking for Barb for gamma...paying Platinum HP charm upon completion"

    Also yesterday the WC.

    "Paying 500k for barb to run Frost CC"

    I find it more common random parties to have party members ask for MP pots during battle.

    They are cheap and good MP Apothecary stuff is simple to put together.

    I can understand the repair costs.

    I've seen Archers ask for cash to DD for a party.

    The archer has no compensation for their MP charms/arrows. But, archers get the opportunity to have MP 2-3 to help them.

    Actually, the coin drops from a completed Gamma cover Archer costs pretty well. If you can manage to get 2k MP (easy with an Arcane Hat) you can do with Mana2 and not worry about potting. For the first waves, just take some Herb Yuanxiao, 1 of those and a Lv70 MP pot will last you through a wave easily. HP Charms are pretty mandatory, but a Bronze lasts 2 RBs at least. So you'd need 8-10 Herb Yuanxiao, 10.000 Arrows, 8-10 Lv70 MP pots and a Bronze Charm for 2x RB Gamma. If you feel like you need it you can take some Crabmeat Jiaozi for the double wave, that would be about another 20k added to the total cost.

    That's 300-400k for a Charm, 15k for the Pots, 20k for the arrows and probably 25k for the Herb Yuanxiao. So that's 450k at most for 2 runs. The coin drops cover about 300-400k and there's a pretty good chance for an Immaculate. If you have a good team, you can even use a Charm for more than 2 RBs (had an epic team once where I didn't tick til last boss and that only cost me 10-15k off it in total)

    I sold cheap(er) charms to barbs who acutally needed one. No way in hell would I give them a free charm though. I know tons of barbs that use <100k of their charm in a gamma run. So.. free plat charm for gamma..... Also, I've seen archers with level 8-9 BoA not use mp charms in gamma. (No, they didnt constantly spam event pots)
    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.

    being a barb is expensive. i never asked for compensation from my groups, but other classes spend a lot less in rebirth than a barb does. it makes sense to spread out the cost and help the barb out, but usually the barb just sucks up the cost. but yeah to ask for a free charm is a little greedy haha

    Uh . . . what?

    RB gamma would burn like 40k tops off of my hp charm and about that for FC if I am being careless.

    Occasionally mobs would get past the aoers and start wailing on poor old Ted. Not often tho, and someone would pick them off fast.

    ya this....
    and at most it's only 2-4 mobs that get lucky and stay out of the DD range...
    3 mobs hitting you is waaay less then the 100s that attack the barb/dd.

    Yea.. the 2-4 mobs shouldnt even be ticking your hp charm. And.. if your mp charm is ticking... well, you f'ed up somewhere. Should be a few ticks of hp charm here and there due to carelessness (2.5h of zzzz), but if you lose an entire hp charm as a cleric, you must be a really good cleric to tank that many mobs.

    I never even considered an MP charm. But 2-4 mobs hitting me for 400-500 per is enough to occasionally tick me with my whopping 4200 buffed HP b:victory

    I got a free gold hp charm yesterday for a RB run. I didn't even ask for it, but the group that gave it too me seemed to do this normally. They also gave me a bunch of anti stun pots too. /shrug I don't think there's anything wrong with asking for one, if not that at least asking for help with paying one off.

    Is that really normal ? Some said people consider it normal to donate a charm to a barb, but I'm not rich enough to do so, let alone give it to a complete stranger who will probably just do ONE run with me.. When I read a barb asking for one I found it despicable b:shutup I wouldn't dare asking such a thing. And he claimed it was worth the "investment" Yeah , I would love to pay for the rest of the charm you will use outside RB's b:beatenup Oh wait, you don't have coins for your skills ? Here are some. Oh, you need TT gear, sure I'll buy it. Want my creditcardnumber with that ?

    wow u serious?...

    on oracle server(malay) i grow a barbar lvl 100 and beside first 3 full runs i never used my own charm because.. i didn't want to go in first place ..were ppl asking and begging because i never failed a rb party. People ask me all day and i was more into tt then rb so i told them ..pay may charm i go..was pretty fun actually and less boring then tt. I always settled for silver even tho i never used more then 200-300k hp from charm.
    once i remember my friend insisted go with 2 bms instead ful party all class and i spent 750k hp was a horrible horrible experience. did ful run in end but swear never do again lol.
    also just last days we got team ready for fc run only missing barbar. after 1 hour+ wc and looking friends found a barbar 93 who asked repairs if come..150k.we chiped in and we did run.
    most important thing in rb is bm+barbar.. if they pro is very easy.. so this like commerce demand and oferb:chuckle

    All classes have their own costs. I've never done rebirth myself, but, I'd love to see a barb do it without a cleric in the squad. So should clerics demand a MP charm every time they do it?

    No. We shouldn't have to PAY YOU on top of getting exp and spirit. It's like paying the tabber to do the FB run for him. It's just stupid. 150k? From what I've /heard/, that's more than payed for in coin drops from rebirth.

    'Demanding' anything is stupid. A barb, once again, can't solo rebirth (b:chuckle)-- so you have no right to demand anything. At all. Everyone's needed, so barbs who are stupid enough to do this-- STFU and learn your place. We don't need you specifically. We can find another barb that actually doesn't have the mental capacity of a 12 year old brat.

    This is sometimes an issue. Hence, why barbs feel like they're special.

    At 80+ if Barb asks for a charm.. dont take him. If cant find another go run FF instead, dont need a Barb, With eso roughly 1mil xp per run, and hell of a lot quicker than RB, plus can leave and rerun straight after.

    Seriously no need to bow down to the odd Diva in any class

    don't do it~
    leave the barb uncharmed, give him some event pots instead, and get past the earthquaker boss.
    that gives 400k+ exp
    and all without a charm.
    and will show if the barb is competent. If he dies before it then...he's gonna die even with a charm at the double wave.

    if he survives and is a decent person then get a charm for him in the future.
