Further progression of my mystic

Illyn - Raging Tide

I have a mystic with +5 G16 lunar armour and +8 G16 TT weapon, 3 A and 3 B cards. HP a little above 10k with sage barb buff.

Atm I have almost 200m coins and daily I get around 1.5m through merchanting and almost 2m selling FSP coins from my rb2 wizard. I can do lvl 100 BHs with 3 chars (mystic, wizard and crystal baby veno), so some days I can get a little more.

I'm targetting r9rr for my mystic, but I'm unsure if I should use her FSP coins to improve my cards or sell them to farm my r9 gear faster, increasing my daily average income from 3.5m to 5.5m (or monthly average income from 105m to 165m).

On the other side, getting more 3 A cards would be a great upgrade and it would probably be much faster than all the months it will take to get r9.

I also considered using the money to gear up my rb2 lvl 79 barb with G16 lunar and try to make more money, even though I don't have time to do so many FSP/BH runs every day (I'd be able to do all dailies most likely in half of the week). Then I could sell his G16 lunar when I'm close to have enough money for my mystic's r9.

Another doubt, considering gold value is unstable, should I save my money as coins or as gold?

Edit:

Oh, I forgot to mention that I've been buying around 13 gold every month, but I'll put more after my rl marriage in April. So I intend to get GSTs with ingame money and MoGs with real money.

I'm targetting first for the 4 r9 armour pieces + the ring, which should cost me around 900m worth of GSTs + 11 MoGs + the reputation (that can be gotten partially for free), then recast them. Next I'd think about the r9 weapon (more almost 900m worth of GSTs + 5 MoGs) and then about the belt.

I'm thinking about it as a 2nd semester goal (at least for the armour).

Buying g16 armor for a random alt is probably a waste.

Get your remaining three A cards, then start selling for r9.

A few things to note:

On my server R9 costs around 3bn, at the rate you're making money it will take you 18 months to obtain it.

The money you're making from FSP will diminish over time as the demand slows as people get the S cards/A cards they need and stop buying and also as more and more people RB alts and run them through FSP daily the supply will increase, so the amount people pay for them will lower over time. On my server this should have already happened but the price is remaining steady as there are a few people still going for strong S card sets. Similar thing happened to NW tokens, except the amount of NW tokens dumped into a server per week is capped whereas the # of FSP coins isn't.

G16 lunar is a good investment. I'd always advise to keep your savings in gold, especially if you're going for R9, as 5 mogs on sale is 50g but the coin value could go up or down. Over time and inflation gold prices will rise, with all the new 'double pilled' BH alts spamming BHs the effect on the economy could be worse than botting was, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see gold price capped again in a few months or less.

I think your biggest problem will be gameplay time, there are lots of other ways of making money with multiple toons like cube etc but they require a huge daily time investment.

Merchanting is the fastest way to make money, but this requires an investment pot of coin I'd say at least 500m to be worth your while, and has an element of risk as bad judgement could cost you.

With the A cards it depends, you could waste 100m+ on trying to get them if you have really bad luck, or you could get them in 3 FSPs, iirc the chance is 13%. Basically ask yourself will the A cards help you achieve the goal of r9rr faster, or is it short term win that could give you a morale boost, or can you get those later.

Not sure if I helped or made it seem worse. xD

Thank you about your advices.

I'm aware of the devaluation of FSP coins and that worries me, but unfortunately it's still the most efficient time/reward instance for me nowadays. Maybe I should try to farm CoGs instead of BHs with multiple alts, since I often get nothing from it.
I might also try to rb my veno to be able to do FSP 3 times a day.

DarkSkiesx is right about money from FSP that will decrease over time. This must be an important factor in your choice.
That being said, your G16 stuff is not that bad and you will need those cards in the end. So I would choose to try to get 10 A (to get the free S) before reselling for R9.
At next sales if you haven't got the 10 A cards yet, maybe you could choose to buy ring and belt though.

Still about the devaluing of FSP coins. That's one of the reasons that makes me feel it might be better to farm r9 gears first.

I'm afraid that if I go for the A cards first, then the value of FSP coins would be much lower than nowadays and it would be even harder to make money.

That's what I thought. I'm a very impulsive person and that's probably why I needed someone to make me clear that it's not worth to get it before I spend all my money and regret later. xD

You'd be better off making more AA alts on your mage/mystic/veno account than wasting coin on gearing something that extensively solely for fsp, tbh. Or hell, just make a pure vit tt90 veno on a separate acc or something and dual it for fsp.
