Halfway there...

This morning my main, Extor Prime, reached the half-billion influence milestone.

This is the first time I had this much on hand at the same time. My two builds are worth over a billion, but I never had 500M "liquid" Inf and literally nothing to spend it on.

You may laugh of course - I'm progressing at a snail's pace. My goal is to reach 1B and retire my main from the market. Of course, my up-and-coming Warshade will need a lot of scratch to get tooled up, but I hope he can make his own "sins and fortunes" in the market rather than getting supplied by the main.

I'm still doing simple buy-and-craft game. It's slow, but steady income that doesn't require anything but a once-a-day logon to refresh slots.

Say, how's purple crafting these days?

500M liquid inf with a fully purpled build is nothing to laugh at. Congrats!


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Cliche as it may be... the 2nd 500M is much easier then the first.


I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.

So true. I've been trying to do serious marketing with about 9 or 10 different characters. So far I've managed to get most of them into the 200 to 400 million mark... but last weekend I offered to help someone on an infamy to influence transfer on Virtue. I had about 200 million infamy on my brute, and just about 380 million influence on my scrapper (with another 140 million on my troller on the other account.)

As it turned out, he wanted a pretty big transfer -- 380 million infamy to influence. I didn't charge anything, and when I was done I had a brute with almost 600 million infamy.

Since then my brute has been out-pacing my heroes, and is closing in on 1 billion fast. Could be the difference between the black market and Wentworths I suppose... but it just seems easier to make that second 500 million. I still don't think any of my heroes has more than 350 mil or so.

Mind you, my brute isn't IO'd out with purples or anything... I've been very tempted to spend some of that money, but I want to climb well above a billion before I start spending a little.

How true that is. Took me all my game time up till a little over a month ago to get 1 billion. In less than a month I had 2. I'd probably be well on my way to 4, but I'm hoarding for 2XP weekend.

Yeah, I looked at the prices of purples and felt a part of my soul die.

100M per recipe, ouch. Inflation: it ain't pretty.

Hope the new difficulty settings will get people out of the AE and improve the purple supply.
