are you going to be transferring stuff to yourself from other characters? Like salvage, recipes, etc.?

Or, you know. Right around 712 million.

Just for good measure.

How do you intend to handle buying mistakes? Where, for whatever reason, you accidentally bought an extra something that you're not going to use? Are you going to sell it back, especially if it is a pricey and desirable item, or will it just be added to the overall cost?

Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

Well, I hadn't considered this. If it does happen, I will do the following:

List that item for an appropriate amount. If it sells, the money is then added back in. If it doesn't, I'll list it again for 1 inf. If it still doesn't sell by the time I slot the last IO, I'll delete it an eat the cost.

I rarely have this happen to me personally. Usually, if it does happen, its a generic IO that I purchased but did not notice the purchase while bid creeping. I have yet to "accidentally" purchase anything worth more than 1 mil.

I will take extra care with this build to reduce this problem

I have no idea about the cost (though I will guess that you won't be done by the 27th), but I'm curious about the set bonuses. I see that you have 5 LOTG recharge enhancements, plus a couple of sets that give 7.5% to recharge time as well. Doesn't the stacking limitation apply to the LOTG's?

each named bonus stacks 5 times, LoTG has a different named bonus than the 7.5% recharge from sets so they work fine.

I'll guess 742 million.

And so it begins! Starting with the cap - its easiest for me to remember how much I started with, and it also should prevent me from having to send more inf over! (Man I hope so!)

Remember, you can continue to guess (provided you haven't already) right up until I slot the last enhancement. I am hoping to be done by Monday, but you never know, I could be done sooner


Good luck!

Round 1 complete!

24 of 56 enhancements slotted.

I managed to touch on every IO that I intend to slot. Some will wait until this weekend, some will get picked up later during crunch time when I weep over the prices I am paying for pixels

Some very surprising things out there. Some are more than expected, a few items were picked up for less than the crafting cost.

There will be no updates on how much I have spent so far - that would make it unfair to those who guessed already - but I will say that I have spent more than 10 inf.

I believe this was already guessed. Would you like to edit your guess?

Looks good. I don't see one exactly like that anywhere
