Looked like a hole and with your... difficulties I'm going to lean on the high side of average.
Assuming I'm not too late.
Just a guess from a ~80 million net worth player.
STOP!
Last enhancement has been slotted!
Results to come shortly!
*drum roll*
Final amount spent:
833,586,688
Congratulations to:
SAVOS!
Who guessed 842,420,326 which means he was off by a total of 8,833,638!
Nice guess Savos!
Some notes from the process:
The Basilisk Quad and the LotG 7.5's account for 603 million (or about 72%) of that total. Those are definitely big ticket items!
Ways I *could* have brought the price WAY down:
The Basilisk Quads I got were quite a bit below the normal. However, even then, I could have easily saved about 100 mil on those alone by getting level 26 instead of limiting myself to the 27-30 range. Or, I could have used the tripples and saved about the same amount!
The LotG 7.5's I bought were a major portion of this experiment. However, I didn't spend over 100 mil for any one of them. Had I used merits or A-Merits, I could have dropped a nice chunk out of the cost of this build.
Note: I tested the "perma-ness" of this build when I had only 2 LotG's slotted and it worked fine. The 5 are overkill . This change alone can make some significant alterations in the build and what it *could*.
I do not have GR - but I *can* buy H/V Merits. With needing 5 LotG, I indeed have enough characters to purchase 5 LotG's in 5 days through buying. This would have cost me 40 mil and 100 reward merits each, but would have brought the price down several hundred million.
I began working on a "how not to loose your shirt" guide because of this contest and hopefully it will be ready soon!
Thank you everyone who played along! I had a lot of fun, and I hope you did too!
Congrats Savos! You just multiplied your net worth by 10!
Also, a big DOH!, I was so close before his last minute bid!
my 778 was closer than I usually get on these things!

My City Was Gone
At the end there it looked like Fulmens was in the running with his 867,530,100... I mean 867,530,900.
I thought that it was pretty ironic that song lyrics could win.
Regardless - Savos you have a private message! Come get ur money!
Haha, holy crap lucky.
Although it's a bit cheesy because I could see you weren't going to hit the low end, I'll certainly make use of 800 million plus given my current assets.
Thanks!
Test drive!
Well, when you buy a new car, you gotta take it out for a drive, right?
I jacked it up to x8 and went and grabbed a tip mission (these are more fun for me, tho little benefit ). I pulled...
Rikti!
On a map where the "hospital" is actually jail
Lol - I've died... oh I have no idea how many times. I hate this map - LOVE this character!
Thanks again to everyone who participated!
Congratulations Savos!!
This was a fun ride. Thanks Misaligned.
Hrmm, I'm almost sorry I guess the way I did. 825ish was about where a 'real' guess would have been.
That said, totally worth it. Congrats Savos!
No problem!
It was fun! And I'm glad people had fun!
Curses! I gave it the ole' Dumples low-ball and grounded out! Thanks for a fun thread, and congrats Savos!
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.
Congrats Savos!
I would not even guess that high. I tend to be cheap, so it wouldn't occur to me. My cheapest but decent build is my lv 50 rad/kin who cost 300 million and wears the title, Master of Lord Recluse Strike Force.
Neat experiment and I look forward to your guide.
I as well am looking forward to your guide so I can better squander, er... spend my ill gotten gains.
