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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.
