A Casual Two Billion

Posted

I've posted before about how this forum has given me plenty of tips on how to make inf with limited amounts of effort, and now here's the proof:




I've had this amount before (and plenty more) but never kept it long enough to take a pic. Now I've actually got 2 billion that I don't have an immediate use for. Yay? After outfitting last year's 50 with shinies over the course of January and February, I just kept the moneymaking going. So this is the work of, hm, about a month for me.

Nothing fancy, mostly just crafting A-merit recipes and selling them for 200 million a pop. Oh, I also dabbled in a bit of market manipulation, just to see how it worked. You can thank or blame me for the current state of Human Blood Samples.

Any tips on what to use it for? I'm probably a few months away from another 50 and there are only so many costume contests I can fund.

Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.

If I dont have an immediate use for a few billion and I dont feel like marketeering Ill put in a bid for Glad Armor +3%. If it hits Ill sell it off market, otherwise its just storage.....

Run a CC with a 10 mil Inf prize and give *everyone* 10 million!

Convert it to prestige and buy the biggest raid base.

Find newbies zoning in next to Ms. Liberty. Give them 10 million Inf if they /em dance for you. You use the /em plot emote while they dance.

Manipulate the Rare Salvage market back to under 1 million inf prices.

Stand around in a PvP zone. When someone kills you, email them one of those Rare Salvage with a message: "Thanks! It's the only way I can feel alive is when I'm pummeled to death!"

I'm calling that screenshot a fake. Nobody advertises for a tank/brute for Apex, only ranged/buff/debuff.

Now I'm torn between 88ing it into an insta-base for my retired novelty characters or putting up a bid on a PvP proc. I've never owned a PvP set or built a large base from scratch.

Hm.

May have to go make another 2 billion...

Your 2 billion isn't nearly as impressive as the amount of powers you seem to want access to. Might I suggest the power of popmenu commands?


@Rylas

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

Macros scare me.

But yes, it's been obvious for some time now that I need to do something about my power trays. Cutting it back to 6 trays would be about right, 3 down and 3 across.

*goes off to read*

Grats, CP!

I have to agree with Rylas; I'm not sure which is more impressive... The ebil or the sheer number of temp powers on your window.

If I had an extra 2 bil that I didn't have plans for? Oh yeah, the SG registrar would be my new best friend. Another vote for 88ing it!

Email it to another character? I'm leery of storing it in the market.

I collect temp powers and any that I can't easily replace are removed from my power trays. Even so, when I do a task force with Ironblade that gives a temp power, it ends up in the only open slot in my 7th tray.

You may want to consider /windowscale

/windowscale tray0 .8
/windowscale tray1 .8
/windowscale tray2 .8
etc...

Words cannot express just how much I love you right now. I didn't realize you could scale windows individually; thank you for pointing that out!

This is pretty much what I'm planning on doing with my currently useless billions. It'll be nice to finally have some big new influence sinks in the game that'll actually give me something more than extra Prestige I don't need.
