Hello everyone, just returned to the game after been gone since early of 2005.

I was wondering if anyone is able to mail me some Influence?

My character is almost slotted with SO's and i would love to get the rest of her SO's and some IO's to finish out her build

I was never a good farmer back in 2005 and was just barely getting by slotting SO's but ran out of funds to finish her build slots, so any kind of help would be great.

Thanks.

I am now playing on server Freedom

Global is @Sandy Monroe

Welcome back to the game Nightcomet.

I came back myself almost a month ago. I know how rough it is to come back and so many changes and not having enough cash to slot out your character. i remember back in 2004, when i played for a short time, it was very hard coming up with enough cash to slot your build with DO's and SO's.

Now we have IO/IO sets, which is a lot better than SO's.

Here is few tips that may help you, when out killing or farming.

Sell any enhancements you don't need to the correct store they are for so you get the highest cash back and for salvage and recipe drops, sell those to WentWorth (auction house) unless your on red side, i am sorry i don't have the name of there auction house but you can ask in general chat and someone will be able to tell you name of the auction house

Sorry i don't have the cash to hand out, i got some help from others here on forums that was very nice and loaned me some cash to get me restarted back in the game,

So there are some very nice players here that will help out with cash when they can and i hope you enjoy the game again -

Thanks for the advice and tips, so far you only 1 replied and no one has mailed me any cash to help me get started, im playing my lvl 44 def but its rough, had to respec since the changes and i had to reslot my slots with my DO's and SO's and atm trying to farm mobs that are green to me since i been dyeing a lot to grp of mobs my level range.

I may just roll a new character and start over, really hate to stop on my defender, she is my favorite but till i get some cah farmed up to slot her out correctly she may have to be put on hold.

Thanks again for the advice and tips )

I sent you 10 million Inf.

Are you on a new account (actual Free player) or are you using your old, original account (Premium player)? Or are you VIP (subscribed) with a white forum name? I ask because you mentioned wanting to use IOs which aren't available to Free players and only available to Premium if you've met certain conditions.

I am ViP using same account i had back in 2005, so i can have access to the IO's,

Thanks for the 10 mill inf this will help to get all my slots filled with IO's, i just need to make the right bids and not burn thru the whole 10 mill lol.

What i looked at ww today i notice the IO sets was high price so sticking with regular IO's will be my route and i think the 10 mill will cover it all, great start for me, again thanks, your very nice )

Hi again, i got all my IO's and couple of IO sets for my level 44 defender and i have around 38,000 cash left, WOW that 10 mill went fast but i'm all slotted out at level 44 WOOT.

The IO sets are awesome i can get addicted to them but there so expensive OMG.

I will take few more handouts if anyone else likes to donate lol
but i do not want to come off as a beggar, just like to get few more IO sets.

Thanks and everyone have a great day )

Now to start farming cash

I think you must be using a different account to post than your VIP Account, because your name shows as white (which means you're a Free or Premium player, not VIP).

Though, really, if you're a VIP player, then getting cash is pretty easy, especially at level 40+. It's all about crafting and selling recipes. Another 10 million should take maybe a day or two if you play your cards right. If you don't, then you'll make "only" half a million or so a day.

This isn't a good time to be buying anything on the market. We just finished a Double XP Weekend and prices are crazy. Give it a week or so to settle down.

Free Account - Never spent a dime on the game

Premium Account - Spent money on the game in the past, currently free play (This is you right now, apparently). Various things unlocked via paragon rewards.

VIP - Sub.

If you go to User CP and Group Memberships here on the forums you can actually choose to be identified as a regular registered user (white name) or as a VIP Player (gold name).

When I came back to the game I had to manually change my username to the VIP Player group to be identified as such.

So you can actually be a VIP Player and still have a white name.

Are you currently paying a monthly subscription fee? That's what determines if you are a VIP or not. If you used to be a paying subscriber but are not now, you are premium.

VIP players automatically have access to the auction house and inventions, subscribers may or may not have access depending how how many tokens they've earned and/or whether or not they have purchased the access.

So you can actually be a VIP Player and still have a white name.
While that's true, clicking on her name doesn't give PMing her as a selection which only appears if you are VIP.

You shouldn't have to check your account to find out your status.
Off the top of your head, are you paying a monthly subscription? If not, you're not VIP.

I'll send you some inf when I get home.

What's the cap on Freemium accounts?


The last time I tried this they had to send it back because they couldn't claim it.

Tier 1 is only 25 million. Tier 2 is 500 million. Tier 3 is 1 billion (pinky on side of mouth). Tier 4 and up is 2 billion.

alright, what i can figured out DOH i am Tier 2 premium is what my cousin told me we paid for and we also went in together and bought $100 of paragon points and she unlocked a lot of extra stuff (respec tokens,player packs, character slots ect...) not sure what all she bought for us lol

She and i are both sharing play time on our characters, i asked her if we was now ViP she said no, we were premium and Tier 2.

Sorry for all the confusion, i left everything in her hands while i was busy and we was screaming back and forth do we want this or that ect..

My bad, we both are not the brightest girls in town lol

okay, I'll send along a couple hundred million this evening to split up however you like.

Thanks we appreciate this help, very nice of you )

If you bought a lot of paragon points you should be higher than tier 2, also - that may be where you started but after spending $100 you aren't still there. Buying points gets you tokens, and the number of tokens you have determines your tier. VIPs get one token per month, so spending extra on points is the fast way to go up in tiers.

Open the Paragon Rewards screen, found by clicking this symbol on the character list or when in the game:



...or by selecting Paragon Rewards in the menu when logged into a character.

How many reward tokens does it say you have?
