F2P marshal

Thar she blows, after some three years of casual play.



As a bonus, this was entirely done using PvE build as I'm not too keen on paying 40 ander each time I switch between arena and farming. This is the build, notice the lack of stun breaks and fireball buffs.

 

yep yep... F2P and 49k+ anders in the pic
maybe we have different understanding of the word FREE
(or in other cases you need to show me your farming methods )

 

Congrats Spirospula. Don't let the negative comments get you down. Great job on hitting your goals and not another persons goals. That's the point of the game. Relish.

 

Congratulations spiro_spula !

Guided by my farming methods ... my math says that I can collect 1500-2000 andermants per day. That is 45K-60K andermants per month.

 

Ofcouse he can farm the ander... what troubles me, is, WHAT kind of F2P saves up 49k ander without using it?

And besides, he doesn´t LOOK like the kind of player who farms his butt off in PvE, becaus of the somewhat low amount of glyphs, and the fact a lot of the items is from lv 40. If he has farmed that much ander, he surely would have got a lot of CoTs as well, but it seems like he haven´t been using those on better lv 45 gear?

Just my observations...


But i have to say, great job reaching Marshall with that kind of gear

 

I can't speak in his name ... but i am saving them for longer time too. Since I am on radiant and flawless gems (and I am spending andermants only on gems and slots)... what can I buy with 50K?
Nothing.

 

yea his been farming anders 3 years..

 

This character is as F2P as they come (never bought any ander or premium or spent any cash on the game), don't forget that it's three years old. I only spend ander on big gem sales (when packs of polished ones are about 30% off) and sometimes the ander bank goes up to 100k before I run into a gem sale to spend some. At endgame and with decent gear, farming ander is really not a problem. Also, I stopped identifying gear a while ago, just sort of made peace with my crappy luck and started hoarding CoTs and daily login chests for when lvl 50 comes, maybe my luck changes then. Anywho, it's good to hoard stuff as F2P because you most likely will not be buying it with ander, and by hoarding you make sure that you have what you need when you need it (ander for gem sale, essence for boss runs or events and so on). Here's some hoarded stuffs.





Note that F2P does not mean 'doomed to have no stuff'. You can get stuff, it just takes more effort and time to get it, and three years is plenty. Also, as another bonus, I had no guild to help me with either PvP or PvE, never joined one.

 

that means around 10-12h daily farming with good group at least if it's even enough.
it's just suspicious because if you take a look his inventory it seems full so im kinda wondering same than Hartvig that nobody would save so much specially if your full inventory. Just something here is not right. maybe it's +50% win rate in almost every pvp-mode, for a total F2P that's near impossible to achieve because we know the advantages money can make vs F2P. sure im not trying to take/spoil his earnings just saying that this sounds a little twisted truth to my ear

EDIT: oh ok almost full and he seems to be saver so this might be truth though

 

If Spiro's inventory is making you doubt ... you should see mine .
There are few methods how to farm andermants (legal-no cheating) ... and old players know them all.
Most of the time it takes 4-6 hours per day sometimes more ... depends on the luck. Of course I play with good groups. I am playing with my friends ... and I play this game for almost 3 years ... that means my friends are playing for ... at least 2 years.

 

Thanks for all your support and especially for disbelief. As an old gamer, I find nothing as satisfying as being accused of cheating (because I never do). It is the ultimate compliment to have your aiming compared to an aimbot, or your macro to a resource hack, or your F2P character to a paying one. It unintentionally shows greater respect than one gets from most candid comments.

 

Nice work

 

I'm farming(and saving) ''till i hit 20k, i'm also f2p and i need 15 days for that(5-6 h per day). Soo, 49k hmm, something about a month of farm. That's nothing special.
Nice work Spiro, really nice work. But i'm curious why you keep your glyphs?, for something special?

 

Good work and persistence, Spiro.

As far as glyphs, I save them also - my shield and ring of life are at lvl 48, my weapon is at lvl 47 and all other things are 45-47 - but I save my glyphs now for the glorious day when Khalys gives up that &^*@^& sword (40+ million glyphs to take that sword from lvl 40 to lvl 50.) The reason I don't say the name of the accursed sword is the same reason thespians hesitate to invoke the true name of "The Scottish Play"

 

I believe it. Speaking as another F2P that often gets mistaken for a P2P, I feel your pain, but I will offer you a piece of advice that should come in handy to help you save your limited space. You need to make use of gem holders. Find a white item with 4 slots and spend 10 ander to add one more (you can afford it ) and then you can condense all those gems to 1/5th of the amount of spaces you are using at the moment.

 

@Zokin, no particular reason for hoarding glyphs really. I just don't have anything juicy to spend them on right now, kind of like Sev. As for gem holders, I only use them if I'm low on inventory space and for larger onyxes which are unlikely to ever get puled out of holders.

 

Only 18 spaces available would drive me nuts. I like long farming runs at Khalys or in map2 and I would want a lot more than 18 spots. Just a quick count and condensing your gems would give you back about 20 spots.

P.S. Do I see two Roshan's Belts in your locker?

 

Yes 8) I had double boots as well but melted one pair. It's time for spring cleanup I guess.

 

Ya'll are speaking of "secret" ways of farming 1k-1.5k anders per day. Mind teaching them to a newbie like me? Sorely need the help.

 

Farm PW in sufficiently strong enough groups. Also, do not neglect the watching of the daily free andermant movies.
