Value of Gold

I am still very new to Drakensang, just started playing a few weeks ago. I have a lvl 16 Dragonknight which suits my play style very well. But, I am still very confused about the value of gold and or coins in the game. Mainly because 90% of items have to be purchased with Adermant. So my question I guess is how can I at my level get more Adermant (without spending real money on it) so I can get some of the needed things to play the game? Also why have gold and coins as major part of loot drops if it is not the main currency used in game?

 

Do your quests and fight in dungeons. That's the best way to get ander for free.

 

with gold u can buy essences and buffs + when u reach 40th level u will need to do quests from Zahir (NPC, who stays in Kinghsill) for geting Cloacks. If u want found good items u can kill the bosses or monsters in dungeons.. they give green, blue, pink and orange items.. if u got 4 greens or 4 blue or 4 pink items u can combine them for new item:
4 green item -> 1 blue item
4 blue item -> 1 pink item
4 pink item -> 1 orange item
that's all

 

Gold, initially was not very useful, however, it is more and more needed especially for leveling on the knowledge tree. As said above it becomes of importance when u have the cloak skill. My advice is not to waste your coins on essence, you can easily farm green essence. Hoard it, so you have it when you need it. As Slitrobo says do all your quests, and at times it is wise to run the dungeon areas to accumulate as much anders as possible.

 

farm for anders and items sell or melt you still need coins for the game.. as your knowledge tree grows so will the amount of gold needed to use up the books

 

I would suggest you to farm cots which is from any dungeon or open map except for urban areas ofcourse, and id yourself some extraordinary/legendary items since they are better than those you buy with anders. Save your andermants for gems, when the gem sale is on Note: Gems is almost the most important thing to have in game, especially if you're a pvp player You're also gonna need some extra inventory soon when you reach level 30-45 because you're gonna have to do quests and stuff which will take alot of inventory space. Goodluck, and enjoy

 

they need more items which you can buy with gold... different towns to sell different items and im not talking about just the level items they have... add more items to each town, make it interesting, not same old stuff
