So You've Decided to Buy gPots

[viscen]

What would be a good list of cs items to spend your hard earned IRL money on, if someone was new to the game, and when should they buy them?

Crystal Chips?
Bag Space?
Quest Log?
Another earring slot?

[valandil_]

Earring slot is a must end game. Runes are a must end game. Quest log will be helpful while leveling up, as well as bag space.

You can also purchase all of those items with in game gold. via auction house or other players, and the gem shard vendor.

And all of those things (Bagspace, slots, log extensions) are permanent once you buy them, right?

[sytev]

Yep

[mistresslaw]

All those things are nice to have. Order of priorities? I would get the quest log space with gold if I could. It's just not very necessary, just a nice perk. I'd get the bag space as soon as possible. It's forever getting filled up with stuff, so you'll notice the need for it soonest.

I wouldn't worry about the earring slot until at least the late 20s. You can't wear an earring at all right away, so nothing to worry about starting out.

Runes (Crystal Chips) would take the second priority slot for me. Until you get to Asee-Teph and encounter PvP you won't see too much of a real need for them and even then it depends on who/what you run into, but that's about the time I'd recommend starting to look at them.

1)At least full Level 4 runes to start end-game (more if possible)
2) Extra ear slot
3) Increased bag
4) quest log

^ Order of what is most important out of everything you listed.

[selodin]

green earing slot is the most cost effective item in the game

[viscen]

I didn't mean that just what I listed out is what I wanted.

If there's anything else that you'd need, I'd like to hear.

[rotcjames]

Mounts are nice to have, but not required. Runes aren't needed until endgame, meaning you can survive without them leveling (a lot of us have).

Not really anything else I can think of off the top of my head that would be needed until endgame.

[dotndrop]

Rule of thumb in any MMO. Bag space is always the best investment.
