Gold gold gold...

I have got 2925 gold after 14 days and reaching position 22 in my campaign. I will be able to buy a faster horse just within 6 months. I am very impressed. No. :-(

You can get 2k gold with a level 3 character by doing just one chest run around Khenarthi's Roost. The same is true for the other starter zones. Higher zones yield even more gold from chest runs.

If your level 22 only has 3k gold you either didn't sell your loot or you spent the money on something else.

Yeah, it's sad you get more gold doing a few pvp quests, than you get in the whole campaign.

I read that they're thinking about adding gold to the reward packages, which will make fighting in your home campaign even more pointless.

If their goal is to make us not give a crap about our campaign, it's working. I like PVP, but the leaderboard & reward tiers are really just numbers on a page at this point, they don't do anything for us as players, besides bragging rights.

how would this make you not care about your home campaign?

My character is VR8 and was at position 22 in the pvp leaderboard. The reward after 14 days was less than 3k gold. That is not even enough to feed a horse for 14 days.

I guess you did no quests?...no crafting?...pvp shouldn't be your go to source for gold and even then spend your ap on blue secret accessories and sell the one rare item per ten or sell your pact stuff that you get one every 5-10 rewards.

I'm really not sure what's going on here. Lately I've been reading people going about with the mentality that gold should rain from the sky for them. WORK for it, jeez. There's plenty of really easy quests to do in Cyro. YES the dailies, but honestly how many of them are hard? None. Deliver letter, free spies, kill goblins, and you get 300 gold a pop. Do all of the ones from a town 3k. Clear a dungeon to do the requisite dungeon quest, you get a load of goodies from just clearing the place. EARN YOUR GOLD. Don't turn this into other games where they shovel gold down your throat and it devalues the game. Work for it. You will regret it if you ask for easy mode and they do so and it ruins the game.

This forum is about alliance war not about quests. I was fighting 14 days for my alliance. Yes I did the daily kill quests (if possible at VR7...8 ) but no other distracting quests or dungeons because that is not part of the alliance war. I have used the alliance points to support my pact (siege weapons, forward camps, repair kits). Yes I sold some of my pact items.

I still believe that people are getting penalized for fighting the alliance war. I have stopped it now I am questing in pve again.

Because it's a hell of a lot of work to climb the leaderboard, for very little payoff. I still care in the sense that I want my alliance to do good so I get buffs, but my personal standing in the campaign doesn't reward me enough to care about it. I can make just as much gold in an hour of PvE, so the game encourages me to only PVP for fun, and it doesn't really matter what campaign I'm in for that. You can still get rewards for the worthy and turn in quests when not in your home campaign.

That makes sense for the 14 day one, picture the 30 day one will be about 5k.

Chest runs and questing is where the money is at

Getting gold in this game is the easiest I ever saw in a mmorpg.
Spend half an hour everyday doing motives/receipe run, you ll end up with one every 2 or 3 days = 20/40 k.
Or do a rune run and sell the green/blue aspect and high potency ones.
But yes, you need to spend a bit of time getting money ...

Lorkhan

i agree with u, op; wabbajack (90days) earned me 30k+ gold.
i think u deserve at least 5k for 14 days. + position 22 is a good position, congratz

That's the problem, it's stupidly easy to get gold in the rest of the game, why is the campaign so stingy? It takes many hours of play to get in the top 30, shouldn't that effort be rewarded (at least) on par with PvE?
