    Probably about 1.3 mil. Bought a couple of the 250k stone polymorphs and bought plenty of runes, armor, and crafting bags too. Have around 650k stones left in my bank now. Pretty much all earned from killing players, I never farm mobs. Still holding out hope ZoS adds gold upgrade materials to the tel var merchant.

    It used to be my favorite place to be. I loved going through the sewers, soloing the sewer bosses, and clearing all the rooms. Then they nerfed it into Oblivion, and I rarely visit it now, and if I do it's to just kill all the district bosses for TV. It went from being fun to meh with one big nerf hammer.

    I've been inside IC 2 times (except for my faction base. I used to go there all the time to craft on my PvP char before I learned that there are stations at one of the gates).

    1 of those times I did sewers with my guild.

    Considering I purchased Black Rose, Shield Breaker and Powerful Assault back when they cost 10k Telvar a piece on top of getting Imperial Physique and Vicecannon, as well as the murder spree that was the IC event, I daresay I've made well into the 5mil Tel Var area (Got 3mil stashed away atm)

    I've only really been to IC for fishing (because apparently I hate myself), and have only fought things when I absolutely had to. You could get ganked at any moment, and that just ain't fun.

    Not sure the #.

    Pretty sure I've lost more than I've made.

    50% loss from stupid PvE deaths is still a bit ridiculous.

    I actually have no idea because I've always spent it pretty much as quickly as I've banked it, so I'm totally guessing on how much I've earned in total.

    Remember when the only way to get max-level mats was by deconstructing gear dropped in Imperial City or group dungeons scaled to VR16, or by spending TV stones to buy the mats? Yeah, back then I was buying up mats with TV stones as quickly as I could to try to replace some of my VR14 gear.

    I find it hard to believe that anybody has banked over 50 mil stones. You would have had to bank well over 100,000 stones EVERY SINGLE DAY since IC was released. You'd either still have 10s of millions of stones left in your bank or you'd have bought a ridiculous amount of polymorphs/runes/materials/etc.

    Honestly, it was a necessary change. It used to be that if people saw enemy players coming, or if they had picked up a lot of TV stones and didn't want to run the risk of going through the sewers to get back and bank it, they'd just suicide to mobs. As much as I'm far more likely to be the one getting killed by enemy players and losing my stones to them than I am to be the one killing enemy players and taking their stones, I still think the "suicide to mobs" tactic was always a bit of a cheap thing to do.

    I spent over 100k Telvar getting Vicecannon only to realize that the tooltips on online websites were out of date and the 5th piece only procced if you were CROUCHED, not just in "sneak".

    Then of course there's the 35k for Black Rose.

    50% loss from a PvE death is fair - I wish there were greater penalties throughout the game for PvE death.

    That's one of the two major factors what makes IC exciting and not an absolute faceroll like other PvE content - you can't just steamroll over everything in your path. You have to move forward cautiously because of a) - enemy players and b) - Roving bosses.

    The Tel Var penalty ups the stakes a bit - not like in other content where if you die 10 times the only penalty is that you have to repair your equipment.

    It weird so many entered the dlc & just didn't fight for more then an a few hours...
    Like why'd you leave XP, gold, Tel-var, & AP?

    Is the extra death & despair cramping role play?
    Are you going around in pure stealth to avoid everything & thus get nothing?
    Are you not a brave adventurer?
    As you wouldn't be there for the Tel-var...

    I have around 120k in my bank atm & I have spent around 100k on gear sets, runes & mats. I really liked IC at first when the mobs were hard & the telvar drop rate was 80% for player kills & 20% for PVE deaths. It seems a bit stale now.
