What if you could also buy npcs to man your sieges? Then again necromancer thingy... got to keep the dream alive.0 -

✭✭✭✭I mostly hoard it but I am still trying to finish off 1 or 2 motif sets along with the new ones that were just released so I will buy the ones i need if I see them priced well.1 -
Narvuntien✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Its just another way to "win" the game... see progression in game.
Typically I hoard it for a bit then just splash it all out new gear, then hoard some more. Perhaps when I get up to another gold level I might splash on a BIG HOUSE to celibrate.
But overall collecting it feels like progression in its own right.0 -

Flameheart✭✭✭✭✭Getting as much motif styles as possible by daily quests, buying the missing ones. Furthermore...just imagine you are raiding at least 3 times a week and look up the prices for corn flowers. Sometimes I spend my money on gear for a second role equip, if it is BoE (Plague Doctor, Akaviri), but usually they are drop sets anyway or can be crafted (Torug).

So let the snow flakes and unicorns dance alone until they melt or vanish from existence, we will finish up with those smart enough to stay in the glowing circle of love.

lardvader✭✭✭✭✭I usually save my gold until around 3 mill then I go on spending sprees. Yesterday I bought the remaining houses to finish off the achievements. After that I spent a few hundred thousands on missing motifs. Stopped at 700k so will be saving again for some time.
Won't use any gold on houses but I'm still missing around 7 motifs and a bunch of furniture recipes if I want to finnish the achievements on my crafter.
Still keep a few million of AP if the golden turn up with anything useful.CP 1200+ PC EU EP0 -
ArvenAldmeri✭✭✭✭✭Multiple answers. I buy crafting materials, motif pages, housing stuff, potions and sometimes gear if its from pvp boxes.Magicka sorcerer from start until the end. Always. Through the good times and the bad, even now when its probably saddest PvE dps it has ever been.
Even as an owner of one radiant apex mounts I am against radiant apex mounts and anything thats not obtainable by direct purchase.0 -

rhapsodious✭✭✭✭✭
✭I saved up gold each time to buy a manor for crowns, did that, now I'm back at about 1.2MM. I look for good deals on missing motif pages when I just can't be bothered to farm further (or when I'm missing like 3 and I get one I know for the eighth time), good deals on alchemy mats, sometimes recipes, and whatever the luxury vendor is offering that weekend.
I don't like dipping below a million, but I shave a bit off the top here and there to use as fun money in the game. Unfortunately, when you get to the point where the only stuff you're missing to collect is exorbitantly expensive...0 -
Linaleah✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭mostly housing stuffs. but also missing motif chapters when I get tired of farming them myself/cannot be bothered. very occasionally I supplement with rubedite/ansestral silk/ruby ash - sometimes blue and purple tempers (run short on those every once in a while). every one in a while, I grab world drop gear for an alt. but mostly housing. even my crafting material shopping most of the time relates to housing (like tempers, or any time I come across decently priced rakeipa's)dirty worthless casual.

Tandor✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I have very little gold, probably about 100,000 across two accounts after playing since PC launch. My characters are pretty self-sufficient and I am neither a trader nor a farmer. My houses are all bought with crowns, mainly from the subscription allowance.0 -

HA! There's nothing like spending 10k gold to earn enough AP to get you a 2k end of campaign award

Leandor✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Other, in the sense that I do multiple things of the above:
- hoard it until:
- I need to upgrade some kit and am out of mats
- Some of the motifs my crafter is missing have finally dropped to an acceptable cost (less than 10k per page)
- Some housing items I definitely must have or I die pop up
- I am very desparate for those fire balistas to leech ap from a bomb group.
I do set my low limit of banked gold, though, and not go below that. Limit's currently at 2mil banked.Edited by Leandor on November 27, 2017 3:33PM0
