Ok so now im farming the golden pearl part of the upgrade, which if your luck isnt bad will be around 200 kills for 1 golden pearl, you need 2, now you’ve killed 400 mobs for 2 golden pearls assuming you haven’t gone over the drop rate. Lets say you get your pre bis spellcaster weapon, well now your choices are to buy matts which might cost you around 400 gold (for this one upgrade alone) or you can farm the matts. I’m not saying that smart investment is the real problem here, actually it’s more so the fact that the reagent drop rates are so low that it’s not viable to farm for these things that you’re forced to engage with a price gauged economy.

This basically means that the most important stages of the economy by far are within the first two months or so of the servers release, if you miss that boat good luck being always behind by having to pay marked up prices while also having less gold than those that didn’t invest. Secondly the economy has been very min maxed due to the abundance of game knowledge floating around for those that are willing to look for it. First off lets start with the base idea that a faster season means that there is less time to farm reagents and matts for anything ranging from consumables to enchants etc.
