Leave the gold alone!! If you have half a brain you can make 100k in less than an hour, and that's with a lvl15 character. Also as skyline has pointed out, sell everything, you should return to town on your bag weight. Hell I even pick up mp pots that I don't use and flogg them back to the shop. I also sell things back to the shop, not use the junk man as he skims some too. People are just being lazy. I want to hunt for free so make more gold or pots drop.. This for me was always part of mir, actually micro managing your finances too, this also had the knock on effect of limiting speed at which people were leveling. As people have said, far too many seem to want to be able to play mir in a particular style, ie lvl fast and not worry about cash. This server is different, it forces you to play using a variety of different tactics, if that is troublesome for you, then find another server that gives it all to you on a plate, or adapt, use your brain and try and find ways of making cash efficiently as possible.

Agreed completely with above.

if you leveling and not covering pot costs you are leveling in the wrong place, your skills kit and lack of levels means you in places you shouldn't. For example I see wizzys and archers in psc at level 17.... sure you can killl them but lack of above means its costs 3 times as much.

Actually been finding gold gains good lately, usually me and a friend spend 1 hour in a harder place for great exp gain, then head to somewhere easier for less exp gains but good money, it evens out very well this way.

The server has only been up less than a week, of course its going to be hard to startup. Leave the gold as is.

As I said, people are trying too hard to level as quick as possible. Therefore hunting solo in areas that's too difficult for them and burning pots.

Wizards are the worst for it, as they will be trying to lure loads, FW, FW, FW, Lightning etc. Which obviously burns pots like you've never known.

Gold is fine, increase it and it will soon have no worth.

IF people picked up items and sold them to junk man during hunts they'd have plenty of money. Noticed thats a big thing on here people dont realize how those little transactions stack up.

gold is fine. seriously we have just become used to being handed everything on a silver plate. increased cast rates, increased stats, increased expm increased gold. keep gold as it is and keep items rare.
armour sale price to too low at 1000

I'm a 28 Archer and now I have attuned mind lvl1 i don't use pots unless desperate. I use SS till i run out of mana AM an just normal hit mobs with archery and use SS when available an that's in PSC.
Lack of basic item drops is annoying but in a group hunt last night got nothing in 2 hours then in the space of 5 mins we got 33 Tao and War armour, SD and RapidFire. Very similar to euro mir in drops

Can make around 100k an hour doing repeating a low level board quest, and selling the nooby drops. Sacrifice alot of xp to do this tho, which is fine.

Couldn't agree more with the auto gold share, being in a group while hunting never get any gold being a archer, being range everyone else gets the gold before you so really I get sod all from hunts, I spend way to much on pots for levelling hunts, caves just don't pay out to cover the pots. Quests are nice but some are tedious, urrgghhh.

I'd say now also keep it the way it is, I had some thin runs some days but now it seems ok.

I still think those low level mobs outdoor ones, the ones pple start on with, might occasionally mass drop and drop some added stat items, it can't hurt the server at that level and especially new pple are not put off. I remember how on euro I was first day out and got ebony with aded stat from scarecrow which I then sold on to other noob when I outgrew it, it was great. But nowt like that happens here, I leveled a bit couple new chars btw. Not sure if added stats can be set for just certain level items but having some copper rings +1 whatever can't ever hurt anything.

I have played very few private mir servers due to them not being like euro mir, which I spent many happy hours leveling, boss hunting etc. and therefore I have been looking forward to this server since I heard of its release.

One thing I have noticed that it is a lot harder to break even on here than it use to be on euro mir. I rolled a warrior due to it being my favourite class, but quickly found out that a warrior is an absoloute nightmare to level compared to sins and archers, especially pre 32. I've spent just about all my leveling time in OC, mines and now BC. BC gold is poor compared to what it use to be on euro mir and I'm yet to have a mass drop happen, well apart from ET's ofc. I rememeber bug cave in euro to be a place to grind to collect all the 'trash' items that drop, till your bag is full then back to town to sell up. That doesnt seem to be the case on here, I am coming away from a long hunt in BC with a half full bag and a couple of 22 armors that only appear to be worth between 1800-2200 gold.

I'm not giving a solution to this problem as I don't have one, but I think there is something wrong when people are struggling to hunt the most simple of caves due to cost of repairs and pots outweighing what they are recieving in trash and gold drops. Hunting chestnuts for cash is not fun...

One quick solution comes to mind - up drop rate of gold across all monsters by say 10-25% and reduce the amount of chestnut trees by 1/2? But then again I'm not one to complain about it being hard(ish) to get gold, you can always go back and harvest ALL those trees and mushrooms.

personally i think gold rate is fine how it is (after all it should be your hard work that makes you rich not being lazy) made well over 100k while gathering mats to make arrows this morning
