1 year (almost) later update

Hey. Almost a year ago I published my first post here and on reddit, and it did pretty well. Got my first reddit gold there actually, it was a pretty cool feeling. Not even a month later I stopped posting. I’ve since completely quit crafting, deleted my reddit account, quit the game for around half a year, and came back with the quarantine. The same quarantine that resulted in quite a big spike in my blog views:

Anyway, I’ve been getting a few dms on Discord lately so I thought I’d write an update here.

I returned home to Russia from China in July, so I actually had a ping where I could do somewhat serious PvP. I also had much less time as I was working a desk job again. I was doing hellgates and getting pretty good at it, found some new friends who were also doing hellgates, so I just dropped crafting completely, and I haven’t returned to it since. Crafting was really fun, I look fondly on all the drama I’ve took part in thanks to that and plot ownership, and I’m glad for all the great experiences I’ve had thanks to all that, not even mentioning it enabling me to not ever worry about silver. My guides being somewhat successful and having people write to me how it helped them was wonderfull, and I want to thank everyone who read them and especially everyone who reached out to me. For sure feel free to do that still, but keep in mind I might not have the most accurate answers to your questions, I’m not quite up to date anymore 🙂

I still play the game, but I pretty much only do 5×5 and occasionally 2×2 hellgates. If you’re interested in that content and can tolerate me and my groupies speaking russian, you’re welcome here https://www.twitch.tv/thulgrom and here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFbYrgqzk2Z37CG1weIncVQ/videos

Here’s what that looks like:

I might do some hellgate guides in the future, but I’m not sure when will that be.

That’s all for now and thanks again for reading, later guys!

Diversify your gameplay

It may sound obvious to some people and stupid to others, but you really should try different things from time to time. Not only there is a chance you’ll find new fun in the game, but you’ll also discover things that will help you with your other activities.

Doing PvE and PvP, being aware of the meta and experiencing it yourself is what will put you above other traders and crafters. You will get a feel of which items are going to be selling good, as well as get a feel for the price of a lot of gear and artifacts as you’ll be selling and buying them frequently. Shifts in the meta will always change up the prices, and sometimes you can make millions off of these shifts if you’re fast enough. You will also discover items to craft and sell with big margins naturally from selling your loot and just being curious while doing it.

On the other hand, if you PvP a lot, crafting your own gear and being aware of the prices will make you save a lot of money, and also enable you to potentially sell your loot for more silver.

I’ve been doing a lot of 5v5 HGs the last couple of days (also quite busy with work, hence no posts), and it’s extremely fun when you get together a decent team. Very good fame and money too.

This is what ~4-5 hours of hellgating in 4.1 overcharge (no capes, no expensive artifacts, average set is under 50k silver with a horse and overcharge) look like. Not sure yet, but I’m guessing this is in the ballpark of 15-20m silver.

And here are my stats as of 14th of June. Getting my PvE fame up, aiming at 25m by the end of the bonus fame week.
