I hate losing

and especially losing to these GOLD FARMING slugs.

So, I refuse to let them clog up the newsgroup with their posts and
have nothing posted of my own. This newsgroup is about the only CoH/V
site I can get to at work and I don't want to see it fall to the
spammers.

Now... I need something to say.

I've never had a 'rich' character, in fact, I've always struggled to
pay for enhancements and other stuff. Wentworths has helped me change
all of that. I can - in about an hours worth of time - make close to a
million influence by doing what I think of as 'day trading'.

I go to Wentworth's and bid on level 50 recipes that aren't very
popular. I bid around a 1000 influence for 10 of them and fill all of
my slots with the bids. I then go play the game. When I have down time
(after leveling or right before logging off) I go and pick up my
purchases and sell them at the store for 10000 influence each. I'm
making a little less than 9000 influence on each of them and I can
usually fill all 13 slots in my recipe storage. I'm clearing just a
bit more than 100,000 per trip and on a good night I can make 4 trips
in a row. I do that when I first log on and when I log off. Throw in
the odd salvage that is worth actually listing and I can profit a
million influence per day.

My main toon, Ninja Daddy 34 MA/SR, is now hiring lowbies in the
Hollows to do missions with him so he can work on his mentoring
badges. I paid one level 11 toon 50,000 to do a mission with me. It
makes the game more fun for me when I can spread the wealth around. If/
when I get so lucky as to get a rare costume drop I plan to sell it
and run several contests in Atlas just to spread the joy.

All in all, I like the changes that Wentworth's have brought around.

That's sweet. I'll have to try it.

Another good suggestion I saw on the forum is farming for magical
salvage in Perez (hunting Hellions between level 9 and 12) and
eventually graduating to Banished Pantheon in Dark Astoria.

I'm getting really annoyed that all my missions are for tech
salvage droppers.o

Leveling up a Regen scrapper has been quite interesting. I've
felt like I'm in God mode for most of my career, but certain
stuff that I never feared with other characters just houses me,
e.g., Nightwolves and Circle of Thorns spirits. I'm getting a
first class lesson in which critters have massive burst damage,
and which don't.

This is almost as educational as when I switched from Scrappers
to Blasters last summer. I kept saying stuff like, "Huh. So Ink
Men have mezzes?"
