Just burnt 45 euro but got some sayhas so at least I don't have to check on the bar some days, the b/c gear pack, the goodies from one equipment pack box and some coins to get to alligators a few times. While with this investment I won't be getting items oe or anything op at least it don't feel so poor and is dramatically different from 0 investment, anyway I already see myself topping up in a couple of weeks and doubling the monthly ammount I initially planned
As for trans instance, I had mages and archers as alts and always had to run and group mobs, but could always autofarm with my main soulhound or bd alt.
