And what about meeles on horus? We dont have any saved up money on other characters. With my barb (yes, we also have this problem, not only knights) Im trying to save up as much money as I can and these are results(Im a 26 lvl barb):
1. I have done all quests for lvls 1-23 (saving the rest of them for further lvling).
2. I have neither bought any armor, nor repaired my old one (everything I've worn came from loot/quests. Because Im not lucky highest armor I've had was for lvl 12, last part has broken on lvl 19 or 20, or so, and since then Im lvling completely naked).
3. Weapons - I've bought one for lvl 14, found one on lvl 17 and bought one on lvl 23.
4. I've sold all loot I found, all weapons I got from quests (here we have a problem for barbs - every class BUT barb gets from runestones quest serie weapon for almost every lvl - mages got staffs, archers bows, knight - weapons for them. But barb as well as knight gets 1 handed weapon which he cant actually use, because he sucks with it. Remember that 2h barb weapons are noticably more expensive than 1h knight ones. Example - 23lvl 1h sword - 38k. 2h sword - 51k. Difference raises with lvl.)
5. Even with these huge sacrifices I have earned only 217k gold (minus 2 weapon costs). From pure curiosity I've checked how much gold I'd have to spend to buy a new weapon + full armor. Summing up it costs over 118k gold. Over a half gold I've earned during whole game to buy new stuff for 1, still low, lvl... There is smth unfair here, imho.
Spent some time on writing this post, checking different things I've posted here in game, cant remember if I've written everything I wanted (read: every disadvantages of actual eco situation for barbs/knights), actually Im pretty sure its not all, but I cant remind myself at this moment other troubles I've had.
I really do like many things in this game, its actually 1st time ever Im complaining about smth openly on the forum, but actual economy has to change...
/edit:
Oh, yes, thing I forgot about:
This eco is a deadly combination with fatigue system. Mobs on lvl 26 do to my unarmored barb as high dmg as mobs on lvl 45 do to my lvl 43 fully armored barb. Result? I can kill 3-5 mobs killed MAX (when majority of my hits arent evaded/resisted), then I have to rest. This way fatigue reaches me after pretty few kills (comparing to other classes) and its pretty hard to lvl (thank God I've met 2 friendly conjus here who enable me to lvl effective - without them I would barely do lvl 19-20 max.)
