average platFollow

Hi everyone, i wanted to search for this because im sure someone has asked in the past...but it says only premium accounts can...
I was just curious on average how much Platinum people have in EQII...not counting on exchange severs if you bought it all lol. Like say for a level 70-80 character? If people want to just post how much they have...or what they think the average is. Thanks!

Depends on the day. I spend money like its fake... oh wait...

I average about 9-20 plat in my shared bank box typically. But, I play on a PvP server where some of the most common money making techniques are a lot more difficult. I also do not raid more than once or twice a month. So, I suspect most PvE players average much more than me.

My monk has a hole in his hand, always spending money to finish collection quests and on a very rare occasion get an armour upgrade or spell upgrade (finally found monk heal spell at master level last week, only took me three years).

Unfortunately, as I rarely group, never raid, don't craft, I just don't have all that much income. Just vendor trash, dropped spells and collection items. I'm close to having 60pp at this moment, which is an absolute record.

Considering I started this toon years ago, it really isn't a lot of money.

Also, you can get a very good carpet in Lavastorm, with the Order of the Flame, for only 6pp and unfortunately 50.000 faction status, although that is done in a matter of days due to a lot of quests.

I know of other players who have thousands of pp, either through crafting or really knowing how to play the market.

I'm sorry but this made me laugh. I got the carpet mount within a few hours, solo. Granted thats what us Necro's do best.

Thanks everyone for your replies so far. At first i was in the Everquest 1 forum and i thought it was the eq 2 forum for a few minutes..and i saw a poll there for how much plat people had...and most people had around 50,000....and i was scared lol. I never played eq 1 that much, but i guess it must be really easy to make money or something lol. Its good to know that i am not super poor! I have about 108 right now, and have made around 200 total i think, maybe a bit more. But i am a saving freak. Ive pretty much only spent it on my mount, my house, house items, and some collection quest items. That is on a level 76 character. I have pretty much been focusing on leveling too..not on making platinum.

I'm just a lonely monk though, doing those quests alone takes some time. That and there were a lot of people doing the same quests, true I should have just grouped up with them as there aren't really drops from those void beasts in Lavastorm to fight over in a pug. (I do wonder how many other classes get a oneshotkill spell against non heroics, shame it's on a long timer lol)

We have a top-level guild hall with nearly all amenities ... upkeep about 25 plat per week! NOBODY has any money! :D

I make plat and spend it just as fast. But as of now I have 250P in shared bank because I haven't started a new Alt lol.

The economy in EQ2 is a lot more relaxed from my perspective. This would probably be due to having a "broker" and being able to sell things offline, the demand is always met (though the price can still get steep for certain items). In EQ1 I typically had around 10,000 pp amongst all my toons. Not anywhere near wealthy but enough to live within my means.

I would say I typically have around 30pp in my shared bank. The most I've had at one time was 80.

What are the tinkered mounts again?

I started playing again after a couple of years of not playing and was a bit shocked to see t8 brig masters going for 100-200 plat on average.. I have about 80 plat on me now because I've been saving every bit I can to mastered out.
