A Splurge at the Auction House


A Splurge at the Auction House

Note: Wild's return and swift progress from nothing to max iLevel 120  had a number of twists and curves. Fun and intense, but then Wild is just one of many who have trod those paths. Wild opted to forgo all that commentary and get to the point. 

Wildshard has now reached max iLevel 120 with an overall gear score of i275. Wild is happy about that milestone, but it is not yet good enough. He's been holding on to his gold, hoping Chaitee could steer him to any bargains he might get on weapon buys. 

Wild has 43,387 gold  in his pocket and entered the Auction House determined to make the most of it. His highest level piece of gear is his i275 staff. He loves that staff, simple though it is.

Then Wildshard started spending.

His first piece of upgraded gear was an ilevel 340 wrist piece. Yes, a jump from i275 to i340. Wild then broke a few records with additional purchases, adding i340 hands, waist, legs, and feet. His biggest need turned out to be cheaper than expected, a two handed i340 Mace. When Chaitee tallied the cost of the upgrades, she told Wild he had only 13k gold left.

Wild's new ensemble gave him an overall gear score of i305.

Wild's new dudes look good - mostly. Wild likes the dark grey overall tone and has been able to keep that, but when out in the field Wild cares only that he has the best gear he can get.

That said, Wild HATES the comical look of his mace, so he makes sure he gets plenty of gore plastered on his kills.

Wild has some decisions to make now that he has upped his game. He wants to get his guild in place. He also has to get more serious about earning Artifact Power (AP) , which is the defacto method of leveling once level 120 was reached.

Wild's AP is currently AP 12 plus 75% toward AP 13.

For comparison, Demon Hunter Keya's gear score is i311. Wild still has a way to go if he decides to overtake Mahakeya. And of course Keya will have something to say about that, too.
