Like it says on the tin, what can it be used for? I kinda just took it for granted that it would be useful, but thinking over it, I cant figure it out. The shops take real money, with only das shoppe taking ingame currency. So, apart from bribes and the such, what can it be used for? Cheers!

Nice list, much oblidged!

I use mine to fund my "make" skills - making the Lammies for weapons, armour, potions, poisons etc., with a little set aside every now and again for a visit to the casino.

Paying guild fee's is one not listed so far..

Really good if you do guild stuff.

No no its fine Theomach, though thats very noble of you. I feel it only necessary to come find you at the Gathering and rid you of any gold that might be encumbering you ^^ (I jest, I'm far to lazy to track down and rob someone : ) ))

So if, as the Gathering is my first ever event, I find a group before hand and figure out a half dozen ways to make money, whats the max amount ya reckon is possible to make in one gathering? This is simply a curiosity and I dont expect to make much stel when I'm there, but greed is a nice inchar motive :P

Damn you and your realism! Yeh, you have a good point. I guess I'll just steal, earn, pinch and make what gold I can with the chances I get : )

It's always good to keep your ear to the ground as well. The Event Support Team sometimes put a call out for some help (OOC), but we do have a tendancy to reward with IC money. An example may be we put a call out to each faction security to see if anyone is willing to help deliver wood for burning each day, If your interested, speak to your faction security at the start of the event and get them to radio down that your willing and able. I won't necessarily pay a staggering amount, but keeps the helpers happy, really helps out the Event Support Team and it always brings a smile to our faces, as its extremely rare to get people willing to work for plastic coins ;-)

Money can also be made while monstering. They will offer to pay you either in gold or a portion of an osp (think you get a stamp per monstering slot and 10 stamps gives you an OSP but I might be wrong)

Money can buy you lots of things
1 - potions, poisons, weapons, armour, shields. Pretty much anything with a lammie as long as you have enough. Also if you have a craft skill it costs you gold to make items too.
2 - ritual slots. If you want to power yourself up lots and lots often a ritual is the best way to do it. If you're not part of a group/faction with a lot of ritual power and they aren't willing to help you out you can hire yourself a ritualist and a contributer and buy a slot if there's a spare one.
3 - stuff. All the way from the kind of things that Peggy sells, such as weapons, clothes, disguises (for hire), to jewellery, some sweets etc.
4 - services. IC services can range from bodyguards, assassins and brothels. (Insert plug here for the Officer's Mess :D)

See gold can be very, very useful.

IC brothel; OOC massage. If you overstep the bounds we normally have some bruisers near by to take care of you :P
