LOL… I know what you mean, another 5 million silvers for a boat does sound like a lot at first. But since you've said you don't want to quit the game,the only other option is to continue to play. So take it a day at a time. If you think you need some tips on making money, drop into the chat room and ask. There are a lot of knowledgable people there who are willing to answer questions when asked respectfully.
You really can’t be effective or successful on the Island of TA until you’re a level 31 anyway, so use the time it takes to get there to make the money you need for the boat. As was said earlier, the higher your level the easier it is to make money. Also, each level takes longer to achieve, so you’ll have plenty of time to make it before you actually need it.
What else would you be doing if you weren’t fighting monsters, selling items, digging gems, stealing from people or robbing houses for silver, anyway? There is no time limit. You can take as long as you want to get there. Forget about the goal being that huge
5 MILLION
number…. And pretty soon you’ll be there and beyond.
At level 18 or so, I felt the same way you do, but kept plugging away and now my level 25 character has paid the King and has more than 5 million silvers in the bank. I have another 6 levels to attain before a boat is going to do me any good. So now I’m just sitting back enjoying the scenery, which would be going by whether I was here doing this or not. Getting there is
MORE
than half the fun.
So stop stressing, sit back and enjoy the trip. That's what it's all about anyway.
Smiles :D :D :D
