Default Just how much gold do you consider broke/decent/rich in mabi?

As the title states, I wanna hear your oppinion on the matter of gold/economic status. Also, if you were once rich/decent but then fell to being broke, please share your stories as to how/why that happened and if you once were broke but now ish "rich" or "decent" feel free to share those stories as well.

As for me, I think one would be considered "broke" if thet have less than 30k and anywhere between that and 100k would either be "higher broke" or "lesser decent." The reason for this is because even though at first any amount in the higher double-digits does seem like a lot, almost anything would take out a sizable chunk of it. For example, lets say you're an aspiring potion maker/tailor/whatever and you needed to buy materials for that and they roughly cost 5k(per stack of 5). At first it may not seem like a lot, but in the long(short) run and if you do nothing BUT said thing and nothing else, you'll easily run out of gold by the end of the day.

As for decent, Id say higher 100k to...I don't know...maybe 600k? The reasoning for this is well, you have enough gold to sustain yourself and most things and are able to buy most things without worrying/not making a dent in your wallet/money bag. You can buy armor, weapons, clothing, and the like while still having more than enough to spare. "You lost your weapon/clothes/armor in a dungeon? Oh well, it can easily be replaced or bought back from the lost and found" kind of thinking fits into this category.

As fo for rich, Id say 700k and beyond...yeah...no need to explain on what you could do at this stage.

As for me...I'm broke and have at most 50k total. The funny/sad thing is, not too long ago (perhaps a month ago, maybe more/less) I had around 500k, but just how did I become broke? Well, aound this time my gf got interested in the game and decided that she wanted to play it with me. I gave her 50k to help her start off and I then bought moon armor (dont know the whole name), the day afterwards we found some cool armor for 100k and I decided to buy it for her (trust me...its heavy armor and looks nothing like it ) as well as a starry wizard hat (40k). After this she ran out of gold and I gave her 50k more, she needed my help to reach lvl 25 so we could go to TNN (she recently rebirthed at lvl30) and she was busy on the friday so she asked me to help her and thought "Ill just take her char to Rabbie (since I always go there)." Bad idea..in the second floor this red skeleton walked up to me while I was in counter and just stood there instead of attacking. A few seconds later with zero stamina, I try my odds and well...epic phail and the bloody skeleton knocks out the hat. I tell her what happened, she didnt get mad at me but got sad since she really liked the hat, so I gave her the gold needed to buy it back (after all, it was my fault she lost it). In the end...that leaves me with 150k. The day afterwards...I fail at trying to put a stiff enchant on my claymore (had an enchanter help and I had no idea about the ladder/suffix and prefix thing). Used up 60k that day...and then tried it again a few days afterwards, this time: success. So thats my story on how i went from having 500k to 50k.

Broke: 20k or less
Decent: 21K~75K
Rich:76K or More

That was a very sad story on how you lost the cash by the way... good luck getting your cash back. Oh, and to make your situation feel a bit better, look at my gold pouch...

My Gold Pouch: 66G...

Broke: You have just enough money to repair your weapon, or not enough money to repair your weapon. (Or not enough money/just enough money for regular combat)

Decent: You have enough money for decent amount of spending to buy 'small' things. Things that are sold in people's stores regularly. (Dyes, Fox/Giant items for burning, Thunder pages except page 4, etc.)

Rich: You have enough money to buy rare items (AR8+, FB10, 100+ Finest Leather, etc.) and/or feed your ego with NPC stuff without ever fear of going down to decent or broke status.

Those are what I consider Broke/Decent/Rich.

I usually always carry 100k with me, but I do not consider myself rich (I have over 200k in the bank too, lol). To me, rich is above 500k. I would say less than 30k is broke. lol. I barely do repairs because I always have holy water (I'm a diligent at the church part time job in Tir) and the only weapon I use is a mace with kite shield (I have 2 maces, one is fully upgraded).

Poor: lower than decent.

Decent: Able to buy necessities. Repair weapon, buy feathers, bandages, pots. Basically, able to live and survive without financial worry.

Typical: Same as decent, but also has a small stock... maybe 1 or 2 hundred k, for luxury items.

Rich: beyond Typical.
