I head for the auction house. I'm going to show the rest of the Shire the meaning of the word style. I want some of those fancy elven duds and a few of bottles of green dye. Or maybe black, if that's available.
Fifteen minutes later I'm back outside. I am still dressed like a colorblind vagabond. I have not bought anything. This is not going to change soon.
It turns out I'm a little short for the sort of gear I want to buy. It turns out I need something in the neighborhood of all of my money times ten to make this sort of purchase. Are these clothes woven from the eyelashes of virgin albino elven princesses? Is green dye squeezed from Dragon gonads or something? Why is this stuff so expensive?
So I need a lot of money. The average job pays about 90 coppers, which is just short of 1 silver. And I need a lot of silver. Which means I need to do a lot of jobs. Who is it around here that has a lot of work available?
Wouldn't that be...
Noooooooooooooooooo!
Next time: Gold farming!
I mailed it to you.
