Hi newbie,
AR's take a lot of gold points to max out (around 2m, can be mined at elan during weekends)
Make sure to loot the stuff u kill, booty is auto-sold and sells for a lot, it will fund ur armour and maus
Armour isnt as big of a deal for PVE as u might think
If u need any help just pm me ingame, my names Fire
it was a currency added with the golden age, u use it to buy stuff from golden piggies (or in this case the pvp vendor also wants gp for some stuff and the item shop also wants gp)
normaly u got it from mining after a cw in crag and from killing the golden pigs in sette/ether
but here most mobs drop gold points, some more than others
for mining it at elan during the weekend at lv70 u get 15 per 10seconds and every lvl under 70 takes 1 gold point off what u get
