I'm basically new to the game and I'd like to ask how people will allocate their first 800 platinums.
With my limited knowledge of the game, here's mine:
90 : Maps
50 : Vanity Items
10 : Ring
30 : Stash Slots
150 : Auction Slots
30 : Inventory Slots
440 : Elixirs
What's yours? Thanks!
800 = elixirs
id spend it on maps/vanities. but i only have like 15 dollars on my itunes tehe
oh and on auction slots, stash slots, and inventory slots too
Depends what level you are and if you PvP or not..Quote:

If you are lower level, spend 700 on elixirs, 10 on ring, and 15 on a CTF map in case you get bored :D
500, Omnipotent Crown Of Dreams,
(Looks Sick On Bears Only)
None on elixers for sure (I'm a hardcore gamer.)
Maps 30
CTF 20
Inventory 15
Auction Slots 150
Stash Slots 30
780 to elies and 20 to some respecs ;-)
Instead of buying all the maps & vanities at once, you may want to wait and see if they come up as a Daily Deal and pick them up at a reduced price. I also recommend you pick up a hat, face and ring vanity that give a stat bonus (I think some hats give a +1 Armor bonus, face and rings stats vary depending on what you want to improve). I do understand why some players buy a hat vanity with no bonus in order to be different given that at some stages of the game we're all in a very similar gear load out, but I have to have some bang for the buck...
Don't stress too much, its a game, just remember what STS says when you log in, Be Nice & Have Fun! Good luck and hope to see you in the game sometime!
EDIT: Forgot to say, I definitely concur with everyone earlier who wrote about saving some for respecs. Trust me, you'll respec at some point in the game!
first map then the rest on elixers and remember buy all the maps
Respecs! lol atleast that was the case when I first started twinking.
799 to elixirs.... The other one idk
You forgot extra toons, which is probably the best use of plat.
If they had toon slots as a daily deal, I'd be all over that!
Id just buy 2000 plat and buy all maps and things like ctf. And waiting to purchase these as a deal of the day would probably be a good move.
I also have many characters... but nkw that we should see frequent lvl cap increases, this seems less important. Somehow i aquired 18 characters.
Rings for different characters. Respecs. 50-100 extra incentory slots for non twink characters. Im not much into elixirs, but im running with xp elixir from now on.
800 plat went to maps and upgrades
Wait! Buy a new char. Slot for 5 plat then buy premium character on it for 30 plat. You will get 10 slots in cs and a bunch of extras all equaling out to about 130 platinum saved.

maps, one vanity that goes with ur look, one ring for 10 plat, rest on elixirs. save plat over time for new sales.
How do I post won't let me but here's what I would post
If anyone gives me an xray visor :) I'd give u the best pvp k/d ratio (when pvp for SL cones out) :) just friend killmepvp and give me visor.
Gee, lots of useful tips, thanks guys. I still haven't bought a single platinum. I've managed to reach level 51 on my pure int mage. I'm actually proud that I've reached this far without plat. I'm not in a hurry to level up, in fact, I'd like to slow down my xp gains because the prices of item sets at my level are no joke (currently trying to complete Shadow Glowstick set), and I want to be able to have enough profit from liquidation and cs sales to maintain good purchasing power in relation to my current level. At this point, I feel I could still enjoy the game without the plat, though I heard Nuri's will prove to be difficult for a squishy mage w/o pots, so I think once I hit 55, I'll buy the package to boost me to level 60 (or 66 once they increase the cap). The hardest part of my journey so far has been money. I found it hard to save when your average liquidation is 100/item and you're looking at prices that are easily surpassing the 100k, it's really starting to become a chore, though still tolerable. The 1 slot in the auction is not helping either, I have tons of pinks that I couldn't really make profit of them since it takes a while to sell something in cs. So I resort to "shouting" in townes which isn't really a big help unless you're selling an uber rare item. Anyway, going back on topic, given my added knowledge of the game, my platinum allocation sorta relaxed and became more situational: I'd still buy all the maps (for my 2nd character), the rest I'll just spend on elixirs on an "as and when" needed basis, I learned that you cannot really plot what to spend since patches come once in a while so you have to have a little spare platinum, like the halloween quest now, which I'll be missing since I refuse to spend just to rent a costume. In terms of vanity, it doesn't really hurt to look badass in the game, for me, it's worth to look good, however, I haven't found any vanity equips that really stimulates me (...in a non sexual way of course) including that ox-looking helm, it's just "meh", but I would spend 500 plat in a heartbeat if I see an angel-like wing vanity or an aura vanity like a supar saiyan LoL. What I'm basically saying is, I think plats should be on an as and when basis although as much as possible, go natural so you enjoy the game's natural difficulty. Well, when I reach level 55, maybe I'll post my insights again on spending plats. Cheers and see you in-game!
