I've got 30 plat. Won't be able to get more for awhile and I'm sitting at level 40 probably with a rapidly dwindling window before the cap raises again.
Thankfully I'm in a guild, which gives me some pretty nifty enhancers. Do I blow it all on a 4x enhancer for a half hour, a 'normal' multi and some respecs? Grab a new shield?
Does not help I don't know how the xp anywhere bit works. Could I grab that and go to cycorp and just lay waste to Everything there for five minutes and get xp? If so then pairing it with a 4x enhancer from guild would be most helpful.
Or does 'xp anywhere' only really help if you go to an area you just exited an xp gain from (in my case shipyard.)

you don't need plat to lvl up, it does help but not worth it if you just have 30 plat. I suggest you download some free apps and get 5 plat and then use the 35 plat for a premium char.

Need? no. Would it speed the process up? Sure! Now how do i make it speed up the most with what I've got?
Or hould i just expand inventory, get a second auction bay respec. and such?

as javier says if you can get 5 more plat, you can buy extra chrachter slot for 5 plat, and make new premium char. Premium char has 100 inventry, 4 platinum sets,10 auction slots , some extra stims and energy packs.... please confirm moderators if i made any mistake or missed something.

I personally think you should avoid elixirs. This is because of two reasons:
You can get addicted, where you think the normal level of xp gain is twice or three times the normal.
You don't have enough plat to consistently buy em.

Yea it would speed up the process, but with 30 plat it wouldn't be a lot. I still suggest not to buy any, just go with dailys.
No don't buy extra inv slots or an extra auction bay. Extra inv slots and 10 auction bay slots (75 plat for 10) are all included (and more too!) in a premium character, and it only costs 30 plat! 35 plat if you don't have a spare character slot. It you buy everything that's included in the premium character separately (not buying a premium character) its over 150 plat.
The premium character is the best deal to spend 30 plat it that's all you have. That's my $0.02 tho:)

Dont worry u still got time. Like 2 months to cap.
No need for elixir really, many have cap already at 41 without it. Just be efficient when u exp if u have minimum time of play. Dun forget ur free daily elix and get a good group.
Like many said better use it for premium character. Its a worthy investment.
10 auction slots is a must. Bigger bag.
Also u get lvl1-5-10-15 armor, shoe, sleeve the best for pvp at that lvl.
Or you might want to save for next plat pinks like we had combo pink gun with pink plat shield, we will probably see something similar again later. Maybe even sooner since we dont have pink yet introduced in voleria map...

Other idea I had was re-speccing everything.
Approximate Stats:
40ish Str
40ish Dex
120 Int
Forget the skill names.
2 points on that first skill (single person DoT.
1 point second skill (lifetap/DoT)
Full heal/Full Revive
Nothing on the next two skills
3 points on the group shield thing.
4 points on bomb. And the next area damage skill after that is maxed (or close to it.)
Aiming for a good PvE build.
Also I'm going to get more plat when a little more money frees up, so I'll be able to get enough for a second char slot anyway, it'll just have to wait.

When i need a break from grinding to cap, i pop on net flix and do some free plat downloads. I've gotten up to 50 plat in an hour. How you spend it is your choice, but if you decide to purchase lix in the GH, i would go with a 2x xp on for 5 plat. Personally, i use the 3x xp and 2x damage. the quicker things dies, the faster you can kill more things, and the more xp you can get in a half hour.

OMG only the best thing EVER! It's a pay per month video "rental" type thing, but the stuff is available over the internet. Tons of movies and tv shows. Check it out if its available in UK, i really wouldn't know.

Well the problem is pretty much all the free plat offers are unuseable on the chrome version and I don't have a smart phone (severe ADHD, it is /NOT/ a smart idea for me to have one.)
Can't even connect facebook from chrome, which makes me go O.o.

no ipod or tablet or some other device you could use? Also, maybe you could borrow a friends phone and use it for the free plat offers. Make sure you don't save your PW in, and i would just delete SL off the device after if you can manage to find someone to let you do this. I see way too many people getting banned bc someone else access their account and acted a fool.

Nobody thatd be willing ot lend me their phone. I've done a good job of explaining why letting someone sit and muck with your phone is generally a bad idea.
That and I don't like people on my computer Fair is fair.

Appreciated.
Kindof the whole point of the thread. Limited plat (with a bit more coming in a few weeks most likely) so wanted input on best spending stratagy.

this will reduce the amount you spend finding a build to be happy with. But if your looking to use a lix for leveling, i still recommend sticking to 2x lix for 5 plat from the GH
