    Some people say buying is fast, not of you do it correctly. What I do:
    Aim for an item
    Watch the price in CS about how it fluctuates day to day
    During those days, farm!
    All goes wrong? Buy, but only for the right price!

    I don't understand.
    Whatever you do, you are obviously going to have to farm to get your gold.
    What else will you use to buy?
    Foundation IS farming. Then you use that gold to buy stuff.

    No but usually, when you buy, you already have gold.

    Three conditions if you'll buy them: You've enough funds for humania (even after buying dragon vanities), you're not doing well in PVP, and you're not wearing at least 2 level cap vanities, then buy them (together with the dragon pet). If not, just farm them, no reason to hurry, wait for humania, observe the market price of new item sets, and only buy dragon vanities after you're sure you'll have enough funds to buy the new item sets. That's just me.

    Thanks for the help! But why 2 level cap vanities? why not 1 or 3?

    Simple solution for yuh:
    Have time, farm.
    Have gold, buy.

    PL: Main-Bigglsworth level 66 Enchantress, Twink-Vvarpvp level 12 Dex Bear

    If you're not wearing "at least 2" (that includes 3) level cap vanities, there would be no bonus. That's why if you only have 1, then you've the more reason to go for it as soon as possible to take advantage of the bonus of the dragon set, like I said, together with having enough gold and not doing well in PVP (because of lack of bonus stat), it makes sense to buy it right away, otherwise, farm it.
