Gandalf14141 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I've wanted both a phat and 99 mage for awhile. I'm thinking of killing green dragons for ~200m. So what should I do?

x1strife Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 P hat is useless, and I didn't think 99 mage costed as much as a party hat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troacctid Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Phat is useless, 99 mage is useful. Seems like a no-brainer. :shades: Read my blog | Follow me on Twitter | Track my XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methud Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 A phat will always go up in price so I would say get a phat but u cant buy one off the GE just to let you know. They are worth way more than their GE price. Also Greens make like 700k/hr max with an empty world. How much moeny do u got to start of with?

xpx Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 What makes you think you can get a partyhat by just having the cash to buy one at ge price? getting a partyhat is certainly harder to achieve than most 99's these days. As for advice, i think you should do whatever you find being more fun, as they are two completely different goals. First to 99 Farming on 27. September, 2005.First to 3766 Port Score on 20.

Quyneax Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I voted magic since it's more useful. If you want a phat, you might as well get a better moneymaking method as the investment will pay off. I suggest frost dragons/96 summ (barraging for charms also getting you 99 mage).

Obtaurian Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 200m is nowhere near enough for a partyhat, but it's way more than enough for 99 magic. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghjkl Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Phats cost like 1b or something lol.Green drags are 500k an hour.It will take 2000 hours to get 1bil doing green drags.I guarantee you that that will mentally scar you, 2000 hours is 80 days non stop playing or like 6 hours a day for a year.How fun would it be to spend 2000 hours camping green drags with 1071390713 bots competing with you.

Sir_Squab Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Frankly, if getting a p hat is actually POSSIBLE for you, get the p hat imo. That being said, I find it absurd that you'd compare the two. Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller. (At one point.) 2000+ total. 99 Magic.[spoiler=The rest of my sig. You know you wanna see it.]my difinition of noob is i dont like u, either u are better then me or u are worst them meBuying spins make you a bad person...don't do it. It's like buying nukes for North Korea.Well if it bothers you that the game is more fun now, then you can go cry in a corner. :shame:your article was the equivalent of a circumcized porcupineThe only thing wrong with it is the lack of a percentage for when you need to stroke it.

sumondskull6 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 If you're using green dragons as a method of making cash, you obviously wont know how to obtain a phat, let alone actually make the cash for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phats will continue to raise in price and it will always be out of reach with a slow money-making method like that.Your only real way of getting a phat is by getting into the rares market and starting to flip, merch, trade, etc until you've got the street value for one.So to summarize: just go for 99 mage.

gremmy Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Phat. And it's not useless - rares in general have a tendency to rise 50-75% yearly, so it's a good longterm investment.

Jeffwilson99 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Maybe you should start with a smaller goal, say like making 100 mil from green dragons :thumbup: Then you'll be sick of it and be ready to get on with 99 mage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 If you want a phat you better get a) merching and b) moneymaking at 3+m/hr or c) corping for divine.

TheKoolKandy Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Phat. And it's not useless - rares in general have a tendency to rise 50-75% yearly, so it's a good longterm investment.If you're any good at flipping you can increase your cashpile a couple % a day. So even if you only made money on 2/3 of your flips you would make more money than hoarding a phat. But anyways 99 mage is more useful, get that, boss hunt, get more money, get a phat.
