Just after new update, SHE found this:

Mystical ultimanium longsword
Level Req: 55
Damage: 110 to 1104
+201% Enhanced Effect
+3 Vitality
+2 Mana Regen

Even on softcore it's worth over 30 k fg and might even go for 100 k fg if proper buyer is found.
(and this is just one of many good drops since last update)

I personally haven't been climbing too much since the update, but I did just few short solo runs (lvls 1-25, 25-30, 10-32) and found some good medium lvl items from well and ep or regular mobs, so I can say I'm like +3 k fg just after that.

There was also a competition for grinders (starting hardcore slashing w/o buying anything, just items you find) and those who tried a bit harder found some valuable items, so now, after last update, you can even spend 0 fg and earn few k fgs easily.

Maybe it's good that our LS community isn't flooded by those d2 noobs so much, so at least we are still on the higher lvl of maturity (even thought lately that lvl has been decreasing).
Any newcomers are welcome of course and usually only those mature and patient stays for longer, so it's ok.


Well put. I have noticed an increase in good drops since new update as well found at least 15k worth since update

as i said above (edited my post), he probably bought something, some items are expensive

also my best friend used to have like 200 k fg every year and he bought so many items in real life trades forum :D

some ppl still invest fg into pixels, some ppl buy real stuff, but you have to have an access to the donor forum and be not duper, gambler, etc.

you want to pay 20,000 fg for the equivalent of a sigons armor in d3? then sure, stockpile FG.

The # of people who buy diablo 3 will be more than 100x the people who buy D3 who are active on d2jsp. As a result, only a tiny minority of the players will be able to use FG as a currency. The vast majority will use whatever currency blizzard creates for the game, like they did with world of warcraft's gold. And blizzard will create a currency and will intentionally stifle the d2jsp economy, because that is in their direct financial interests. They want people to be paying them money, not having profits leeched off to third parties, like people buying FG. Thats economics. All things put together, you'll experience hyperinflation that disrupts FG as a currency and quickly turns it into disney dollars / monopoly money.

You can enjoy d2jsp being a stable economy up until the D3 release, but once that comes around, all your stockpiling will be completely worthless.




and ladder slasher, lol
that offends me as a game designer

I started Ladder Slasher back in 2009.

I came into the game with ~1000fg that I had made from D2 trades as well as doing some signatures in the Graphics Request forum.

I invested all of that into Ladder Slasher and continued to play on and off up to the current date.

You can now see my current FG amount and I have equally as much as that in gear (most likely more but wanted to be modest) so yes, I am glad I invested into Ladder Slasher.







I think people should play LS because they enjoy it, not to make mass profits, but whatever floats your boat. I have not only made profits, but also enjoyed most of the time I invested into the game, so it's a win/win for me.



My most recent large sale if it matters:
Wednesday, July 06, 2011 4:54:10 PM Store 20,000.00 (7,038.64 -> 27,038.64) from Forum Bank (by Forum Bank) LS Item Sale 5484876

If you enjoy ladder slasher, you must be amused by watching paint dry
You need FG? Last time I needed it, I made 15,000 within 24 hours without any effort or luck required, just by playing smart and exploiting something non-obvious.

I'm sorry but anyone who takes LS seriously looks to me like they underwent a manson family brainwashing seminar


I enjoy it, and I really don't care if you don't. The the game is obviously not for you. Perhaps you would prefer hopscotch or checkers.

I also have no real use for FG, but this topic seemed to be directed in that manner, which would explain my reply.

I also noticed you don't even have any LS characters, so you have somehow failed at failing.
