I just recently started playing LS and i cant believe how expensive everything is!!

So pretty much what im wondering is how are new players such as myself who do not have mass amounts of fg get the higher tier items?
Not trying to bash anyone with lots of fg, just wondering if im supposed to be doing cata/arena and hope to get lucky by making some fg.

you can make some fg by picking up arcane+ items and putting the item on the mp for 1fg.

but yea, it's mostly about luck and since you probably cant fight in the arena, i would just catacomb. it's more fun too

By fight in the arena you mean monsters not players right?

yes. arena is 1v1 vs a npc mob of your lvl (or lower if you change it)

cata is a 1-5 person maze where you work together to kill monsters and share experience.

with 900fg, you can easily get the gear to get to mq. The pricy stuff is jsut for people who have the fg to blow on super godlies.
