Been playing this game since it came out 11 years ago. Best advice is to just spend money on VIP and then play the game. Work with your guild. This game is for the patient and not for instant gratification.❤
Good to hear from you again. The current Mod (M28) introduced Celestial rank for Mount Collars and Enchantments, so the AH prices dropped quite bit since then.
Been playing for 9 or 10 years and I never been end game but been strong enough to enjoy the game even if I don't have the best or news gear but vip is a must just for the keys and easy way of life
Only reason my two mains are maxed is because I have alt accounts for events and free gifts so I use the resources to mail stuff to them, use them to rank the stuff up, then mail back to main account.
Bottom line, don't give them any money. Every 10 days you will have enough astral diamonds to buy one month worth of VIP. If you are a new player, you are better off grinding your way through all of the campaigns so that you learn how to play your character. The last thing you want to do is buy item level and jump into endgame content, players are going to know pretty quickly if you bought your item level or if you earned it
Hi there' I only upgraded one of my character's to celestial but i havent run anything since new mod came out. I have the resources, consumables etc but the game not longer fun, no longer challenging. I dont find one single reason to play it anymore. I tried selling my consumables thousands of squash soups (60+) all event foods etc. Companion choice packs (spined dev, tutor acc etc). All kind of stuff but not planning to come back to the game to be honest. Definitely your calculations are accurate for some of us that been or played the game since day 1 maybe we didn't have to spend crazy amout of money I probably spent like 60 to 80 over the years. Have fun if you still play neverwinter 🎉😅😊
People here are exaggerating honestly. You can play for free, i have a lot of friends who do so. But yes, it takes longer and you should maximize the profit from the events and stuff, they can really boost the progress. Also buying just vip is already pretty good and not that expensive, you may consider it like paying the subscription, because obviously game needs money to be alive
Funny thing about what u said on 19min in video, zen cost more AD, but prices on PC are way higher, just by looking on the coal motes, 850k each, u have IT for like 350k? Its about 125% or do, more cost, lets say everything is about 100% more, still Xbox price for converting Zen to AD wins, and sorry for my bad english, Hope u understand
Sounds about right. Baby Zariel on pc spent about $1500 to get his character end game. He was still short of some items. I have 4 endgame characters. Only spent $10 at start to get vip. I watched a lot of vids on how and where to spend my resources to save or maximize ad. They helped alot. It took me about a year and a half though to be truly outfitted w fully blown maxed out gear. It took time but it was fun. Running dungeons and selling items. Granted it was a bit easier back then to grind for items that really made ad. That jhesiyra's set made me so much ad. Also creating the wonders gond packs. Made millions making those. Now, not to many item to grind for and make ad. Master tiamat set still makes good ad. Gg great vid. Keep it up.
Great to honestly just see you. I actually started playing neverwinter because I came across your cleric healer build in mod 26. I'm realizing just how much of a grind it's going to be but overall the game has been alot of fun.
Hi, well in theory you could play NW and even get to the endgame without paying a cent. In practice, however, everyone sooner or later buys Zen using real money. I do it to pay for the VIP, I don't convert the ad's into zen because I don't have very many ad's and I prefer to keep the ones I have to buy stuff from the AH. It depends on how many hours you can invest in the game, my average is 7 hours a week.
i actually have friends who play without spending money. but i guess they are just much more patient than i am :D so yea, i spent real money at the end, but if you actually think through your spendings and also wait for events and stuff, you can get much more profit and avoid spending money at all in many cases
I did the math when i was playing the game. I totaled $10K/character and all of the guild upgrades to max is another $10k. This is nothing compared to Diablo Immotral😂!
What do you mean? Whats "player cap"? There is only a cap for converting AB to AD - 100K in a day. But if you actually play the game you would get stuff that you can sell, and its not capped by any means. So you can get much more AD in a day than those 100K convertion cap
That 1000 days also doesn’t factor in that you will need to spend diamonds on scrolls of life and healing stones, which slows you down from saving. Thinking about the game this way makes you realize that certain classes were better for doing content while undergeared and under upgraded because they naturally did more damage, so then nerfing them would slow people’s f2p progress down a little.
@@GlennElliottKeller you only really need scrolls for top content, and still you barely use them if you do everything correctly. if you have to spend them a lot then your party is just not good enough anyway. healing stones i also got tons of for free, and even then i mostly just using healing potions buyable with gold and its fine
@@nerdError0XF you’re missing my point. I’m just saying that spending 1000 days saving AD is only made worse by other mandatory ongoing costs for convenience which will cost you some extra AD as you’re already busy saving. Player AD cap is 100 million, and it costs you 97 million. That’s what I’m saying.
I played this game for 5 years with 8k hours in it. I tanked, healed and DPS'd. Yeah, we spend good money on getting our characters up to end game, but what sucked is every time NW comes out with a new release, your spending that money again. My only regret, was not leaving this game earlier. I loved this game at one point. Loved the friendships made, but spent a shit ton of money lol after watching this video, I'm just gonna kinda stay gone lol Question: why are people farming Tyrant?
Firstly, it's always nice to see content relating to Neverwinter and there is some useful guidance in your video however I have several issues with the overall message in your video. I'd never subscribe to the idea of paying to max out a character or character(s) as much as possible from day 1. It's a bit sad that you kind of only introduce the fact you can make Astra Diamonds (AD) every day in the last 5-6 minutes of your video when most people have probably tuned out. If you were to play the game for one year, join a good alliance, get some advice how to play the market (auction house) you could make half the money you'd need in 1 year. During that one year you'll learn to play different classes to the point where you can actually do end game content and contribute. People don't need to beg for free stuff or be carried through content if they spend a bit of time learning the games and more importantly deciding if they actually like it. IMHO most people who enjoy the game and dedicate the time can get through 90% of the content in 6 months and maybe spend like $100 if they want to skip some campaigns but I'd only recommend this for alts as you'll miss storylines. I've spent $100 on the game and I've been playing for nearly 6 years.
Exactly my thoughts. Im a new player. I played for 6+ months actively, donated mostly for vip and on sales, and i can already do most of the game content, only missing top-tier master dungeons Video should be called "how much it costs to skip all content in neverwinter" and i dont really understand who will actually be interested in this, outside of rare weirdos who just wanna jump straight into endgame with money
@@ITiredI i myself played with guys who got into endgame just by buying top tier gear accounts or something and they were so bad and ruined everything. Yes skill, and well more importantly just knowledge about stuff is required and money wont buy you that.
@@GlennElliottKeller what are you winning exactly? what is the win in the mostly PVE mmo game? why is it winning to buy an optional skip of some content? when you still have to get most of the gear yourself, you cant just buy it. newer campaigns are also just cannot be bought by your logic, every mmo is p2w, because anyway to boost your progress or skip some steps is p2w. like in WoW you can literally buy max level character, p2w then
You can just play the game and spend much smaller amounts of money like just buying vip on sales and progress through the game without much problem. Im a new player (started in 2023) and can confirm this myself
@@ITiredI takes way to long to what? Max out the character? Do you know you dont have to do it, instead you can just... play the game until you have fun and then move away? Crazy
I dont think you can max out a new player char. You cannot buy end game weaps🙃 you dont need to have mythic collars🫠 ive been playing this game 1 year after it came out and i just grind everyday. The only time i pay is for VIP🙄 and now im ma out with 100k + item level with new end game weaps 😅😅😅. So in my opinion you cannot max out your char hrough buying stuff in AH or zen stuff.
@ITiredI lmao can you buy endgame weaps with real money? Truth hurts doesnt it? Maybw you're rich so you can just pay your friends with real money to carry you to endgame dungeons.
@@ITiredI i literally started playing this game in 2023. I still have all my insignias at orange level, i still have most of my collars purple, a few at orange, and all that i got just by playing anyway. I only recently maxed the bolster, for the most time playing i had only like 2-3 mythinc companions and 3-4 mythic mounts, them too i got just by playing. Only thing i really focused on was echantments, and yes i had spent some money on them and buying VIP, but its like 5-10% of the money she counted. All the charactrer gear i have i got just by playing. And guess what? I can do most of the games content without much trouble, already doing master dungeons too. And its after like ~6 months of playing actievly Stop fabricating lies to justify your resentment of the game
So, uh yeah I spent about $450 on neverwinter at the end of last year and it cost me my marriage so, that's how much it costs in 2024.
If that's all it took you're better off. Hope you find a real partner. 💜
As a husband with a gaming addiction and still happily married there was probably more than Neverwinter at work there....

Great work I just started playing this game on PC, so this video really put into perspective just how boned I am. lol
Nice video! I have came back to neverwinter after 8 years, all my equipment and enchants are dead, only boons prevail. 😅
Nice video
Good to hear from you again.

Celestial collars? When that happened?
@@aboudjeneral guy is tripping, theres only celestial enchantments now

new dungeon is actually pretty good, definitely the best thing of space related stuff in the game
Is this for Min/Maxing, though??
Can you not just enjoy the game playing regularly, even if you're not in the 1% of DPS players.
Are there any cleric guides in the pipeline for the new mod?
As a new player do you think that the game is solely pay to win and what is the least amount id need to spend to be able to do high end pvp and pve?
The game is super pay to win.

Welcome back!
I STARTED THAT GUILD WHEN STRONGHOLDS CAME OUT LOL
your voice is nice :D
I did the math when i was playing the game. I totaled $10K/character and all of the guild upgrades to max is another $10k. This is nothing compared to Diablo Immotral😂!
You have been sorely missed.
So basically you need to get almost as much AD as player cap to max out. And that’s doing it “cheaply”.
Wow.
What do you mean? Whats "player cap"? There is only a cap for converting AB to AD - 100K in a day. But if you actually play the game you would get stuff that you can sell, and its not capped by any means. So you can get much more AD in a day than those 100K convertion cap

You must be on the computer. Last time I looked on PS5 750.😭
Tell koko I miss his touch in moonstone
And send me those blood rubies
$1000-$1500 per character! I have 10!
You get 2 rare mounts in omu. Not pay to win. Pay to shortcut. It doesn't matter on how much you spend it still takes skill.
completely wrong in the second half.
@@ITiredI i myself played with guys who got into endgame just by buying top tier gear accounts or something and they were so bad and ruined everything. Yes skill, and well more importantly just knowledge about stuff is required and money wont buy you that.
The shortcut you pay for is the win in and of itself.

Take the flight!!
about 3k paund :D
I don't play NW as much as I use to. I'm playing other games, like Friday Night Funkin and and Hogwarts Legacy.
Fun Fact:Neverwinter Skip to win
absolutely correct, but also pay to win.
Ty ty for the wonderful warning. Not worth it lolol
WB!
Starting to think content creators are half the problem in neverworking
Too much on PC. Play on oher platforms, why they cant unified playerbases? Not many left
Damn thats a lotta scratch. Can’t see anyone actually doing that but free to play? Nah
You can just play the game and spend much smaller amounts of money like just buying vip on sales and progress through the game without much problem. Im a new player (started in 2023) and can confirm this myself
Dont exchange for AD. Buy vip and play the game, takes time
Takes way too long.
