One industrious Glitch wanted to see if there was a hidden achievement for gaining 111,111 currants (there isn't), then spent the rest of the time trying desperately to give the money away. Not sure how successful the effort was, seemed to take a rather long time to give money away.
I'm down to 30K now, but I didn't do any mining this test, so I was just giving, giving, giving. I have helped 19 people get into houses at last count. Have purchased five for myself at various times, bought 16 bottles of Tree Poison Antidote, extra feeders and milk collectors and meat collectors that I dropped in random spots. And Trav, I actually got over 200K at one point. Should have screen shotted that one, too.
I was all happy when I finally got up to 20K...spent 14K of it in a flash. Shoot, I wish I had loads of currants to spend! I love buying stuff...and I'm pretty poor in rl, so it's kinda fun to buy virtual stuff to feed the itch. I think I mostly bought auctions of stuff for projects...and then gems because I couldn't mine because I was down in the projects...yeah, there's a cycle that needs fixin'. If it was possible, the stuff I would love to spend currants on would be decorations or expansions for our homes...and/or a second home in Glitch; would love to have more than one; however, I can see that with limited space for housing that would also suck up others' chances of having a home...but a person can dream, can't she?
ETA: ability to expand own house + multiple teleport landing point would solve my desire for a second home though :)
Yuh, I was thinking that currants alone cannot buy you happiness in Glitch land. My guess is that the lower the level, the greater the need for currants because early quests require that you buy tools and equipment. However, as the level progresses, it becomes easier to earn currants but you have less desire to buy items, either because quests do not require a purchase anymore, or because you can now get materials more cheaply by manufacturing it yourself.
I would buy a ton of pigs & butterflies, and various tools I don't have. I'd also give away my smaller bags and get all big ones. And buy a bigger house. Then, I would buy stuff and randomly give it to people if I still had lots left.
Actually, if I bought (and used) ₡1,000,000 worth of sno cones, I'd gain 600,000 XP - and would only BARELY get past clare and en. And I'm in fifth place on the experience leaderboards! Those guys are nuts.
Hookers and blow!----- haha.. Totally kidding-- probably an Army of Gnomes--- Then i would be Really lazy, and Buy all my EHSP, Ores, Gems etc. for a while to donate :P
I'd use it to organize people and generate efficiencies.
Like ... I'd pay a bunch of people 50k each to orbit the game for a day and just harvest every single tree and put everything they harvested up for auction at fair market value.
That way no one else would ever have to harvest again.
I don't know, I think I would buy a variety of things. A mountain of food, lots of garden gnomes, tons of earthshakers, and some animal eggs would be top of the list :D
I dont place a lot of care on having a lot of money ,never was my choice over friends in life and so too here in this game.I like to mine and alchemy so yes I have a lot of currents.What is nice is when a not too newbie but someone trying wants a house very badly.I like to help.so far I have seen three folks get what makes their day through just plain careing.if you see me in mining and need please ask.it also makes me feel good to make you feel good.I am ghostie and look like that ,so just ask.
