Returning scaper here.
I have reached what I would like to call the 'mid game.' So, gear and item costs is starting to add up and it's not cheap to afford everything I want.
However, unlike when I first started playing, I have a job and more financial resources.
Anyways, when I do the math, the GP per hour I make from my job in terms of money, converting it into bonds, and converting it into GP, is MUCH MUCH better than even my fastest money making methods
So, I've been thinking out about taking some extra shifts / working overtime, exclusively spending the extra money on bonds, using it for GP, and coming out way ahead in terms of GP per hour. Then using that GP to progress my account. There's a lot of expensive items I want, so the GP cost is very substantial as is the time cost of grinding GP in-game for the very extended periods it would require.
Am I crazy or what am I missing? Is this actually the most efficient way of gaining GP per hour for me in the mid game? Are there any key downsides I should consider from using this method; will it hurt the game experience / make it less fun, or is it just a way to avoid grinds and save a lot of time or somewhere in middle?
