It’s Only Gold, Right?

This was totally out of character, and I’m probably going to be kicking myself.

Today, I dropped 1200 gold at the Auction House.

1200 gold.

I’ve been spending a lot of time PVPing lately and had hoped to upgrade a lot of gear with honor and marks. It dawned on my that the [Gladiator's Heavy Crossbow] is REALLY pricey! In fact, I could use the honor necessary for that item to purchase two or three other items.

So, this morning, I dropped 1200 gold on a [Gyro-Balanced Khorium Destroyer], [Glinting Noble Topaz], and [Khorium Scope].

The very first thing I can tell you is that this gun looks absolutely wicked. I haven’t done the math on the damage difference yet due to my Gun skill being so low (as evidenced in the screenshot), but I’ll report that shortly. I chose this over the [Don Santos' Famous Hunting Rifle], because of the huge STA boost and yellow gem socket. Since I’m PVPing so much, the STA boost is a welcome addition.

Anyway, I need to sit back and finish my I-just-spent-1200-gold panic attack. Adios!
