[...] to go out and get the money they need by running quests, kiling mobs and the like. BigRedKitty has his own way of dealing with them, but I have to say I’m much more of a stick than a carrot [...]

When I found out what the high-end quiver required I just started storing light feathers all my characters stumbled across. By the time I got the primal nether I already had my 99 light feathers.

If you have friends who can tell you the future, it’s easy to prepare for it.

Ah, what a truely brilliant way to deal with beggers. I will have to try that out sometime. I used to say, if you duel me I will give you the money you want, have my mage friend port us both over to TB, and then MC him off a high point. Good times.

I love this! (linked too) It’s a brilliant way to deal with beggars…give them something to do that throws them onto the path of discovery for things like quest hubs/npcs, new zones and a bunch of random loot from all those birds and the surrounding mobs.

I remember when 40 gold was TONS of money! Ah…to be a newb again

Brilliant idea BRK!

I actually did this too- after you’d mentioned it. Took him 3 days but I held to my word. I was able to make my quiver! Now I just need another hard-working beggar so I can make a second one to sell!

i dont complelty understand beggers myself… im new to wow with a 25ish hunter, and i had nearly 100 gold by level ten, im sitting close to 200 right now, and i have done some spending on occasional equipment upgrades and engineering recipes, and stuff like that.

then again… i sell everything that i possibly can, (auctioneer rocks)

My first thought was, oh, he probably just bought them off the AH, but since it took a month or two for him to get them, he probably really did grind them. Besides, if he’s begging for 5 silver, he probably couldn’t afford the AH anyway (it takes money to make money).

I love it. I’m totally swiping that, BRK, modified a bit, of course.
You are indeed full of win and Cheetos.
