The Best Things To Spend Money On In Neverwinter

Should you spend money in Neverwinter? Definitely. The question is what you should buy and why. If you want to move up the ranks and defeat enemies and conquer the game – if you say you don’t, we all know you’re lying – or even if you just want your character to look good, you will definitely want to put some money into the game. Let’s take a look at the top 10 things to spend your money on.

#1 Gems

Gems are the key to any great character

When I started playing this game, I didn’t really pay attention to the gems that I randomly picked up here and there; they just didn’t seem that important. However, after many mistakes I got the hang of it. Gems are important to your character. Gems affect your characters stamina, health, charisma, constitution, armor and fighting power. You should spend money on at least one gem to boost a level 60 character – it will change the whole game.

#2 Armor

Armor is the best way to make your character unique

Armor is very important to your overall character. It affects your fighting as well as your health. This along with your gems will make your character stronger and their stamina last longer. You can also customize your character’s armor to look like other armor which is great when wanting your character to look different to others.

#3 Weapons

Weapons are an obvious choice when it comes to your character

Weapons are obviously what you attack your enemy with, therefore being so high on the list. Like armor, this coupled with some strong gems can make your character one of the strongest on the map. Having a strong weapon like a legendary weapon can help you defeat any enemies that come your way as well as those in a PVP.

#4 Companions

Your sidekick that fights alongside you every step of the way

Companions come in many different shapes and forms but they can be important in defeating your enemies. If you put enough effort in them you can level them up so that they’re strong enough to not die on you every time an enemy arrives. Putting some money into the game for this can get you a great companion and can help you defeat any beast – except in PVPs.

#5 Mounts

Mounts can affect your speed and agility

Many may think that your mount just looks really cool – and let’s be honest, it does look really cool – but they also have certain powers if they’re high level enough. Putting some money into the game for mounts can be a really good thing when it comes to speed and agility in the game as well. A quality mount can get you past any enemy you’re not willing to take on.

#6 Character Slots

One character is not enough for this beautiful game

When you start this game, you get a total of two character slots. With eight different classes, this amount is definitely not enough. Put some extra cash into buying more character slots and try out each class. With every different class you’ll get a different experience of the game and you can make each character completely different too. It’s a great way to have even more fun with the game. You can also transfer funds from one character to another. I usually have one character just to farm astral diamonds via professions and then I can transfer them to any character I have.

#7 Astral Diamonds

You can buy anything with astral diamonds

When it comes to buying stuff in the game, the easiest and fastest way to buy something is with astral diamonds. A lot of things are sold on the auction house with astral diamonds often at a cheap rate if you can find the right one. If you have enough astral diamonds, you can buy out the auction and you don’t have to bid. You put real money in which buys you ‘Zen’ and with the ‘Zen’, you buy astral diamonds.

#8 VIP

VIP is exactly what you think it is

VIP is one of the best ways to spend your money in the game. It is a loyalty program for players that give the players extra benefits. It also works in ranks so the higher your rank is, the more benefits. On purchasing the VIP Program you will receive 30 days of these benefits and 1 loyalty rank. Each time you open a pack, your loyalty rank increases. For example, here are the benefits for rank 1:

• 10% bonus to XP, Glory and Profession XP
• VIP zone access (Moonstone mask)
• 15% bonus astral diamonds on daily quests received in Protector’s Enclave
• 10 level-appropriate Indentification Scrolls

#9 Lockboxes

Very low on the list has to be a lockbox

I put this as a very low item on the list mostly because you will be quite happy not spending your money on this item. However, if you do, you may just strike huge luck – and when I say huge, I mean HUGE. Opening one of these boxes is relatively cheap but also quite a gamble. You can get one of the best and Epic mounts in one of these with a minimum fee.

#10 Enchanted Keys

You need keys if you want to open your lockbox

If you do decide to spend money on the lockboxes, you will need some keys to go along with that – another reason you may be more than happy without spending money on these last two.

In conclusion, if you spend your money wisely, you can kit your entire character out without spending too much and trust me – it’s totally worth it. In the end, the most important part is that you have fun with the game and try everything you possibly can.
