Hello everyone! I was going to do an entire month of saving currency and thought i'd be fun to make a post so anyone interested could join and we could all do it together! I meant to make this post a while ago but I had to submit a ticket to decide the correct board to post it on.

The general idea is pretty simple, and since it's not a contest or anything you can make rules and regulations to suit yourself during the month. Use whatever rules you think will help you save that you can manage- whether it's because you want an item or just for the sake of saving. I'll be giving out small prizes for people that participate just to make this a bit more fun and exciting!

The One Rule

  • No spending sP with the only exclusion being for quests OR
  • Limiting yourself to spending a certain amount per day/week etc

** For people considering joining late, that's fine! Everyone is welcome to join in at any time if they didn't see this post earlier or weren't sure if they wanted to enter. Please just comment if you'd like to join <3 **

Bonus rules (AKA other rules you can pick, but aren't 'compulsory')

  • No spending wizard tokens
  • No spending quest points
  • No spending any extra currencies

Prizes! - prize gallery These are just some little prizes that will be given out to people participating during the no-spend month. The prizes will be given out completely randomly, so there's no first prize for whoever saves the most and whatnot! I'll add more prizes depending on how many people decide to participate <3

So let me know if you want to join in (and what rules you're setting for yourself, if any!)! I'll make a ping list that'll be sent out on the first of May, so let me know if you'd like to be added to that too. At the beginning of the month we'll all write down how much sP/currency we have and then at the end of the month compare and see how we've done!

Oooh. This sounds like fun. :D

I'd love to participate!!

For me: I'll be limiting my spending to maybe only 100,000 sP per week. I want to save up for some potions and WL items. :D

I usually don't have much to spend until the last week and a half of every month anyway so sure, I'll join in. I've been meaning to pool my pure together to make purchasing necessary supplies easier anyway, though if I find a particularly good sale going on I can't make any promises that I won't splurge a bit!

Sounds good! Best of luck with the saving. This should be fun :D

Hehe it's okay, I'm still not sure if I'll be able to do the whole month without splurging. I wonder if we'll both get through it or not xD

And so May begins! By the time I can actually spend any meaningful amounts of pure we should be nearing June anyhow so I won't really be actively participating as some of you, but hey.

I've got 4,395,358 pure right now. The only place that's going is to auto-train my new battle-pet, so I'm limiting myself to the cost of a session per day(46,800sP so far) as the only expense. That should be within reason?

Starting now, I only have about 11mil sP ;w; (I'm okay with spending CSC, tokens and questpoints so for me those currencies won't count!)

Starting now I have 350,000,000sP, 4,226 Wizard tokens & 62 quest points. Bring it on!

I'm going to be spending CSC because I'm in the process of buying art and whatnot, but I'll limit myself to only buying CSC for that reason XD Cash shop.. You can't tempt me this month!

Just a friendly ping to remind you if you still wanted to participate! <3

I'm going to try this, and only spend money on quests, nothing else. Maybe I'll finally reach 100 million.

Made note of my sP yesterday. :D

I'm starting to save. Woo hoo. I want to hopefully get enough for another pet slot from the MC and one or two wishlist items.

Good luck everyone!! Man, whenever I'm on quests I'll buy a dupe of an item by accident thinking I haven't bought it. I never realised how often I do that until now xD Super annoying because every time I feel like I'm cheating at this even though it's usually only a few k ffff

I'm kinda excited about this! I haven't spent anything the last few days, so I guess I'm off to a good start. I guess my only rule is that I'm only allowed to spend to do quests? I'm starting out with; 19,678,897 sp 5.471 Wizard Tokens 87 Quest Points

Can't wait to see what I can make. Maybe break 100mil sp for the first time?

Editing; Adding that I'll also be spending to put my pets in the resort, but that should only be once this month.

Welcome welcome! I'm glad you're joining us ^.^ Best of luck breaking 100mill sP. It's weird but when I first broke it I found it much easier to save money afterwards (maybe because it felt like an achievement I didn't want to stop? XD) so I hope you break it too!

I'd love to participate in this Special "quest" :) Thanks for your idea!

My rules are that I'm only allowed to spend to do quests and sending my pets in the Resort. No spending CSC, Quest Points, Wizard Tokens or any other currencies.

I'm starting out with; 63,866,561 sP 7,644 Wizard Tokens 107 Quest Points

I'm curious what I'm going to make until the end of the month =)

hehehe busted! Nah but I'm hoping everyone isn't too harsh on themselves, this is just a fun little attempt for everyone to save xD so don't feel too bad!!

Thanks for joining us! Omg you have so many wizard tokens, I can't wait to see how much you end up saving too. I'm really bad with wiz tokens because I always want to vend it away ;; Anyway, good luck <3

Also a little note to everyone participating:

  1. Everyone is welcome to give little updates whenever they want! It's fun being able to chat and participate. But if you don't want to, that's cool too, and you can just post your end result at the beginning of next month!
  2. I'm going to start handing out random prizes now that we've begun! I'll likely hand out one lil gift every few days (likely won't be anything too special, I'll probably dig around my storage to find cool stuff), and then at the very end of the month I'll hand out the bigger prizes randomly to people that participated! (regardless of if they splurged or not, so don't be too hard on yourself, but try your best to save save save <3 )

Thanks for welcoming me! Haha to be honest, I get them with quests and save them and don't spend it at all (shame on me...). Thanks a lot! <3
