Hello everyone! I really enjoy challenging myself and one big problem I have is I splurge way too much. I was going to do a 'no spend' month starting next month, and thought I'd make a post, so if anyone was interested we could all try together! 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 exclusion of quests) OR
  • Limiting yourself to spending a certain amount per day/week etc

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

What counts as breaking the no sPend rule? // If you've chosen the 'limited spending' route, surpassing your limit // General spending. (It normally doesn't warrant letting everyone know if you spend like 5k, but 50k+ is probably what matters) // Buying wardrobe items or general items for yourself // Buying weapons, treasure slots, treasure items, potions/elixirs for your pets

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 (since we all have different schedules and playtimes)! I'll add more prizes depending on how many people decide to participate ❤

How do I participate?

  1. Tell me you're joining, and what rules you'd like to make yourself follow!
  2. You can post anytime to update us. Don't be shy to let us know how you're doing with daily updates, or whenever you feel like it!
  3. [optional] Join our forum if you're interested in participating in future months!

[sub]Remember, everyone tends to break the no sPend rule even if it's only a tiny bit. We -obviously- will not punish splurging (we all have bad days, and sometimes buying that extra item makes us feel a teeny bit better 😛), and all prizes are given out completely randomly, so if you forfeit or give up you may still receive prizes for giving it a shot![/sub]


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 March for anyone wishing to join in, 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!

@ Ray I'd like to join, I've been meaning to save up as much as I can! This is cool since there's the sPrint but that has a quantitative goal in mind instead of just saving in general.

My only regular weekly expense is 2.5m sP which is for a weekly raffle I run. It's less than what I make when doing quests each week so I'll able to accumulate sP still.

Rules for Self:

  1. Spend no more than 2.5m per week (for the raffles)

March 1 Amounts: sP: 2.5m

Yay!! Glad to have you on board. I actually didn't even know there was another no spenders sort of group (I probably really should have checked first actually hahaah) but yeah, I'm glad this suits your needs! I wanted it to just be a fun thing with no limits, so each person could tailor to their needs!!

Also, I forgot to write my rules for myself, so here are mine! Rules for self:

  1. No spending any currencies, excluding vending with wizard tokens
  2. My only 'splurge' will be for goals achievements- my limit is any wardrobe item under 20k (for wardrobe achievement) and buying any plush/beanbag under 100k, which I'll likely just buy on sight.

I think that's it, but I might edit this comment if I think of more I want to add :D

joining! rules for me *not touch the vault - 90mil sP, *no touch quest points (just 10 atm), crystals (1440), Blue Building Points (3605), *no vending (8,792) but token shop or BHH purchases allowed u.u

pets dont die over here ;) but that should be allowed if you have a budget system that you try not to spend over ;) if it's for battling, the inn is a good option -keeps the pets fed and happy for 31 days

I really have to update my blog ObscureJourney and my review site BeingObscure. French speakers can read my reviews here.

Of course I'd like to join ^^ I want to save as much sP as I can - so that I can buy myself some expensive stuff or spend more on Lumineve this year xD

The only regular expenses are Quests and Resort for my Pets.

Rules for me:

  1. Spend no more than sP only for Quests!
  2. Spend no CSC (absolutely none of them..)

AHH WELCOME! I haven't seen you in ages ^.^ (mostly because I've been off subeta heh), so happy to have you join!! <3

And welcome to and <3

Just a note for everyone, we'll update our current currencies on the date this started. I think I'll put all my on-hand currencies in the vault bar about 2mill for Sagi's quests and then I'll be able to see how much I make as I progress!
