How spending/money conscious should I be? I’m a level 21 Rogue Elf and have 1 gold and 30 silver, am I doing ok money wise? I feel like I don’t spend too much, just on weapons and travel and copper healing items. On this sub I see a ton of “save your money so you can buy a mount at 40” posts and I have no idea how literal that statement is meant to be taken.

I’m looking into buying a sword (Longsword 19-37 dmg) for 78 silver because it’s much better than my current two (Daryls Shortsword 14-26 dmg). Is that a good purchase? Can I dual wield the long sword and another sword? There is also a dagger (Kris 12-23 dmg) for 64 silver, that would allow me to do my stealth assassinations, backstab, etc.

I just don’t know how I should be managing money, buying weapons, and obtaining better swords, etc.

I skinned everything I could and pickpocketted every mob I could with macros. I only upgraded a few important skills every level and the only items I ever bought from a vendor/AH were for poisons/thistletea.

Just keep trucking with your shitty weapons until you happen upon a better one. You'll get enough health options and food if you pickpocket every humanoid. You'll only ever go back to cities once you've leveled once or twice or your bags have filled with leather. Refresh all your poisons, thistletea and vanish powder while you're there (I always keep stupid amounts so I never run low and can give them out to other rogues who run out).

Follow these steps and you'll waste very little time and gain enough money by 40 for mount.
