me after spending 8 million $ in nioh 2

Oh my gosh, I completely relate to this! My Nioh 2 spending habits are just as chaotic. One minute I'm feeling like a rich warlord, swimming in Amrita and coin, and the next I'm staring at my inventory, wondering how I managed to go broke again after spending millions. It's a constant cycle of earning big and then blowing it all on what feels like essential upgrades, only to realize I'm back to scrounging for coin to buy a few Elixirs. This game truly tests your financial discipline, or lack thereof! I've definitely learned a few lessons the hard way about managing my Nioh 2 budget. For starters, that blacksmith is a siren, luring you in with promises of perfect rolls and tempering options. Soul matching, reforging, and tempering costs can escalate incredibly quickly, especially when you're trying to optimize gear for higher difficulties. I've easily sunk millions into a single piece of equipment, only to find a better one drop moments later. Talk about a gut punch! One of my biggest money pits has to be consumables. Shuriken, kunai, talismans, special arrows... they all add up! I used to buy them in bulk, thinking I was being prepared, but then I'd hardly use them or find better alternatives. Now, I try to craft what I can, or only buy what I desperately need for a specific boss fight. Prioritizing my spending has been key. Do I really need to temper that grace onto a piece of armor right now, or can I save that money for a new weapon with better base stats? To keep my Nioh 2 budget from completely collapsing, I've started focusing on efficient farming methods. Running specific sub-missions that offer generous gold rewards or repeatedly defeating certain yokai known for dropping valuable loot has become part of my routine. Selling unwanted gear is another big one; don't just disassemble everything! Sometimes, selling a high-rarity piece of equipment that doesn't fit your build can net you a significant chunk of change, helping offset those expensive blacksmith costs. Also, remember the donation box at the shrine – offering unwanted gear can give you glory and sometimes even Amrita, but it's not always the most lucrative option for pure coin. My personal budgeting strategy now involves setting a mental 'spending limit' before I even step foot in the blacksmith. If I'm trying to optimize a specific build, I'll save up a significant amount of money first, rather than spending it piecemeal. It's also helped to understand the economy of different game stages. Early on, money is tight, so focus on basic upgrades. Later, when you're rolling in Amrita, you can afford to be a bit more extravagant. But even then, those millions can vanish in a blink! It's a constant battle, but with a bit of planning (and less impulsive tempering!), you can keep your Nioh 2 wallet from going completely broke like mine often does.
