Sorry, I used the greater than and less than symbols around four zeroes at the end. Apparently it took them out. It's really, 1953303109920660000, with a few thousand extra.
My gold is written in SCIENTIFIC FREAKIN' NOTATION! 1.95330310992066e18. That's 195330310992066! (The zero's exact values are unknown.) That's a lot of freaking gold!
Yes, as I said: the principle still stands. can you imagine the amount of XP required to get there, though? I mean, 6457008150*2^7983=8.5602553574904151215603480785556e+2412 according to the calculator for lvl 8000 (doubles req. each lvl, 1st num = amnt req. to get to 18, 7983 = 8000-17; last number = amount required to get from 8000 to 8001.
1. Quicken increases your dexterity. Constantly. You don't cast it. It's always on.
2. No-one actually got that far, black imp. They hacked it. They got on the high score board. The principle stands, although no-one has actually gotten that high a score. Check today's leaderboard, or even the weeks, for majoritally non-hacker scores.
Why does my level 16 wizard buy spellbooks that cost a few hundred gold - and no better weapon or armor - when he's got 18,000 gold? I mean, surely there's more expensive spellbooks? You can buy them at higher levels...
