ok, so gambling isnt really a thing here. Dont do it at all

Buy staff for gold only at Hadriel (maybe a sorc staff for 2 gold to get started or something... but nothing else really.)

Ways to get gold:

-Voting (you already know that)
-Spending real money directly (via buy gold tab) this is also supporting the servers
-Spending real money via a subsription (monthly based, get gold daily and other cool stuffs)
-taking part in tournaments and events and winning gold there
-Trade items to a member that is a subscriber (those ppl can trade with gold)

and there are probably a few more that i just forgot :3


Nonetheless, the game feels like really hard at the beginning (even up to when you killed baal, theres areas where youre simply too bad at the beginning)
It takes a serious amount of time, loot and knowledge to get to the endgame. Just enjoy all the different builds and dont scrap it too fast. Its way better here than on liveservers if you ask me
