Well you mainly need Ecash to gear your character, with the inflated prices on upgs, rings, armour etc you gonna need a few 100K of ecash. Merching is the best (and probably only) way next to spending $ to make enough to buy all gear you need.Dont advise people to merch because ecash and RP are not transferable. Ever heard the saying to make money takes money? :P
in all seriousness being self sufficient is how I lasted so long without spending anything in rohan. Sadly I played in a whole other world where events were a lot better than they are today.
