Just yesterday I could complete levequests at a decent rate on my own, level 20 Conjurer, fight monsters and do whatever on my own time.

Now, all of my gear is apparently dated or not optimal, does nothing and I don't have any money to buy new gear. It all costs 30-50k per item at these new vendors, I only just have enough for one item. There are no armors reasonably priced for sell and it takes an incredibly long time to kill monsters. I have to rest after I fight two things my level!

Am I expected to struggle through this for what could take days per level with my amount of time to play? How am I supposed to play this game now?
