If you in it for the long term and don't care, go for Holmes.
This is terrible advice. Sorry, it's just horrid advice.
Holmes really is not that good. He's barely better than Gin.
On top of that, Kenny takes like 2.5 months to get, Gin takes 1 year to get, Holmes takes over 2.5 years to get. Gin takes 1.2 years to surprass Kenny's BP, Holes would take 3-3.5 years to surpass Gin's BP.
So if you play for 3-3.5 years, getting Holmes gimps you for that long. Then he starts being SLIGHTLY better.
If you had instead gotten Kenny, kept him for 1.2 years, then reset to get Gin and kept him for 3.5 years, then reset you'd get the best of all worlds for a paltry 2000 gold or so. That's about $20 over 3.5 years. Less than 2 pennies a day worth of gold.
If you're F2P, you will gimp yourself dramatically to go for Gin, instead of Kenny (or hollow arran) for 1.2 years of playing. The first 1.2 years are the most critical time to do as much dmg as possible to keep up. Once you've fallen behind, you will never catch up. |
