Midgame to Late game transition

For example, I have been playing a pikeman for awhile now, rocking Jarids, and I was like, well I got like 200k and it'll be awhile til I'm 52 and can hero. Maybe I'll buy better throwing weapons. I thought 200k was a lot. But it seems like the next best thing cost around 1 million.

I think the discrepancy is in your perspective: 1 million is not really late game. Play as much hard and rag as you can, and hope to get crafting materials that can sell for 40k+ (scale, water, lead, sulphur, etc). I would buy CTS next, even though you can pick up others' weapons, having your own will allow you to get farther when there is no one around to carry. Also look on forums, since buying crafted items is less expensive than crafting them yourself.

I agree. Late game means something different here.

Also, you shouldn't look at the stuff you have as bad. Jarids are a very good weapon; they're not as good as others, sure, but they do a whole lot of damage, especially to shields.
If you can survive one ranger shot with the armor you have, that makes it worth it.

Everything you have, as far as I know, is good enough for a Ragnarok run. You're fine.

And, yes, there is a huge price gap, which is a problem that the developers are aware of.
