A friend has worked his way up to level 41. I think he told me he needs 50
million experience points for level 42.

You can only carry so much, of course, but I do several things. 1) Repair
everything -- no sense leaving 15k on the ground if it can be put to use.
2) Make sure your belt is full. I often buy elixers not to use anymore (I'm
maxed on stats) but merely because I can sell them for $1250. Keep any ring
or amulet that Gris will pay you more then $5000 for -- or any weapon that
is worth more than $5000 per inventory slot. You only have X number if
inventory slots, and if something takes up a single slot and is worth more
than 5K, hold on to it. This becomes handy when you go to Adria and she has
an Angel's Staff of the Apocolaypse for $135,000 and you realize you have
to come up with the cash NOW because she changes her inventory every time
you go into the dungeon.
