Do people buy every available item?

You`re thoughts for buying items are solid, in AP/CW even better since there upgrading neatness skill gives you crystals and runes destroying items , highly needed later in game.
As you play original the Legend divorce takes 20% which can be allot late game, but depends how often you change wives (if you screw around, you should lose all you`re gold ). But For huge amounts of gold you gather during game, best solution is buying runes at Tibold dwarf prince because only other choice is buy units/items. Here you cant buy leadership, experiance, permanent bonus to stats, or rage/mana. All other things in game are for limited time usage , so hoarding gold is useless.

Thanks Mr. Shade. Yeah I guess I'll go buy the few items I skipped-- including every mana potion. At 500 gp, why not?

I bypassed Rina and married Faenora, and hope to stick with her awhile (using Fire Spiders and Royal Snakes with Frog Faenora and Jade Belt (+1 initiative and +50% dmg to spiders). I'm sure I'll need to upgrade at some point...maybe she can take me as far as Xeona...?
