Money management Options

[rbeverjr]

I have been successful in play despite feeling a bit of the empty pockets disease. There are many options in the game, but early on I feel that there is a real need for +3 weapons, and soon there becomes a need for +4 weapons. On top of that, other things that you may want to buy include potions, scrolls for spell books as well as specific battle encounters, wands, rod of resurrection, other vanilla game store items and Cromwell upgrades, and the new Sikret upgrades from Cromwell. What purchases do you feel are the best value before the underdark, after the underdark, and in ToB?
