Frugal

Tier 2
verified 2026-07-11 · VV: Ultimatum spirit charms

Frugal is a Tier 2 Spirit Charm in VV: Ultimatum that reduces cash lost from dying to players by 80%, but stops you from gaining cash from killing players.

Frugal is wealth insurance for dangerous neighborhoods. While equipped, you lose 80% less cash from dying to players - and in exchange, you don't gain cash from killing players at all. The flavor line lays out the philosophy: "Wealth is quiet. Rich is loud. Poor is flashy."

The charm is a pure defensive economic tool. For players carrying meaningful cash through PvP-active zones - travelling between vendors, farming in contested areas, or simply logging hours in a world where invasions happen - it converts the worst-case robbery into a minor tax. The cost only exists if player kills are part of your income: bounty hunters and invaders give up their cash cut entirely.

That makes the decision almost archetypal. PvE-focused earners and the frequently-hunted lose nothing they were counting on and keep 80% more of their pockets on death; PvP predators are paying real income for protection they may not need. Frugal requires Level 10; its zone, weight, and drop or vendor source are not documented in current community documentation.

FAQ

Who should use Frugal?

Players who carry cash and die to PvP more often than they profit from it - the 80% death-loss reduction protects your wallet, while the no-cash-from-players clause only hurts active PvP earners.

Does Frugal reduce cash lost to NPC or environment deaths?

The documented wording covers dying to players specifically; it does not mention other death types.
