One question.

[Vincent]

Is it possible to buy all SDU upgrades and skills?
If yes, then when is the earliest level to achieve that?

[blinkmoth]

SDU's:
you need 210 Eridium for each weapon class maximum SDU.
For the bank & backpack 560 each.
Total Eridium required for all upgrades: 2590.
there's no such thing as an earliest posssible level, you only need to have the Black Market unlocked in your story, the rest is farming Eridium.

You can't buy skills. You get skillpoints by leveing up, level 72 / 68 skillpoints is maximum.

[Dryden]

You can buy all the SDU's.. but it will take a while as the cost increases dramatically. Once you can beat the four dragons on normal in the tiny tina dlc then you will be able to buy all of them without having to farm too much.

As for skills, at level 72 you will have 68 skill points to use (if you count the one used for the action skill).

So, how can i farm Eridium as early as possible?

I'd say wait until the end of your first playthrough. Then you can farm the Warrior for Eridium, he drops a lot, also gives decent xp, and some occasional Legendaries. But anything earlier is probably a waste of time, too little Eridium to farm efficiently.

EDIT: as Dryden said, the Dragons in Tinas DLC are also a good place, if you have already progressed to that point there. The dragons drop around ~70 E, the warrior around ~30. But the warrior is a much easier fight, I think it's more efficient to farm him, however I have never done a precise comparison.

[Dryden]

Tiny tip for farming the warrior once you get to that point. Once you beat it, grab whatever you want and exit to the main menue, instead of leaving the area. That way you won't have to waste time on the trash monsters leading up to the boss fight.

How much time do you have?

I farmed some high level gear, sent it to my low level as soon as they could access locker and black market and sold the weapons for tons of money, then spent about 2 hours using slot machines to get eridium, maxed all the upgrades I was going to use then played the game.

There are other ways but I just wanted to see how much Eridium I could get

Hmm that's not a bad idea if someone has a high level char. Do the slot machines give E independent of playthrough or player level?

Btw you can also do red chest farming. No made a pretty good guide about that in this forum, few days ago.

Ofc both the slot machines and the red chests are slower than farming the warrior, but you can do it much earlier and avoid a fight.

[Dryden]

The only thing that ever changes about the slot machines is the cost and level of the gear. I managed to collect a few hundred E in two hours on one of my alts.. though I would likely go insane if I ever attempted to do it again.

If you happen to have higher level character or a good friend with higher level character, you can twink random trash item/cash to low level character and spend some time at Moxxi's. Playing on slot machines can grant you tons of eridium (and some badass points), provided you have some free time.

No need since someone modified his server to make me maxed out my SDU and skill points.
Maybe next time when I use my newly-created Axton.

oh man. Just get gibbed and do the job yourself if you don't care about cheating. Takes 30 seconds. BTW maxing all skills is a really dumb idea with most chars. But you'll figure that out yourself eventually.

[randygilmore2001]

IMHO you lose alot by rushing the game this way, but as others have said, you will now find this out.

[Fatty]

If you join a friends game while you are level 1 and he is farming a boss that
drops mutltiple eridium's you can get all SDU upgrades by collecting lots
of eridium there.
Joining a modded lobby for instant max and skills is very exciting I bet.
Cheating is what's that called. The use of any software other than the
game and your operating system is cheating even if its the other players
that use the outside software to impact your stats. So now we know
you are a cheater.
