    Default Tips/Pointers on how to make good money!

    Okay so some people make threads on how to make money but only put one idea down so instead i will be combining all of the ideas on one thread so people are not looking around for an idea they like. These ideas i hope should make the scamming rate decrease.
    *Index at the bottom of page!
    Farming/Liquidating- Okay first thing is farming i may not be fun but sometimes you stumble upon an expensive item sometimes an item that gives you enough gold for a months worth. Farming is simple basically you will go into a dungeon that you can solo fast and easy that you know for a fact has good drops like crush the keeper in ao3. Once you are done with every dungeon look at ur items you found look if the names are familiar or not and ALWAYS check cs prices.

    Merchanting- Merchanting is sometimes hard and sometimes the best thing in your life.
    Merchanting is sometimes a gamble what you do is you gather up gold nothin like 1-50k i
    would prefer 100k to start and you look for cheap items like 10-200k lower than cs or
    lower and buy and resell for normal prices merchanting is not a fast process it can
    sometimes take 1-3 days so buy auction slots(yeah thats right im advertising those
    slots:P) the more slots you have the more you can sell and after doing this for 2-3 weeks
    or less you can make up to 4 mil or higher. I would prefer this only if you are patient and
    confident and have knowledge on drop rates and prices.

    Trading- okay this is by far the easiest thing to do. THIS DOES NOT MEAN RIP PEOPLE
    OFF OR SCAM THEM! IF YOU DO ONE OF THOSE 2 THINGS YOU WILL BE BANNED! Okay
    so have you ever ran threw a town seen people selling an item and is desperate for cash?
    sometimes if they are nice and you are lucky you can offer them gold and item and resell
    their item for full price and make alot of money.

    Index/Dictionary-
    First- Farming
    Second- Merchanting
    Third- Trading
    Terms/Meanings-
    Cs- Consigment store/auction house located in balefort(not sewers).
    Merchanting-Buy and resell objects for more money
    Farming- Constant killing for items.
    Liquidating- Selling items in your bag.

    Eh, I think merchanting is the fastest way, with the low drop rates and all..., plus, I can make a million in 2 days xD
    that which does not kill me makes me stronger <3

    Agreed.

    @Ayc. You need to be extremely lucky to earn 2m in 2 days.

    Btw, 100k is VERY low to start on merchanting, runnig Ao3 Crush map earns you more money then. i recommend at least 1m to start.

    Buying and selling is not very fun, and can become a full time job to do it well. After a year of merchandising, you can be the richest person in the game, but realize that with that amount of time you could have gotten a job and made real money.

    Just figure out what you need to have fun playing your character. And don't get sucked into the full time merchandizing thing.

    With typical grouping and hunting, people get what they need to play the game. Gold obsession is a waste of time.

    I agree you've got some got info there but would benefit from some formatting.

    As people suggest additional info make sure you add it to your guide to keep it fresh and improving constantly.

    My 2 cent/pence, making money doesn't have a quick fix solution. Farming requires you to be skillfully efficient to get the best return. Merchanting needs you to have a disable trading pot and a good working knowledge of prices ranges. Trading need you to have a great knowledge of prices. I'd full suggest reading all the great guides to improve your playing effectiveness, and become a expert a one group of items prices and expand that knowledge slowly.

    I'd also move your index to the top so people can find what they're looking for easily.
    Use the SEARCH function or it'll probably be here--> PL stuff or SL stuff >>> I'm 'SRINGY 2' .

    Also, one more thing. Ripping people off is not a bannable offense. Scamming people is, might want to change thar in your guide. Cheers!
