    Default Flaimdude's Quick 'n Easy Guide to Making Gold

    Hey everybody! This is a very short guide for all of those people who beg for gold on PL!

    How to make gold:
    1) Farming. Farming is going through certain levels, such as boss levels, over and over again to get money from chests, and items from monster and boss drops. Or, if you have a lower level character, just go through the quests and and level up, and you will get a fair amount of gold that way too.

    2) Trading. Buy low, sell high. Simple as that, and since the auction house isn't out for a while, it really is as simple as that. Spend some time selling people items at different prices and see what works (I can't give away too many trade secrets ). Also, NEVER liquidate an item unless it's a white or gray item. Trust me, you can sell oranges and greens. Also, using this way, you kinda need money to make money (to buy up bargains when you see them), so use the first one for a while first.

    3) Buy it with plat. If you're insanely rich, just pull a *cough* and buy tons of gold with real money. However, if it's not your own money, your parents could get mad and that'd be bad. So stick to the first two unless you know this one is safe!

    tl;dr: buy low and sell high.

    Cheers! I hope to see all of you fine gentlemen and ladies in the game sometime with our tophats and insanely rare items that we've bought with our mountains of gold. ;D

    just ignore them

    this happens in most of online games

    What i hate even more is the rampent greedy prices for items, theres no FN way any item is worth anywhere close to 100-400k gold.

    My recommendation is to actually play the game.

    I totally hate people coming into missions too. I was working on a third character a few days ago. Some character magicalx would join a game. Say he had "super" items and then I'd get a magicalx wants to trade with you. He'd lurk and spam awhile then he'd leave. This happened in MULTIPLE games.

    I think it ought not be acceptable to do that- even in open games. What if a new player buys something and then finds out five lvls later that they were scammed into paying 1K for a white broken sword that drops as loot all the time? It will make some of them not like the game...

    As for me, it infuriates me for some jerk to spam our chat window in a game >

    I'd say 98% of the people playing are the greediest people I've ever had the misfortune to play a game with.

    As a wise man once said, "Everything is worth what a purchaser will pay for it." If someone is willing to pay 100k for a hat, then the hat was worth 100k. If you don't want to pay 100k for the hat, then don't do it.

    Personally, I agree with you about the prices. I've paid 25k for a wand, but I won't pay much more than that for anything. (And I only paid 25k because it was a friend selling.) There's no bloody way that I'd pay 100k for a hat. Just ... no. Not me.

    But that's me. (And you, apparently.) If someone else is willing to pay 100k for a hat, then it doesn't bother me.

    That said, I think some of these prices (especially the hats) are because of novelty. Pink and purple hats are new, so they're still a bit uncommon, and people are willing to pay for novelty. It won't last. I'm not a hardcore farmer, but all of my characters have purple hats now. And I didn't buy any of them. So I think the market will correct itself soon enough, and then the prices will drop back down to something more reasonable.

    Just wait out the "gold rush" and see the prices come back down to earth. That's what I'm doing.

    Thanks.

    And no, price fixing is what killed RS trading imo.

    The sooner the auction house arrives the better.

    Oh and a pretty decent way to get gold is to run thru mega maze with a party of 35's.

    Agreed on this but fore a Mage, I can run through mega maze solo and just Mage home as I keep running, it really quick. But for other guys who only kills one at a time, I agree u get more guys for much faster play.

    I'll have to say that buying low and selling high is a bit vague and frankly unhelpful.

    I will not go into detail but, I think a better way to put it is: Buy lower, sell under.

    Buy lower, as in, buying at a price that's lower than the current accepted price.

    Sell under, as in, selling under the price of every other merchant within the immediate vincinity.
