Any good way to make AD nowdays?

mekols · April 2016

Hello, i just came back after a year without neverwinter. i remember in the old Days you could do dungeons for gear that you could sell for AD. is that still good? or any other ways?

Use the AH

rayrdan · April 2016

just play the game as you want. with 2 toons over 2.3k item level you are easily doing 70k+ ads every day.
this game doesnt need anything over 3k to play it with eyes closed.
about pvp: its sucks at 2k it sucks at 4k because you get paired with 2ks ...so it really changes nothing.
rank 9 enchantments are farmable in 2 weeks at most.

jaotut · April 2016

Well you can actually still do dungeon for gear to sell for AD. Just that the odds of getting that 1 item is a lot lower, but it's also worth quite a bit. Although the prices are slowly dropping down as expected due to supply and demand.

If you have the time, there's always ways you can find to make some AD.

plasticbat · April 2016

You need a few "playable" toons. I have 3. Getting all three to get AD from weekly takes a while. Then, AD from daily takes a while. Yes, there are ways to get some AD. With 3 toons and the time I spend on the game, I cannot earn all the AD I potentially can.

Of course, as mentioned, the salvage from gear that you can get from:
1. dungeon.
2. HE (i.e. rings)
3. Skirmish
4. eDemo, PoM, ....
5. Seal vendor (you get seal from dungeon, SH dragons, etc).

And the weeklies for 4500 RAD each, new one is Ballad of Baphomet for finishing the Maze Engine.

namelesshero347 · April 2016

The biggest bang for you time is to do two dungeons, then two skirmishes. You only get guaranteed AD for the first two dungeons and skirmishes. There is a good chance of getting salvageables also. In eLoL, VT, and MC, you can also get artifacts to sell for 300K-ish AD. But eLoL is the easiest and quickest to run.

Doing dragon runs in WoD is a good source of resonance stones to sell.

They're also removing AD from the last remaining leadership tasks. They should just remove the profession entirely -- there is no reason to use it anymore.

Three reasons: refinement stones; slowly leveling up alts; gold production

subnocte · April 2016

At level cap you still get a full AD reward for running low level dungeons, which despite 'scaling' are a total face roll and can be done in 5 minutes. By doing the epic ones you get up to 2-3 equipment drops that can be salvaged, and you can send these to alts if you're at the RAD cap. Ones with two chests at the end are best for farming.

Rings also drop from demonic HEs occasionally, as well as the underdark skirmishes, and these can be salvaged too (a blue ring is worth 3k AD).

darkstarcrash · April 2016

The new paradigm is earning AD by playing the game.

Run 2 dungeons, 2 skirmishes and 2 pvp matches -- and you will have maxed out the 36k rAD refinement cap on that toon, plus probably have enough gear to salvage (mail it to an alt) to cap another toon. Remember to buy gear with the seals you get and salvage that too (after you don't need the seals for personal gear, of course).

There is almost nothing you can get from dungeons to sell on the AH for AD, besides a very low chance at artifacts/artifact belts/cloaks. Everything else is character-bound or account-bound.

I'd suggest buying another 2 slots -- so you actively play 2 characters, and use the other 2 for salvaging/leadership/invoking/bag mules.

And hustin is wrong: Leadership is now all about RP stones, so losing the 3 rare tasks that gave 1600 rAD will go unnoticed by the vast majority of players.

dsn1118 · April 2016

Refining stones will become expensive again.Try doing dragon runs on WOD when you are not doing what previous posters suggested

wildfirede · April 2016

null
leadership remains more useful than almost any other profession due to a) other professions being total waste of time at endgame. b) still some drops of RP after nerfs

xaansteel · April 2016

Another good tip is that the blue salvagables from chests like Kessell and ESOT are bound to account, so while you can't sell them, you can pass them to your other characters through the shared bank slots or mail them to your account and open the mail on other characters, salvage them, and try to get your max rough AD refining on all 3, or however more characters you have, then buy stuff and pass it back the same way. Kessell and ESOT give you 1-2 per run depending on whether or not one drops from the boss, and you get a bit of other stuff. They don't take too long to do. Pretty much everything you do will get you something to sell or salvage. Though as it stands, rough AD is the low hanging fruit. That's pretty grindy but I'm just trying to help you out.

wildfirede · April 2016

on topic - invoking armies are a good way too 53 characters net in around 150k/day if you have nothing better to do

raydroot · April 2016

Selling resonance stones collected from dragon runs has supplied me a lot of AD.

If you thought those tasks were worth running over common tasks that generate refining stones, you were sadly mistaken anyway.

156 hours to earn 1600AD... that's some pretty poor return.

relkindx · April 2016

I'm a VIP and I use my daily key everyday to open a chest. then I sell whatever I get. Since I bought VIP when it was half off, it has been a pretty good investment.

schietindebux · April 2016

Running one castle never in case your char can deal high damage takes about 20-30 min.
Lets say you get one salvageable loot in purple , that's 6k ad in AH, one blue RP belt4k to sell, one ring from first box 3 to 6 k, one ring and an R8 enchant from second box and yoir daily ad 5k. That's 27k + 40k for that rank 8.

Anyone who has a leadership army running was not trying to run those AD task at all. They all run leadership army for something way better and way productive since the first AD nerf. This rare AD task nerf means absolutely nothing to them.

now use that as a divider for the millions of AD you need for BiS to get a sense of how fast you progress and how far.

schietindebux · April 2016

You can earn AD just by running dungeons and refining your raw AD and selling enchants, RP, loot in the AH, some luck with your daily key spend millions on top you can do far> 200k a day having 4 70's running but it takes time.
If you want to simply "get that AD by logging in for 30 min" you have to pay.

spaghettinerus · April 2016

I'm an old player as well, and I'm quite confused: the loot you get from dungeon is now Bind on Pickup, and there are no "grindy" ways to get diamonds decently?

I've been taking a look at the prices on the AH, and everything seems cheaper, but I guess that's just because diamonds are much more valuable nowadays, right?

lantern22 · April 2016

Some things are cheaper - i.e. rank 7 and 8 enchants, but at the moment weapon and armour enchants are probably the most expensive they have been. GMOPs are cheaper as they were reduced to 25K.

There is no more mass AD influx from leadership armies, so AD is generally worth more now. But imo prices are increasing again.

You now get around 4-5K RAD just from finishing a dungeon (not sure off the top of my head), you can get that for the first two dungeons runs per toon per day. You get 1 key per day free (more if you have VIP but that's not free is it), from the chest at the end you will get at least a blue item that is BoP that you can salvage for another 3K RAD and you might get something else - CN has drops of RP and appearance change gear that is not bound, so you can sell that on the AH. You also get seals for each dungeon run that can be traded in for blue gear that can then be salvaged for 3-5K.

As far grinding for AD

Running Kessels or Tuern gets you at least 3K blue piece of equipment at the end of each run, you also get 2.55K RAD for the first two runs for just finishing the skirmish. With a decent party it takes around 10-15mins

You can run two dungeons to get the 10ish K RAD and whatever other drops you might get

You can run demonic HE's (in DR and WOD etc.) - there is a chance for salvageable rings to drop, not high but they drop and you can also make use of the faezres to get additional demonic keys which you can use in CN, Demo etc.

You should be able to get the 36K RAD limit in about 2 hours of play if you are decently geared and team up with other ppl with similar ILs

So this basically means that people like myself, who stacked up on R7+ and MoPs are getting screwed up badly with something devalued hard, while everything costs less but in a time where getting ADs is hard like hell?

If average income drop (AD production) and less "foreign investment" (Zen bought by money), there will be a deflation. It is expected. It was expected when the leadership AD nerf long time ago.

If your comparing AD generation to someone who had a leadership army, then yes it is harder. But for your average casual player who didn't, earning AD is as easy as its ever been. You can earn 10K + in 30 mins of playing.

sockmunkey · April 2016

As an average casual player. I have to disagree. I dislike pugging. I have no fun in dungeons or skirmishes. But these are really the only ways to earn AD. I earn far less now then I ever did. And the little I do force myself to earn generally frustrates me to the point that I often have to take a break from the game.

schietindebux · April 2016

best way to make rp/AD having 3-4 70 chars is this mount btw.
http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Gilded_Giant_Spider
and dragonhoards, think those drops are not bound adn can be sold?
combined it´s the biggest boost you can get in this game beside VIP

I don't consider you an "average" player, you are someone who is playing a MMORP and yet doesn't like the "multi player" aspect, that's not average for this game imo. Casual, probably.

Any good way to make AD nowdays?
