^ Woah, spam. Also, playing "fake" PW is illegal and you might get banned from PWI.

Anyways, to stay on topic... I think this was mentioned before but a good way to earn money: buy underpriced items and sell them for their normal price (or a bit under). For example, I recently got a Gryphon (untamed fly) for 6mil, its price on AH was 8mil, so I sold it for 7.9mil. Profit (after auction fee): about 1.8mil. (: This is how I saved up for my Herc.

Also, low mats go for 5k each (or around that). During double drop rates, I start a new character to farm low mats and / or hay and end up with 1mil in mats every day (depends how many hours you can play a day). Best to farm with a Veno.

High lvl people can farm bosses and TT, but they should already know this.

amazing ^^ this will help a lot xD one question though: what about decomposing equipment? whats your opinion on that?

johnmattrick

Oh this is so cool. Does anyone know how many accounts I "should" create to avoid problems while optimizing the benefit?

this the guide for ppl who think, "if i want to be good in this game i need to cash shop" b:victory and ofc new players b:laugh

And they don't ever need to think this. The cash shop is not as helpful as people make it out to be. It costs too much real money to get any useful benefit out of it.

I would have to add. For archers. I did my Call to Duty. quest and got the Trial Crossbow. (a High Lvl did it for me.) And At 20 u also get the lvl 5 Bow. Both are about equal. SO what i do is Trade out the 2 As i grind. I use Bolts that ive found. And when i find Arrows I use the Arrows. This Keeps me from Having to Buy ammo. When in a party if ur the only Archer. ask for the Ammo (it wont kill ya) More then Likly they will hand them over.

This is My Pro tip to help with Cost's.

Also When Flying. Use Smaller Potions that you've Found or If u Upgraded. Use the ones u dont use while Grinding. This will do 2 things. Deplete ur Leftovers and Save some $$$. Also Selling the Chiu Niu Items (AKA Dragon Quest, DQ Items) Are a great Revenue.

Also QUEST's will give Ton of money. so do them and dont skip them... they are easy!

I don't know what I been missing but I parked my cleric at lvl 85 because I LOST money constantly helping others - very few people ever "paid" me anything, the few that did were long time friends that felt sorry for my economic plight!!

I was ready to quit the game entirely when my cleric was around lvl65 or so. I created a BM with the express intent to raise coin for my elf - problem is I enjoyed the BM so much I quit leveling my elf at 85 and made my BM my main. I may not be a lot better off economically with my BM "BUT" at least I can actually beat the **** out of mobs and participate in Boss kills rather than burning endless MP expense healing tanks to make them look like the hero(they die without the cleric IH spam but THEY are the hero).

I only use my elf to assist friends, which of course is a drain of coin.

TT was supposedly an option to raise coin but I spent more on AH fees for failed auctions despite underpricing others on everything.

I have yet to "pay" anyone for assisting me either - so I don't know how anyone can suggest that is a realistic option. For the record I did read that somewhere in forums when my elf was in his 40's - wow - suggesting others "pay me" to come help them went over real well - not!!

The suggestion of selling drops to NPC and picking up every coin in your sight is the most common and realistic. Selling Herbs and crafting mats in Catshop or AH are also very good BUT your never gonna raise enough coin to support your TT gear, weapons and skills from level 80 on up. Unless you do nothing but endless Farming and mining!

Once I learned how to obtain items to resell in catshop for profit successfully even that changed with constant events that made reselling for profit very difficult, if not impossible.

i just have a question, if you want to sell stuff like mats and herbs using a "cat shop" where do you find good prices because i never know if the prices i set are too high or too low

For crafting mats, there are usually tons of cat shops by the blacksmith or tailor in west arch. Wine mat shops are right by Mister Tso. Herbs shops are right by the apoth in west arch. There might be others spread out in arch, but those are usually the best places to look for reference.

Hello all, Amiris here. Felt like making a short guide on moneymaking, because it seems the majority of newer people have trouble keeping up with equipment, and nearly every high lvl player complains about skill costs. First of all, don't mind my avatar. My main is NOT lvl 42. She's higher. Amiris is my forum char because the rest of my avatars are bugged.
Anyway, on to the actual guide. I'll divide the concept of money making into two subcategories.

1) Making money
2) Saving the money you've made

Should be reasonable enough. Alright, on to making money.
I'll list several effective ways to do this.

A) Grind.

Fairly obvious. When grinding, you get lots of money and item drops. Pick them ALL up, unless there's some insane swarm of monsters on top of it and you can't handle them. Do NOT ignore the money drops, even though there seems to be so little money. It builds up. A player lvling from 1-20 without picking up any money missed out on, on average, about 50-60K. And those are the easy no-grind lvls.
Also, sell any drops you may get to the NPC. This includes Dragon Quest drops, unless you're actually able to sell them to other players. I wouldn't count on that. From my own experiences, it's best to sell every single DQ drop to the NPC, unless you're really desperate to upgrade your bank.
Items you should keep :
-Things you may need, such as potions
-Good equipment (good equipment is any BLUE two-star item or better. Explanation below.)
-Materials if you need them
Just for comparison, at lvl 45, my Venomancer made about 100K while grinding 30%.

Help people

Sounds odd, doesn't it. "But Amiris, I don't want to get paid for helping people." That's right, you don't. Helping people just because they'll pay you isn't exactly nice. However, it does work the other way around. People may pay you just because you helped them. Like a Ch'in squad needing a Cleric, those aren't exactly rare, and they'll often end up paying the Cleric for their help. Other such occasions are helping people with a dungeon (without wine. You don't get paid for a wined run.), or crafting items for others (provided they give you the materials).

C) Sell the good items

To players, that is. If you got a nice equipment drop from a monster, your best option would be to sell it to a player, because they're usually worth a lot more than the NPC will pay you. Good equipment is usually a blue-named two-star item with decent stats (By which I mean a magic weapon with accuracy does NOT have decent stats). Now, there's three types of people:
-People who sell their items through chat. This is usually not a great option. Trade chat in West Archo can get you a buyer sometimes, but it's usually not very effective.
-People who sell their items through a 'cat shop'. This is a good option for the medium-priced items.
-People who sell their items through the auction. This is a great option for the medium to high-priced items. You can set a minimum bid (and a buyout price), then just go grind. After 24 hours, the item will get sold to the highest bidder (earlier if someone payed the buyout price). Downside is that you have to pay to use the auction. Costs are negligible though, just make sure you'll get more money out of it than you put in.

D) Farm
"What, I'm not a farmer!" No, but you should farm materials. Anytime you see a material, grab it. They sell high and they're quite common, especially at the higher lvls, when you're the only one around to grab it. It's usually best to decide what materials you'll grab though, as bank space is limited. If you have to decide, pick either herbs or the rest.

E) FB's are great exp

But they're horrible for money. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT lvl doing just call to duties for the reward. There is NO money reward, and you won't get a lot of drops in dungeons. You may get lucky and get a mold, but don't count on it. Do an fb every once in a while, don't constantly stand in towns asking for call to duties.
How does this make money? Because it relates to grinding. No fb's = more grinding = more money.


There, that's basic money making. Now, how to save the money you've made.

A) Walk, fly, run, swim

"Uhh, I do that already." Yes, but not enough. Way too many people teleport around places. Put it this way : If you're paying to teleport around Archosaur, or paying the -I think- 5K to go from Sumor Camp to Swiftwind Tribe, you're wasting your money. You may think it's not a lot, but it really builds up. Teleporting is the number 1 mistake people make regarding their money. I generally only teleport between the following places :
-The three main cities : They're relatively far from each other, and I'll admit it's quite dull to fly between them as much as you should. Therefore, I teleport between these.
-City of the Lost -> Wellspring Village : My gateway to Archosaur. It costs 200 coins, and flying from there to Archosaur takes about 2 minutes. Saves you 2.8K.
-The towns from lvl 1-20 : Eh, it's only 200 coins, you can make that back from a single monster. You have to walk too much at the lower lvls otherwise.
Also, if you have TW teleports in your faction, use them wisely, because they're awesome.

Edit: The FREE teleport to Archosaur. Starting at lvl 40, if you want to get to Archosaur, go to a main town (the lvl 1 and 2 territory towns) and go to the Adventure Assistant and Khatru Pup. Have either teleport you into the Cube of Fate, then talk to the Exit manager in there to warp to Archosaur. Free teleport, use it.

Don't buy NPC items

NPC items are NOT worth the price you pay for them, though I suppose shards are an exception to that rule. If you need items, buy them from players or the auction. This especially goes for equipment. Usually, blue two-stars in the auction are cheaper than white 1-star NPC items.

C) Don't buy stuff cause it's pretty

Too often do I see this: people buying three-stars with horrible stats just because they glow. Or imbuing elemental shards into your equipment, just for the looks. That's a LOT of money down the drain. And a blue weapon isn't really exceptional either - don't expect to be seen as a god just cause you have one.

D) Boutique Clothes don't do anything

So don't get them unless you really, really want them. And even then, make sure you can really spare the money. Boutique Clothes are only there to look nice. I suppose this falls under C a bit...

E) Only get the good skills

Don't waste your money just to try a skill out. Read the description, look it up, then decide whether or not you want it. For example, many wizards want to get Hailstorm, it's an AoE and all. However, the skill is totally rubbish. Money (and SP) wasted.

F) Forums first

Got a question? Ask it on the forums. Don't waste teleacoustics on world chat to get an answer to a simple question. I, for one, look at the forums every 30 minutes or so, to see if there's unanswered questions.

So there you have it. Hope that helped some of you newer players, and maybe even a couple higher lvls. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, and feel free to submit anything you think should be added.



i think that this is a great guide i earned 20k by not using the teleports(i have a problem with discovering) if someone want to discover something i want to join and walking around i long and boring but it rlly saved me 20k in 2 weeks b:thanks
