    Actually, I can simplify your guide into once sentence, and I suppose you ought to just size 100 it and underline it and make it red:

    PLAY A VENOMANCER .... THEY NEED YOU IN DUNGEONS, AND YOU ARE 0 MAINTENANCE, NOW GO GET THEM TIGER!

    ALSO, DON'T PLAY A CLERIC DUM DUM.

    At first i thought you had stolen this guide and called it yours, because i once saw it on google.

    But you didn't, and it's a really good guide.

    Thanks :D

    I think this guide is really good.

    I also wanted to add if you are an Archer you can save money on arrows by setting up a kitty shop to buy ammo. Normally NPCing ammo gives 1 coin each but buying them costs 3 coin. I setup shop to buy ammo for 2 coin from players so they benefit and I do as well.

    I did see a bit of a red flag regarding coin/item litter. Please make sure not to try and obsessively loot another player, let them have their space. I tend to kill 3-4 mobs before I loot and get really annoyed when someone runs up to the loot after a kill and stands there holding the pickup key so I have to stop grinding to pickup my own loot. Pickup the loot if the player leaves the area but you can inconvenience people by trying to steal their loot after every monster they kill.

    hey theres one point that i find could be changed. which is not spending coins on botique items. i find that if you do it carefully, you could make quite a bit. i made like 100k trading clothes already. dont seem like much to the higher lvls, but for low lvls like me? its a lot

    I made all my money by starting gold trading when I was level twenty. It all started with one gold and just took disipline to not spend the profit that I made.

    Question:

    I have dual blades (Broken.) (So they're 0 coins worth to NPC's.)
    But i have already better blades in use. So i don't know if i must repair them,
    and what i must do with it then.

    I have broken Dual Hammers too... But that's a quest reward from the chest , so i can't trade them. What must i do with these things. (I don't go use them anymore because my blades are better.)

    What do u have to say about repairing stuff?

    I totally disagree with some of the part such as grinding it's so boring ~o~ and i make like 200k-400k per hour depending if i can sell DQ back for higher profits then an NPC and then I FB like a maniac from lv 40all the way til 80 yet i still have spare $$ and the best items mounts

    It's all opinion based how you make $$
    Another Trick is to keep all ur $4 int he bank and only bring minimum with you and say you're poor really works stops temptation of buying

    You should mention that if you need to teleport to a city to NPC items, you can use the Town Portal skill. Totally free, only tradeoff is that you can only cast 1 time every hour. Nice guide!

    are you sure it teleports you to the nearest city?
    I tried it in broken bridge village and i was pissed when it teleported me right back to broken bridge village...
    It's time to play the game.

    Broken Bridge village is a city. I think Town Portal teleports you to the nearest place with a Teleport master, with only a few exceptions.

    For the FB part, I don't totally agreed. More FB means more reputation and if you get enough you'll have gear that kickass for half nothing. Ever seen a robe with channeling -3%, HP+80, Magic+4-5 for 50k ?

    Fear of inflation is always a factor in an MMO, but PWI is doing a pretty good job of controlling the primary causes of this problem. If you scam, you get banned. If you bot, you get banned. There are GMs around and tools to report hackers and scammers. So long as PWI keeps a watch on things, the hyper inflation that has killed many other MMOs is likely to be held in check.

    At least, let's hope so.

    As for the guide, great work. I was a bit disappointed at first that there were no big secrets, as like everyone I have a bit of trouble getting coins, even following all the ideas. But at the same time, it means that I am doing things correctly and will just have to keep plugging away.

    I would suggest to the newer players that one major advantage is to pair up with a good playing partner. If you play together and can trust each other, you can share stacks. For example, my daughter and I play, and she holds ALL the DQ items while I tend to hold a lot of apothecary materials. We sell DQ items when the stacks are over 50 (so if there are 60 in a stack, we sell 10) and we pool our coins as well, so if either of us needs something, all of our coins can be used to buy it. We keep some DQ items because we are still doing some of the Dragon Quests. So far it is working well, but I am sure there will be the odd conflict that needs to be resolved at times. (Being her dad, I tend to be the one who caves b:chuckle.)

    At higher levels, create or join a faction. Most factions will do this same kind of thing in that there are going to be those characters that specialize in what items they have. Buying and selling from/to a faction member is likely to be a lot more cost effective than buying and selling from Cat stalls.

    Of course, it all depends on trust.

    Good Luck!
