    If you can afford the spirit, try levelling up Celestial Guardian's Seal some. The extra mana regeneration does help a little in the long term.

    Don't buy mana potions, only buy mana charms.
    Do you create mana regeneration items using apothecary?
    If not in a party, try meditating more often.
    Sold your dq and crafting items yet?

    Alt tabbing while grinding makes you die more often. Trufax.

    Ask anyone who's ever partied with me, I'm an alt-tab addict. b:surrender Macros help.

    I really enjoy cleric, even though I am broke. lol Of course, I'm fairly new. I like venomancer, too, but I love healing people when they're grinding and about to go down. My favorite thing is to just randomly go around healing people. xD

    By lvl 10 i had already collected over 100k just by doing all he quests. Right now i have around 300k as a cleric. Grinding and selling your dq items is often the best thing to do when you need money. It may take a while, but it works.

    Just so you know, a gold MP charm costs between 360-390k depending on how lucky you get. So all that money you have made in over 20+ levels isn't enough to buy 1 gold mp charm, and by 60 you can go through 1 a day. That's 400k on charm alone a day. Unless you get friends who'll help you cover the cost of your charms, cleric is ridiculously expensive.

    True. But thats only if you want that kind of help. I only buy the essentials, my armor is filled with sockets that either give you more def or mag. So the rest of my earnings go to a good load of potions or ingredients to make mana rejuvination items from the apothecary. If i ever go past a 50k spending limit i just go back to farming or helping a squad with their quest. I rarely buy cash shop items because it just makes the game easier. I like a challenge and when a mob attacks me i smile and fight like hell is breaking lose in my screen.lol.
    Back to the point. If your broke, go and farm on weaker monsters and gather their loot to sell. Keep the most expensive stuff though. no point holding some 100g worth item. And if you havethe money you can buy cash shop items then sell them for a good sum in the auctioner and such places.

    True, you can go through a gold MP charm a day, BUT I make over 400k grinding a day. Seriously, this game is so easy to make money in, im not sure how people are broke all the time.

    Farm, it makes money and you get good xp without noticing it. I spent two hours just farming today and made close to 300k. Of course as stated before all that money just goes back into the mp charm fund.

    It's tough but if you just spend that extra time to farm then you will never have a problem with money. Try to find wood based stuff a couple lvl's lower than you, that way the kills are quick and easy and you still get respectable xp.

    My best advice is to grind 8x mobs once your 8x and dont use training scrolls, thats the only way i profit unless i charge to heal in HH. good luck and stay broke.

    This may sound a bit oxymoronic for a cleric, but parties are the number one killer of cash. I'm almost exclusively solo grinding until 70, and I easily earn back about 3-4x what I spend on mana charms. I can even use XP scrolls constantly and still earn a profit, although that's not recommended. :P
    If you are patient enough to spend the time grinding, and know how to maximize efficiency, you will never have money problems.

    Personally, I save money by taking the time to go herbing an make focus powder, which helps prevent buying lots of potions. Also I go grinding in areas that have a lot of drops and I would sell them; vipons for example tend to drop a lot of items. I have only bought 1 gold charm so far, and have yet to use it. I still rely heavily on my powders, such as focus and jade.

    If you don't want to go that route, I would meditate more often, especially when I'm grinding; not to mention upgrading celestial guardian's seal would help out some, but sadly not a whole lot.

    Unfortunately, clerics are the most costly class, so one is gonna end up spending a lot of money on charms or herbs or whatever. So, I've just been practicing being thrifty, especially in teleportation; which does tend to be a huge drain on coins after awhile.

    Actually, a cleric is very cost efficient. I don't use mp charms unless I'm in a dungeon and have to use bb. Other than that, I meditate for ~60 seconds and my hp/mp bar is filled. If I get 2 sparks, I use them. I don't use my ult. 2 sparks = 1k~ mp instantly and a free 3 hit kill.
