Prolinechan - Sanctuary

your friend is just lazy and a beggar... barbs don't make money as easily.. but he can grind just as easily.. he just won't make money as fast as you.. it will still be making money ... his best bet is entirely physical mobs of earth element typing (because of poison fang) .. i don't remember if there are any around those levels though

Veno's usually make more money because they have very low expenses. We only have to repair our weapons most of the time, and we rarely use pots or other apoth items. We also don't have that much use for charms the majority of the time unless we pk.

Doesn't sound like a great friend if he's always demanding that you give him money. It's my understanding that barbarians start making a lot more money once they are more capable of running TT, Rebirth Orders, etc. You always make money faster at higher levels.

Heres a tip, ALWAYS TT with friends and people you know. I hate joining squads with people that I do not know. I do not trust em on item splitting and hate when they go afk for long periods of time.

Devarsi - Sanctuary

even with TT.. the prices are dropping really fast.. its not a big money maker.. you can play the market.. you can grind.. you can TT.. you can do rebirth quests... all of it makes money.. just nothing at that fast a pace

i made all my money off rebirth quests.. but that was when tome frags were 400k a piece.. now they are like 150k a piece.. not as big a cash cow anymore

Barbs don't make as much money grinding as venos...period. Half of what we manage to grind up, we spend on repair costs.

But that's life for a melee toon and its no reason for him demanding money of you. He should make a veno alt to fund his barb. I've got a under 20 veno and already she is making money (minor as it may be) for my barb.

Grinding on magic mobs is actually pretty easy.
You just run up with Alclarity. Flesh ream twice (rinse) and repeat.

Your friend is a moochb:laugh

yea about that, my bm is a blades user, so I have more dex than axe/hammer users but less than roughs, so I do just a bit less damage, but I hit more often and have more crits (5% now (crit arrow included)).
Still, half that I farm I have to give away on repairs, pots. I try to buy as little amount of pots I can to save coin, because I can't even pay for the skills I need >_<
I made most of my coin through selling DQ items at NPC (the chance of selling them to players is a waste of time and I usually get dc after a few hours, so...)
I know the cost is I don't get the orbs, exp and silver, but it did give me some extra income to pay for things I needed, all of this changed around lvl 38, when skills became more expensive and less dq items were dropping.

Averian - Lost City

Lextrux. Dont worry so much. I am a sword BM too and my advice to you would be know what DQ items to sell. I manage to sell all my DQ items after lots of patience and earned me pretty much. And DQ items drop pretty common around this lvl.

As for barb, every class is capable of making money. Just more or less. For a barb, it will be a problem cause they tank a lot. However, if your friend uses his money wisely, he would get by. He can just use less pots and sit rest instead and he should know heiros are cheaper than pots so ask him to use one if he doesnt have one yet. But he is only a barb... Imagine wizards and cleric, spending so much on their skills. He should just deal with it himself.

1) tell him to get fcked and make his own money
2) I have NEVER had problem wid money, and its not like ive got **** gear or anything
3) a good advice-pick up EVERYTHING that drops even coins, if he cant be bothered to pick up everything coz hes griding, tell him to stop qqing about being poor. Most of the time, you'll get heaps of DQ stuff which will bring in heaps of income

Don't listen to these kids, PLAY THE MARKET

I have 2kk cash and this is not my alt.

making money in gridding... a barb?

I am a miner, I farm materials to made ultimate substances. I can made 6 US (ultimate susbtances) per hour, I sell 2 US in the actioneer for 135K, so If I sell 6 US I can get around 380K per hour, and yes I farm the materials with my barbarian because he is my main char. I almost spent 9 millions to get my tt 70 stuf, plus helm of aqua vishou and equine talisman.

Merchanting is great for making money, but can be pretty tedious. best to have a second computer or laptop that you can run a 24/7 shop on since multi-boxing is allowed.

Its hard work makeing money as a barb at 1st when i started to get the high repair costs i was useless at makeing/saveing money burning it all on pots/repairs so i had a read over the forms on tips to playing ur barb.

1st thing is dont grind in human yes u have more damage u might kill the mob faster but grinding in kitty is much better with the use of sunder maxed to ur lvl means no more money to spend on pots saves about 150k for a 8 hour grind.

2nd people often sell things cheaper in kitty shops if u dont have a 2nd pc/laptop to run a stall 24/7 like me u can offten pick up a few things cheap in kitty shops and resell in the AH for a bit more while ur out grinding for money!!

3rd repair as offten as u can makes it seem like u spend less than when u turn up and the reapir cost is 160k+ 2 or 3 times a day depending on how much u like to grind.

Its not easy playing a barb one of the slowest most clostly classes to lvl but its not hard to make money just takes time i can make 500k+ a day and affter reapirs, pots, miji, i can stilll walk away with 300k for the bank.

Also dont wast cash on mp pots a mp charm in the long run is way way cheaper than buying mp pots if u want to make money hand over foot ur playing the rong class so reroll a veno stop bringin a bad name to the babrs by mooching of ur friends guildies dont be so lazy get out there and use ur brain its not realy hardb:angryb:angry

Reevoive - Lost City

mp charms was a good point. people sell gold charms for more than half the cost of the mp pots it takes for an equivalent mp value

Tysken - Sanctuary

When I farm, I have a helm with + 3 MP Regeneration, use all my buffs, accationally use sunder, and mostly use Advanced Spark Eruption.

With this set up (and the correct mobs, which I will not provide lol) I use zero pots, mana nor health, and can farm as long as my heart desires.

You would be surprised how much +3 MP regen actually helps a Barb never use MP pots. And the rare times my life gets below my comfort zone, I just rest for 60 secs and have full HP and MP. I plan on getting Tree of Protection which costs 200 stamina to never have to rest while farming. A lvl 2 blade gives you 10 yiyan stones which is 400 stamina. So each tme you cast the spell it essentially costs you 420 coins, which can be made up by 1-3 coin drops from mobs.

As far as repair costs, well they are high but I have noticed that I usually have 10% of the dragon quest and item drops cut out by the repairs, but the coin drops make up for all if not more than the repair cost.

Also save all the pots you get and put em in storage. I am still using lvl 40 mana pots lol.

I farmed for 1 hr yesterday and made 130k on drops, 30k in coins, repair cost 28k. So I think I am making decent money as a barb.

Making money is as easy as picking up everything that mobs drop. Considering we are a melee class, if you don't pick up the loot, you are just plain lazy. For Archers/Wizards and all other ranged class I can see why picking up loot COULD be a waste of time, but in the end it never is. Just put pick up to an easy to reach button, click it a few times when the mob dies and you will get money.

I advocate the opposite! b:laugh

When I had about 5mill I roughly doubled it thanks to the surprise pigment sale that happened a month or so ago. It took 1 week for the pigments to all sell, at which point the Battle Packs went on sale and effectively turned the ~10mill into ~16mill. Total profit of ~11mill for about 2 hours spent trading, most of which was opening pigments/Battle Packs.

Obviously I got very very lucky and had enough capital to invest in the first place, but my point is that shopping can be hugely rewarding for very little time investment, even for us "poor" Barbs. b:chuckle

Suggestion for your friend:
Either put effort into the game and make money like the rest of us
or
Put effort into real life so you can become rich and buy as much zen/gold as you want ;D

Best advice. Gathering materials and apothecary.

Even at low levels, gathering materials and then selling them to others can often make up for your repair costs. Gathering materials while grinding can also give you those little breaks in combat to recover a bit of health/mana and save on potion costs. Often, those materials are just sitting there, so you might as well help yourself. When you get to the level 26+ range, secondary mats, like leather and oil can earn you quite a bit of money when grinding, so grind smart and find out what drops what. In my mid-late 30s I was making a good 20-40k an hour grinding on spawns in the secret passage between selling mats and DQ items.

Apothecary is also strongly suggested. Those hp/mp per tick drugs are awesome for grinding. Other herbs can be made into other useful drugs that improve damage, or defense, both can make your life easier in certain situations.

Beyond that, I would suggest doing a more offense based build until the around level 70. Higher damage means smaller repair bill, and slightly higher agro. Below level 70, you usually won't be required to tank too many extremely hard things, so as long as you can keep agro, and have a cleric who doesn't have their head up their bum, you're usually good. After level 70, you can pretty much figure out if you want to be an uber tank, or just a decent one.

Look this is the real answer for your friend:
If he's stupid tell him to grind.
If he's smart tell him to play the market.
