    no such thing as easy money.. and don't buy pots. If anything, save up for a GOLD mp charm (cheaper in the long run compared to bronze/silver). I would suggest either saving up for a charm, or just meditating for mp. Just grind any mobs at around your level, although I'd look for air or water mobs because of the exp bonus.

    The level 30 pots from the SS are enough to last you through level 33 at the very least (still have ~80 HP and ~90 MP pots left from the SS at level 33).

    You shouldn't be running out of either HP or MP though. Kiting removes the "take damage" aspect and the water shell gives great MP-regen.

    Wizards are not mage of money.

    If money is what you're after predominantly and level 2nd then I have a whacky idea. Make a few alts, grab their genies and set them to 'trade-state' in 7 days you can mail them to yourself. Find a nice level, (something above 40 maybe good as you can convert the crazy stone daily into xp depending on genie prices) then pick a mob with good DQ drop rates. I recommend Ramshackle Rocs they're a metal based air mob. Water mobs are good too, try and aim for melee types as you'll get hit less with will of the pheonix. Now just pour XP and/or SP into genies and get them to lvl 40 hoping for as many lucky points as possible. Of course you'll remain at that level for ages but DQs will pour in and genies should sell for around the millions if lucky points are high enough.

    True money making is from playing the markets and speculating. Once you have a fairly big bank roll you can start buying up bulk items, especially discounted cash shop products. Then sell at the current gold rate once the sale has finished.

    If you have enough money and are, IMO, a tosser you can buy up all of one type of item and resell at a near monopoly price.

    Good luck.

    want to make coins?
    1. meditate. potions and charms are especially expensive to low levels.
    2. don't do dragon quests. sell all DQ items to NPC.
    3. buy gold with real money.

    I tend not to use MP pots, just meditate and wait for your MP to refill before you start killing again

    That + selling my DQ items meant I got to small fortune

    I don't use potions at all. Well.. except in case of an emergency of course. What I do is I keep a Gold Life Charm on me always, if you're playing right it shouldn't be getting drained very much. And as a mage you'll find it very useful for saving your life quite a few times. As for MP, I find the MP Charm to be a waste of money. At 75% recharge it drains so fast it'll be gone in just a few days.

    I keep glacial embrace on, Wellspring Quaff is good, too. When I run out of MP I recast both Wellspring Quaff and Glacial Embrace and then meditate. It takes longer, but it's worth it when you need the money for buying new skills, especially when you're a higher level.

    Patience is a virtue.
