I've been feeling a little bit down lately, because
We're not needed in FBs or TTs and are not able to pick loot in TT since we have last priority.
We can't solo any boss/mini boss.
Solo grinding drives me nuts.
No money to buy hp/mp charms or good equips or TT mats for equips.

Should I roll a veno like everyone else?

    well whats your lvl?
    in TTs an archers sharptooth+DD is quite awesome makes fights a LOT faster, a squad with a strong archer saves a lot of time and charm cost for others

    about last drop priority? well yah i had that issue used to get scrweed over by self centered tankers that thought they deserved all the drops, start subbing, start being the banker and do even drop splits in TTs everyone walks away with a roughly equal amount of value in drops+ a lil for subber and charm burning classes, for most TTs you can even get venos to tank, makes splits even easier, or just join a faction that doesnt **** you over

    archers can solo most every elite they need for quests using aim low knockback and stun, rarely getting hit, whie we dont do bosses solo well, with a cleric we can tank most ranged bosses in game, even a few world bosses are easiest done with an archer tanking

    solo grinding drives you nuts? er..this is a asian mmo, not exactly sure your issue here, till 90+ we can make a ton of money and fast xp solo grinding, with clerics we can aoe grind some lvls, and are one of best fishing classes at 8x
    no money? well youve stated your TT issue, and grinding is a huge source of money... and mp charm? most the time you dont even need one

    Yea as you said we're in TT to make them faster only, which people give as the reason to **** us over, all the more reason to discourage me from participating in further TT runs.

    What I meant about driving me nuts is more about the repetitiveness of solo grinding, but I guess that's kinda hard to avoid, unless I spend to zhen/RB.

    Here's my question, I hear of 70+ venos making 50m in a couple of weeks just soloing TT with herc in squad mode, so how much can i expect to get from solo grinding with my archer by selling DQ and **** equips, and is it feasable/sustainable for getting citrine sharded 90+ equips by the time I reach those levels? And/Or for zhen/RB?

    When I was still grinding I could make 250k / hour in DQ. Factor in charm / scroll costs and it was more like 150k/hour. You aren't going to get more unless you get the occasional -6% channel neck or a crit ring or something.
    Though I never did RB gamma I think thats probably the most profitable since you can get immaculate shards there which sell for a lot.

    If you want lots of money get some TT buddies who do a fair split and keep doing more runs over and over.

    Oh, quit your whining. At least you have Sharpened Tooth to fall back on as a reason for people to invite you.

    What do us Wizards get? Frostblade? Ooh, yeah, a glowin' blue hand's gonna be real helpful against Drum, or Soulbanisher...or anything in a TT. Be thankful for what you got. I've gotten kicked from TT squads so many times, because people kept telling me, "Oh, you're just a Wizard, and we have an Archer now".

    ...mk, that's my QQ for the day.

    Yeah, it's me. Don't read to much into it, though; I'm only here for myself now, killin' time and chillin' when need-be. So sue me. Tch...

    The only necessary classes for TT are barb cleric and veno, BMs arent exactly in high demand either. If you're the subber then you get higher priority
    idk why soloing boss/mini boss is so important unless you're farming it
    Then don't solo grind, archers are always in high demand for zhen
    Then dont buy hp/mp charms, I live off flourish orbs to save money while I grind

    solo grind for the most part sucks, less profit/hour and xp bar goes up too slow, the choice of mobs to grind on at 90s for archer solo is just sad, pair with a cleric theres some decent stuff you can do and cube/rebirth/farming are good but not for everyone

    Someone mentioned rebirth. I've heard people on WC looking for rebirth squads, I have a ton of those duty badges in my bank, yet I'm still unsure as to what rebirth is, is there a guide anywhere (yes im too lazy to look)
    The only way to win is to quit. b:bye

    It's not like I want money for the money or rare mounts or luxury items.
    As Mosz said, solo grind will be slow, when you need millions of exp to lvl and killing normal mobs for hundreds of exp each. To level effectively, you will need to RB or to zhen, and that requires charms and good equips for archers, especially citrines for the 3vit kind.
    Both are essentials and both are not cheap. Currently, I'm getting 80k-100k / hr from DQ from solo grind, minus repairs and misc costs.
    So do you high lvl archers and wizzys have a lower lvl herc veno to farm TT to fund your main, or it doesn't add up for me.

    1) it would be nice to know your lvl so we can give proper advice :)
    2)join a faction that doesnt **** you over
    3)you think we have a hard time making money? look at the barbsb:shocked
    4)STFU about venos being good money makers. you need to lvl it to 70 to mass farm the **** TTs. they dont mke much more money than archer if it wasnt for that.
    5)*keeping open for further updates*

    EDIT: WTF **** isnt censoured ~.^
