    LOL why u showing off your noobness..

    Clearly you never had over 10mil coins on you, AND you just plain noob


    when you have 10mil+ coins you can go to the banker, take the quest, he will take 10mil coins out of you turn them into a bank note, if you have 10 of those you can make into a 100mil notes, and you can stack those. you can sell them at any npc to get your money back.

    ROFL you made my day XD so boring at work

    rofl. Considering the fact that i've sold SoF and PF enough to make upwards of 64 mil. I can say I know both of the banker and tokens. But most people only know of the tokens, so I don't bother mentioning the banker.

    Also thanks for the info of the 100mil note. Never seen one of them in the game be4 though, so :P

    The 20m coin is just if i find an amazing deal.

    Given that many events items run upward of 50m+, you may want to rethink your strategy. If you haven't been in the "omg i bought scroll of tome for 40m" scenario, you're seriously missing out b:laugh

    Wonder if the OP ever found out the max you can have on a single character is 2,200,000,000 b:question

    I don't keep much coins so not a problem for me.

    Update:
    3810 Tigers
    968 Sunshines
    43 Corals
    3k Orbs
    135 boutique gold
    30 mil in coins.
    and a few other various things.

    Spent at least 1.5 Bil on weapon, reforging, and refines in the course of a month.
    Don't know if I'll ever get 10 bil if I keep spending.

    LOL just keep on trying to cover up your noobness, you said to to get 10mil notes you need 2 best luck tokens and that is TOO MUCH effort, and now you saying you knew it already. Most ppl actually know about banker. ROFL. You never had that much money anyway, SS or you just lieing, simple as that.

    Well, let me go ingame later today and take a Screen Shot of my guy wearing his Warsoul Helm that I bought for 20mil from a guy in Rad.

    Or how about I just take a Screen Shot of the TT80 Gold, 2 misty rings, +4 w/ 2 immac garnet TT80 fist in my bank. Or maybe i should show my Cape of Chieftaruen that i'm currently wearing.


    Seriously, all this stuff goes from 3-25 mil. So if you think I didn't make 64 mil, then explain how I got all this stuff when the only thing i've bought gold for in the past month is the 10 gold for a cerberus pet, and the gold I used to buy D.Orbs with.

    I've sold some Corals for 500k each. Only got 30 left now.

    Did a total of the stuff in my catshop right before server shut-down.

    2k Orbs? (About there.. They're on another character)
    3321 Battle Pet Packs (Gonna open them)
    805 + 2054 Sof and feathers
    3471 Packs (coral, tiger, sunshine)
    151M coins (probably more. Forgot to count the 10m notes in my shop)

    Spent close to 250m on stuff for own use since last update.

    Nothing crazy. Very crappy stuff.

    Event helm no shards +3
    tt90 plate, leggings, boots, gloves. mostly +3-4 with flawless cits
    nirvana axe +12 2 sockets with 1 drakeflame garnet
    love up and down tome
    mold cape (the one with +250 magic defense) with flawless cits +5
    2x lunar rings
    warsong belt
    cube necklace.

    Most of the stuff are +3-4.
    Typically tank build but lacking in HP since my refine sucks.

    As another Pack sale comes to an end I figure it's time to post an update. My girlfriend and I have basically combined our assets, so here's our total between the two of us:

    1209 Tiger Packs
    872 Sunshine Packs
    3772 SoF
    5355 Feathers
    930 Battle Packs

    Estimated total worth is about ~1.2 billion.

    We're ashamed, quite frankly, because RoidAbuse has over ~2.7 billion (and that's just the stuff I see in his shop), so he single-handedly more than doubles both of us combined. b:surrender

    Oh, and in case anybody is interested, my gear isn't anything particularly special: http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=fb59a2699210b22e

    :O well obviously every1 here had to have started out with a very good sum of money... I have 10g that ive made completely by grinding and buying gold through the gold trading... so tahts like 4m haha i could start merchanting that through the AH gold trading till i get a decent amount and maybe move to buying packs and setting up a cash shop (i presume thats every1s main source of income here), then see where that leads.... but really the amount of time it takes just to make 1k off of each gold is completely ridic. thats an extremely low profit margin, so you would think you could buy gold then sell it fast enough to make it semi-worth while, but thats completely wrong.

    I would say packs give nice boosts but they are periodic. I gain a consistent amount of money each day and I earn about the same amount over time.

    but the problem is... how? I thought i was clever making an equation where I just input the profit I want to make off of each gold and get the price at which to buy and sell gold to make that profit spat out. gotta use those awesome 7th algebra skillzz!

    but how could you possibly have a steady income? i see people who try to monopolize on mats, but there are so many B/S stores that buy cheaper than they sale that I wonder how many of them are ACTUALLY making any money

    If you look at how many packs they stock up, it becomes less periodic. And they can afford to restock everytime the packs are on sale, so that means they have bought more packs than they have sold.

    I'm trying to give advice for people who are beginning to merchant. If you sell packs during the sale and/or save after you don't make much money buying 50 compared to someone with 500. With that tactic you would start off pretty slow until you reach a suitable number of packs. What I'm saying is, while selling packs during the sale is decent money if you are poor, saving the day before removal won't bring large gains until 150mil+. It's good to have a mixture of constant money and large sums until you are so rich it becomes insignificant. But really even when it's pretty insignificant I still try to have consistent income.

    It's a really slow start with no money and only making money off cash shop sales. Sunshine packs were here for what 1 month? I put 200mil into packs today and the money I made the last month is 4x what I'll be making from packs.

    you still havent told me what your "consistent income" is :3 if you would prefer sending me a private message go ahead! you really make me want to know haha xD but I don't expect you to reveal all your secrets cuz the best way to make money is to do it your own way

    Go spend some of that coins! No point to stockpile inventory you can't sell quickly. The masses will only buy so much and anything extra is just useless coin sink. Just look at the old packs you guys still have... b:sweat

    I think I've already spent 2.7 billion and still got plenty left over to dominate the market... No need to stockpile billions and billions worth of inventory... b:surrender

    I have four markets that I had pretty exclusively and was making ~5mil/24hrs a while ago. They have slowly started to become popular to the point where I was only making 2mil/24hrs.
    I prefer not to tell you as the amount of people in my markets kills profit exponentially. Location of items are super important. Just think of what people need to do stuff in this game, find a way to get it cheaper than what is currently advertised and sell where they need it. Probably way too helpful, but I doubt many people will give this post a second thought.
