Don't let the avatar fool you, I have 0 characters lol. Returning player that wants to know what's the best way for a veno to make money nowadays? Rare pet farming is out of the question since I lack the channeling gear lol. Would farming fb19 for molds still be viable? Does the assassin/psychic fb drop any good molds? So yes, please help me out here D:

    The tideborn don't have an FB, just a boss in a non-instance cave which doesn't drop much at all. I'm afraid the best way to make money is grind and merchant.

    How depressing lol. Even worse that I've heard that hercs and nixes have drastically gone up in prices. Back to the good old golem, I suppose.

    Haha yeah it's rather unfortunate, actually. A herc, a phoenix, TT gold parts, and the such we're deleted in the process ><.

    How long is the 2x drops and spirit going for? Yeah it would definitely be a good idea to farm FB19 now, thanks.

    And of course, there's the lion mount, -6 channel gear (Though, I'm sure I gave that away to friends), and probably more I can't think of haha. Lol trust me, I tried my hardest >< but they said it's impossible after the 1 week mediation :( so it's a fresh start for me, I suppose.

    Ah yeah, I just noticed the thread with the stats difference^^ thanks. Glacial walkers we're released after I quit, could you tell me where to get them and what level they start at? Thanks :D. Thanks for the advice, I'll try that :).

    The Glacial Walker is around Wavebreaker Cliffs (north shore of main Tideborn island) and are level 19.
    Jesus Christ lol. What happened to them being 20m each D:<

    The price of gold, mostly due to anniversary packs. 300k+, with spikes over 500k.

    Price of gold shot up from about 100k to 300-400k due to a huge amount of coin being injected into the economy from Anniversary Packs. Battle Pet packs, being a cash shop item, went up accordingly. Try to avoid buying gold for pet packs when the price of gold shoots up due to Anniversary or Coral packs being for sale (Coral packs are currently on sale til the end of the month). And PWI has run several 30% sales and a couple 40% sales off the price of Battle Pet packs. The most recent one was over Christmas and let you buy a legendary pet for about 35m (one week after I'd spent 60m on one).
    It shouldn't be too hard to get at least a herc, I know I'll find a way :p.
    With that attitude, you'll succeed. Too many people QQ that it's too expensive and too hard, and don't even bother trying. There's no guarantee for success. But if you don't try, you're guaranteed to fail.

    So, is the Glacial Walker better than the Volcanic Magmite then? D:


    And, I'm in the same boat (well, in regards to starting fresh) as I lost ~400 SoF being pked and fighting back (well, I got a single attack in, turned slight pink, and died). I've got horrible luck. QQ Oh well, I suppose now is the best time to grind for cash. :O

    Yup, merchanting always seems to be the way to go :p

    the real thing u have to ask is:
    "what happens to frost,lunar,an gold price?"

    xD
    Lunar and frost doesnt drops mats. If u wanna a frost gear/weap u must hope that u get it from chests that u could receive completing at 85+ the chain of quests in FF, or lunar things buying some items that come from packs.
    The point is just this: PACKS.
    Atm they're called lucky corals, but we had those things from about 5-6 months (am I wrong?). U can find in those:
    tokens, rare mounts (?), lunar items to craft gears or weapons, some tomes (+45 vit/mag, love:up and down and so on) that u cant do atm in game with the old tome crafting system, and other things.
    Gold price in game is gone from 100,150k to a record of 550k, on HT (I know this, maybe gold price was higher).

    From the pve veno point of view, I've to tell u that tt mats price is gone down.
    U've to pray ppl to sell a golden spirit for 1.8mil.
    And with 2x drops, dust of stars are at about 400-500k. (Logic. U can drop 8 of them in a single run.)
    So, u can see that get herc is almost impossible. Some ppl, shopping and running tts with friends that do it just for helpin, is stll tryin to get it.
    I'll try to get a nix when I'll get all coins for my aquadash and refine for it.
    [And my herc is a gift, and I'm without pc atm.QQ]
    As u will see, if u wanna u can lvl up fast, in 3 months reach 90+, but with crappy gears *_*

    I am affraid you are giving incorrect information.....

    Lunar drops mats, all of them, and it is much easier to farm now than it used to be.

    Frost does not drop mats, instead it drops frost gear. Both green and gold.

    You actualy have a better change to get a gold drop from a FF run than to get it from a Anypack. And you can get green ones... unfortunatly there is no way, at the moment, to upgrade your green FF to gold FF).

    @Energize - Welcome back :) and next time you RageQuit, don't delete your characters... it is much easier to pick up where you left later on than to make a brand new one.
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    I've seen just past of frostcovered city items dropped in FF, or items from packs.
    Why ppl buy lunar things from anni packs/lucky corals and dont go to farm mats? :O

    Because, even though it is easier, it is still hard, and you pretty much need level 90+s to even remotely pull it off. Also, takes 2-3 hours at least to run. On top of that, you need 4 x TT99 gold mats per item, so you will also have to go farm TT99 to get the gold mats to make the lunar gear. So, it is much easier to stick with TT gear, and cheaper to just buy a pre-made weapon or rings.

    Now, Lunar armor/neck/belt are different, since, at least for now, you cannot get lunar armor/belt/neck from packs, so people have to farm for them.

    I know quite a few people that use Lunar gold/Epic gear that I made for them from mats they farmed.
