Best Way for a Cleric to Make Money?

KangLin - Lost City

Outside of abusing gold for coins, what do you all think is the best way for a cleric to make money?

Dunixi - Lost City

I'm currently about to buy a shop license to sell DQ items to the lower lvls
also whenever I see dead players lying about I just revive them, some of them are kind enough to offer you some compensation

Now for serious...lol

I do not know your level but there are many ways to make money in this game. One of the easiest ways is to farm herbs and mats and sell. You cannot fail there b:cute

Questing and BHing. People tend to skip questing because it's boring or whatever, but the reward usually includes some money, sometimes almost as much or more than the experience you get.

MystiMonk - Sanctuary

I could use some more suggestions on this as my Cleric is very poor atm other than farm dq items around Sanctuary.I would like to go up to the hashlands but you do have to be carefull of the mobs to get decent mats.

Ewen - Harshlands

I kinda have a problem with this too.. So far after doing a bit searching and tests in game I found out some ways to make money, tested them and made my conclusions which you are about to hear.

1) Gathering herbs/mats
This is simple. You fly around or ride on your mount to gather materials and herbs to sell. You wont loose any money by doing this, but it can be slow, boring and challenging since there are also other mat pickers.

My +'es:
+ No costs
+ Its easy
+ You can do something else (for example surf in the internet) while doing this.

My -'es:
- Boringness
- Other pickers
- Slow way to make money?

2) Farming DQ mats, hays, fruits, fungus and whatever
Here you simply kill mobs to get coins and items. This is also boring, but mostly you should do this while you're questing (allthough I stopped questing at lvl 70 myself due to lack of time, but restarted doing them a while ago). With the -20% (which is maybe coming live in the next patch) on DQ item prices, pot costs (meditating is prefered) and gear repairs this way of making money can also be pretty slow.

My+'es:
+ Not as boring as mat collecting
+ You also get exp
+ There aren't so many ks'ers

My -'es:
- Costs (gear repairs, possibly pots..)
- Can be rather slow way of making money

3) Farming TT for the mats
This is also pretty simple.. You need to gather a squad for TT runs, whichever diffuculty setting fits you the best and try to get mats from the bosses. These runs usually take rather long time (1-3 hours or so) and you don't always get so many mats out from the runs. Sometimes its also hard to find a squad.

My +'es:
+ You can actually get mats to make your own gear by yourself
+ It can be fun with a good squad
+ You actually need some skills for this

My -'es:
- You need a squad, which can be hard to find
- Randomness. Sometimes you don't get so many mats, which is rather annoying.
- The costs.. Pots, maybe a charm and repairs are needed.
- Some of the bosses are hard and your change to die is quite big with a not so good squad
- Finding the time for 1-3 hours run

4) Reselling
Buy cheap items and sell them for more expensive price. This is probably the hardest and most random way of making money. Sometimes you succes and make quick coins and sometimes you don't. You also need quite a bit luck to succes in the long run.

My +'es:
+ Fast money if succesful

My -'es:
- You need to know the prices and the market quite well, so you don't try to sell an item for a week to get 100k profit. This makes reselling quite hard.
- Randomness, you never know what really happens..
- You need luck, which I personally don't really like..

I think this is pretty much all I know about making money in pw.. Of course charging zen is one possibility, but I myself have chosen not to do so. If someone knows other ways which are effective, please let me know too. b:cute

Oh.. Also try to save on everything that you can. Don't buy things which aren't necessary. Also if you really want to make money and only money, forget about using hyper exp in FC, doing BHs after 80 and PKing, since you can get your gear shattered when you need to repair your gear by using mirages or even loose pieces of your gear if you're unlucky.

Hopefully this wasn't tl;dr post.. b:chuckle

Bollocks - Raging Tide

I started out with herb and mats farming. Allot of people stick with only herbs or only mats, cause of the lack of inventory space. But every coal mine, sandstone min, etc, you fly over is money.

Made Jade Powders and Soothing Orbs (mana apo) from herbs. Sold the mats and the herbs I didn't need. When I had a fair amount of those pots, I started using those for TT runs. This way every piece of TT mat I picked was pure profit, cause I didn't spend a single coin on mana pots.

Then anni packs came...again, I snapped. Charged Zhen, bought packs, got nice goodies. Sold the tokens.. Bought a bunch of tokens at a low price, selling them now at a higher price b:surrender

There are too many people trying to make money off mats and too few farming spots. Nobody grinds anymore. AOE grinding is probably your best option for money.Gather 15 or so poison mobs and hit them with tempest and lots of razor feathers. You're armor will hardly be dented at all as poison mobs don't seem to damage armor as much. You'll never need a charm or pots to reduce costs more. And your kill rate becomes fast and so does your money inflow.

Euphy - Dreamweaver

This: tox-tanking. As described above. I didn't really start till level 85... but I made a lot of coin and even reputation doing so. Some cleric doesn't seem to be aware of the fact that they can tank 10-15 of any magical opponent...

... negative effects: if you're getting hit with outright damage and not a Damage-over-Time debuff you'll have to repair your armor.

Qlngfu - Archosaur

basicly.. i did my TB quests wich gave me a nice 2 mill, i used that to buy tokens at 10k. sold the last a few weeks ago for 20k..

ended up with 4 mill wich i used to buy hypers with at the sale (350k each) sold the last a few days ago for 430k (4.73mill)

besides that i mostly live in TT, but its hard to find buyers so i end up underpricing my stuff

so yea.. got like 12mill coins and 20% of my TT90 gear ready.

so i think the best ways to make money is too look at the gold market and buy CS items for cheap and resell for profit when sales end. and another way is to farm expensive TT mats. a friend recommended me to try find a good fist/axe bm or archer and farm 2-3 solo for forshura drops, its like 1 drop on average for a 30min run and they easily sell for 900k on my server (planing to sell for 800k and see it get ripped out of AHb:dirty)

Having just rolled my Cleric[lvl14], i'm suprised that i have well over 50k in my bag, all simply from collecting every last mob drop since lvl1.

I can't belive how many newb players i see just leaving their coin drops, it may be 5 Coin, but it's 5 more than you had before.

Any mat's i get, that i know i don't need, or know i can easilly get later on in the game i sell.

if only Money Managment IRL was as easy...

lordtian1

how do you have 50k gold? I just made char yesterday and am currently level 14 as well. If I didn't spend any money on upgrading skills, I think I'd still only have 30k coin. Did you like sell all the 800gold materials you found or something? Cuz im collecting them hoping to upgrade my bank...

That's the best way to go. When questing, PICK UP ALL DROPS U CAN HOLD. Then when you go back to town, sell them. By the time my characters get to 19, they have almost 150k.
And lmao at the RL money management X3

Raviste - Heavens Tear

When you get to high 9x, find a good perma squad for TT3-2/3-3 and do saved runs over and over again. Make sure they're money runs. Profits are extremely good with a decent squad and a little bit of luck (even better if you're doing this during 2x events).

Nirvana yields pretty nice profits too. b:cute

Rillien - Heavens Tear

All the things people have said are helpful, but just know that you'll always be in demand for instance runs and usually get a quite decent pick of materials.

If you can convince a veno with herc to take you a long, 2 or 3 man the runs [veno, archer, cleric works nicely cuz you get the sharpened tooth arrow debuff on bosses and you are there to emergency/AOE heal]. You will all get lots of money from drops.

Solo everything you can for quests, sell all mat drops that you do not need. Rough furs/leathers and any glues sell particularly well.

Do not use charms.

Even if you don't merchant beyond selling your drops, you should always have enough money to afford what you need. If you want luxury, start merching.

Yup, because i know i can get them easily enough later on (say lvl 20) I dnt need to expand my bank just yet, all i keep in there is Human stones, Blood Stones, etc...

Lots of good advice in this thread. I personally would emphasize learning how to aoe grind poison mobs. I started on the level 72 orchid petalis, and it was kind of rough going. But the time you get to the level 85 malicious cadevils, though, you should have better gear and a better sense of what you're doing.

The first few times I tried it, I died and got frustrated. I stuck with it, and am now able to gather up 40-50 of the 96 Lethal Araneid Something Somethings and use hyper stones on them. Good times b:victory
