Hello all First post i look forward to your help. I am trying to earn Rank 8---Doing 5-10 of Fbs daily is exhausting me. I have read forums, and seen some stratgies described loosely-I would appreciate if someone who them selves have generated or 600m can offer a suggestion. I saw in one post that you should have 50m to start. I have saved that much please give me an investment strategy I not in a rush. you may pm me if you like.. thanks in advance for you post and help.

    This probably belongs in the Trade subforum. For me, I've managed to spend ~600m on gears over time. Can't say I've ever held more than 120m at any given point. The largest method for coin growth for me has been farming TT\Nirvana much more than merchanting. A few months of doing Nirvana every day and purchasing the uncanny\raps from the squads that want to do quick sales for the going price of the catshops outside Nirvana then reselling them at leisure for normal prices should get you to your 600m. It takes time, and control of your spending b:cry but it can be done through this method.
    I've always felt its important to NOT cheat your squads, give them highest going price of all the catshops if they are looking for quicksale.

    Buying Wraith Officer's Badges or doing TT for money to buy them seems to be the way to go.

    Doing FB's for rep isn't such a good idea if you need 200k of it.

    Edit: I'm a bit lost here, is this thread about the best way of getting rep or money? lol

    1) Wait till the 2nd anniversary comes
    2) See if any good sales start
    3) Buy those and sell in a catshop
    4) Profit

    PWi will release Anniversary Packs that will contect items to possibly help get Rank IX.

    The anniversary is next month.

    The 2 represents the second year.

    Packs is a gambling game but can pay off if you get lucky.

    Getting all rep through fb's and one-man armies, etc for 200k rep is inefficient and will take you years....

    Best way to get the rep (as already mentioned) = Wraith Officer Badges (25 rep a badge)

    Now...

    8 Tokens = 1 badge

    ^ You can do the math from there...


    For $$ the easiest is through HH or some good merchanting of herbs, event items, tokens (meh imo but many do it), etc.


    Word of Wisdom: Start buying tokens and buy what you can and when you can. DO NOT turn the tokens into Rep until you have all you need for Rank 8 (you can easily get Rank 5 without using tokens)....I say this because you never know what might happen with packs, rep gaining, etc...

    You are 7x = you have time ;)

    You could also get a squad together and start farming trophy mode 89 Eden (probably the easiest of the 90+ tms). It's really not that hard if everyone knows what they're doing and everyone can get rep from it or you can keep the rep for yourself.

    Being a low LVL DD makes it hard to get good drops-what TT run yeilds the best returns for the duration and cost in repairs.

    The faction based one. Where your in a good faction and all the procedes go to you to help you get your gear.

    Mind you, good luck getting that help if yuo are using that for IX.

    Yes its pretty tough to get people to want to help without benefiting themselves. Or just running endless TT takes hours most dont want to do it

    Bump..It seems that so little money can be mad on packs--what with gold fees and no TW pay plus nothing really exciting in packs, why would anyone buy them
