Money's always a problem. How do you get yours?

For me money in game is a big issue. b:cry Though I had 24m (got a good item in tiger packs ) but I was wondering how do u earn money? (without spending real life cash lol). I used to do farming but now the mats are so cheap i only make 100k per hour. I just do grinding. Whats yours? (can share some ideas here).

Farming (my way to earn money)
I usually go north of etherblade and farm lvl 60+ mats.
Then sell em for 1.5k each [it was around 2k but dropped]


so what do u do? b:pleased

- i know there was a guide to save money in pwi but was curios how do you earn YOUR money -

oh and any advice for me?

My best advice: get a low lvl alt and do nothing but farm a bunch of herbs & low lvl mats.
Catshop over night until you save up 1.2-1.5mill then start the buy low sell for 10-20% profit catshop.

Keep amassing more coin until you start trading higher cost items and selling TT mats.





...or you can just cashshop.

I've spent some money here $330 to be exact. $60 for two factions I made before. Then the rest, I used to circulate it around.

But when I didn't spend yet, I still had 12m from just predicting the market. Gold Trading on the Auctioneer was my gig. Predicting when the gold will rise and fall, then just do the rest.
No need to move around, just knowing when then gold will be around 350k-ish and when it will rise to 450k-ish. Although, now I think its impossible, since gold is at a steady low.

Also you're a barb you get first picks up to TT3-1 so that is a good way too, only takes some time.

i hear that from DD's all the time. they must think im made of money the amount of TT runs I've done.. but I'm really not. When I tank TT there is of course the obvious high repair bills.. but on top of that is the amount of mana potions I use. Not sure about other barbs, but this barb uses around 100 mana pots when not squaded with a cleric that has demon IHB. Why so many you ask?
1.. many squads don't do their jobs at all. Ive had veno's qq about mana charm when i ask them to use amp >.> this results in a much longer than necessary run. Genie stamina gets ***** here too (tangling mire spam) >.<
2.. for the squads that do do their job with damage, I have to constantly ream at each cool down so I keep aggro. That means, especially in the absence of a veno that will actually shoot me spark, I have to spam my other skills to keep chi up - axes and pole hammer attack rates don't fully cut it for building the chi necessary.

so an average TT run nets me around 120k after repairs and pots (moreso if you count genie chi usage). TT mats are practically dirt cheap right now - with some of them you cant even give away. One mat I can count on selling for 3-400k is dust of stars. Yet that really only nets me like 180-280k profit if I don't feed my genie. Now take a veno on a squad mode run and their cost is... maybe 10-20k. They don't need pots, charms, anything. I'd say next cheapest is probably archers... don't need pots or charms in order to afk shoot a boss after STA. Repair cost minimal, biggest expense is a whopping 2 coins per arrow/bolt/or shot used. correct me if im wrong here, but i doubt archers are using 60k arrows per run. so when an archer or veno is highest DD and gets a mat that sells for 300k, they make more profit than this barb does b:surrender

My lunar claw build makes me a ton of money.

Getting an automatic top 5 spot in the celestial tiger event means sometime I don't have to worry about charms for the weekend. I get more nirvana squads. More orbs in city of abominations. In TT runs having a tank with good DPS means you can take less people, less people to split coins with. So most of my money comes from TT and Nirvana, and I also make money off the weekly events like celestial tiger.
