    merchanting on an alt is by far the best way for me

    but farming herbs in heaven/hell its actually a nice way as well, i can rack up quite a few herbs in an hour or so there

    Nirvana.

    I'm too lazy to do math and hate selling heads to what might be noob players and not alts.

    I merchant my body in West Arch Shopping District.

    I'll admit business is a little slow. Perhaps that is why I am still poor.

    Merchanting.

    Amount of profit is largely dependant on the current / previous sales and the amount of available money though.

    Merchanting and grinding is what I do most, but another important part of my income is BH100s. I try to do at least two a day if not all three characters.

    Well, with me anyway, it's...



    just a jump to the left

    And then a step to the right

    With your hands on your hips

    You bring your knees in tight
    But it's the pelvic thrust
    That really drives you insane
    Let's do the Time Warp again

    I logged only for BH since 1/1/2012 and I decided to start making a statistic about my rewards. Till now ive done 12 BHs (always 2 at same time on dual client), ive not done BHs of today (yet). I got:

    3x Mirages
    1x Brainpower Orb
    2x Ecstasy Cards
    4x Socket Stones
    2x Excitement Cards

    --> 1,65m + 4m + 8m = 13,65m coins for BH reward within 3 days.
    (+ exp (also for BH1) + 160 Socket Stones).

    + the 5 subs for every BH1 and BH2 which i all sold for 20k each.
    + 1 Book from Aba which i sold for 6m in AH
    + alot of ****, maybe worth 1-2m, which i sold at npc


    --> ~22m within 3 days (and ive even not done BH on all my 100+ chars). Not that bad imho...

    At 2x drop ive done ~25x 99key quests for myself (and for friends, i'm always doing nv on 2 clients, like two of my friends).

    Ive 3 other characters which r 9x. I lvl them in next 1-2 months to 100. Then ill have again some more characters which collect nv keys every day.... Self-Powerleveling + account stash FTW b:victory

    And nope, ive only r8/HH99/nv gear refined +7 - +10 and weapons which r refined +10/11 - and not r9 gear lol

    That we can't tell you. Merchanting is business full of coins, tears, and mystery.

    No, wrong sir!

    It's

    Weapon Set 1 - UP, SQUARE, SQUARE, DOWN, LEFT, SQUARE, SQUARE, RIGHT
    Weapon Set 2 - UP, CIRCLE, CIRCLE, DOWN, LEFT, CIRCLE, CIRCLE, RIGHT
    Weapon Set 3 - UP, X, X, DOWN, LEFT, X, X, RIGHT
    Get $250000 - L1, R1, TRIANGLE, L1, R1, CIRCLE, L1, R1
    Restore Armor - L1, R1, CIRCLE, L1, R1, X, L1, R1
    Restore Health - L1, R1, X, L1, R1, SQUARE, L1, R1

    That should get you what you need, however you may need to spam the money one ^^.


    But in all seriousness, you should try out a bunch of different things, find out what works for you, read the market (if gold trading or item merchanting), and profit!

    I tt for in game coins. bh is also agood way for an easy income with ectasy/excitement cards. event is also an easy way to get an income.

    if i do farm herb its for tw pots that I use or pots for alts or im just bored,
    if i do nirvy its either 99 keys or tt isnt droping gold but i keep those raps/canies to use.
    merchanting is not my thing, i hate wc.
    If i do cash shop its for fashions
    is it call grinding if you kill mobs in tt and get dq? o.o'?
    my hubby only ff my alts. prolly once every month or less.
