hello everyone.
Even tho the sticky guides are very good, no one mentioned the fun/fast enough way to gather some coins.
I needed to gather 650k to open the lvl50 supply stash (perfect iron hammer for opening lvl50 supply stash costs around 650k on my server).
so, i heard that venomancers are very good at gathering and saving money.
here it goes:
create a sub char (or even a main char) venomancer.
at lvl3 u will be able to use a pet,i would recomend to you that you choose the scorpion (good tanker + damage dealer)
As mentioned in some sticky guides here, pick up EVERY : item,coin,material,potion that the monster drops, there is no excuse not to becaouse u have a tanker pet that can protect you while you are picking them up.
DO NOT buy weapons,armor,potions or anything else(at least not under lvl25).You get weapons and armor from Quests at those lvls, and to be honest you wont even need armor if you play carefuly (i did it and i was attacked pretty rarely,only my pet was attacked)
as for the potions, well, i am pretty sure u wont need them, becouse i made 2 venomancers and lvled them to lvl21/23 , didnt buy potions even once.u get enough of them from monsters.
so, from this we see that you wont be spending much money, which is a big advantage.
Sell everything you dont need, items,materials(keep them if you think you can sell them to players for more money).As for the potions, well i dont know about you, but i sold almost every potion i got, didnt realy need them.
Also you will find that doing quests is good, becaouse u get celestones or celestone fragments as a reward, which can be traded at the gem merchant for a mirage celestone (you can sell it for 25k+)
As for the skills, well, you dont rly need much of them
take only Venomous scarab(max lvl),ironwood scarab(max lvl) -for attacking,and for the pet - heal pet, tame pet(lvl1 only),revive pet (lvl1 only).if you plan on keeping the venomancer u can upgrade the tame pet and even revive pet, but if you want to play a venomancer just to gather money, leave the skills as i told you.
At lvl17 be sure u go to the volcanic purgatory near Etherblade, and tame a crystalline magmite (the best pet for that lvl)
So, the main things you should know:
1)get a tanker/damage dealer pet at lvl3 (you will be able to choose, take scorpion)
2)pick up EVERY singe drop from the monster
3)DO NOT buy weapons/armor/potions under lvl25,it rly isnt necesary
4)SELL everything you dont need,including potions if you think you wont need them(you will see as you play and lvl up)
5)do not forget to get a better pet at lvl17 (crystalline magmite)
You can farm dragon quest materials, which are sold prety nicely,even the npc pays a good price for them.If you find a good spot for farming dq materials (dragon quest materials) stay there a bit, and farm them.If the spot is very good you can always stay there a few levels.You can stay at monsters lvl by geting a genie from the wather of the earth(find the guide on genies) and infuse exp to genie with your own exp, so u can farm some more.
I will give u my example of playin, as i mentioned,i needed to gather 650k for my main char to open the lvl50 supply stash.
I gathered 640 (only with picking up coins and selling what i dont need) on 1 venomancer for 2 days,+ i had the celestones/celestone fragments and the fb19 reward weapon which can be decomposed into 2 mirage celestones at the blacksmith (another ~50k).But thats just me, i am that kinda person "when i set up my goal,it has to be done".So i played a lot daily
I hope you find playin a venomancer is a good metod for gathering money.
If you ask me, there is no better way to gather money at lower lvls.
Enjoy :P


P.S. : Feel free to corect me, both on my metod of gathering gold and my english (aint the best writer on planet)

    I'm not doubting your English, mate. But if you are making a guide, make it visually accessible.

    Amiris posted a [thread=125991]money making guide[/thread] which sums up pretty much what you say, except it's not geared towards the Venomancer. The main difference, I'm sorry to say, is that it's actually readable.
