well i want a legendary pet, i know there's lots of posts about this type of thing. but im wondering what ways people make money fast. (veno that is)

i herd that veno's are the best at making money so thats why i made one. then i soon found out there good in PvP as well, which is good for the server i play on.

so here's the idea i have so far

catch rare pets and sell them.
obviously grind my butt off and get drops.
buy things at low prices and try to resell.
grab all mats i see while i'm grinding as they pile up and sell for a nice chuck of cash.

now what i don't understand is being a higher lvl the key to getting more money, should i try to level as fast as i can now then worry about getting the money for a legendary pet later, or start now?

also should i quest, or grind, quests have reward's and exp but don't rly make money. while grinding is time consuming and boring but it has drops and gold.

well that's all i have so far let me know what you think thanks in advance.

    XD Ok, I'm in the same place as you- trying to make as much money as possible fast, but it's going kinda slow for me.

    Firstly, though, I don't think catching rare pets is worth your time right now. They spawn so rarely, and when they do you can guarentee that they will have a large welcoming party. That means a bunch of people going after it at the same time, and if it looks like you might get it someone may kill it out of spite. The time you waste waiting around for a rare pet will lose you a lot of money.

    I've heard that grinding is the best way to get money, as you get a lot of drops. At lvl 37 I make about 60k an hour after grinding (10k money drops, 50k NPCing DQ items). I've heard around lvl 56 or so you'll make 100k per hour grinding. So, grinding may be in your best interest, but quests aren't too bad. My suggestion- log in, pick up all the quests you can, then go grind grind grind the mobs you need and just keep going until you're about ready to get off, and then turn in the quests before you log off. That way you're not wasting a ton of time running back and forth turning things in for a little bit of money.

    And- you will make more money later on, yes, but you want to save every penny you get now and try to get as much as you can now. Remember, besides saving you have repairs, skills, and armor/weapons to get, so you will need as much as possible.

    Honestly, I don't know how these lvl 47's are getting hercs -_- I only have 2.5 mil right now, and we need what... like 20+mil? Bleeeeeeh.

    Good luck =)

    Ways to make money fast -

    - Grind Air Mobs for lots of DQ Items
    Suggested Mobs - Lv 60 Flying Foxies near Bamboo Village, Lv 72 Birds near Town of Sanctuary, Lv 82 Flying Bat Mobs north of Lost City on a huge cliff.
    (You get the most drops if your 1-2 levels above the mob so try not to level up fast by skipping Crazy Stone or whenever you got a full bar of exp, pump them into New Genies and resell Genies for $$$ )

    - FB / TT
    This is an option after you are Lv 70, Solo all the FBs and TTs that you can hoping for good drops/ Molds. Though you need to be patient and lucky to get away with a mold in an FB, Twilight Temple (TT) Instances are a good way of making money at around 70s. Some refuse to level and stay at 70s and solo TTs like mad till they make enough money to get a Legendary pet.

    - Farming Herbs and Minerals
    Well, this can be annoying not so worth it unless you have a very quick mount and the patience. It might work for you but its definitely not for me. I hate it when someone else steals my herbs/ Mat drops, kinda pisses me off. So yeah unless you got a good mount, dont even plan to harvest herbs / Mats, takes forever.


    These are the only three ways that I know of that let you make fast money. You could try selling DQ Items etc for players but that would take a long time and luck.

    I got a Herc by grinding at Lv60 Foxies for 1 Whole month, Made 30 Million or almost 1 Million a day and pumped the rest of my exp to a few Genies, Levelled them to 60 and sold them for 1m+ each. You could try that b:victory

    Dont waste your time waiting the respawn of rare pets for sell it on catshop.

    Grind flying mobs is better cuz they gives u more stuff, lv62 Vampiric nearby Dreaming Village they gives u more than 500k on a few time.

    Dont espend money at crazy stone quest, clothes, new skill, weapons, mats...... dont waste coins at anything until get your legendary pet.

    If u drop someting special dont waste time at catshop, AH is more interesting and u can grind while your stuff is auto-selling.

    Is easy obtain the legendary pet on a few weeks and after u will drop stuuf again while u lvl it to your current lv

    Good Luck

    They have more expenses than Wizards, and overfarming of FB's and TT's has killed any advantage they MAY have had. Many Veno's have coin simply because they level their pets maybe opposed to logging in just to do WQ,FB,CS and quests. As for PvP, do others spend nearly the same on their equips as Veno's do? Nix tends to cost over 20m, in addition to other equipments. They earned or bought any advantage they have over people with comparable other equips.

    What they mean is that each TT run gives you around 100k to 200k once you sell everything, not the SoF. That would be a ridiculous price to sell them. O.o

    Wizards don't have to feed pets, upgrade pet skills, buy pets (legendary), and don't have an alternate tree of skills. Just imagine how rich they'd be if they had to level pets each level. b:chuckle

    Fire

    Water

    Earth


    Looks like three trees to me.


    Mage Veno...

    Ironwood Scarab

    Venomous Scarab

    NG

    MB

    Looks like two main spells + 2 others on one tree.

    200k every 20 levels. Oh noes.

    And venos don't actually have to buy a legendary pet, that's completely optional.

    + no downtime


    BTW, wizards would be richer with pets...oh wait, then they'd be called Venomancers.

    on my server SoF costs like 3.25-3.5k each I wish it would cost 2-2.5k each. and they sell in the auction house for an absurd 8k each

    gold trade is difficult because sometimes you see 180k for 8silver

    my wizard eats my money
    my veno makes my money

    Veno skills cost is way less considering they only need to lvl 4 skills to grind effectivly. Exactly what i have done.. venom and ironwood are my only maxed nukes at this point.
    Dont have to have good gear cause the pet is taking dmg.
    Feeding pets costs next to nothing. I wouldnt even consider water part of the expensives. only a herc or nix need dropped food, by the time you get those you'll have a tome too.
    Can get by without having to lvl the pet skills. Two of my main pets i never lvled their skill, dont have a problem keeping threat either.


    Wizard needs their skills.. pretty much the magority of them are usefull to a wiz, needed, and expensive. Wizards need decent gear to be effective in the feild. They could skip skill lvls, have a not so good weapon.. but then they end up using more skills/mana to kill one thing. My wiz might not take dmg because of kite, but it sure sucks the mana dry.

    1-2 isn't profitable, on older servers, neither is 1-1, 1-3, or 2-1. Seaspray's are also a waste of time for coin.

    With wiz, there is no damage if the mobs are kept distant.

    Nickles and dimes add up.

    Depends on server for tomes.
    Wizard needs their skills.. pretty much the magority of them are usefull to a wiz, needed, and expensive.

    I can do without pyroshell, crown of flame, divine pyrogram, dragon's breath, ember storm, frost blade, black dragon strike, Hail Storm, Essential Sutra, pitfall, and mountain's seize. Checking just now, I use 5 skills on my wiz's default macro, and 4 on my veno's.
    Wizards need decent gear to be effective in the feild.

    Wizards can go untouched. Pet skills, and decent weapons make Venos more effective.
    My wiz might not take dmg because of kite, but it sure sucks the mana dry.

    Kiting rarely needs doing. You have Wall of Phoenix, Force of Will, and the ability to kill most mobs at your level before they reach you. I rarely even use Force of Will -could do without that too.

    On heavens tear, 1-2 is still profitable for me.
    Make 700k-1.5m per run which takes a little over 2 hours.
    I do drum, as i have a cleric with me, but not soulbanisher.
    You said you did 1-2 subbed, i hope you meant squad mode cuz your drops are appauling and sounds like you only did 1 maybe 2 bosses.

    If you have a Herc, you're better off doing squad mode. The pay off for single mode is spread out over multiple runs. You'll get really good drops one run, and maybe **** the next.

    1-2 may not be so bad as mentioned above, but prices are dropping on that stuff because a lot of venos farm it.

    I suspect prices for 1-2 are not so bad because most venos don't have the gumption and stubbornness to figure out how to pull Dimentora or kill Lord of Percussion solo. You can't just waltz in and kill them like Chintien. You have to come up with a strategy, which seems to be beyond the imagination of all those people who voted veno as most boring class.

    In My Opinion...

    I don't think TT is as lucrative, unless you personally need the MATs to craft.
    As someone stated that other Venos are doing the same thing now more frequently. So the market will flood with the items, driving the price down, 'cept in those CatShops that always run high.
    (To them I say, Good Luck with That...)

    Since at this level the quests are few and far between, you'll need to grind anyway. So do it with a vengence. It'll pay off.

    I find that when I grind I can make between 80k - 120k average per hour depending on MOB types. Cash and Prizes total.

    Now @ level 65, Foxwing Supremes will start to lighten up as will Taurox Enthusiasts.

    I am sure I will find an equivalent MOB for the next range...

    (Suggestions are Welcome...) =)

    Usually I am more concerned with the Exp amount rather than the Cash and Prizes. (That's a Bonus)
    I try to find the easiest to kill MOB with the best EXP over Time payout balance.

    I could kill higher level MOBs but they take longer so I won't get as much EXP over Time, and Lower Level MOBs do not provide enough EXP if any.

    Common sense and a little math will go a long way.
