HOW THE HECK DO WIZZIES MAKE MONEY?

I'm trying to save money by:
making hp/mana powders
increased my inv and selling everything mobs drop
only buying spells/skills that I need
and a few other things.

Well, mistake number one is even using pots....stop

Replace MP pots with Glacial Embrace and HP pots with Morning Dew. Youll have to med, but youll only be slightly slower than if you were using pots and save tons of money

Find a mob near your level that drops materials and farm it. It will most likely drop good DQs too. Farm any mats near the mobs and dedicate some time to sell them at a reasonable but profitable price

Avoid getting hit, otherwise youll have to use Morning Dew constantly, and that means you kill less mobs per meditation, which means slower kills and less money. Only mobs who should be hitting you should be increased life and increased movement speed mobs and the ocasional lucky schmock

Dont do One Man Army quests unless the NPC who gives you the quest is near the mobs you are farming. Otherwise, youll be wasting lots of time going back and forth when you could be killing mobs and making more money. Once you have a mount or fast flying gear, then you should start doing One Man Army quests

It might take you a few days, but youll be making some pretty good coin. You might also want to stop leveling for a while by transfering exp to your genie. The reason I tell you this is because if you level, drop rates go down, and thus you get less drops and this means less money. That being said, no reason to transfer all your exp to the genie, just give it enough so you can farm for a good while

Lastly, keep in mind that higher level mobs drop higher level DQ items, which sell for more money. So I suggest you prioritize a bit on what you really really need now (Armor, wep, etc), get to a higher level, and as you go buy the less indispensable items that you want (Fashion, faster aerogear)

PS: Better weapon > Better armor

Do what i did...

1:Farm mats find a good route that has all four types and with the maximum number of mats plus it should be timed that mat will appear just about the time u run on top of it.
2:The best mobs u can kill by that i mean Water mobs ofcourse nothing beats grinding+farming DragonMaids for DQs they give ALOT of DQs almost one DQ per mob that and u can 2 shoot them easy with a SS+SR combo.
3:Start a biz...I got in the ult sub biz buying low selling high after i made some descent cash with farming but when they put Anni packs back my biz went kaboom and now am poor again

Wizard? Money? nah not goes well together unless teamed with Cleric for DQ of 61+ then money is awesome.b:victory

b:sad
lol
me has the answer for you....
stop wasting your monies~! b:infuriated
why are you even buying health pots??? (>.<)'
and you don't need wheel of fate~! (X_x)'
me went to level 65 using that one level 48 quest weapon from jewelscalen. b:angry

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad idea is straight up bad b:surrender

You make more money and the game is just better at higher levels (for mages at least). If you really really want to make money more than level, then get to ~70 & start farming rebirth gamma. 1 run a day = 500k+ coins & by level 85 you can stop leveling & just raise genies; but don't feed exp to genies before then b:shocked.

Check out the rebirth guide I wrote up in the Dungeons & Tactics section, That setup is particularly sweet because 1 bronze HP charm (+100 sesame pots) will last you roughly 5-8 complete rebirths (approx 2.5-5mil profits).

Use apo powders! ( this is for my wizard alt btw )

I carry Mana + 50 powders all the time. They keep me from meditating while grinding ( well sometimes i meditate but takes me no longer then 30 seconds )

Also if you buy the herbs for some coins on a cat-shop you will get a excellent coin to mana ratio. When grinding mobs i start out to find the best macro for the mob so that they won't hit me. Then after getting chi up i use wellspring quaff to max mana. I meditate till full, then start to grind. When mana gets to 50% then i pop on my powder for 10 minutes non stop grinding without pot use. Use Morning dew when you are at lower then 50% hp to max it's HP to mana ratio.

I personally don't like grinding on water mobs. While they do give a nice exp boost i just hate that i can't kite if needed or meditate when i want. at www.pwdatabase.com you can see who drops the much needed Rough Fur, Concentrated glue and Purified oil. Those mats sell for 6.5K easy and one a hour grind on those i usually get 10 of one type.

Hope this helps ^^
