Saw it so many times and tried it myself...

Was most probably very true few months ago when gold was cheap but what about it now?

Veno doesn't make fast cash, veno with a Herc does...
Now what is the average price of an Herc?

Current rate is around 7-8k per feather/SOP (if lucky) that makes a Herc at around 70-80 millions coins (without using gold)......

So basically to start "been rich" as stated on some threads, you need to first gather 70-80 millions coins, then spend them all, then grind some more to get rich....

But but but....
If i have 80 millions, I am rich already, am I not?

No no no, u need to spend them to be rich....

Seen a dog chasing it's own tail anyone? b:surrenderb:surrender

Am currently at 25 millions... Don't think i will ever see a Herc lol

    ...Or you could quit being lazy and QQing and use a Golem to farm TT for your cash just like the venos in my guild do.

    every class has its QQ threads and some of them like this one are just ridiculous. reading this is like reading a bms QQ thread about how they will no longer be needed when assassins come out. if you QQ over your race do yourself and the forum a favor and just reroll a different class b:victory

    Just like you don't need charms to play this game, you as a veno don't necessarily need a Herc.

    Why do you think you can tame the magmites for free?

    Some ppl on those forums, as always,are very fast at using QQ in a sentence and at softly flaming people down without even understanding the post it seems :)

    What about sarcasm maybe and stating a fact that somehow is kind of funny...

    Also about informing other new players... Look into other threads, some players are still advising to make a veno for new players in order to make cash....

    But it is apparently pointless to even start a discussion thread of those forums as the only discussion possible is about QQ'ing....

    And I agree you do not need a Herc, was only stating a strange fact

    Over and out, learn to read before you post !!

    Some people on these forums seem to misunderstand that complaining about the price of hercs and how they fail at making money constitutes "discussion."

    What were we supposed to discuss in this thread?

    Let's break it down.

    1. You say that venos are claimed to be the best way to get rich.

    2. You then complain at how expensive Hercs are and claim you need one to get rich in the first place.

    3. You then complain that you will never see a Herc.

    So firstly, yes that was a QQ post.
    Secondly, what is there for us to discuss besides remind you that magmites are free?

    1-WRONG: title says Myth Buster, so you go look at the thread little below from new player asking how he can be rich and you count how many ppl answered make a veno (straight into the Myth again).

    2-Wrong again, stated, Myth used to be true but not anymore, then give few datas to explain why it is not...

    3- True: 1 sentence yes can be interpreted as QQ ing i agree :)

    But the myth isn't busted because a veno can get just as rich using a magmite.


    Are you on drugs or something?

    Make a veno to get rich is a myth tho, if a veno with Herc is what makes you rich, then a veno with a magmite is around the same as any other chara....

    So any chara can get to 80 mils...

    So can every other class....... Its called merchandizing.

    If you look for other ways besides buying low/selling high:

    1. Every other class, with the exception of barbs, can AOE farm faster for more drops/money than venos can
    2. Barbs can make far more in a TT run with a full party, when you take into account time it takes to do the run, since they will always have 1st or 2nd pick (depends if subber gets first pick or just extra mirages)
    3. Clerics can do almost as good in a TT run, since they get 2nd or 3rd pick (depends if subber gets first pick or just extra mirages)
    4. If subber gets first pick, than any class can make nice money in TT, if they sub.

    Biggest advantage of the veno is just that they can do most things alone, if they choose to. The disadvantage is that they are much slower at it, when they choose do it alone.

    You have to be kidding me.

    NO OTHER CLASS CAN FARM TT SOLO. PERIOD.

    Venomancer is the only class that has that option, and thus is the only class that can make that kind of money feasibly. Yes, all classes can do it, but these classes have to pay for repair bills, split drops, etc.


    The only thing "busted" here was my faith in humanity.


    EDIT: Jazmin, anyone who says any other class can make as much as a veno does farming TT solo by grinding or collecting mats is wrong, period. TT mats can go for millions. Grind drops or mats can't.

    With an equal time investment, any non-fail veno will come out on top.

    LMAO.... You telling me that a barb in a full squad will be worse off than a veno soloing a TT run?
    Uh, no.

    You really should lay off the oracles if you really believe a veno soloing with a magnite can do better than a barb or cleric can with a full squad....

    Venos can do more runs than a full squad(because they don't have to wait on AFKs, etc.), and they don't have to split drops. I don't get what your point is.

    Divvying loot 6 ways vs 1 person takes all. Even if you can choose the most expensive for yourself, that's still just one good drop per run.

    b:chuckle ok veno with mag can do solo TT, correct. usub/subs for each run. the fact that one might end up with 0 mats on each run is also a norm. getting rich or not using a veno? thats just one's oppinion. Any other class who wish to prove using a veno to make easy 80mil? train one, there will be no argument there after. Any veno who thinks other class get money just as easy? train one!... i find it weird anyone has to be even discuss bout it, just train one of which u think is right and find out.

    Sounds great to me, I'm sick of arguing a stupid point anyway.

    Venos have to wait as well, since they cannot open squad mode by themselves, so they have to, somehow find 3 other people to open the TT for them.

    In the time a veno can solo TT, any half decent squad can run it at least 4 or 5 times. If you take into account that a veno cannot solo ALL the bosses, and some of the bosses they have to skip drop the mats that sell for the most money, than you see that a veno is not doing that hot.

    Take 2-3 for example. Full squad can do all the bosses. Veno has to skip anywhere from 3 to 4 bosses, depending on their gear.

    Golem venos are pretty much limited to soloing 1-x in squad mode, and they will have a heck of time killing all the bosses, since they will still be skipping the good drop bosses, like 1-3 drum (unless they have very good pdef), and soul for sure.

    You're honestly going to tell me that Barb/Cleric/DD/DD isn't better than Veno? Sure, a Veno can solo ANYTHING. But does that mean it's the most cost efficient? Not a chance. In the time it takes one Veno to solo something, a decent party could plow through it several times. Why is this? Simple. It requires 4 people to open the door. A Veno trying to solo has to gather 3 other people, as well as trying to let the instance reset. All a party of four has to do is disband, and once someone is outside, invite the rest of the party back. Boom. Clean instance. They've got 4 times the destructive power, as a barb can gather up clusters of mobs while the DDs AoE them. A Veno either has to pick one by one, or let the Herc tank a handful, which is a whole other set of problems to itself.

    However, in terms of grinding, which supposedly is another thing Veno's are "Best At" the only thing Venos come out ahead on (against other casters) is MP saving. Although, once a Wizard, or Cleric reaches 59, they can double spark, combined with their MP regeneration, to keep theirs up. Hell, they could even take the effort to get some MP regen gear, or tomes. I know someone with a +12 MP Regen Tome. There goes the "Veno Advantage". A good Wizard or Cleric barely gets hit, as well, so there goes the repair costs. Combine that with the very high DPS combined with variety of spells, and you've got a faster kill speed than a Veno, with the ability to grind for quite a long time. If you start to run out of MP, you simply use the MP pots you get as you grind, and you don't even have to go to town until your inventory is full, or your weapon breaks.

    So, no. Venos aren't the best money making class. They are the best SOLO money making class, yes, because of people's willingness to spend crazy amounts on TT Mats. But a party of people can make more profit at a Veno's own game, if only people understood the concept of working together.

    b:cute Your totally lying level 70 venos cannot tank squad mode 1-1 even ,don't say they can cause they can't with golem. I at level 92 could not tank the lion boss in 2-1 without help from another veno with a golem and I have a decent amount of channeling and I am a pure magic veno. Your argument side is toast.

    You can grind but so can every other class. Venos soloing TT most often refers to the solo mode TT when they have golem which costs alot of subs and rarely puts out enough to cover the subs. Now if this was a new server it would be different because there aren't alot of other mats in the market. However you can grind and make cash almost half as good as a TT run. b:surrender Making 800k in 2 hours isn't hard from grinding. Grinding mind you every class can do. Venos were money makers cause they didn't need repairs b:bye K bull****. I have played all the classes and it is just as hard with every class don't let anyone trick you otherwise.

    Now like the OP said then yah venos can make lots of cash but its about 80 million coins at least go ahead make that investment.

    I honestly don't understand why people complain about a nix and herc are so expensive. If you have a family, I can see. Feed your kids before you spend $200 on a pet. If you are not tied down instead of your fast food runs put that $7.00 per meal in s savings jar for a pet. Eat at home! It cost less...

    This is wrong. Every1 must repair their gear. It doesn't matter if you are hitted or not. If you casting spell you always have to repair your gear not just weapon.
