    Merchanting and TT runs.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    No, I dont play the game anymore. Thats what I used to do when I played. Merchanting does not take a great deal of time. I used the AH, and never the catshop. I still made millions of coins easily.

    i think I understood what you said...

    Merchant is the only way I earn money. o_o
    Grinding is hardly worth it, aside from the XP/Spirit.
    I'm not going to tell you what to merchant, as that's a secret.
    But Lloyd is right, it's immensely easy to earn millions, just takes a ton of time. It can get frustrating at times to sell your merchandise, but it'd definitely get you some profit. The catshop does help when you can't stick your merchandise into AH, such as when selling Genies/Specific Mounts/Etc.

    right now at 50 you dont have to worry much about money (i strongly recommend you to skip the 50 supply stash till at least 70, cause at least in harshlands iron hammerss where 3m)once you reach late 6Xs early 7Xs collect some mid mats (anthracite, refined steel,etc) and sell them individually or make ulti subs. when you get enough for a cheap mount (polar bear panther) dedicate at least 1-2 hours per day to making mat runs. when you are going off to bed, leave your PC on(if it isnt noisy xD) and catshop, its better than to AH.

    A barb with money? WTH is that? lol

    There are several ways to make money and grinding isn't one of them. I don't want to give away our secrets to the whole world so just try a few different things and see what works best for you.

    A good start tho would be to gather herbs/mats to get you a money pool to do other things.

    Edit: Without investing a lot of time, basically barbs are just a money sink for cash shoppers.
    It's a game and I'm proud to be a stupid fail demon barb!

    Grind (grind in tiger mode and train ur altracity timing on mag mobs) and farm till u r 70+ then find good squad and do TTs. Since u r barb most of the parties will let u to pick mats first:D

    TT=easy coins:P

    Once u get like 80+ refuse to tank any BH/TT unless you get to book the most costly mat/moulder and skip wine + subs fee. Thats how many barbs do it and people hate them o/c but desperation over finding a tank makes people agree on the most ridiculous terms. All tho high lvl venos with Hercules kinda keeps messing it up for barbs that wanna blackmail the party b:chuckle.

    Besides that you can go solo aoe at Night Scream Island, use cleric alt outside party healing you so you don't waste charm + pots. Its pretty good money even tho barbs aoe skill kinda sucks compared to bms :/

    Grinding for barbs does make money. Just not as fast as other classes, since half of what you make you will spend on repairs.

    Best money with least effort though comes from farming and TT followed by Auctionhouse or Stall.
    When the going gets tough; Get a tank!

    Don't do this. Gives barbs a bad name and it's a good way to get blacklisted from a great deal of potential parties.

    I've never done it, and never intend on doing it. If I was on any of my alts and the barb even suggested it, he'd get kicked from squad.

    You also won't make many friends, so if being a jerkwad is the goal, that might lose you far more money than make you. I've only ever seen the suggestion from a barb that he get a pick before subber or get free pass on wine split twice, and both those times I kicked his **** outta the squad and found a more humble tiger. I would suggest this be done to any barb that does what your advice says. But overall, your entire post is full of nonsensical bs anyways.

    In TT, barbs should get 2nd pick, and for that, they get some of the best mats to offset repair/pot/genie costs, and get their own gear. If you can afford the charm or pots, solo zhenning is an option but not half as productive as a bm.

    +1 self-entitled jerkwads get kicked asap (sometimes have to wait till they have served their purpose) and blacklisted. good luck finding a barb that can solo TT. (I know a couple, and they aren't jerks about it) the entitled barbs are usually the ones who need extra babysitting and blame clerics for their own fails. "I have 9000 hp, and fleshream, free stoofs nao!"

    its been suggested before, and i've done it several times, were in a TT squad all the members by the mats out of the bank. (drop coins, auto divided six ways) the pick order is the same, but last to pick doesnt get screwed into taking a 100k mat where the barb/subber gets to take the 1M+ mat; and everyone leaves happy.

    Uhh as suggested before, TT runs and merching stuff. However for me, since I like to farm a lot, I sell BH69 and 79 mats. If you farm good and know the spots, you can make good money. Helps pays off skills and repairs for me.b:victory
