hmm wow fast replays thanks.. I will try.... I was making like 400k/hour on farming high mats in the past b:cry

I remember getting like 200k/hour at best. I know I could have made more if I had gotten something ftom Burning Heart; best place for high mats but way overfarmed.

I pray to Pan Gu, paint the walls in my basement with chicken blood while some sugary japanese pop music plays in the background, then I look up at the roof and realize it was left unpainted and I'm all out of blood. And then all of a sudden I'm filled with as much coins as I want.

At his level thats not really a good option.

Also after charms, repairs, pots and did i mention repairs... tw pay isn't all what ppl think it is. Some of the most broke people I know belong to the Enrage faction on HT. They Tw once or twice weekly at least and they are still broke. So either they put in more than they get out or their faction leader jips them on pay... (only speculating not accusing)!

With my VENO I picked up everything that dropped from mobs (coins and ammo too), sold everything I didn't need AFTER I had done all the bank quests. At lvl 35 I had 500k to spend. Note that I NPC'd the DQ items as I could rarely find anyone buying them. Hope it helps b:thanks

well an extra 500k a week helps me tremendously. but i guess if the OP wants TT gear with refines then i suggest he farm whatever for 16 hours. ugh so boring
then over price the items and try to sell

and i know rawrgh, that you make more money in an hour of TT than a week for TW b:chuckle but unfortanetly for me being a sin, i dont have it that easy

Not talking about making money, talking about spending it.

Lets say you get 1.5mil a week (you probably get less but lets be generous)

By the time you finally get to 89 I'm sure sins will have demon/sage skills, I'm sure they will be in crazy high demand and cost more than other classes but again being generous lets say they cost about as other classes skills. Today a friend of mine bought me a demon true form skill book for 3mil, which I've seen go for 5mil before. When I get internet back on wendsday I need to repay her, so 3mil for one skill, plus one mil to learn it. That's almost 3 weeks of TW pay for one skill. Not counting that you'll most likely use the majority of TW pay money to pay for the costs of the next TW, like a charm and event pots.



Also, my money doesn't come from TT anymore, it mostly comes from merchanting.

Sanctuary sounds awesome then lol, but you have to remember that Raging Tide is a new server. Not a lot of skill books around and thanks especially to hypers, a lot of people hitting 89. So basically high demand, low supply. I'm glad I got it at the price I did, last time I saw one for sale it was in the auction house at 2.5mil, I bid on it and came back around 6 hours later when it had 2 hours left on it. It was up to 5mil minimum bid at that point.


Anyways my point was how little that 1-2mil from TW pay is. If your next war is a cata walk and you don't need charm/event pots and you keep the full pay, you might be able to buy 2 immaculate shards.

sell youself in an all class pet box

Sounds like you could make a lot of money doing Eden and Brimstone bosses for books.

Depends, it takes some luck but yes, you can make decent money by doing your BH89. When I did my FB89 Eden for culti I was lucky enough to get a sage true form that I sold for a good amount.


I don't actively try to farm Eden/Brim for books but I do try to do BH89 Every time I get it.

You can not. Most books in there have become so common place b/c of bh's that they sell for literally nothing.

He's talking about Raging Tide server, where books are less common and in higher demand.

I have a regular squad of people. We tt every night pretty much. One person banks and sells all the mats. Then splits the money 6 ways. We also take money out for the subs so no one is out the cost. If you can find people who will be that good to you, thats the best way to farm tt and make money.

I perfer to run with 4 people unless we're doing Ancient Evil. I try to go with me, 1 cleric, and 2 good DDs. Can get a 2-3 run done in half an hour with good DDs and only have to split the coins 4 ways.

I didn't mean getting lucky with book drops. If those books are selling for 3-5 mil on your server, and ~300k on other older servers, that's a huge gap between supply and demand which hasn't equalized yet on your server.

That is, on the older servers, the ~300k represents a bit more than the average cost of the time, repairs, items consumed, and other costs (probably wine) to run Brimstone or Eden. So on the supply side, the books cost you ~300k each to acquire.

On the demand side, you say the books can sell for 3-5 mil. So assuming similar costs on the RT server, you've got a potential profit margin of about 2.7 mil per book conservatively. This is the first step to identifying a good market so you can make lots of money - finding a large gap between supply and demand.

It's like what happened with Astralwalker's Dust of Stars. Before, when not many people knew how to break his waves of adds, Dust commonly sold for 1.2-1.5 mil. Now that it's common knowledge, it goes for about 400-500k. The current price has stabilized to near what it costs you to acquire them. Whereas before there was a huge profit margin associated with being one of the few people doing/who knew how to do Astral.

if you won't farm your life away or start to spend real money, you will be with almost guaranty poor ( verry poor ). I would rather recommend you to check other upcoming mmorpgs or if you have really fun to farm mats, herbs, whatever 24/7, then have fun b:pleased

Umm.. this is a MMO. It's my first one, but from what I understand you need to farm in most of them. What makes this any different?

Just like people complaining about money... they can go spend 20-30 minutes a day, farm enough mats for their BH, make a squad, charge 40k per person, and everyone is happy and you make money. Sure it's not a lot, but you're not spending any money by doing this and it almost always guarantees that you can get a bh squad formed. It never mattered how much or little money I had, I always did this and almost never had to pay, just collect, and it kills two birds with one proverbial stone.

Unlike most other mats, Dust still sells though, but when you're farming 2-2 Astral, you're actually farming for Touch and the Dust is a nice bonus that can pay your costs to keep running it. I was really lucky, got two Touch in my last two runs.... lol. Also 2-3 just for Arm and Antenna is worthwhile if you can put 2-3 runs back to back. 3-1 mats are worthless except for GBA, and both shells... I'd only farm that if I needed those mats, or if you only have a veno and a DD since that is probably the easiest one to run without a cleric.

Well books don't always drop, and when they do drop they aren't always good ones.


Last 4 eden runs I've done only skill books I've seen is a demon gush, and there's like...... 1 demon mage on raging tide....... who doesn't even play anymore.


And some skills don't sell that well even if people need em, demon blazing/frost arrow don't sell very high.

That's also giving up easily. It's like saying you did a couple of TT runs and never saw gold so why bother? If some of the rarer books are hitting 3-4m ea it's worth it to run. You can also do card bosses in eden which drop OHT mats and have a chance to drop chrono pages... those must be worth $$$ on a new server.
