Okay, I know there are always tons of discussions about how to make money in game, but I will admit I'm terri-bad at it. I have no idea where to start, and only have 2m (hopefully 7m after I sell some things) to start off with. Any suggestions?

(AoE grinding is a possible, and so is merchanting i guess)

Thanks every1! b:victory

PS Yeah I know I'm helpless, but I just need a start.

    Yeah...pretty much just cash shop if you want coin fast. Other than that, merchanting for the next few weeks might get you to your goal.

    ASAP way :
    1. charge zen then trade gold for coins
    2. trade tons gold that you have saved for coins when needed

    There no ASAP way expect you were buying tons of gold when they were cheap.
    Saving them, lots of them if you can.
    When the gold price increase sell it if you need money, or if you just want to always have gold available.
    Gold is easier to change for coins rather than trade coins for gold, which why saving tons gold is important.
    Which mean ASAP 15m coins.

    There is no ASAP money other than those and illegal coin / gold seller but that not a good thing and the game company, developer, GM, mod, fellow player not support that decision.

    For the most part, don't think you can make 15 mill asap, unless you have loads of money before.

    As said before, merching can help, but will take time...

    Especially if the items you're selling are on a downward curve.

    Past two weeks, ult subs were selling like hotcakes. I couldn't get them fast enough, they were selling so quick. This week I can't sell a single one.

    The "fastest" would be to charge zen, then sell the gold in AH. The second "fastest" way would be to look for bargains, or farm the **** out of something then sell at as high of a price as you can.

    Merching can do wonders, but you need to have loads of money to merch well.

    Most hardcore merchants have a shop alt on another computer or laptop and buy and sell stuff while they can still enjoy the game.

    Personally, I hate merching with a passion, but it has done wonders for me. Just go out there, look into what you want to buy and sell, and soon you will be on your way.

    Just be smart and use common sense. :P

    lol people always make it sound soo easy :P I attempted to do gold trading, but making only 1k-5k profit per gold isn't very good, and with all the updates, gold prices have been fluctuating more than usual so its become pretty risky. I guess I need one piece of advise to get started merchanting... is it better to merchant say tokens or mats that are stackable, or mounts and fashion?

    Female fashion goes in-****ing-sanely quick. As do tokens.

    Again though, using only coin to purchase those items, you'll only turn a few grand profit after every sale. Farming mats for ult subs, then using those subs for farming TT is the only way you're going to be able to merchant anything for "free". That method requires an enormous amount of time and effort put into it though.

    Just start a buy/sell business, it can be from tokens, to herbs, to mats, to subs.

    Merching takes patience....which is why I hate it sooooo much. b:cry

    If I had a second computer to run an alt-shop 24/7, it wouldn't be so bad. If I focused cat shopping on this account though, I'd never get to play. :/

    TT to hell and back, use mysterious chips to get high end gold mats.


    Sell any and all TT mats in AH or catshop, and if you get Gold Mats AH only.

    lvl 96 spiders near avalanche village can be nice for grinding money. as for merchanting, probably do stuff like for expensive armors that is in high demand, such as cape of tauran, and could do fashion too.

    I've heard that white-name mobs have the best drop rates. That's usually +/- 2-3 levels.

    It is easy. Until other people figure out what you're doing and start copying it. That's why asking for advice on what to merch usually doesn't help. To "make money easy" by merchanting, you have to figure out by yourself something that works. The fewer people that are in your market, the easier it is.

    A good way to figure out stuff to sell is if you yourself are looking to buy something and are having a hard time finding it. I ran across an item like that last year. I checked pretty much all the cat shops and AH, but simply couldn't find it except for ridiculous asking prices. I did some thinking and it turned out to be pretty easy to buy for cheap at the right place. I just added it to my regular shop and it brought in an easy extra 1/4 to 1/2 million a day in profit for half a year until my shop computer started crashing.

    ^ Pretty much this.

    But I'm yet to find expensive stuff to sell that can give major income.

    Merchanting used to be much easier in the past, when not as many people did it. There's just so much competition these days, and obviously this lowers profits...

    Another problem with merchanting, you need money to make money...
