I can't farm the gear I need, I've tried soloing TT, but the cost goes like this:
Cost of subs, Repairs (Charm, Maybe) Crabmeat/Herbs>Profit from TT drops.

Farming herbs was what I was doing, and I sell mine for much less than the competition (I like it when my store sells out in under 10 minutes) for around 100k/Hour, and it's not enough money for my time for me, due to me being dragged to FC, etc. So I stopped.

Here's the problem: I can't get any better gear than I already have, and every way I currently know of, (short of farming DQ drops) Isn't really working for me.

Is there anything else I can try to earn money?

I would also appreciate someone posting a PWI calc of what I should work for.
(One of R8 and non-R8 preferred please, i'm not sure I can farm it.)
b:thanks

    You're not going to like this answer but as you don't seem to be interested in merching, or soloing, keep to the bare minimums for a bit. Grind a bit on spiders up by FC every now and again or in VoTS if you have it open. Supply yourself with pots that you need for runs and hypers to get you to 100. From there you can probably get in some normal nirvana WC squads and begin turning a profit towards your gear.

    All things take patience for full F2P, just set up your game plan and grin n bear it for a short while. It'll do you better in the long run.
    I can see what you see not,
    Vision milky, then eyes rot.
    When you turn, they will be gone,
    Whispering their hidden song.
    Then you see what cannot be,
    Shadows move where light should be.
    Out of darkness, out of mind,
    Cast down into the Halls of the Blind.

    I paid for my hyper stones there from level 90 on with 1.43 aps back when a set of 5 was 2m roughly. Just takes some planning so you have a triple every time you need to purify. They have **** hp anyway so it's not as though you need to spark to kill them.

    Took a few weeks but I still came up with the 2m every few days that I needed it. Didn't have the 10 time cap back then though so it was safe to activate and pause in small segments to make a set last longer.

    Triple sparking every mob is what drove me crazy, and they do it constantly too so I can't stun them once and be fine until they're dead. They also tend to gang up on me...
    I'll look for a better spot tomorrow and try again. Maybe I was just unlucky and too impatient that day xD

    Haha well I suggest trying up by the big tree, there's a bit of a nice loop there to spread the little buggers out.

    If you're really really having trouble, may want to pop tidal on every now and again. Helps stop the DoT's from stacking to quickly. Big thing here is to be sure that you're constantly killing. You need that blood paint active to counter the DoTS and getting in close enough to have them melee once or twice before noticing you does a lot in between getting spark back.

    Due to the nature, it may 'feel' expensive but if you can only have to use the token mp which is like 30k for 50 pots it weigh's out very well cost wise. Say 50 mp pots every 2hr session/25:1 that's only 15k an hour that needs to be made back to break even since that's like 5.. dq's out of the hour you're there.

    I've spent hours and hours and hours grinding on the spiders and here's what I do:
    1. Buff Tidal Protection, not Focused Mind, as their physical attacks are weak and the real problem is the wood DoT.
    2. Whenever your HP falls to about half and/or you have a DoT on you with ticks of 500 or more damage, purify yourself with triple spark.
    3. If you use Shadow Jump or SHadow Teleport, the spider will most likely not use a DoT at all.

    Other than that, just use normal attacks for killing and Shadow Jump, Shadow Teleport, Windpush, Maze Steps and Holy Path for moving around.

    And personally, I got my Tidal Protection up to level 8 on like 78 or so because I leveled by soloing Vastclaw Executioner and it was better to do with Tidal than Focused Mind.
    I am Olba. Not Ol, not Baze nor Blaze. And even less would I go by Olblaze. Please, take a second to read a person's username.
    If you see b:cute be sure to take a second, calm look at anything I said.

    Personally I'm still grinding on them because they have low HP and low attack, so I can kill more and take less damage. The lowered droprate from being 3+ levels higher isn't really that much a factor since the mobs die so fast that the default droprate itself is kinda ridiculous.

    Best location, in terms of NPC accessibility would be right outside of Avalanche Village.

    Do note that the Lethal Araneid Sharpfangs are level 96 and their DoTs stack. But that's really the only thing to watch out for. Personally, I don't really need to use potions because I can heal sufficiently with Bloodpaint and triple sparking.
