How I made my coin

Hi I have heard repeatedly questions of how to make coin as a free to play player and I just thought I'd give my 2 cents. Now I am not some godly player with 100s of millions, nor am I a 18hr a day player, or a player that has been playing forever. I've been playing about 7-8 months (with a 6-8 month break I took at 63 when I quit because I disliked my class and didn't want to continue), at lvl 63 I hated my BM I couldn't do ANYTHING without a cleric or tons of pots, so I started a veno and farmed hay of the antelopes by heaven's tear and sold them for 10k each in AH, with this process I made about 450-550k an hour. I took this coin and oracled my BM up to 80 then farmed equip good enough to FC with him. I FCed to 95 or so and got my decides/vambracers of the brute. Around this time I realized people were selling FCs for coin so me another BM and my wife (cleric) started 3 man squad runs and would sell the last 3 spots for 500k each + still getting our xp :). doing this I reached 99 fairly quick and saved a pretty penny. At 99 I stopped lvling and saved enough for my TT99 gold Ashura/Lionheart+Lunar cape. Once I hit 4aps (where I'm at now) I find I can duo FC with just my wife, granted this can take 1 1/2 hrs-2hrs >.< but it does mean that we pocket 1.25mil each off selling 5 spots :). Now with 80mil saved I plan on hitting 100 and continuing to sell FCs for my nirv legs to hit 5aps and then after raising my HP considerably (I'm kinda squishy >.<), I hope to try out duoing nirvana *crosses fingers*. Anyways not sure how much this will help anyone but wanted to show how I (a free to play player) has managed to, if not be among the elite of the elite, at least managed to build a char worth well over 300mil and still have a considerable bank in a reasonable span :).

    You... Basically... Just said nothing.

    Absolutely nothing.

    "I saved up". That's what you said.

    How?

    Can we now make seven member squads?

    I know my math isn't the best but could you explain this to me?

    He drops squad and starts clearing the next run while his wife sells the instance then they both split them money?

    Duo it until you get to exp room, have only one of them remain. Then you got 5 spots to sell.

    after the place it cleared the other person isn't needed? aka she drops and someone takes her place?

    Not possible unless you multiclient hardcore (which is bannable) and in every account you have AT LEAST one character which is 100.



    The only way it come to my mind atm to duo vana is to multiclient (2 ppl you and 2 your wife) and invite 2friends/random that will leave.

    Now you have 2 opions:

    1)duo nirvana just with BM and cler (good luck with that)
    2)duo multiclient nirvana with and arch/barb and a veno maybe

    With option2 you can keep the share between you and you wife but you still have the power of 4 player instead of just 2. Remember that being 5.0 is cool, but its not like your god...

    This is whats wrong with this whole post.

    I made a char specifically for grinding hay - a level 35 psychic geared to the eyeballs (2 fiends rings for eg) I grinded antelopes on the way to level 35, and since then have done the higher drop rate Abyssal Mysteries. They both drop one hay every 10-20 mobs. I dont believe you made what you said grinding in this way.

    Some time ago i did spiders for drops during 2 x and then could make 300-400/hr

    When i feel like a change i jump on the psychic still and grind for any dq i might sell. I also grind with my 86 herc veno. The drop rates only allow you to make 100-200k per hr these days.

    Um sry if this didn't help you or others >.<, I was just sharing what I did since so many people ask me what I did as a free player to get what I got. To whoever talked about their phychic farming for hay, I can't say for sure about psychic but I used a veno...maybe they kill faster? Also all of my hay farming days were during an extended double drop >.< now that I think of it lol. Also the coin amount was not JUST hay but DQs/rndm item drops as well. And to the person saying I'm one of the ones who ruined game 0.o, I dont understand...I lvled to 63 pure quests no BHs then quit game because only reason I started game was to play with my wife who was already 90...so yes I FCCed but I'm not competing with anyone...so how have I ruined game. I just wanted to play with my wife and FCC made that possible without her just killing everything in 1-shot when we played together. Now we have loads of fun questing and being silly...I dont see how I ruined game...but I'm not looking for arguement I'm sorry if what I did upsets you, I really am but it will never AFFECT you I promise, I'm strickly here to have fun ^_^.

    OH YA DING 100!!! hehe can't wait to die in nirvana!!! lol

    In the style of the OP.

    I was level 40 and poor, so I merchanted. Bought things cheap and resold higher. Lolz. I did this until 80 when I could FCC and FCCed to 100. Then got bored and merhcanted some more. I don't spend any of my coins just save up. I'm 100% F2P and is 10x.

    Hope you found this helpful.

    It's this completely worthless item that was once required to get anything in-game.
    Some people risk to employ me

    Some people live to destroy me

    Actually Nirvana is very easy to Duo.... i mean on 2x i soloed the hell out of it. all you have to do is pay ppl to use there keys to open for you i was paying like 100k per person so it was 500k to open Nirv then i would just either they leave or id kick them out of squad and i would kill all bosses by myself.
