    Some people claim to have bought R9 without cash shopping but thats only a mildly credible claim if you started this game when it first came out and merchanted and farmed well and play obsessively. For everyone else you have to pay.

    There is nothing archers farm well solo unless you count grinding on mobs.

    If you can get your aps up and get good fists/claws you can farm nirvana and the higher and more lucrative TT levels in squads, but not solo them. The amount of money you have to put into an archer to solo well defeats the logical purpose of farming for coin.

    You'll have to get coin the usual ways that all classes do:

    around 400K a day from BH100
    around 100K from OHT daily
    around 400K from Cube of fate.


    That last one bores me to tears after a few runs.

    You don't need to play obsessively. I've played this game since launch, but on and off, and the only thing I was ever obsessive about was PK and/or TW (which tends to make me lose money, not make money, LOL). I only merch when I actually want something. The only trick to it is to never spend all your money/assets when you decide it's time to break from PW so you're not completely broke if you come back. As long as you don't go completely broke, there is no need to farm or play obsessively at all.

    However, I don't think you have to start that early to do well in merchanting either. If you simply do your BHs and don't spend needlessly, you'll eventually get enough coin to enter the market for low price items like tokens and pstones. Then it's uphill from there.

    You do need to keep maybe 2 shops up at least at all times while you're actually merching though.

    Personally I don't care that much if people don't "believe" it's possible to merch r9 with pack item shards. The fewer people who think it's possible, the better business it is for me. I feel I'm being nice by telling others, but if it's not within their ability then...oh well. It's not my loss.

    The easiest ways to farm as an archer is to do BH100 and cube every day. Thats about 1.3m of coin for like 45-60 mins of work. If you are in an active guild with a base you can also participate in Trials and sell the mats you get from that. Archers are one of the best classes for that.

    Merchanting stuff will get you the rest of the way.

    As you gear up, continuously test the limits of stuff you can solo and seek out friends who are interested in farming as well.

    or you could just play T E R A, 15$ a month seems a lot better than 1500$ a month.

    what asterelle said.

    always test your limits
    thats how you ge the maximum fun out of all classes

    whenever i gear up one of my chars i have to test my gear limits again. that makes me look suicidal but once i got the feeling for it i can do more

    why get all the gear when ur not using it to the maximum

    i will never understand those full rank9 ppl who pull single mobs/bosses in bh

    even more off topic here:
    i so enjoy playing bm right now,
    figured i played my wiz like one all the time
    my suicidal archer is breeding now *rawr*

    A LOT of people have gotten R9...if you think it absolutely needs cash shopping...yeah in the sense that someone else had to buy gold to sell to you...

    If you just do dailies and cube...that's at least 1 gold. If you do the events, you can probably get a little more. Not all events even depend on gear (JR, DT). It really surprises me how many people complain about cash shoppers, yet how come every week the tiger event rankings is not even filled? People don't even do it for the BH?

    How come like less than 10 people show up to DT every week? At least from mon to wed you should be doing the event BH and DT if nothing else.

    In about a month you can probably have enough gold to start trading packs. Then you can add at least a gold a day from pack income. It goes up from there. That should get you started on gearing up or whatever.

    That about merchanted is not true, it is actually pretty easy to get money merchanting. just find something every1 needs. right now (since i have started on low capital) i am making like 90 mil a week as a merchant ( started with 7 mil, made 30 mil the first week).
    So basicly no, you can easily get up to ~ 50 mil in 3 weeks even with very low capital like lets say 200 k. The problem is for most ppl, they want to be poor. Ask them what they will do if u give them 20 mil. 85-90% of all ppl will say they will buy this and that. another 8 % will say, they will keep it and wait for something. The rest (2%-7 %) will invest it.

    Anyways, dont think being a merchant is easy. it is pvp just not like pvp where u kill each other.


    So basicly yes, even if you start a toon today you can get full rank 9 in only a few months without spending a buck on this game.

    And farming as Archer wont work so very well. You can't solo anything unless you already got a lot of money, and people will take other classes over an archer when they run stuff.
    Try to find a faction that actually runs **** and where 80% of the people either dont log on or are afk most of the day, and you will be good. Other than that do BHs and Cube, later on when you got your first decent gear parts you could offer plvl service or TM runs.

    HAH.

    Good luck with that. PWI's just basically a fancy pack opening program where you can set up a shop and go afk, then lose money.

    There is no "Farm."
    There is "Cashshop."

    You don't even have to merchant really. I've been playing on and off and have decent gears from just doing Dailies. Before high level dailies I just spent like an hour or two farming herbs before I got bored for the day and found an FCC Squad and played in there for a few hours. You can even probably try the events really and just do enough for the BH rewards. The events aren't always flooded with R9s like everyone thinks, I placed 3rd for BMs in yesterdays tiger event with scrubby +8 SD and know a Barb that places top 5 regularly with GVs lol. If you want a better cash flow than this try finding a squad of friends to run TT regularly. Majority of the players don't want to do this outside of 2x, can't find friends to open, and wont run without some crazy refined aps gears so you can make a decent profit running with a 3 man squad or something.

    EDIT: I also know a friend who made an alt account just to do the Goshiki quest chain repeatedly and makes a couple mil from that a week. Probably not the most effective way but whatever works for her I guess. So I guess you can make money off of almost anything in this game really, you just have to go out and do it.

    Getting in a launch helps a lot. It means you can buy stuff when gold was cheap and means your always at the top farming the top instances for mats to sell to newcomers and you always know more about prices and gear than newcomers. Its a big advantage. If you didn't farm obsessively then I will admit that people who started at launch and farmed and merched well without being obsessive could have farmed R9. But that's not a big change from my original statement.

    Eh? I CSed my r9 +12. However, I haven't CS'ed all that much since the 12 sale. I can make upwards of 100m a day farming if I am lucky and have nothing better do with my time.

    Did you think endgame gear was supposed to come easily and quickly if you don't CS? Getting in at launch means you've played for over 3 years.

    You've never gone against a poison/fire mob with no cleric in sight and double sparked for more damage? Poof! All those nasty things go away.
