    I can't tell what level you are, but if you can get into Heaven/Hell grinding on mobs there while farming herbs n mats and then selling the herbs/mats can make you 1mil per hour give or take (including npcing dq n random drops etc)

    Merchanting is the best way to make coin in game.

    Grinding is the best way to afford merchanting.

    Example: Low levels: Farm herbs and sell them at your starter city for bank expansion quest. Also buy the herbs for slightly over npc price.

    A little higher: Grind the mats for pet expansion, sell those at the pet manager.

    A little higher: Grind enough to buy some tokens (USE A CATSHOP BUYER) Buy for cheap, then resell for higher.

    A little higher: Do some TTs/BHs and sell some mirages by Archo elder, set up buyer for slightly more than npc price. Sell your TT mats near Archo forges (SET UP YOUR OWN SELLER!)

    Keep the last 2 going, they are good money.
    As you get more money you can buy and resell more expensive items. Watch WC for people looking to make a quick buck by selling things for cheap, get them and be patient and sell them for their real value.

    Keep upgrading your merchanting until you can afford bigger and bigger profits. Don't spend your money on impulse buys. Earn twice what you need for anything you spend.

    Good luck ;D

    well...

    1. um..If ur lvl89+, go grind in hell/heaven and farm herbs/mats at the same time.

    2. If ur lvl90+, go do cube. I farm cube by selling the golden boxes(do NOT open them.DDDX). In LC server, ppl B/S cards in room18/46...sell the cards if u can(I dunno other servers~XD), Page of Fate(<--that's y u do cube at 90+b:laugh) could be sold for 500k-600k

    3. If u have a lvl22 or lvl34 alt, go farm hays from rhinos(lvl22) or abyssal mystery(lvl34). Hay's always good money >.>

    4. If all that ^ doesn't work, go quest.

    ^ are the ways I make money~hope it helps~b:cute

    Become a Billionaire starting from nothing:

    Get started with a lucrative lifestyle:
    -When you're killing mobs, pick up the drops and gold. Sell the **** to NPs, store the mats on a mule until you have enough that is worth making a catshop.

    -Do not always teleport. Choose the shortest and/or most expensive trips to fly yourself while you go to the toilet and get your drinks and snacks.

    -When you grind for exp, make sure you grind mobs that produce the most valuable mats like oil and leather. At later levels, you can grind the higher level instances for their mats. This should make you a few 100k per hour.


    Now when you made your first few million, you start to become a trader.
    -Put up a catshop with mats you farmed near a blacksmith. The fact that it is full of mat shops there should not be a reason to move elsewhere. People needing the mats are gonna be looking for em right there. Try to have what others dont have, and have better prices. When you get to know the market, start buying them for a little less than you sell them also.

    -Check the AH on a regular basis, see if you can find bargains. These usually are freshly posted (bargains dont often last 24hours) or they are items with no buyout where you may be lucky when you bid shortly before closing.

    -Dont spend too much money on your gear until you are rich. Money makes money, so invest it rather than spend it.

    -Think about everything as its monetary value and liquidity. There are no items that you should farm because you need them, or should not get because you dont need them. Items have a value, and they either sell easy or they take a while to sell. That decides if you want something or not. If you can do anything with it or not is secondary.

    -Try to find new markets or markets with little competition. Of course, the market should fit your bankroll.

    -When your bankroll got big enough, you can trade coins for gold when its cheap, spend it on the best sale in the boutique and then sell those items, especially profitable after the sale is over. This can make millions easilly, but you need some dozens of millions to get started properly.


    Delivering Services
    When you are higher level, you can just have your equipment because it is pretty and shiny, or can still think like a merchant. When you have the money for it, equip your seeker to be a zenner, equip your sin to solo FCs and sell mobs+heads etc.

    With gold being > 1m coin in game, there's nothing you can do in game that would beat working for an hour or two doing anything and using that cash in-game.

    If you try making coin in-game, you might as well move to China and find a job at a textile company. You'll still earn more money in a sweatshop than you can farm/merch in the same amount of time.

    So true.
    Merchants aren't even at the computer... they just leave their shop on/items in the auction house.

    Btw didn't pwi increase coin rewards for really low leval quests in the last upgrade?

    Hey you !
    Are you the kind of person that was born before your mother had cramp !
    Yes you there !
    You do so many things and have no times for petty task !
    Then listen here my friend, !

    Here is the deal, get a visa !

    Seriously, only fast way now is zen.

    if not, enjoy the game while your low lv, cause it's get boring to do the same thing over and over after lv 70.

    I read the 19-39 DQ are now down at 1 coins. Pitty last year during 2x BD month I build a veno in 2 week from lv 1 to 60 using my 100 cleric. Whit all the drop we got I was able to pay for a WG cape runs. So it's a great value of 5$ at the current market exchange rate.

    You can't make GREAT money in here unless you take the time to make it.
    I would set up a store and in a few week if you chose the market correctly you can make a lot of coins.

    Else just do like the rest of us, charge here and there, get BH100 reward here and there, and complain CSER have all the nv market saturated b:chuckle

    You must be a child. Gold is at 1.6m on LC right now. If you made 10 bucks a day working at a sweat shop, that would be 16m. Most people who merch don't make 16m per day pure profit.

    Nice childhood fantasy of yours. If you could apply this to the real world, maybe you wouldn't be holed up in your mom's basement.

    You may be the one who has childhood fantasies. The real world aint so perfect. Many, very very many people do not make 10$ a day by a long shot. I like to to go to guatemala, to spend the wintertime there. Its a third world country, but not the worst. The minimum wage officially is about 7$ a day. Most people do not get payed the minimum wage and are happy work for 5$ a day and i've seen people work for 3$ a day. I immagine theres many countries where payment is worse, as i said guatemala is not even one of the worst third world countries.

    On topic, on my server gold is 1.2M. Yes i can merchant 5x1.2 = 6M a day. Not so hard actually. The only reason its not happening every day is that i abide to the rules and play only 2 accs at once. So when i want to use a higher level char to help a weaker one, that means no catshop. And then there is reflecting severely limmiting my catshop time. And then the disconnects due to my ****ty internet connection :). Without all those issues, running 2 catshops 24/7 and visiting the AH even your 16M figure should not be a problem.

    But as said in my last post before, paying dollars is a lot easier for sure ! :)

    Lol it's not as great and people claim it to be. Most lie and say they merch when they don't even have a basic clue about it. It takes A LOT of capital to even start a decent flow of "profit" for it to be worth it. And unless you had a head start or are rich to begin with, you can pretty much forget it you'll spend months trying to reach that much.

    Edited quote because minus the immature response I agree with this mule. Hell I'm lucky to see more then 5 on average. There are always exceptions to this such as waiting for a sale to end and then selling it automatically gaining profit no matter what. (Which is what most people do which is so much loss potential)

    Pure profit means money earned AFTER reinvesting into more stock. You're not including the amount of money you have to put back into different inventories. Pure profit generally is about 10% of your total income that you keep for yourself if you want to continue to grow as a successful merchant.

    Indeed, merchanting profits depend primarily on the money you have to invest. Just like in the real world. Money makes money, and more money makes money faster :)

    You act like you can see my cashregister ?

    Yes i am not stupid, it is pure profit i talk about. And i dont make 10% i make 2%. I just turn it over fast and make sure i have enough capital by not spending it.

    I seriously doubt you're netting 800mil a day if 16mil is your 2% pure profit in 24 hours on 2 accounts even. That's 400mil a day per account. Especially on a pretty much dead server I'll argue that as false.

    As i said, i am not even making the 6M every day (only on days that i leave my catshop open 24 hours and pay attention to it regularly)

    But i am only in 2 bussinesses. There is CS packs, tokens, rep, mirages, perfect stones, mats, gears and more that i didnt think of. If you get good at all of them and as i said dont abide by the rules and have like 4 shops, then 16M should be very possible.

    Changing your story now.

    I am in 2-3 usually at once. I'm quite aware of what potential marketing options are available. I've been doing this since 2009. There is no "getting good" at anything it's simple supply and demand and having the best deals for your customers while still having a marginal profit from it.

    It is impossible to monitor your shops at all times of the day and night you have to sleep eat school work or w/e. And there's quite a few times where you aren't gaining anything because you were being undersold by a few other shops and unless you are there to match or beat their price that is time wasted.

    Ah you are right, thats an incosistency. the 16M figure is theorizing anyways. So lets say what you need for that is somewhere in between there, 2,3 or 4 shops x 24 hours. Doesnt matter, its not gonna happen because i want to play the game also and have only 2 accs online.

    So i am happy with what is in reallity 2-3M a day with 1 catshop being on for about 8-12 hours or so. Sometimes i can have my shop running all day and get that 6M. Now and then, a ****load extra from a good sale to bring up the average a bit.

    Point is that it is pretty possible to merchant multi millions a day and yes more than you make working in 3th world countries.

    A few posts ago i was smart enough to delete the whole thing, but well ok. I hope it doesnt matter, CSers are probably not CSers because they have no idea that you can make money merchanting, so lets hope treads like this wont change them from CSers into merchants :)
