Tried to come back to the game.....

Well, what server are you on? There /are/ factions that have no, or lower level restrictions.

O.o What are you talking about? There are still people who continue to play the game without joining these "High-End" factions with "oodles" of coin/gold. As TPStar mentioned, herb gathering or low mat gathering is one of the easiest ways to make money, sure its minimal because of the demand but it still coin you didn't have before. AND, as TigerGut pointed out, get the new dreamchaser pack which provides you with powerful gear/rings/weapons/mount/flyer as you progress. Think of it as a golden Supply Chest that gives you great stuff as you go along. Everything binds, but its better than the quest/npc gear you normally would have gotten.

As for factions, there are still plenty of factions who adopt people with the same motive to keep with the heart of the game by questing together and encouraging each other to better themselves in game without threatening to kick because of weaker gears.

Quests give a bit more coin, maybe not as much as you are hoping for but it still something to keep you afloat. Don't have enough for teles, fly!

Again there are people who find their way who ARENT CSers (myself included). So the game isn't dead, lower levels are getting benefits with Lucidsilver/gold level up chests so you can go from 5-20 if you are lucky to get Fantasy Fruits, so you are never working so hard as people did before all the goodies.

Don't let all what you hear through forums ruin coming back; you wanna play, you play. Simple as that!

Thank you for the replies everyone! I'm on Heaven's Tear server. Used to be in the TW guild aftrmath, but after a long hiatus because of school I came back and no one I knew there plays anymore.

I only have a lv 34 Wizard, so farming at lv 90 will have to wait until I can grind my way to the top I guess.

Tiger - Thank you for the code!!.......ummmm.......I hate to sound like a total noob, but........how do I use the code? b:embarrass

its no problem i had to ask also http://pwi.perfectworld.com/redeem

dont do it, its a trap. the economy is **** right now. you looking at spending 20+ mil on some 99 gear. Thanks to them selling gear in the item mall the economy is inflated

Just for Wizard's skills you will need to pay about 55 millions coins.

Herb farming is probably the cheapest way to earn money. It doesn't require any start up cash, and just need to be level 90+ to enter sage/demon world. You can do it any time you want, for as long as you can. And there will be fewer competitions during 2x. It is not the most profitable thing to do, but it is a start.


You can even dual client with this, have 1 staying at an area that is rather safe and mainly use the other one to run around between spawn area. b:surrender

Can someone calculate how many herbs he need to sell ?

Err ... 55,000,000/1,000 =55,000 (if 1 herb cost 1,000).

or

55,000,000/10,000 =5,500 (if 1 herb cost 10,000).

Wonderful !!!

Lets go to earn coins using this method.

Its tough at first if you are getting back into the game. ESPECIALLY with lower level toons. But, once you break level 21, you get access to the new Bounty Order Quests. Which gives a decent amount of coin based on your level.

I can tell you ive experienced this, i just returned yesterday and im still learning about all the content since i left about a year ago. i've managed to level to 28 quickly with quest, questmaster and lucidsilver rewards. Returning it feels like i have to learn everything all over again.

Not sure about your server, but on RT, people always looking for compound oil, compound thread, and rough fur, as well as hay, all dropped from mobs for the level 25 to 40 crowd. Farm the **** out of mobs that drop them, and if close to 40, put your xp into your genie, then have mobs kill you so your xp drops so you don't level, as the drop ratio decreases. Check catshops for buy/sell prices.

^this i just returned yesterday and i found a helpful faction that can help me with fbs and culti bosses

i know there is one in the untamed starting area

be sure to do the earthguard quest after level 20 gives good 200k

Hmm when i started..you know back in the day when people actually farmed mid materials,high materials for crafting or wine making,the times when farm routes were over ran by people gathering mats for wine for their daily bh journey or fb wine.I would farm till i saw the routes in my eye lids,at lvl 40 farm the mid materials(mid mats),lvl 60 go up north and farm High mats,less competition now and mats galore,few cat shops are set up in buying/selling them,so selling them should turn a profit,because people like me buy the stuff to make stuff to sell stuff.

Also as for herbs,the lvl 89 herbs in hell or heaven...you dont even have to enter heaven.Just plant a store outside of the heaven and hell doors and buy a tad higher than the apoth catshops,and then go sell in west by the apoth a tad lower than the rest of the stores around..i have had plenty of sell outs real quick selling devilwood,tuplips,scented fungus,tiery herb,longen herb,white berrys,1 mill or less in purchases can make you 2 mill,depending on how many you bout and how much you sellem for.

Even sellin junk **** can turn a profit at times.

One more question: Flyers.

Should I worry about the (painfully slow) speed of my starter flyer? Do you guys recommend buying a CS flyer or saving up coin and buying one from a player?

It's so bad atm I can click on a destination and go afk for lunch and I'm STILL in flight lol.

**EDIT**: Thanks Tiger for the Earthguard tip (forgot to start it last night lol).

Depends on how patient you are... You could just use the free basic flying for the rest of your in-game life if you'd like... But if it's too slow for you, you might wanna upgrade to a better one eventually... They also look prettier most of the time... If you don't want to spend $$ on a flyer, you can either just buy one from another player once you have enough coin, or you can save up enough Dragon Points(50,000) to get the Sage/Demon Even card, which gives you 50 Event Gold, and buy one from the Event Boutique... b:victory

Oh, and if you're an Elf using the white wings you get from the start... You'll be able to learn a passive skill for those through which you can upgrade your flying speed to 2.0 at lvl 10... They're actually pretty good wings even at higher lvles... This only works for those white Elven wings though... And they might be inconvenient to use at times for an archer as those wings consume MP while being used (you won't notice much of this on a Cleric)...

i came back to PWI from Star Trek Online just because there are still massive lags (server not responding .. up to 60 secs) and i do jolly old jones dailies for some coins . Just bought the Mold: Misty Forest Ring from the npc in Thousand Streams for a total of 710k (this ring was spotted in cat shops for about 2-2.5 mil) . Money are saved from the Jolly old Jones Dailies, you need to be 21-80 lvl and its character lvl range restricted on account.

In Star Trek Online is much much easier to farm and make coins even being logged out with duty officers missions.The only problem there is the lag and server disconnects.

I dont take PWI seriously (to be hardcore player anymore) bcuz the prices on gear is insanly high and harder to get than 4 years ago. Saw a barb lvl 78 trying to tank Eyes of Krimson , died 3 times and when i saw his gear , he was wearing lvl 50 stuff ..as a main char..

play it hard while its 2x event active
some hints:
* have 2 alts with a higher lvl rank each other but using same armor type , AA , LA or HA and when you level to next rank send your armor to your lower char to wear it, on this way you'll save coins in time .

* have a veno to save pots to send them by mail to your cleric.

* learn crafting only on 1 toon and max it. If you have a farming char for instances use it for craft or decompose.

* while 2x event is active join to BHs and TT runs as much as you can. If you don't wanna lvl your toon , spend exp on genies and decompose them.

* save the dropped ammo for your archer if you have one.

* there are new treasure bosses which are spawning outside the main cities, go for it and kill those beasts it worth it.
~ 8pm plume
~4pm tellus
~12 o clock city of lost
~1-2 am archo
~3-4 am south archo
(note these might not be so accurate , and are according to the server time.. to see server time just select Server Status to see the time , also some of them are announced in the red system channel)

* lvl up your cleric , clerics were , are and still will be the most wanted in everything, bh,tt, delta,lunar,etc , you will have the chance to get many runs, save coins and buy/craft a good gear.

* do your dailies jolly old jones quests on the highest char first.

* every day when the server time is 8pm or 9pm visit lucidsilver or lucidgold npc in main cities for online time reward such as exp,timed fashion,small charms..

* search for rewarding divine quests - blue or purple with a divine order to craft your free mana,hp free food.
