30 million EC's a day

fedman70fedman70 Member Posts: 150 Arc User
Someone said this in chat online. I'm just wondering how. He said he sells purples mainly, but what kind? Doffs? Equipment? Stuff he fabs? And, I'm wondering where he gets this steady supply of things to sell.

    Certain purple DuOff's fetch me around a mil a day.

    Certain purple MK XII consoles fetches around 30, 40, 50, 60 and up to 90 Million...
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Nope... you need to use the "Childrens Toys" and the Random recruit/Asylum missions DuOff missions for them.

    I used to do that. But you still don't have the complete answer. There's more. :D

    When I was saving up to a D'kora I did alot of kerrat (XII loot, purple XI if you finnish 1:st) and STF:s and made about 10-15mil a day in average. Before I started really saving up for it I had 20mil from 2 months playing.
    Took me about 4 days to make 50-60mil, now there is more missions and stuff you can do to make EC. And a hint is to use the exchange....

    If you really want to make fast EC it is possible to easy make 5-10mil a day without crafting with Powered Alien Artifacts.

    For example I did the Federation Minefield 2 times and got 2 Purple XI AP mag regulators in a row and other purple stuff (did not sell them but they were worth about 3.5mil each).

    theres an easy way to get lots of purples you cant pick what you get and i'd rather not say i'd lose my supply chain :-D but i read started replying and well lol. 1 ground purple items kits weapons shields armor can sell for a good price go to otha in eta block its a ground war pvp pve zone normally very empty but still some klingons and feds around to try avoiding at least i do i want rewards not pvp fights but if they about to finish it meaning you'll lose blast them use pulsewave for the turrets you can do this on your own anyway first place you get purple gear at level 50 it can be worth few hundred k since you can do it many times a day/ few minutes easy to get alot of ood stuff for a your self b your officers c sell anything you dont like/need. next space stuff weapons consoles mines shields so on purple easy be number 1 in kerrat or whats the name of the pvp space zone in kdf territory/use di if fed. again be careful pvp zones theres often feds using cloaks and mask energy signature trying to act like klingons and kerrat we all been there getting shot by birds of prey. again for the space be number 1 most kills. also pve queues dilithium/gear ones be first best gear but choose need on white gear too other day 60 crit severity on a white torpedo for commander level ok not worth much but at higher levels if purple or white 60 crit severity is gonna have a good tidy price tag.
    sorry for not much spaces in my text can be hard to read for some :)

    Who are the best DOff's for prototype construction?

    I manage to output MK XII consoles at a decent rate but I'm still getting greens 30% of the time.

    You'll hardly get less greens, it's an expected outcome.

    You need Purple Eng Doffs with Resolve and one of three traits: Stubborn, Cunning, or Efficent, and you can get the cratfing to Purple %24 Blue %51 Green %24 And thats the best you can get it unless you have indrustrilist Krena from the Ferengi Cadra pack, She has Resolve, Cunning, Stubborn and Efficent and with her you can get %25 purple and %23 green. But she is bound so you have to open lots of Ferengi boxes to find her. I spend about 11 mil for 10 powered artifacts and can get about 40-60 mil in consoles out of that investment.

    Heh well console fabrication is risky.

    If you spend 20 million to get 4 purples you could easily end up with RCS, power insulators and countermeassures and what not.

    Just because you get a purple doesn't mean it's going to be useful. Even if 3 of them are 6 million and you flop on the last one you are still down 2 million.

    As for the regular one in space I've crit on that a lot the past while but they all end up MK X or XI.

    Sometimes you can get lucky on the exchange and bet on a item going up depending on the supply and make a huge profit but that's risky too and just like with console fabrication you need to be up there already.

    If anyone finds a button to spawn 30 million I'd love to hear about it all the things I've done were mostly hard work outside the occasional luck.

    There is no "30M button"; actually it requires a lot of planning to earn such an amount of credits on a daily basis, and consoles aren't the best way to do so. It's a nice addition but you'll need to play on many markets to get that. Or you'll need to get a full harem of alts, which is the most boring way to earn credits. But if you want to feel korean or chinese, go with alts, it's the easiest way.

    The first rule is: don't share your tricks.
    The second one is: as soon as you find your sweet spot, don't kill it and don't flood the market.

    That's been my experience so far. I've got some purple system's engineers but none of them have crit bonuses which saddens me.
    Still its the most profitable thing I've found so far for the work.

    With Doffs you can upgrade 3 whites to one green, and more? 3 greens for a blue, 3 blues for a purple?

    I have a powered alien artifact I forget where I got it, maybe a lock box?

    I think the latest lockbox gives them. But, I get all mine from the "Negotiate Delivery of Additional Commondities." mission. That gives you the unpowered artifact. As far as I know the science mission to power it doesn't matter which doffs you use. It gets powered no matter what. The right combo of doffs only matters when you want to make a console.

    With 10 alts though, you could get 10 powered artifacts a day, couldn't you?
  • yakumosmithyakumosmith Member Posts: 101 Arc User

    There is a cool down after taking the artifact mission which limits how frequently you can run it.

    The mission is not always available the second you are off cool down.

    You are not always online when the mission is available.

    The three of these combine to reduce the number of artifacts you can gather.

    basically if you run fleetaction all day long you will endup getting a ****load of purple MKXI items, mainly consoles...some really sell very well.

    so 30 million a day, sure, is it a lot of effort, probably

    Not remotely true. Only the top person gets purples that means 19 other people didn't. If all 20 run them all day long, one guy wins 19 people lose. All day long.

    I'm feeling like small potatoes here. Silly me thinking that getting 250-300k in vendor trash from a certain foundry mission, plus 200ish k from my Tau Dewa daily (Acamar) was good. I think over the weekend I did close to 3 million EC doing a combo of that, plus my normal dil runs.

    That's not how the system works. It's a tiered system with multiple people finishing at the same rankings. I've finished first along with others in the same instance on multiple occasions.

    Any pilot worth his salt can routinely place 1st or 2nd. If your going into one with a pure support cruiser setup or a heavy sci ship, you probably aren't that concerned with rewards or making EC off it anyway. Otherwise pull out an escort or a FAW tac cruiser. If you still can't manage it, maybe you need to work on your game.

    There really should be a clearer path to those Mk XII purple consoles. The tiny increase over even a Mk XI blue console is not enough to justify either the convoluted DOFF missions or ****ing 40k on the exchange.

    Just put them in a vendor for 20k dilithium each, for ****'s sake. :mad:

    Nah, we need stuff to spend EC on. It's fine. If its such a small upgrade, don't worry about it, you don't need it.

    But I want it. Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!


    :P

    (I have no clue how to rack up 40k EC without playing 16 hours a day, which I refuse to do.)

    A blue shield sells for 40k, I'm assuming you mean 40m.

    In the last two weeks I've had drops from eSTFs that sold for 65m a piece. I bought out a bunch of cheapo plasma infusers a couple weeks ago and I'm now selling them for a 250% profit(banking on Romulan weapons creating demand). Ive made tens of millions off that. Lots of ways to make EC for anyone inclined to look.

    I maybe play 1 hour a day and 3-4 on weekends and turn over 30-40m a week average, sometimes far more depending on luck and market opportunities. That's pauper status compared to the folks that play the market on the super expensive items

    I was thinking I'd try to experiment a little, sell one more key on the exchange and buy two more powered artifacts for a million (if they go for that much) then make 3 consoles. Well, actually, which one has the cooldown, making it, or getting the strange artifact?

    You can sell stuff for dilithium? Thought it only comes from missions?
