Money Making Strategies
« Thread Started on Oct 30, 2008, 4:32pm »

Okay, so if we ARE going for a guild castle, I know I, at least, need to start earning some serious gold. So I thought we could have a section about advice for earning captial.

As you have already suggested to me, mining for ore. Would it be more beneficial for the guild if I gave it to someone to make into ingots and THEN sell, or should I just sell it as is?

Those pumpkin masks the scarecrow gives out (is that still going on?) sell for 996 in shops and I sold one to a guy for 2k (though I have seen them advertised for up to 10k).

I think I will sell my skele costume, so how much should I ask for it?

Let's get this castle!!

O'er stony mountains cold and grey,
Through halls of iron and darkling door,
And woods of nightshade morrowless.
The Sundering Seas between them lay,
And yet at last they met once more,
And long ago they passed away
In the forest singing sorrowless."

i dont think skele costume can be priced any above 50k...
but it is more time-efficient to make money by running run red gem for several times~...i guess...hmm...not sure...hmmmmmm...forget it, maybe...

Aish, the easiest way for you to make money as of right now is to run Barri for ingots (which you can probably give to Sec to refine...maybe) or to run Ciar Normal for Fox enchants, though the likelihood of getting that is a bit lower. Be sure also to pick the herbs, as they sell for a good price too (anything non-Base). If need be, I can refine ores too, but at a lower success rate (80% as it stands).

If you can, try running Rabbie dungeon on Tuesdays. Skeleton fomors rack up a very nice capital.

Another fair way to gain money is to harvest berries. It's especially effective with a pet, during rain, on Wednesdays. Berries can sell for 200+ a stack, I think.

How do I get the herbalism skill? Will ranking production mastery help me with picking the herbs? And what is non-base?

The herbalism skill is obtained from Manus, when you ask him about Skills. You have to have done his PTJ (part time job) about 3 times though, before he'll teach it to you. However, the herbalism skill isn't worth it, since it's 5 AP. Base Herb is the green herb you see lying around dungeons. They could possibly be picked to make a profit, but as they only sell for so much (herbalists can pick them in the wild), it's not worth the effort.

Yes, for now Aish I recommend Aly's suggestion of mining ores. As you can tell from our first experience, it was profitable for you (I never did this when I was a beginner like you, and you are already making more money than I am haha). But if you're not mining you should focus on getting more levels because then you can take Yuki's suggestion to go Rabbie and hunt skeletons.

Right now I make a living just by dungeoning often. I land huge lucky finishes often when I run ciar intermediate, not to mention you get money from chests as well. Huge luckies are where my source of income is haha.

Woah! Second rebirth (Second's Second... sorry, I always play with your name), huh? I am young and have the lucky girl title on all the time and I still never get lucky finishes (since my rb).
