advices needed on best way to get gold from items

Post by You_Dead_Yet »

Hi all

First i gotta say this is my first post but ive been reading and following each post here for a big while, really the best SRO community and i learned everything i know in game here.

Anyway i'm lvl 62 now, and since I started playing ive been stalling over nights and managed to sell most of the items i could find

But now i dont know why but it really seems to get harder and harder to sell dropped items, with blues or not, at a reasonable price.

I cant get to find a good spot in hotan for gear lv 55-65, is it only me?

So my question is, should I destroy all the items i get into elements? Or NPC everything?

Or now im wondering if I should NPC/destroy most of the items beside weapons and chests, and since i have lot of elements and good amount of tabs, i would pimp the weapons and chests to sell them at a high price?

is it worth it to do alchemy on items just to sell them, or i would end up loosing gold?

Oh and i know that you can get more gold from low lvl items by breaking them into elements than selling them to NPC, but is it also true for 7-8th degrees items?

Like a spear that NPC buys at 400k, can i really get more from elements usually?

Thanks!

Well you do have a variety of options to choose from

You can sell elements.
You can make stones and sell them.
Buy sos items, pimp them, and sell.
Sell the item itself.

You're doing the 4th option right now right?

Yep but like i said it really get harder and harder to sell dropped items in stalls when lvl is higher.

So i'm left with 2 options

break everything into elements and sell elements/stones
keep stalling my items and NPC those i cant sell
break the bad items into elements, and pimp the best items i have to stall them at a high price

i'm not sure if anyone can have the right answer to this as what gives the most money, but i would just like to have some players experience... Mostly with breaking elements, i sometimes broke 3-6th degrees items for elements, but im not sure its still worth it for 7-8th degree, can we really get more from elements than directly selling to NPC?

I'm going to say sell elements because people need them to be good.

if the equipments don't have decent %, blues or +, either NPC them or break them for elements. Sell elements or use the elements to make stones and sell the stones (the ones in demand btw, like str, int stones etc.). Pimping drops and selling them is a bit risky since alchemy sucks, but if you're pimping SOX items then it's much more worth it than pimping ordinary items (there's still risk though)

good luck

i NPC everything but SOX
NPC everything then go back to get more stuff, at least i think its a fast way to make money

not the best way to get gold from items though, so i guess im off topic :D
