Question about job exp/profit

Post by Casey613 »

So I'm a lvl 64 hunter, what's the best way to make good money? I've sold pretty much everything on my storage to buy myself a SoS spear and now I have 2.4m left :cry:
If I escort let's say 1 guy whose convoy is 5* with another hunter, will I gain the same job exp as if I was the only hunter in the party?
Also, what is the best way to earn gold, being a hunter or a thief? I don't really like being a thief because I'm not quite lucky most of the time but if the profit is better I'll switch.

(I'll be staying at 64 for a loooong while as I'm farming all the sps I need unil level 81)


Thanks in advance :love:

I wont say you can earn much money on any job, but i guess trader?
The profit isnt that big tho, but people job mostly to have fun.

if you job all week you can hit large amounts, 10mill+, im 52, i spend 1/7 days jobbing, usually makes me around 1mill pre bonus (i scout for L80 trades though)

i dont think the number of hunters per trader matters.

It depends on what you want to do.
Trader, you could run a 5 star, but you'd need Hunters, or do a ton of lower trades.
Also, A few times I've found 4 - 5 star trades on the ground and have made 200k+ off one trip. (thieving)
Trading takes more time, but I guess if you can handle it you are sure to get money.
Hunting, same thing if your a high level.
You just have to get lucky with thieving.

Well, if you can get hunters, then your profit would be high, assuming you're doing 4-5 Stars. My friend was doing 1 Star trades, using a Camel, and made ~200k profit per run.

I think you should just do SP farming rather than thinking how to earn money. As you do SP farm, you can gain gold + items from the monster, as well as D8 STR tablets.
I think this is the best way to earn money. :D

Don't be so worried about your exp... Job for fun

If you need money, trader is nice, but you will always need a few hunters as a high lvl trader, which is why most people switch to hunter at 2nd or 3rd tier 8d.

you can do better than this in a couple days breaking down 2nd degree npc weapons and reselling the wind 2s in hotan. 20+ mill a week easy.

i had 20 mill before my first character reached lvl 20.

Well, on a successful trade run I make about 1-2 mil profit. (Trader) The hunters get somewhere between 200-500k but that is not including the bonus they get at the end of the week.

If you are a very good hunter, your reward will be much bigger. I heard someone got 20mil from hunter bonus!

Good luck. (If you choose to hunt or trade)

Wen, ya nub. I make 500k always at least, its best to have 2-3 hunters per 5*. You get good exp that way, any more then that and you'll get crappy exp and money. Any less, and you wont even make it =P

I can make a mil easy with 2 5*s and 4-6 hunters. If not more. Depends on the level of the trader.

Plus dont forget your reward at end of week. ^^
