you could do what i do, and not care that you arn't rich, I'm not poor, i'm not rich, i have enough to get half way decent gear, and buy hp potions, (as a sub class of a bard i don't use many mp potions except when i don't have time to use manacycle and switch back to wizzard)

I don't have the pateints to go stalling, nor do i feel like leaving my computer on to stall. Just get by, and keep grinding, or go on trades every once in a while (or if the case may be theif runs)

Spending my few hours of gameplay a day trying to make money when i could have lvled in the time it took me to make almost the same amount of money, from drops and loot (sure i dont' make as much, but i dont' want to waste my time trying to make money i don't need)

though i do plan on stallig my plus 7 axes i found and 3 sos heavy armor 3rd degree, rare stuff is the exception to it,, but i save it up and do it all at once, and the money i'll make will go into the guild fund to help lvl it

me too. ^^

Do like what Amelie says. I started that last tuesday with 4 million, since then i got male gdf, a sos shield for 42 farming (saving up for a sword now).
Agility stones also sell well.

Another thing i found, is look out for D8 armour/garms/prot with 400HP, if its got that, and int3+str3, itll sell for 10mill+. 2nd and 3rd tier even more. Sometimes people underprice, or an item is 5mill with hp400 and int, then just add str yourself and $_$

You can't really resell items if you don't have gold to buy them.

What me and my friends did is we made a new euro char(Rouge+Bard) in our accounts and then we p-level it to 40 to get all skills and at that level and de-level it to 39 so our trade chars would have "player-theif immunity".


We still testing it... so we don't really know how much have we earned so far.

eq resale is completely practical, you made 1bil in 3 months, i could make 1bil in 1-2 weeks reselling.


it may be practical if you already have the money to buy equipments to resell
but for those who are really poor, you can only hunt tablets, make into stones and sell them. at least you make 100% profit from it

congrats to you if you can make 1bil in such a short time.
perhaps you people should ask mosiac for more advice in earning $$
anyway my post was trying to imply that if you work hard to stall, you will not be poor, of course set reasonable prices so people will buy

I could probably help you a bit with ur pot problem.

Usually when people buy pots, they buy 50 at a time. What I do is buy 25 at a time, it fills my inventory, and i save half the money, sure the pots get over fast, but it has helped me.

Sounds stupid,but try it really.

really glad on your answer this is one of the reasons why i get so mad to people who buy gold.
making gold is easy it get easier when you have a second pc you can use as a staller all day.
grinding is the hardest part of this game especially gaining sp but getting gold legally is kinda easy, just have some patience and stall at reasonable prices.

make a stall char preferably on your playing account you are allowed to have 4 chars on 1 account most people usually have :

1 to play
1 for elements
1 to stall - buy a level 2 or 3 guild it is well worth it (or level one yourself)
1 other option ...euro char for example.

grab all element drops especially with a pet you will be amazed how much elements you can get a day choose a spot close to some goldbots cause those usually don`t grab those elements.

grab tabs all of them make sure you have 1 storage page out of the 5 for tabs.

do what Amelie said sell those tabs add agility to that list.

don`t sell your elixirs use 1 page in your storage for them if its get full try your luck only on degree 7 or 8 items.

keep all your drops on 1 page move them to your staller from time to time stall them each night just double the gold you would get if you sold it to the npc.

use your pet to move things to the other chars if you don`t have a guild for it. this also saves you some gold, getting a pet in your storage is 1 gold no matter how much you have in it, use it to transfer the stones you made to your staller, also practical when you have to destroy things for elements.

i about 6 to 12months you will need to handgrind to level 80 you can make enough gold to buy whatever you want.

How i made my money was all through elements when i started....break your monster drops for elements as well as equip drops.

Once you do this for a bit you will have a bank roll...with the bank roll look for low priced equip drops in the stall network of deg's that provide high demand elements and break these for more elements

You will start to accumulate quantities of elements that are not in high demand...to make these usefull look at tabs of various deg's that are usefull like str/int/stam/chall/agi/ that utilize these elements you have stocks of. if you sell elem for a while you will know their value and so u will be able to look at the elem required for stones...combine this with the cost of the tabs from the network and compare to the cost to buy stones. The stones are always more valuable but stones generally take longer to sell then elem unless you undercut, if you can undercut and still be making more cash then sellin the elem make the stones

At the same time you look for cheaper equip drops for your elements look at the rest of the equip as well and you will find stuff that is underpriced all the time.

Lower lvl deg's is only really worth reselling when you see underpriced sox...once you get to 7-8 deg or even some 6 deg, non sox underpriced items can be resold fairly well.

Also once you have cash if you buy blued/+'d gear already done for a decent price and sox weps they will be worth roughly the same when you go to sell so having good gear does not cost you anything if you have the cash to invest in it. Also this gear will increase your attack/def so you will save money by using less pots and killing more will mean more drops=more money.

Once i looked at equip as an investment instead of an expense is when I started to make money :D

For me, i had near 11mil at lvl 41.

Well I get Items drop every time i went out to grind, i will return with about 6-8 (Armour + Weapons). Occasionally i just get 2-3 Item with 3-4 Exlir which could have my my profit for the trip to return back to square.

This is how i will deal with my drops:
First I will sell all the White items for Armour and White weapons which has critical less than 8 to NPC.
Second i sell all Female Items to NPC regardless if they are deep blue.
After replenish up my Potions, i stilll earn about 70-80k + some 1 or 2 real good valuable items.

So far i had gotten 3 SOS drop. Believe me, all my 3 SOS drop are from normal mobs(not from Champion and Giant).

you will earn $$ effectively when you start getting 8 deg drops

for clean drops normally i will just stall them at around 1m - 1.5m depending on which body parts. eg hands 68 for 1m, shoulder 69 for 1.1m etc...

for those with two blues or more, i will destroy it. most probably you will get a stone and if you're lucky, you might get a luck stone which you can sell for around 7m-10m depending on the price on your server.

as for weapons with 2 blues or more, you will get at least 2 stones when you destroy it. at the same time, you can also sell those 8 deg elements, those lvl 72 weapons gives you tons of them

lastly, always check out the current prices of the stones on stall network and sell them at a slightly cheaper price (like 50k lesser), so your stones will always be sold off first

Tell that to my lvl 42 SOS blade. I had it +3, was dumb enough to try +4, 15 elixirs later (with lucky poweder), it was +0. My friend then tried it. Took about 8-12 elixirs/powders to get it +3. I was dumb enough (again! :banghead: - a few months later) to try +4 and about 8-10 elixirs later, it's +0. I guess it's easy to +1 or +2, but so hard to get beyond +3. I can't even seem to GET +3 :(
