its how the game is supposed to be. u grind and get drops and gear then u sell the drops and get pots in exchange. ur gold is supposed to break even in the end. only if u do trades or work the market can you get extra gold.

+1 trading is a major component in making good gold..especially if your under 40.

also, even if the items are crappy..dont npc them >.<..when you npc them , you get roughly 50% of its actual value..you could always stall it at 80% of its actual value and still make some money.

but go trading menz, goooooooood way of making money.

Buy for cheap, sell for more.
Buy for cheap>break for valueable elements> sell elements for more.
Buy for an ok price, pimp it out > sell for more.
Trade.

If you are grinding, and losing money, it's because the mobs you are grinding on are too high for you. Go back to lower level monsters.

They use ice imbue only, without attacking skills, and grind on much lower level mobs.
They wear Armor.

I dont get how you are losing money on grinding :o
I dont really remember when i was around 5x though... it was some time ago :P

But grinding always got me enough money, and ofc you should stall ,instead of npc, overnight so you have some fresh gold in the morning.

That should get you really far!

Yea grinding in party save at least 50% more pots.

But i dont argee that glaivers are pot eater.

I never had problems with money even though i used to npc my drops and im a glaiver.

As for what i do, i normally grind at mobs 2-3 levels above me but i make sure they do no magic attack. I can deal with melee attacks easily since im a pure str so i do fine grinding at higher mobs.

The items they drop are better so in turn i get more money grinding. As for pot wise, you shouldnt have problems but seriously, if you have problems, do a trade run with your union mates. You're level 5x. You shouldnt have problems with it. Just dont go 5* though. Stick with 3 or 4*. You're better off being a hunter though since ppl pay hunter if they succeed and hunters dont lose money if they fail..

When grinding on sonars I get 3-4 drops per pots fill up. Buying pots costs like 600k and I sell armor for 400-500k and weapons from 600-800k. I make more money then I use for pots easy. Stall all your drops.
