ok through pot costs and such i loose about 200k a day.... im lvl 55 i never really get drops and i pick up all my gold im worried i might go bankrupt the only drops i get are crapy and i npc them becuase they have no blues and no good stats maybe like +20% is the max ive gotten...

PLEASE HELP ME

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.

ok who ever say people dun buy crappy gear i sell the worst gear possible for original npc price easily somtimes even higher

Theres two others way you can get 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.

because you have a chinese char
chinese char are pots eaters especially glaviers

& try to grind in party (another way to save pots)

btw don't go trading alone at this level

try vending ur loots 1.5x to 2x the npc price. 3x to those in demand items (eg. staff). just npc non SOX cleric rods and harps. Sell wind4 elements and 6d elements. lots of wind4 elems at closiers/punishers

Or buy destroyer rondo, little expencive but you can get good elements.
For example water 6 is insanely expencive

fight green mobds or make taxi's

either you get more drops or oyu spend a few hours lvling noobs willing to give money

noob grind in garments n pimp ur stuff so ur more efficient

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.
Plevel noopies for some money.

enough possibilty's

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.

actually a lot of gold bots are glaviers because they DONT use many pots :S

but more of them are s/s nukers using garment for speed.

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

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!

try grinding on greens.

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..

agreed.

you lose gold bc its life and you noob

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.

Man, I'm level 29 and I got over 4mil just from drops.. You're probably just outta luck, or grinding the wrong mobs.
