Grind things that you can kill before you take any damage. Grinding becomes very, very cheap.

You could also try grinding green mobs, which seems to be working well for me at the moment. Its pretty interesting how less pots you use on greens and how much more eqipment drops u get in compared to white/orange mobs.

just grind on greens, leveling is sometimes faster on greens. You get more drops and always enough money to go out and train again. So you can just keep training and the extra items you pick up, you can stall when you sleep voila depending on those "extra drops" you can make 30mil in an hour xD who knows.

I used to buy items +4 them and sell em off, but then again I'm pretty lucky with alchemy =P

invest in a pet.
before i got a pet, i was too lazy to pick up alot of stuff. after my pet, the gold the pet picks up from grinding is more than the cost of pots, so grinding for me ends up in a profit.

if ur really low on gold, buy a pet and grind on green mobs. do that for about a week, and u shuold be good to go.

plus, another advantage of having a pet: sometimes i afk in random places like in hotan. when i come back i find some random equipment (sometimes nice ones) item in my pet.

Thats a slow method unless you see a SoS 16 bow for 1 mil and you could maybe make a 5-8 mil profit off that. Investing atleast 1 mil into potions and grinding, collecting weapons/drops/tablets cant earn you fortunes, like it did to me. When you get to the caves/desert, you can then find 8th degree tablets, STR, stamina, int, crit, philosophy, all kinds of tablets can go for over 1 mil, invest a bit to turn them into stones and you will make even more.

If not, there is no GOOD efficient way into turning 2 mil into 30 mil

Its a symptom of a much larger problem....lazy people..

I was in DW the other day, and watch a player shout out "WTB weapon elixir for 200k"

Nothing out of the ordinary to the casual onlooker, but there were 3-4 stalls within viewing distance that were advertising 200k weapon elixirs, or for less.

This buffoon kept shouting it out every once in awhile, also asking for other things as well, but the weapon elixir thing annoyed me most.

I stalled a lvl 32+5 good crit, decent % for 1 mil over the course of a month, and no one ever bothered except asking for it cheaper...I even stalled weapon elixirs for 150k and had some guy asking for them to be cheaper...meh.

I didn't sell my spear until I globaled it, and the response was overwhelming, "For 1mil!! Are you kidding me!! WHere are you!!!!??? DOn't sell till I get there pls!!!"

People too lazy to look through the effing stalls and instead ask you to global it for them...bah

fewer people looking through stalls and shouting what they want instead expecting to have service with a smile, I never make good money stalling, its just something to do while I use the restroom or make more coffee.

What level are you Karlos? Maybe the scorps are better to grind at and they also provide alot of wind 2.

The sos prices on babel is insane now. 42 weapons go for around 30 mil. I'm not touching one of those, not worth the gold at all.
