Who in the world of SRO hasn't been total broke yet? I've been a lot. I have no idea how to handle money...

When i'm finally returned from grinding I buy something new like a lot of MP an HP pots for a further grinding.
Or I switch 3 times a day of Job item, I use dimensional gates a lot o get back to DW and... Well I don't know what more..
but all the moneys just slips right through my hands... how do you other people get so rich?
I'm affraid that when I get to lvl 24 I can't even buy the next gear...

And Trade Runs won't work because I have no money for them or anything else...

Say now, how do you solve money problems, and have you got any tips for all the other people who have no money to spend??

Reply and we'll all know the steps that lead to money!=)

solving money problems = not buying what you want.

i can make 500k into 1,5kk in a day easily. but then i got enough to
buy the item i want, so i spend the 1,5kk and im broke instead of
making more with the 1,5.

Walk everywhere, sit down instead of using potions and sell looooads of elements.

but.. elements are totaly useless, right?

i think that when you sell all the elements you got from one item is as much as selling the item... the differnce isnt much.

Yup, but if you sell them to people who can't be bothered to go out and get them themselves, you can make a huge profit.

Wrong. Look out for wind 2, 4 and water 4 at your level you an sell those 3 for 2k each a piece easily.

i made 50 mil selling elements i got from farming and breaking down stuff dude.lol

You will make more money grinding and using pots then killing one mob, and waiting for 30 secs, killing a mob, wait, etc.

I'm no expert, but surely that will jut save time, not money.

Grind White Mobs

I dont get it

check what element drops those mobs have. plan ahead, skip certain mobs.

you are coming to an awesome money making levels 24-32 grind hyungno and when you can kill horses fast enough go there and spend as long as you can and get a decent amount of gold by selling the wind2 and 4 each at least 2k and horses drop a lot of those.

grab everything stall when you cant play probably one of the best way to make crazy money is to stall EACH drop you get (any protection or weapon) you can easily sell any drop for the double the money you would get by selling it to the npc.
just some small tips for starting to make money when those items are 4th degree you can even take a risk and destroy them and hope for wind4 but since you are already low on gold just stall them for now.

Pay attention to chat messages by people (not the bot spamming) who say things like "WTB wind 2" or etc.. I've sold loads of my elements, which are just sitting in storage by paying attention to what people write and then rapidly whispering to them, "I have some / how much do you need / offers?"

i remmeber my first char i had like 1.5m gold at lvl 29 and bought an SOS 24+2 sword for ALL MY GOLD and i was completely broke and realized my 29+3 was stronger.

so i stalled my sword for 4m and someone bought it

ive been doing that since, now i have about 150m in my second char lvl 50

walk everywhere and sit? that would be so much slower that it would be worse than running and potting, which would make u more cash

im broke now

recently boght sos



i usually try to have a budget putting gold in storage everyday even if its a little amount.

I just sold my full 3d Protector.. got 39k again and i just got 1d garment :XD: and a lvl 1 spear.. lol allways wanted to hang out the newbie at the chakji's or something like that.. or hit a Yeoha in 1 hit looking like lvl 1'er

ALL of your drops are worth something.

Even the arrows believe it or not. i have a silk pet, when I finish grinding, I sell all the useless stuff to a NPC including arrows, then I alch the rest or stall it.

I have around 12m banked and I'm not a partiularly high level. I always have enough for my next armour set before I get to the level.

selling stuff to NPC doesn't give me enough money and a stall takes all my time...

only stall when you can`t play, just put all your drops in storage the money you will earn by stalling them will be always more than selling it to npc and the money you lost by putting it in storage

sell to npc only if you need gold for repot,
select carefully what you are going to grind this can help you choose your mobs http://sircola78.si.funpic.de/Ally/adb/
try to grind as long as you can handle (go with gap 9 from 29 till 32) at the horses they drop most wind4-2 why from 29, because since you are low on money you can still kill them decently fast with a 29 weapon.

you should get a decent amount of gold/drops and elements out of your 9 gap from 29till 32 and if you are hardcore you can even delevel back to 29 and do the same again good way of getting SP and getting a nice amount of gold to use on later levels.

its boring but effective

I dont have to anything no more. They have given you what needs to be done. And goodluck

every day I make about 3-4m from drops which I NPC( got no time for stalling ) I go search the shops for a cheap lv 52/56/60 weapon with high crit and stats 40%+ I make that +3, I shout WTS glaive 52+3 crit 12 phys 56% I sell it in about 5 minutes and buy a shitload of str/int/stamina stones. After I fail them all or reset several stats to 0 I go back grinding and I repeat it all.

My set is SO close to being finished, I just CAN'T seem to get this necklace +4int/+4 str it's +4int+3 str atm but I WANT both of them +4. My sos crown also only has 100hp, but I've failed so many stones on that thing, I am not gonna touch it again, EVER! urhg, everything is +4int+4 str or higher, this necklace is ruining the grand image of my set

You MUST be doing something wrong, I've made a huge amount of money just npcing everything I get when I grind. Alch items, drops, everything. I pot up and repair buy a horse and go back out. My lvl 36 char has 12m and a 8m spear. So you must not be very smart with your money?

well, i'm just lvl 22... while grinding I die so much that I can't level up cuz I have no money for Pots... I never pay ppl for a ress.. when anyone asks for 50k a ress i'll wait for someone else to come by.. so that couldn't be it, right?

Ehm, get a monkey!
And just grind till u die
Btw, u get much more money at higher lvls.
I had money problems too at low lvl.
Now at lvl 59 i have 100+ mill (i pimp stuff and sell )
