I seriously don't know what my problem is lol, I sell my seal of sun boots D8 and sold a level 72+5 sword with great stats and got around 350mil.

So within 2 and a half month all my 370mil is gone (had 20mil in pocket). I need help, any advice would be greatly appriciated. Been selling 9th degree elements so it can supply my pot runs which cost about 1.2mil at a time.

Do you have the same problems too? Let's hear about it

Don't spend so much gold on alchamy. Alchamy takes the most gold out of anything, once you are done with alchamy your money should pile up.

You spent money on new gears?

Are you making a profit from grinding?

Been using alchemy?

Been hacked?

Control those 4 things better next time.

maybe you showoff your money and pay 10mill for som1 to plvl u or shit like that, maybe you cant ctrl urself

i wasted max mill in 2 minutes, i cleaned hotans elixirs =P

and my last max mill i got was be4 2 - 3 weeks and i still have 580mill left, i bought som future sun garms

max mill = 999mill

i just put my extra gold in my storage and challenge myself not to use it in useless things...

but sometimes i fail and i ended up spending it on alchemy...

o0 i've never had above 18mil.....EVER

my highest gold count is only 7mil... that is the highest i got so far...

Buy cheap tabs and elements, sell the stones for more then you bought the elements+tabs. In large scale this works really good, for me atleast i gain from 50 mil to 200 mil (Also reselling stuff)

I really need some long lessons on making money but the max gold I had in inventory was 150mil in total i got 60mil now + my sos weaps

keep a budget, leave all ur gold in storage and only have gold for pots,repair and ect.

Most i had in my inventory was 147mil something, but i spend money on everything.

I profit from cheap deals i find and reselling them
For example sos lvl64+4 bow in a stall for 12mil (probably missed a 0)

Also i have been blessed with about 10 SOX drops on my main char.

-Grind for your own alchemy drops = tabs + elements. Only buy elements if you really can't get them through grinding. Try guards or snipers for tabs. I haven't spend a penny on str tablets yet at this cap and I've made 2 full blue sets already and am putting the final touches on a third set.

-Don't buy full blue shit, make it yourself.

-Pvp less, you'd be surprised how much gold you'd safe for not having to buy XL pots for pvp. [Pvp just eats pots like no other, and pots = money]

-Don't give gold to gold beggars ^^

-Don't waste money on low lvl sos, masks, and other bullshit items that you only buy for your entertainment

-Grind, you'll make a slow, but yet steady amount of gold. [I've made 33m just from grinding over the past 2 weeks.]

I don't know how but i always have atleast 70mil in my inventory. Never goes below 50.

When the 80 gap came out i made 2 glaives 1 +8 and 1 +7.

I sold the +7 for 400 mil, I used 200 mil for good gear ( pimping it my self etc )

and I got 200 mil left now

Yeah, that makes amazingly good money. I dropped a 72 c12 glaive, +'d and blued it and sold it for about 400m as well. Also made a full blue 3rd tier garm set +5, sold it for 375m. Early cap alchemied gear sells high. Too bad that for the 90 cap we're screwed not having a nice stash of tablets to start out with.

Yes I :

Wiped out hotan's weapon elixir stalling, thinking I can make a +4 sword which is really cursed. About 6mil there

Buy Wind 2 and all those rare elements

Buy Tabs when I was pimping my sword

..Maybe I should switch to cheaper Hp and Mp each stack is 50k

Bought a lvl 16 sos bow+3 for 9mil, thought I would resell it...But oh boy I was wrong

No I never buy mask's because I can make my own. I really want to take a break because all of the ahem *ot's because they have their KS on. Maybe I should take a break untill a new area comes out and by then I would have my place back o.O" Just can't compete with them!

The suggestion of putting all or most of my gold on a different account sounds very helpful. Maybe I should do that when I have money, sooo broke right now



Alchemy Is a Biatxh!1

Is their anyone else like me? Come on share so I won't feel that much of being an idiot

Thanks everyone

You guys are all so rich...
I had 16mills once, never had more than that. ><
I'm unlucky on drops tho..

lol the most Ive had is 2.8 mil
heehee im such a n00b

I just accept it-in SRO, basically everything good comes with lvling up-sos drops, money, trade runs etc so Im just focusing on grinding atm

most i had was 65M. then my guild mate got a drop SOSun bow 64 sold it for 999MIL then gave both my brother and i 250MIL each there ARE GOOD people in game so now i'm at 350MIL and im not spending it on anything till i see something good.....i'm a cheapskate and thats one way to save gold

I spended 12 elixirs so far trying to +5 my sos shield was +4 then failed and failed and failed gonna try again tomorow its at +3 again now

lol good time to make this thread
i sold my 72+7 spear yesterday for 235m
plus the gold i had gave me 244m
im down to around 120m right now
and i have no idea where most of that gold went lol
just try not to be so spontaneous

i just tend to try and refrain from buying weapons and armor, with +'s on them. becuase people jack up the prices. and NPC works jsut fine, or atleast at my current lvl

all my gold went to alchemy things.. cant wait to level 72 so i can sell my blade and shield. right now im selling 8d stones in hotan. made 15mils for the past few days.

I did all the stuff ppl do to gain money except i never had an SoX. I even sold elements and made str stones. Still i only got about 18mil then i stopped caring and started theifing all the time back when thiefing wasn't profitable and somehow i wasted 16mil on that >> im not good with money

Before I would end up spending all my gold on alchemy but recently i started getting into alchemy material selling. First started by selling str stones but then i started breaking down gear for lucky stones. Managed to get 6 lucky stones yesterday while destroying and got 2 more the day before that, twice i got 2 lucky stones destroying one item. As far as i see if you're not making money you're spending it and selling stuff really helps to offset the loss of money on alchemy.

yea...thats true...i always look for elexers...barely see any..

Most ive had was 15 mil, and as soon as i got it spent it all on a 5degree +3 sos set *including accessories* but the best way to make money is destroying. ^^

just act like you only own enough to get pots.
