i know from level 1, mangyangs drop 30-50 gold, and as the monsters get stronger, they drop more gold. im level 24 and still monsters are dropping crappy gold. can someone tell me a list of some monsters that drop the most gold, from level 25-80 or something? people level 80 are usually rich-ass mofos. is it possible to get that rich from gold drops from lvl 80 monsters?

the gold drop doesnt go up too hight at all.. no it isnt possible to be that right... my best guess is ..they do alot of trade runs.. .

But yeah.... it does go up but it dont go up much.. dont expect to get profit from just drops u need to do trade runs... or stall weapons and elixers for profit...

This is what I've noticed: I'm level 26 right now and mobs are dropping a couple hunderd gold which isn't that great. The way I make money is off of weapon and armor drops. I'm getting up to 15k from the NPC's per item. I also make money by helping some poor lvl 20 guy do a 1 star trade run from jangan to dw and back. They can't handle the lvl 27 or so mobs so I help em out with that and they share a little of their profit most of the time. Other times I just do it for fun so that they can get used to trading. I've only had to deal with a couple of poppers, but not too often. If you think about it, most lvl 20's really want to start trading cuz they're bored of the grind and want to make money. They're usually willing to cough up a little money since they know they can't make it on their own.

y dont u just do a trade run urself then?

When I fight nachals I can actually make a profit from gold drops and npcing excess tablets/hp/mp grains/pills

The easier it is to kill things, or in other words the fewer skills it requires (nachals requiring one) to kill, the longer you can grind on the same amount of pots/durability, the more money you make

Because he is a nice person willing to help others?

He probably does his own, but it doesn't mean he can't help others.

you don't really make money off monster drops O_O, i got 11mil and im lvl 32, my first character and i just made my armor drops into elements also you can try find items for cheap in DW or jangan usually there is at least one person selling something REALLY cheap, e.g. i bought a 21+5 blade for only 300k!

I usually destroy my drops and sell the elements (or use them).you get more for the elements than if you sold the item to the NPC. I even buy cheap items in Jangan to destroy for elements. weapons seem to give the best elements but any item will do. I destroyed a lvl 38 glavie yesterday and got about 120 wind4 and 300 or so other elements. the wind4 alone was worth destroying it. it had no blues or pluses on it so no one would of wanted it anyway. This seems to be the best way to make money,(atleast for me).

get one of those annoying pets and go over to the stronghold...go afk ...lol you'll make tons of cash off of the bots... alternatiely you can stand there and pick everyones gold up.

i do neither of these things. Just a thought for the desperate.

personally i make 100k just farming...i make more form item sales/stalling.



the quickest way to make money is selling wind2...i sell 400 everyother day...i make 800k every 2days

i'm a lvl 16 sp farmer and i have no problem with not getting enough gold. i have all som gear and i still have money left in the bank. wind lvl 2 elements sell easy for 2k each. and at strong hold when i farm i don't ever pick up and gold and u can get around 100k in less then 2 hours if u have a pet.

About the gold drop from mobs. Im lvl 60 atm and ive been getting drops from 200-400 gold per mob since the red-eye ghosts at lvl 41. Im currently training at shakram and edimmu.

I think Joymax should make the gold drop a bit higher(ofcourse that would encourage gold bots), cause if everyone is so unlucky like me and doesnt get many item drops, its difficult to make some good profit.

At higher lvls , buying pots and getting ready for a grind run costs a lot and if u dont do trade runs or reselling items then u have a hard time making profit.
