[Guide] Making Money.

Post by vietxboy911 »

My first guide so if anyone has suggestions on how to make it better, feel free to leave comments.

Ok, so you've seen people with SoS, SoM, andSoSuns , and some nice gear. You want to have one on your character, but when you check your inventory, you only have 10k gold! Your willing to sacrafice almost anything to get one of these but you have one thing standing in your way. Gold. You dont know what to do so here i am to help you.

THE GUIDE


ELEMENTS


The first step i do to make money with elements is to check stall network. Know your server's prices for the elements that sell. Elements drop in material drops depending on the degree of monster. So if your killing 2D mobs (monsters) they would drop wind 2, but not very much. But dont go around killing 2Degree monsters for wind 2 ( expensive in troy ). If your level 32 you shouldnt be killing monsters that low right? Know which monsters drop expensive elements around your level. As in the previous example, not all 2D monsters drop wind 2 some in 3-4D drop them also. Scorpions drop wind 2 and 4. If you do not know how to break material items then go to your local grocery store ( in game ) buy Void Rondos( its not that expensive and its worth the price ) then go to the alchemy window, put the rondos in place and simply put your materils in and click on fuse all. Material items dont always drop elements though. If you have extra gear you dont use you can buy Destroyer Rondos and simpliy bring up the alchemy window and put the Destroyer rondos in place then fuse the gear you put in one by one. NOTE: Dont always break down extra gear. Try looking in stall network to see if its worth alot, if it is, sell it by stall, if not, destroy it by alchemy.

Now that we are done with elements, heres the classic Buy cheap Sell more theory.( Almost like eBay huh? )

BUYING CHEAP AND SELLING MORE THEORY


Like elements, you should check your server's stall network for average prices for items this time. Sometimes you can get lucky with buying cheap and selling more like on an average day you can just be browseing, then you see an item you know is worth more then the price you know it usualy is , and then you buy it, then sell it for more. You can be makeing profit out of this but be aware :!: : you shouldnt spend all your money on this. you might need money at certain times so i highly recommend you dont spend all you got. 2-3D items usual arnt in demand so try buying 4-9D items to buy cheap and sell more only if you can afford it and have money left over.


JOBBING


Jobbing could also give you some profit. As a trader you'll be neading start off money but in the end you gain more. I recommend doing 1 star trades if you are a beginner then while doing 2-5 star trades, you'll need hunters. For a thief, you should usualy be in a group of thiefs unless you know you can solo people around your level doing 2 star + trades. Hunters get a descent amount too by killing thieves.


As far as im concerned, these are some ways to make money. The things you NEED is Dedication, Will Power and confidence to make money.

I hope this guide has helped alot of you to be sucuessful in SRO and again, this is my first guide so if you see anything sloppy or messed up, dont flame on me.

they where 2.9k each but prices have dropped (quiet allot),, high lvls have bought alot of wind4 and dont need that big ammounts anymore,,

im in xian server and water 4 and wind 3 sell allot faster as wind,, due to the stupid goldbots who destroy items and sell elements underprice,,

im selling wind4 for 1.6k each now in xian,,
WTS,,

water elements D3/4
fire elements D3/4
earth elements D3/4
wind elements D3/4

and a few sos´es,, look at topic

Here are a few tips I have

    1. Check stalls and the stall market every time you are in a town. Even though you might not find something every time you will know about what things sell for.

    2. Don't be in a rush. Just because you have an SOX item you cant use does not mean you have to sell it the first day. If your item is a reasonable price it will find a buyer.

    3. Don't fall for taunting on your good items. Odds are you will have people calling you a n00b when selling SOX or + 5 items. Just ignore these people. I have this happen all the time and all my items have sold. If I'm a n00b I'm a lucky one.

    4. Sell lvl 42 weapons in sam or dw. I made 500k more on my lvl 42 +3 bow selling it in dw rather then hotan. Odds are it will be the only one in the stall market.

    5. Look for your own gear early. The longer you look the better the odds are you will get a good price. But when you find a good price jump on it. Don't be the guy who says OMG level 42 i need a new weapon.
