From my own practice, good way to get lots of gold is to resell items. Buy cheap and sell expensive. I was into it some time ago when i was very busy and had no time to grind. Not so interesting as trade runs but far more effective. :roll:

You could do one of the following:

1) Buy cheap items, put them in a destroyer rondo, sell the elements.
2) Buy commonly used tablets (INT STR CHALLENGE STAMINA and a few more like Master/Strikes/Steady) and use the elements you got from destoying items and make/sell the stones. There are a lot of 'lazy' ppl who buy stones. (I recommend this for 4-5D and higher tablets/stones).
3) As people said buy cheap sell (much) higher
4) Get lucky when checking out stalls and find ppl who accidentally sell their (SoS/SoM/SoSun) items too cheap.
5) Get really lucky and buy an 8D item and get a Lucky stone

6) Grind green mobs

Things I would NOT recommend:

1) Scam other people
2) Buy gold
3) Trade runs at lower lvls (<25-30)
4) Join a guild, get someone to give you gold and then leave the guild
5) Begging

as said: currently it's much much more easy to have gold in early levels due to the event.

When i was level 5 440K was like an divine amount of money. Now you just get suits that sell for that price at the NPC

Like in my guild, all guild storage is filled up with event items and nobody needs them. Anyway, good thing that no noobs are allowed in there :roll:

Well, so far I'm not rich at all, not even one million, but close enough to it. And the things I've done to gain my money so far, is simply to level my char up. I have gotten enough drops to either sell them to the NPC, or set up a stall with a bit above double the price store gives me.

Depending on the items, I get anywhere from 1-15k so far, and it has helped me build my money. I've almost kept myself at White enemies all the time, except for a while at Yeohas in Green, and yeah well, those Bandit Archers drops decent equipment that you can sell for a good enough amount of cash.

Guess all I can say is, good luck, you'll need it.

Edit: Forgot to say that I don't use pots much at all. Instead I take it easy and sit down, so well, it takes more time, but wallet gets bigger.

from your first post it sounds like you dont get any drops

no elixers?

to make money you need :
- squirel/monkey/rabbit
- beeing lvl caped fully farmed so you find expensive things, such as weapons, str tablets, and other items which u can npc for XXX k. Also you can carry more goods if you make trade runs.
- trade runs ( don t get robed )
- grind mobs which you can kill with 1 or 2 skills, not 3.

Sell elements!

You can get between 200 and 1600 gold each for them (on Eldorado) depending on level and type, and a LOT of people don't even bother picking up their element drops.

I sold mine cheap and could easily make 100k a night from stalling. And that was with the disconnects - if I can have my stall open all night I can make 200-300k a night.

Thanks for all your suggestions people. It looks like I'll be hanging around the Yeoha for a bit longer to try and get more event items.

Though some think it's a bad idea to be a Trader that's what hope to be later on, not just to make money, but it sounds like fun too to try and get from A to B without being massacred by Thieves. I will also try to buy cheap and sell high when I get a bit more cash to buy lots of stuff and I'm already saving up my elements

I don't intend to bot, scam, beg or buy my gold as that's just not the sort of person I am. As I've already said, it's just not fun to do things these ways and once you have easily got the millions and all the best equipment you're just left to grind your way up to level cap. Where's the fun in that? I don't take enjoyment from screwing other people over and ruining their game fun just so I can claim to be 'l33t'.

the games economics are there to be used. so use em..

i buy cheap seal equip or clothes or even good lvl stuff , use my stuff i pick up and mod my gear. if its turns out good i use it for myself till i dont need it..

anyhow.. take all the low stuff mod , plus it, blues. and make it really good.

for example..

sos lvl 32 bow crit 6 no plus no blus.
cost me nothing got as drop so.. already in the profits

after i got done took me about 2 weeks or so.

lvl 32 sos bow crit 13 plus 6 full blues and too bot if ya bought it free 5000 arrows with it..

i sold it for 45 mill..

yeah, i doubt it was worth that much but that what i got out of it..

now as for regular stuff, trade run ok, but to many thieves round to make any real profit.
and the monstars dont drop good gold anymore.
so that is why i go around and buy 'goodwill buys'
and turn it into riches...... :roll:
