i've asked a pretty good amount of people, "wat's a good way to make money?" and all i've gotten is pve, pve pve. Is there any easier, and quicker way to make money in the game? If there isn't, than where is the easiest pve area to make money?

if you have a warrior the easiest way to get a small amount of gold is probably vermin farming, search on the forums for details on this

EDIT: this is in Factions, don't play Prophecies...

Play the market, and do what Ivy says. I've bought many many Kanaxai's Edges and made profits selling every one of them. Or, you could always go farm greens. Check the Farming section.

Easiest way to make money:

1. Farming monsters for gold coinage drops and drops to sell to merchant - not massive amounts, afew K a run. Nice and steady income and if your runs are quick then it builds up real fast.

2. Chest running - get decent gold items and sell to other players.

3. Salvage decent mods from weapon drops and sell to other players. Just salvage the ones that are max or close to max.

4. Regarding green item farming, don't just farm any. Pay attention in towns to what others want to buy and what others are already selling. e.g. I used to farm Ghial's Staff in the early days and sold each for 50K to 60K. It's seems overfarmed these days and selling one at 30K is pretty hard to find a buyer. Most of my wealth are from selling various greens.

5. Farm UW or FoW for ectos and shards, many players still wish to get FoW armour for their characters.

When trading with other players, watch out for scammers and don't be afraid to undercut the going price. e.g. if there are others selling a, say, Ghials Staff for 30K then you sell for a little less. Get the money and move on, otherwise you can spend too much time trying to sell items than out farming.

All the info you need are available on this site, look at the Farming section and the Price Check forums.

Important question you all forgot..Op's level?

Low level -- Sell or salvage every item that drops, whites/blues/purples.

Trading Game* -- Not for you unless you have a reasonable amount of cash already.

Chest running -- Not much of a profit to be made from this these days, there is too many perfect items floating around. The gold to purple drop rate is rougly 1:3.

Solo farming -- Your best bet, FoW spider runs, UW dual ecto runs, others will say trolls ect but avoid these they are not worth the hassle for the small amount of gold you get.

Green farming -- Time consuming and not really worth the hassle the market is flooded with greens from over farming.

I've made millions and spent millions in this game so thats good solid advice.

*The trading game requires a certain amount of income because despite what ppl say you can lose money as well. To start in trading i'd say you would need a good 500k to 1mill.
