Seeing someone with 900K does not mean they aquired their wealth by farming. They could have been at the NPC trader at the right time during a rune reset, and reaped huge rewards.
Many of the solo farmers, runners, and underworld soloist use a special build ( protection monk ) that is put together for those specific purposes.
You won't find anyone here talk about places they farm and where it is for fear that it might be the next location nurfed.

ah k then im screwed,im going to have to find an easier game,because if i am to make that kinda money would take someone years of playing.

Money is not everything. I am on my 3rd character now, and combined have not acquired that kind of money, but it has not detracted from total enjoyment with the game. Sure things could be done better, but to drop the game because you don't have the money like some folks do, does not make sense. The things they spend money on Like Fissure Armor, do not give you any better armor ranking then the armor you would get through normal play, and at a much reasonalbe price.

Unless you are just a fanatic about the 15k armor, 100k easily is enough money for this whole game. Superior runes are over-rated as is, it's only 1 more point of dmg reduction for superior absorption vs major absorpsion and only 10 more hp's between major and superior vigor. And unless you are trying to create some uber soloing build even the superior runes for 1 more point of an attribute isn't worth the price nor the HIT POINT LOSS. I find majors work just fine and I win my fair share of PVP arena battles both Team an HOH without having to have superior anything or even a godly weapon. My vampiric sword max dmg 3:1 does just fine. But, it's not the only sword I use either. I have (4) different swords that I use based on the situation, once again that is intelligence using the best of what I have to compete with those that think they are something uber cause they have 15k armor. lol

The game is about skill, not about having the best. I've played most of the whole PVE game with HENCHIES on very tough missions and completed everyone of them and I don't have a single superior rune, but, I do have the 1500gp armor set and my skills and my own intelligence to defeat the AI. My whole henchie team got creamed in one battle but I was smart enough to see it coming and ran away and was able to spread out the NPC mobs to kill them one at a time, then go back and rez my entire team and complete the mission. So BRAINS is more important than money in this game, just wish more people would realize that.

Unless you're a Warrior, you can be perfect with about 70K gold. How? Just get the 1.5K Droknar's Forge Armor, insert the runes (Superior Vigor is still pretty expensive..) you want, get collector's items (which are perfect for you most of the time) and don't care about looks at all.

collectors items while not as good looking have very good stats

and i just missed out on the gold rush yesterday but small scale farming has gotten me to just under 500k but i judt spent some on my 1.5 k drok armor which works just as well as the 15k stuff

if you find you are getting tired of the game do what i will do which is do something else till the urge strikes again.

you are not paying by the month so you lose nothing in the real world and the 20 cap means your friends are not gaining levels on you

enjoy

i think this game pertaines to 50% skill and 50% money. I farm all over and i only make 80k at a time i am very skillful and working on my 2nd 15k armor (even tho the first set i didnt even buy.) I think this game would be easier if they made making money easier because i would like to buy all the stuff i need to farm the FoW very well. SOme good places to farm are trolls outside of drok with out hench and FoW.
