I'm just curious to see how everyone does at making money. Please post your time played (type /age ingame) and how much cash you have. Don't make anything up

Me
Played: 3 months
Loot: 5 full sets of elite armor, stone gauntlets and a few bandanas, perfect r9 dwarven axe, destroyer scythe and soul reaping staff, and 500k cash + 24 ectos. (I'm guessing if I sell everything not listed here I could end up with 200k more :P)
How made: Chest running, farming, and more farming and chest running. (Sometimes I merchant, but I usually fail.)

If you want you can post how you made your money as well xP

Hacking other peoples accounts and taking all their cash.

JK . . but not really.

Brianna · Nov 27, 2007, 05:31 AM // 05:31

Farming Underworld, that's how I got most of my stuff, probably farmed 1,500 Ectos or so now, lol, and of course doing the average subsidiary stuff, soloing/missions/vanquishing.

God that makes me realize how bored I am of this game.

Magikarp · Nov 27, 2007, 05:32 AM // 05:32

made almost all of my hard earned money by playing a lot, and selling everything, keeping only what i needed or really wanted for my main characters.

after i made about 400k, i bought some rare minis, and now i have pretty much anything you could want as a warrior or assassain in the game....

only thing i dont have...

a req8 or 7 max fellblade.... one day.... one day...

Snow Bunny · Nov 27, 2007, 05:40 AM // 05:40

15 months

2 suits of fow
7 suits of 15k

Elemental Swords, Colossal Scimis, 2 Voltaic Spears. Black Aureate Aegis shield set (7 shields

)

a q9 15^50 shinobi blade
q8 15^50 broadsword
Req 11 15^50 tyrian cryst
Tormented Axe, Sword, Staff.

That's all I got that's cool.

No power farming, no power trading.

It's called "Ecto prices are 5k in difference between certain districts, and no one knows that."

So...a lot of lucky drops and...yeah. Luck

800K, just from selling stuff in Kamadan over the last 6 months.

creelie · Nov 27, 2007, 05:44 AM // 05:44

Not as effective as I am at spending it. I mostly just play the game, and I'm able to fully equip new characters pretty much whenever I want - though when I made 3 at once I had to stagger their progress. Regular play for 1.5 years has allowed me to get UAS and Vabbian armor on my monk.

chowmein69 · Nov 27, 2007, 06:01 AM // 06:01

i only get oney frmo vanquishing areas now

Winterclaw · Nov 27, 2007, 06:07 AM // 06:07

Not very good at it. I never farm UW and don't get good drops.

Kusandaa · Nov 27, 2007, 06:12 AM // 06:12

29 months. Currently at 50k in storage (lol =_=).

Armor:
4 sets of FoW (necro, para, dervish, monk) and 25 other elite/15k sets on my characters (necro only has 7, excluding his FoW). Have some side stuff like Dread mask on necro, glasses on necro and ranger, Deldrimor coat on ranger.

Weapons:
Nothing extraordinary, but I really love them... req10 Legendary sword and req13 Gothic sword, both caster modded, shared by monk and necro; Gloom shields on necro and warrior; Aureate aegis on rit, ele, paragon, monk; req9 Shadow axe caster modded; req9 Draconic and Greater Guardian spears that I need to mod; req10 inscribable fellblade modded for my monk; req10 Greater Sage Blade modded for my rit... higher req. weaponry for my warrior (req12 15^50 chaos axe, req11 15^50 oni blade) and my ranger (req12 +5e skull longbow, req9 15^50 skull recurve, req9 Ironwing Flat)

Farmed DoA intensively for a couple weeks, got 2 sets of FoW armors in a bit over a month; trying to recover from second set, lost will to farm regularly.

Currently working on titles for my necro, finding uses for my assassin, and getting my mesmer further into Prophecies and Nightfall. Also helping husband in GW.

So in general I guess I'm effective... when I want to. Otherwise I don't really care as long as I have some kinda leeway into it. 50k's enough for my current expenses, when I'll need to farm I will. Few days probably, some low-end farms (Halcyon Job to gain enough cloth for my assassin's next set, and some extra cash while I'm at it).

holababe · Nov 27, 2007, 06:14 AM // 06:14

Don't have the time to farm much but when I want to buy something (within reason) i always have the money for it.
So I figure I'm fine.

Omniclasm · Nov 27, 2007, 06:19 AM // 06:19

In one week, went from zero to buying a Kuunavang for my friend, then a week after that buying 3 sets of GW:EN armor.

Roshi_ikkyu · Nov 27, 2007, 06:34 AM // 06:34

I'll cut out the entire inventory/ storage part and just jump to the important section....

i suck and would like to know how all you do it so well............

Wolf2581 · Nov 27, 2007, 07:04 AM // 07:04

I have been playing since August 2005, and I have ten level-20 characters with max weapons, each holding 50K (500K), and with a total of 26 sets of max armor (150-200K + materials). I have purchased and completely outfitted my guild hall (~20K + 480K) and have given 100K to each of three guild members (300K). My storage is holding the rest of my gold (~700K), common materials up the ass, and a respectable collection of rare materials.

After two years of playing normal PvE, three months of green farming doubled my liquid assets. After acquiring and outfitting all 250 heroes across my characters, I might go silly and get my first set of 15K armor.

Well my progress was pretty long... I've started by farming really low-end stuff, usually with henchies since I wanted more loot (was way back... before the AoE nerfs). Now that I had some cash, I could afford skills, and eventually armor, runes, and slightly better equipment. Eventually started to farm SF after taking a long break, made cash to sustain another character and get better armor for both chars.

More characters, more possibilities. Learned more farms, more builds. Moved so solo builds for a while. Then you realize that the cash you made and just used to buy stuff, you can make back rather quickly. Then you have a desire to aim higher, and higher... find better farms, afford better stuff, realize it won't be enough, find better farms... since and repeat.

That's how I did it.

cdgsax · Nov 27, 2007, 08:01 AM // 08:01

Let's see

1.5 years playing

800K in bank

27 elite armors spread across 8 chars

Done various farms in the past, but I farm Tombs and UW occasionally, and Elemental Swords (sell them) and repeat

Done this playing 2-3 hours a day (8-12 on weekends)

upier · Nov 27, 2007, 08:05 AM // 08:05

The last time I farmed was Turai with my rt/r.
Then came "the pve balance".

I play the game - and I am broke most of the time.
But after having reached tier 5 in Lucky and KNOWING I'll never get to max - I really don't care that much about it. It's not sweet - but that finally gives me time to play through REmake and RE0 on my Cube. Plus I SOOOO need to get Killer7.

kobey · Nov 27, 2007, 12:49 PM // 12:49

In the past:
If i am lucky... 500k in 2 days from trading
If i am hardworking... 2000k from 3 weeks of mission running + trading

Now:
I am neither hardworking nor lucky...

Bankai · Nov 27, 2007, 01:00 PM // 13:00

12 months (or 13, too lazy to check), 1 full elite set.

I'm a PvPer and don't farm.
