Introduction

What will this guide do for me? Well it will show you what is needed to create a conset (in sets of 5), how to obtain the needed materials, and demonstrates builds that I feel are the fastest for obtaining said materials. Except bone...1.5k for a stack of bone is nothing...I do supply a build but it is by no means fast, just fun to run every once in a while. Now that you know how to get consets, we will explore how consets can make you RICH.

Requirements (for my builds)

1. You need EOTN - Duh
2. A well rounded Sin
3. A lovely Elementalist
4. TIME.

What is a Conset?

Most of us here know and love the conset, but if you are one of the unlucky few who do not know what a conset is, I shall enlighten you. Consets are consumable items that a lot of popular team builds (such as UWSC, FOWSC, and others) use to obtain top end drops.

A conset is made up of 1 Essence of Celerity, 1 Armor of Salvation, and 1 Grail of Might. In this thread we will be making consets in groups of 5. Meaning that for our farms we are aiming for...

500 Iron
500 Dust
250 Bone
250 Feathers

Seems like a lot doesn't it? Well it will go by fast. You will also need 15 skill points and 3,750g to actually craft them. So to the nitty gritty.

Farming IRON

Uggghhh.... This is hands down the WORST material you will have to farm. Iron is obtained from salvaging metal weapons, such as swords or axes. When farming for iron I recommend using standard salvaging kits so you don't get unwanted rare materials. The build that I have found to be the fastest at accumulating 500 iron is the good old trusty kegway....without the keg of course. Usually the HM vaetirr's drop a good bit of highlander blades, that paired with the fact that the monsters are right beside a zone and presto, iron farming.

The build I use is A/me perma.
Template = OwVTMY/8ZiHZJQnhF0GEGwEABCA

Skills
1. Deathly Paradox
2. Arcane Echo
3. Shadow Form
4. Ether Nightmare
5. Cry of Pain
6. Spirit of Failure
7. Channeling
8. Heart of Shadows

Stats
16 Shadow Arts
12 Inspiration
3 Deadly Arts

This build is very very safe. The only problem is that the Arcane echo rotation is a little difficult for beginners. Basically cast 1, 2, 3, then wait until 3 recharges to the bottom left corner and cast the echo SF. Here is a video of the build in action.

Kegway Minus the Keg

Farming DUST

This material is one of my favorites to farm because it usually drops in stacks of 30. You will be killing Fog Nightmares outside of Temple of Ages. I know there are a staggering amount of builds out there for the fogs but this is the one I think is the swiftest.

The build is E/mo (slash slash

)

Template = OgNDoMrPOg1hIv4WUWpF4C6B

Skills
1. Glyph of Restoration
2. Double Dragon
3. Flame Burst
4. Inferno
5. Flame Djinns Haste
6. Aura of Restoration
7. Fire Attunement
8. Life Attunement

Stats
Fire 16
Energy Storage 11
Protection Prayers 8

Exit TOA and head east towards the Cursed Lands zone. Once you get to the rez shrine there head south and kill all the fogs along the way. Follow the map in the video below. Remember to die and rezone so you can do multiple runs.

Killing - Precast 6, 7, 8 obviously and right before aggro cast glyph of resto. Aggro and wait for them to bunch up then cast 2, 3, 4, 5 and pick up loot.

How it works - Fogs are basically sacrificial spike builds so you use glyph of restoration to give yourself a counter spike of health (200+ for each spell) and do massive damage at the same time.

Remember to salvage those remnants

Farming BONE

Honestly there is no reason you should farm bone. As cheap as it is right now just go to spamadon and buy a stack for 1.5k. If you insist though, farming bone is as easy as stepping outside Bergen Hotsprings with a 55 monk. But in the interest of completion, here is a Ele bone farm in Gates of Kryta.

Template = OgNDkMrNOfVQSqTV4KMFyDRC

Skills
1. Stoneflesh Aura
2. Healing Breeze
3. Shockwave
4. Earthquake
5. Aftershock
6. Kinetic Armor
7. Balth's Spirit
8. Mending.

Stats
Earth 16
Energy Storage 11
Healing 8

Meh, enter mission then take first left. Drag against the northmost ledge to spawn more mobs, check video for this. Follow path and just before aggroing the mob cast kinetic followed by Stoneflesh. Keep kinetic up with HB and kill the first small group of graspings. Then a flood of mobs will head your way. Ball them up and take them out.

Yet another GOK

Farming FEATHERS

This is another one of my favorites. This build alone can net you around 20k an hour, but you get more out of it making consets. I know there are a TON of feather farming builds and 3 different popular locations. This one is from SeiTung Harbor. I'm proud of this build because it clears the zone in 9 mins per run.

Template = OgVDMoysOg1hIvoseLoF4ikA

Skills
1. Glyph of Restoration
2. Double Dragon
3. Flame Burst
4. Flame Djinn's Haste
5. Inferno
6. Aura of Restoration
7. Fire Attunement
8. Physical Resistance

Stats
Fire 16
Energy Storage 11
Inspiration 8

Same concept as the Dust farming, just built to move between groups with great speed. Check the video for complete run. Usually between 80-150 feathers a run.

Making the Consets

Now that we have the materials required for making the consets, where do you go next? Well in short...

Rata Sum - Essence of Celerity
Gunner's Hold - Grail of Might
Central Transfer Chamber - Armor of Salvation

As said before you need 15 skill points and 3,750g

I have 5 consets....now what?

Glad you asked! There are 3 different things you can do to profit from you hard work. They are...

1. Sell them for 8k a piece - (40k)
2. Start UWSC groups charging 1k per person - (35k and 5 runs of UWSC of drops.)
3. Sell then MERCH

The quickest way to profit is to sell them outright, but I personally like to make my own pugs and net some ecto as well. Even 2 ecto will cover your crafting costs and over 5 runs you will most likely get more than that. Either way, congrats! You just made 40+k

But how does this make me rich?

Well technically it doesn't, it just gets you a chunk of change to start the process. Here is the great secret of this guide. Merching Consets.

I will say that this is by no means the fastest way to make money, far from it, but I do feel that this is the fastest most CONSISTENT way to make money. Here is how it works.

You need -
500 iron
500 dust
250 bone
250 feathers

Ok, lets say you already made 5 and are sitting on 40k. Now buy the materials from people in spamadon for these prices.

Iron - 3.5k/stack
Dust - 2.5k/stack
Bone - 1.5k/stack
Feathers - 10k/stack

(DO NOT tell me these prices are wrong, I've done this far to many times to argue about price.)

Total spent in materials = 23.5k
Money needed to craft = 3.75k
Total cash spent on Cons = 27,250g

Now you just spent 27k on 5 cons, go sell them for 8k apiece. Nets you an easy 12,750g. Time consuming for little payoff when you just start. But if you have more money to start with, lets say... 300k

20 stacks of Iron - 70k
20 stacks of Dust - 50k
10 stacks of Bone - 15k
10 stacks of Feathers - 100k
Cost to create cons - 37.5k
Total spent on cons = 272.5k

Total profit after selling = 127.5k !!!!

To buy that many materials, craft and resell takes about 2 hours currently. Because of the constant demand for consets it isn't very hard to make a TON of money by doing next to nothing.

In closing.

In short, there is a lot of money to be made in the conset industry, and now you know how. Make of it what you will, but enjoy my guide nontheless.

Nice work. This is very well put together.

aleaf92 · Jul 30, 2009, 07:19 PM // 19:19

looks good
nice job

Bob Slydell · Jul 30, 2009, 07:26 PM // 19:26

This guide is excellent!

I suck at farming tho so I don't know exactly how I'm gonna pull that off, but i'd love to do this to make some nice plat.

Ambuu · Jul 30, 2009, 07:29 PM // 19:29

Definitely will try this to get more money

IronSheik · Jul 30, 2009, 07:40 PM // 19:40

I prefer just buying Dark remains from people in ToA or doing SoO for dust, Fogs don't look oh so plentiful.

Then I recommend that you at least try fogs...there are more down there than you think. I average about 90-240 dust a run, a run being 6 mins.

i actually read that xD

nice guide =D

Question, How much money would you say you can generate at an hourly rate with this?

With strictly farming...lemme think...If your quick with the builds and buy the bone I don't think it's unresonable to obtain roughly 30k-40k an hour. IF your merching I have gotten 500k profit in 4 hours before. That generally depends on who is selling materials at the time...but there is always someone.

Legendary Jamie · Jul 30, 2009, 08:19 PM // 20:19

You fool! Now how will I make money without having to do anything but spam WTB Mats and WTS Consets.....

But really good job, guide is very clear and well laid out.

gw_poster · Jul 30, 2009, 09:15 PM // 21:15

I used to be in this business, it is good. Helps to have a lot of spare skill points to start out with. Another pro tip: Deldrimor Steel Ingot crafting (farm charcoal/dust/iron (usually just buy the iron) - HM fire imps outside North Kryta) - I don't even bother trying to spam WTS at 750g per...just sell to trader for 650-750 depending on the day...still make loads off of it

headgear56 · Jul 30, 2009, 09:43 PM // 21:43

Very nice job. Will have to try this with my sin and ele.

Expherious · Jul 30, 2009, 09:59 PM // 21:59

Now I finally have something to do with the 5k bones ive gotten from CoF

Moonstalker · Jul 30, 2009, 10:13 PM // 22:13

How often do people actually buy Consets, though? I sit in ToA every so often, and I only see people selling the Consets, never buying. How fast can you sell these?

They are needed for the speed clears, so once a group is ready,they will buy a set. As there are so many people selling them there is no need to spam any WTBs, just pick a seller. Only problem is finding the sellers for the mats, other than feathers which are easy to buy at 10k/stack (if you dont wish to farm)

Enable · Jul 30, 2009, 10:26 PM // 22:26

thanks!
you can add farming location?

Calor Estalle · Jul 30, 2009, 11:48 PM // 23:48

First, I think this is a very well-written guide and I'm thinking of making an investment in this, then selling the consets for large profits. I know you don't want a discussion on prices, but I'm sitting in American D1 of Kamadan right now, and I see iron at 5k a stack and dust at 3.5k. If the prices are consistently 25%+ higher, then the profit margins considerably decrease, and this "farm" falls back down to earth...

Kaffatsum · Jul 31, 2009, 12:00 AM // 00:00

Very nice guide!
I use a 55 nec build for fog/dust farming but im sure to try yours

can u plz show pics or route area for your feather farm?
i am currently farming outside LA for feathers, nets around 30-90feathers in 8-10 min

Just a note on this, I popped into ToA earlier and saw about 5 people spamming WTS consets 8k.
