Ok I am wondering how ppl get so much money. I currently do the Griffon Run.

So I was wondering what everyone does to make money. Please add your input. Also if you think that what you do is very good/helpful plz add how/what you do. ty.

What you can search for is basically all you will find. All it takes is time.

Any gold or pruple items don` sell to the shop they rip u off!

When monsters drop gold... click on it. It will add it to your gold, then you will have more.

UW soloing, griffon run, pre-nerfing the shit out of us fortunes - that s about it, basically it's not as easy as it was to farm for gold but it's still possible

Larry the Hippo · Aug 27, 2005, 03:47 PM // 15:47

dont be afraid to spend time selling items for like1-2k i made me firdt 100k thats way =).

selling is a game of experience, the more you do it, the better you get.

Excuse me but Ive done a lot of griffon runs and I never have had 1 single gold item. Maybe 1 purple. Am I just unlucky?

TheKanidate · Aug 27, 2005, 05:59 PM // 17:59

Money really isn't that big a concern of mine. Right now I have around 15k, which isn't very much at all. However, if I really need money I'll just buy whatever item is cheap at the time, and sell it for a higher price later. Buying things in bulk helps with the buy-low sell-high idea as you get more profit that way. But if you really want to make money I find that often times I have to take a whole two hour slot of time just to do that, and that takes away time from the GW campaign and PvP.

So most of the time I don't worry about money. I worry about playing the game.

i Just run ppl from beacons perch to droknars for 2k each so i earn quick money also i take much items for low prize and sell them for high prize !

AngelWars · Aug 27, 2005, 07:33 PM // 19:33

what are the skills you use for that run

Jeddak · Aug 27, 2005, 08:48 PM // 20:48

By the time you get to droknar's the normal way you will easily have enough gold to buy the armor there. And since you can get armor just as good from the collectors in the desert there really is no reason to spend the gold anyway. Unless you can't play the game without the crutch of armor meant for later in the game or need to parade around in the pretty overpriced junk with the same protection as droknar's. I never even notice what people are wearing.
