Armor and weapons cost so much, the materials too, so I'm just bewildered at how people can have that much gold to spend. Like right now I can't even upgrade my armor at Kaineng Center @_@.

Anyway I was just wondering if any of you can give a newbie like me some advice. It's greatly appreciated =)

Some tips:

1. Do every quest, every mission. Redeem the rewards they give you at the collectors for the item worth the most money (normally an experience scroll or a superior salvage kit). Sell that item to the merchant.

2. Don't spend money on things you don't need or use. Don't buy every skill. Use collector items and weapons. Save up for the armor you truly want.

3. Instead of leaving town with a max party, try doing things with less players/AI. Yes, there is a thing called "loot scaling" in place, but you still earn much more money by reducing the number of players/AI in your party than if you always go out in max-sized parties.

4. Pick up EVERYTHING. Every dropped item, even if white, should be picked up and sold to the merchant.

I've shown before that in Factions you'll earn in excess of 50,000 gold if you follow those guidelines, without considering any drops you get. The key is patience with your money, instead of spending it the moment you get the chance.

When you get NF you can go "treasure hunting" a.k.a. getting all the hidden treasures in the game. Earns about 15k per char assuming you have 6 chars at that point 15x6=90k every month

My advice is to search here on guru before posting a question that's been asked by hundreds before you.
