Default How do you earn money ?

Well I have all 10 chars. I also have all 4 areas

Well all in all I just wounder how I can earn money for titles like sweet tooths, druknard and party...

I have 26 maxed out titles and out of money because I used them on armor sets.

Well I have not played for a long time now and just woundering where can you earn a decent amount of money..Something like 10k in 15-20 min

I hope anyone have good ideas because I would like to get some profit again and I suppose that selling is really bad considering that prices have been going down since long long time ago.

Powertrading is always a good way to make money.

Farming special event items is can be decent too.

You cant. The economy is broken. These days you cant even make 1k in 10-15 minutes; but if you insist i guess your best chance would be power trading, which unfortunately is not much fun.

Is it really so fu** these days, with the prices are there any idea how I can obtain "Druknard, sweetooth & party stuff".

And there must be some decent farming places too, somewhere.

That's quite an unrealistic expectation ... try 10k per hour and you'll find many guides in the farming section.

Or, since you're aiming for drunkard, you can farm Singed Gargoyle Skulls in anticipation of the next Wintersday. It is possible to farm the equivalent of 30-40k of skulls per hour, and you can convert any surplus to booze and sell it to other players.

For party items, Canthan New Year is your friend, and for sweet tooth you mustn't miss Dragon Festival - although you can't farm in advance it is possible to gain about 5k sweet points during the festival weekend (maxed mine in 2007 when the festival was held twice ).

sell gold unids 5k for 7. Farm them in the snowmen dungeon or from raptors in HM. Raptor farms take less than a minute per run and usually net atleast one gold each run.

I agree. Farming isn't worth the effort anymore, the drop rates are ridiculously low. As for powertrading, you need a lot of patience.
Not so long ago I wanted to sell a non-inscr. r9 Chaos Axe for 50k and the only whispers I got were questions whether it's inscribable (duh...). The buyers market is messed up and that's why it takes ages to sell anything and so the prices go down. It's just so damn hard to sell anything. At the moment my storage is clogged up with gold weapons and mods, as no one wants to buy them. Is that supposed to be a healthy economy?

Trading is a good thing here currently. The problem is, you HAVE to have a decent amount of money. (Talking about 100-200k in your pocket)

With that money, i managed to get 20-30k an hour with making consets or trading ectos.

You can also try as trappers in PVP to get 5000 faction to trade into zkeys. You can sell those for 4.9k around each. If you are lucky, and you open the z-chest, and get a everlasting trapdoor tonic=> 700-900k earned immediately

Well is it still easy to farm Zaishen Elite for Baltzar factions ?

Have done some AB before but is there an easier way to obtain more baltazar points ?

If you want to get money by selling Z-keys you cannot afford to not partake in Xunlai predictions, it's a pile of free zippys every month. If you have several accounts multiply the size of that pile by the number of accounts, too.

I plan to stop once I hit rank 3 just for the HoM. Gold spear is good enough for me. All your excess cash can go to my bank. Just saying.

Bonus Mission Pack, if you have it. You can earn 7,500 for each mission if you meet all three requirements. The warrior's mision is the easiest in my opinion. You can clear it in 15mins and make 7,500g. There are four missions and if you have 10 characters, that's 40 x 7,500 = 300,000. Oh, and the missions are repeatable, so....
