I've taken a break from PvP'ing and I'm trying to make some gold on my PvE characters. There is rank discrimination even in pve, with the ursan crap demanding that you be level 9/10. I cannot find any groups that don't ask for ursan, and don't know alot of people to pve with. Me and a rl friend have been wanting to buy voltiac spears for a while now, but there is practically no way to make gold without having to grind a ursan r10 (which i really don't want to do, seeing how its so hated)

Any ideas?

do slavers runs and get yourself a voltaic spear from the chests.

Go back to pvp and trade your zkeys for 5k ea

TechnoSword · Jul 12, 2008, 08:52 AM // 08:52

Yeah continuing to pvp get some zkeys to sell and maybe with the money buy a runner to do fill HM dungeon books for you max your norn out and booyah? Or just sell the zkeys till you get it =P

Did a PvP dude just complain about PvE rank discrimination?

Winds · Jul 12, 2008, 08:57 AM // 08:57

I tried doing slavers exile like 20 times, with 2 people and the rest heros. Getting wiped everytime.. and no other people in Grotto want to do NM, especially if we aren't doing just duncan.

Yeah, either z-keys for cash, or start doing Hero Fast Faction Farming.

Winds · Jul 12, 2008, 09:01 AM // 09:01

hero fast faction farming? what is that?

Gun Pierson · Jul 12, 2008, 09:08 AM // 09:08

Why do you need an Ursan team in the first place? UW run isn't worth the trouble, same with DoA unless you can join experienced ursan teams who can play a full run HM. Double the gems that way.

Anyway some ideas:

Farm materials for con sets like feathers in Nahpui.
Solo or Duo farm ectos.
Trade in faction for Z-keys as well as tournament predictions.
Farm zasihen elite.
Farm fow (spider cave) for shards, oldskool style. Either solo or in a 4 men team.
etc.

Visit the farm forum.

HFFF is a boring grind, but will net you a couple of millions if you bring people with you for 100g a run each. Check the wiki for what it stands for.

i find it surprising you dont have any money from pvping and u cant do slavers with heroes 20 times, u cant learn from your mistakes or u just fail.

I can't talk. I get it both ways. Only r3 in PvP and tired of farming norn, so only r5 in Ursan.

My advice to the OP is to check out the PvX. There are some easy to run builds for beating the great destroyer, shiro, etc. You can do those runs for cash. Or run people around Kryta/Northern Shiverpeaks/Ascalon. Also check out some of the boss farming builds and just try and go after 1 or 2 bosses with good drops, and sell greens. And don't forget your free buried treasures in nightfall.

Hold the press!
Did a mighty PvPer just say that there is something in PvE that he can NOT do!??!
*faints*

Maybe you should try it blindfolded with one hand tied behind your back - with Frenzy/Mending and auto attack skills only. That's the advice I always get from the PvP crowd regarding PvE.

Winds · Jul 12, 2008, 09:32 AM // 09:32

lol mighty pvp'er? take it easy, not mighty at all. i don't run around ranking people and could give two craps less about what the rank of my teammates are, as usually are good friends ive made over the past couple months anyways. and yeah, theres alot of pve things i cannot do, like doing slavers exile or clearing UW.

Payback!!1

(Thanks for being a good sport about it!

Okay first thing ignore that daft stuff Winds, some folk get a flaming from PvP'ers and then think if they now flame you it makes them just as 'leet'; and if leet translates to stupid then indeed it does

Now OT:- It really depends on what you play and where. Personally I'm never short on cash and I do that simply by playing the game in HM.
I'm not big on PUGs so I tend to avoid DoA, FoW and UW, and as you say r10 Ursan is a must for those.
However there are much easier options that will still allow you to make a bit. Look into wurms, there are a few areas that will pay out okay and you can take 4/8 with hero's. You may only make 5-10k a hour, but it is stress free and straight forward.
Do HM pretty much anywhere and you can make a bit.

Those are just some easy options off the top of my head; look in the farming section and you can easily find a farm that suits you and won't require r10 anything.

HTH and good hunting.

Yes he did, can you believe it? lol Just another one that wants things to be his way instead of playing the game as it IS intended not WAS intended.

PvP'ers make gold out of Zkeys mainly as i have thought
they go for 5k each and are very wanted
and ursan isn't that profitable, for an UW run you can get a few ectos in an hour or so
just do something else cuz ectos aren't that good anymore
your best bet is to sell zkeys if you earn loads of baltha faction
or check out some of the popular farms that are going on and look profitable to you

Learn to run a Dungeon and you will have millions in days. no joke so many ppl come along on a dungeon run and they never take 'that' long to do.
