Backround info:

I had made 100K within the first week of playing this game about 2-3 hours per day. I do not and have never farmed, used bugs, exploits or scammed anyone. I never have gotten a single item worth over 10K before I had over 100K and that item was a Major Vigior.

My question:

Why do people say gold is hard to come by? It has never been a problem for me and I never started doing PvP until I had beat the game and had all the armor/weapons and runes I want. I buy the runes I dont find them. I can make about 1-2K in literally 30 seconds of gameplay when I try to.

And if you say I'm scamming does this count. Going to Droknors Forge and saying "i will pay 3K for BLACK DYE - Whisper if selling" if some fool is stupid enough to sell to me without looking at what the dye trader will pay for his dye is it my fault?

you're techinally not scamming, but you're taking advantage of the system

nothing wrong with it. its the other person's fault

nothing wrong with arbitrage/speculation to earn money

I don't have the patience to deal with retards in trade channels so I just farm instead for gold when I need it but it's certainly a good way to get money.

It has never been hard to earn money. But it did used to be hard to earn skill points, but they fixed that, so its all good in the neighborhood now.... bout time though

LOL I don't have the patience to deal with them either. I either see someone say like WTS: (insert comidity here) and ask what price they are selling for. If its a good price I will by it and go resell it later but I only buy stuff that has a trader as other stuff gets way to hard to sell sometimes and takes way to long.

Now that I have money I keep a pretty steady check on sigil prices and when the trader is selling for 65K and under I can get a sigil pretty cheap then I just go on doing whatever and when the price at the trader hits lke 75k and above I go to LA and post WTS: Celestial Sigil and I can sell it in like 3 miniutes for 5K less than what the trader will sell it for.

Do this once a day and you have a steady supply of money.

same old same old,

have morals & ethics= no money , no morals or ethics = Richie Rich

Capitalisation... Maybe soon theyll start giving us some coinage for all missions then ppl like me who always lose out in trade trying to get the right price wont have to bother anymore trying to spend hours in the market & money/trading with profithunters will soon come to an end.

as for getting money from mobs .. only item ive had that sold relativly quick a few bob less then npc was black dye.

& yes 333hrs+ & im still sitting under 10k .. & no i dont have any superior/major runes & my set is all Droknars.

ahhh but i have 250k+ EXP & completed nearly everything upto 2nd co-op of last island(cant remember name of top of head) not to mention a ton of unlocked skills,

i wonder if it works like that ? do you lose exp to farm & get rich ? or are you getting the best of both worlds?

I dont farm qnd hqve never farmed and I have about 200K xp and have beat the game on 2 chars so far but I deleted one by mistake and lost some good items o well. and anyone who sells before looking at the traders prices deserves what they get.

BTW I dump random good items on people for no reason
