Hey guys, well im sure you've gotten like a million threads asking "how do i make money" and such...well heres another one. I have tried 55ing. I usually farm the troll cave and get a half-way decent turnout, but lately AoE has been screwed up so now the troll cave is slow. I have also tried the UW and just about never get an ecto. I'm thinkin about running but havent found a decent build yet. The reason I need money is because I am saving up for Primeval armor at the end of Nightfall, which costs a bit under 100k total. (I am a male warrior)

If you have any tips I would be very appreciative, and if you can get me a good running build i would be greatly appreciative. Thanks!

There is plenty of running builds already posted on guru.

Best way to make money is not to spend any..salvage or merch ALL white/non-max items etc the little bits soon add up plus there is always the chance you will get a gold drop along the way.

I started a new warrior in nightfall. I have made about 35k so far, just by not spending any money. Use a little selfcontroll and you would be amazed by the amount of cash you can save up.

Like random said, you can make quite a lot of money just by playing Nightfall and not spending the money you get.

Other than that, I'd say you should find 1 farm run you're comfortable with, and then stick to it.

Running is most profitable. Doesnt take much time if u think about all those times you've been trying to farm the greens or the time it takes to make a profit off of those chest runs. I think it is a steady income.

Dr Imperial · Nov 05, 2006, 06:50 PM // 18:50

well could you point me out to where i can find running builds because i cant seem to find any...

Running is too time conusming to be worth looking at, considering the "locked gate" system that is in place in most Factions areas and some NF areas people are not really screaming out for runners. There is plenty of talented runners who can get runs or went out of business.

Look into finding new spots for farming..yes that will require doing something besides soloing for a while.

Dr Imperial · Nov 06, 2006, 12:53 AM // 00:53

no soloing!!???

*gasp*

Bloodied Blade · Nov 06, 2006, 02:44 AM // 02:44

Just solo FoW or something with a ranger or warrior...I r/me FoW and get 2-4 shards a run along with 2-10k in gold + drops (yes, I did actually have a run this morning that netted me 2 shards and a bunch of stuff that sold altogether for 10k or so)...the whole run takes like 30 minutes or so.

Dr Imperial · Nov 06, 2006, 11:55 PM // 23:55

well yea i would like to do that. i tried looking at one of witte was's builds for solo UW and it was nice but i didnt have any luck with it. i think its just something that needs practice but ysee its annoying when i have to pay 1k everytime.

Gavilan · Nov 07, 2006, 03:17 PM // 15:17

You need to have money to make money

Sounds a bit cryptic admittedly but for example when you start out to make a bankroll you should start whith easy targets, as it was in the olden days trolls, minos etc.
When you have some K´s in your invent focus on more profitable areas like FoW or UW, thats how i started and i bet i wasnt alone.

Also its good training to start whith easier targets and move up, instead of wasting money trying to do something that is too hard (for the moment)

buying cheap and sell for more works well, i often earn 15k on 1 item because i just bought it for the low price the seller was asking

Charqus · Nov 07, 2006, 07:33 PM // 19:33

I make about 15k an hour by soloing the FoW spider cave

Dr Imperial · Nov 07, 2006, 08:45 PM // 20:45

i already have 70k -_-'

but i need more so that i can get primevel armor. for the armor i need about 80-90k.

some im in the home stretch....just gotta train myself to not spend any. cept makin new builds.....i have to spend the money on the skills and such. but its workin out alright.

Trylo · Nov 07, 2006, 09:07 PM // 21:07

i make 8k around 15 minutes or so (including time it takes to get people) from running people from Copperhammer/Iron Mines/THK to marhans grotto... but that is prophecies so idk if that helps much

Dr Imperial · Nov 07, 2006, 11:48 PM // 23:48

i have all of them. proph factions and nightfall. so i could consider that.

Bloodied Blade · Nov 08, 2006, 01:45 AM // 01:45

Warrior farm *FoW* (not UW, that's insanely hard with a warrior to learn) nets around 5 shards per run + drops & gold (around 45min - 1 hour, hard to make a full run due to spawns). Ranger fow nets around 3 shards per run + drops and gold (around 30-35 minutes per run, very easy because spawns never change other than the running part).

novawhiz · Nov 08, 2006, 12:46 PM // 12:46

What solo FoW builds are u using for warrior?

I still need hundred blades for solo FoW i think.

Guildmaster Cain · Nov 08, 2006, 02:14 PM // 14:14

Best way would be: spend a day working at MacDonalds or whatever... earn 50-100$. Ebay 1 million gold on internet with that money.

~100k per hour
