dont worry about farming or drops. go to tombs, get experienced and skilled, and then the gold will come in time (in the form of sigils). this paid off for me because i have heard horror stories about how much people farm and still have only 100k, whereas i was able to get more skill (rather than mindless farming), get fame and faction (you can unlock everything for future pvp), and afford fissure armor (the goods) within a month or so.

no you can only use perfect weapons and upgrades on pvp characters, and the items are personalized and not salvagable. sorry.

he meant..the more fame and faction you get...the more experienced you are becoming, and winning in HOH gives you sigils which usually go for 25-40k..depending on the market. In time the money adds up.

This is probably covered somewhere, but whats the max amount of gold that
can be put in storage? and am i right in thinking that 100k is the max for a player to carry.

I had that much before when i farmed lots with my monk and drops from griffons were still good and when tengu in riverside were still easy and viable.

Slowly making my way back up through some farming, running and trading.

Solo farming and running will work as well. Too many runners for Beacon's to Droknar's Forge but for a while the going rate (afaik) was 5k per person per run. Considering it takes about 30min for the run and recruiting a full party in about 15 minutes, that's roughly 40k/hour.

Dance for gold lol.

Actually, I've gotten into rune farming now. The rewards are inconsistant, but that's the fun in it; one run I get nothing worth over 200g, the other I found a Sup Vigor, Sup Protection, and a 10/10 Bowstring.

This message is to all who are poor and desperate for a lot of gold. I do a lot of farming and I have to say green farm is the best. I am currently running a group who would like to farm non stop. I try to farm for at least 3 hours a day in sf, and so far I have more than 15 members in my group. I only add their name in the list if they appear to be good and message them if I farm. We clear SF or FA around 25 mins from start to finish. Each runs we get avarage about 2 drops. Well my gf is here so i have to go. All i have to say is GREEN FARM. Reply to this message if u would like to be in the group and i'll give u a tryout run ty.

this says 'not a farming thread'. the conclusion is that you should farm to get money?

I've made most of my money from farming green items.. One run I got both a razorstone and rago's staff, and that alone got me 200k.

hmm the most money i've ever had is 400k... it took me awhile to figure out how to earn money which was quite frankly just patience. I simply trade, i don't buy whats low and wait till its high... i buy whats high for low... Many players do it oft times you'll be selling something and you'll get someone who offers from 1k-10k. Why because you'll find people that will sell things for low amounts of money. I made around 600k from finding uninformed players and buying either valuable weapons (once bought a max dmg 14>50 req 9 sephis axe for 5k..) and buying them at a price were i can easily make a profit. The thing to this it involves time patience and asking at any time. Also not paying more then 5k, on a item you may or may not salvage. I think my shinning achievement was buying a 30 hp axe haft for 62k then selling it here for 120k.. either that or when i sold my +5 energy sword for 150k... regardless i also used to farm excessively and do alot of runs. But now... i really don't do pve at all.. its quite ironic it bores me and i realized how pointless getting money is.. why do you need to pay from 60-100k for a 10/10 when a 10/8 is 10k... i mean come on.. 2/100 chance different... or 28 hp grips and 30 hp.. it really doesn't matter 13% compared to 15% whats the difference maybe 3 or 4 dmg.. 15k fow armor and 1.5k drok armor whats the difference one costs sooo much. and one costs 20k for a whole set.. all it does is attach you to various characters... personally money is of little consquence to me...
