How do you make money?

[artvan_delet]

At your Level and upcoming levels, the following quests have a ton of chests:
Irestone Inlet
Redwillows
Gwylen's Stand
Stormcleave
Tempest Spine

All of these quests have LFMS for them all day long.
Also, don't discount a +3 stat item, I sell them, and buy them all the time on the AH--just put a buy out price.

If you have a friend or guild that wouldn't mind helping you transfer items, it pays to make a haggle character. You don't even need to level them beyond Rank 2 of level 1 to have a decent haggle.

Human Bard
CHA - 18, STR -16 (unless 32pt, but irrelevant really)
Skills - max haggle, perform, blah blah
Feats - Negotiator, Skill Focus: Haggle
Items - Haggle +3, Charisma +1 (+1 CON Tome if you can).
Enhancements - Bard Haggle I, Human Versatility I

This will place your boosted haggle at 20 (with the tome, 19 w/o), and you will see a 50% increase in the prices that the brokers offer you for your goods. That adds up.

Use that to sell off all the pure trash that you loot, and use the AH to sell off things that are decent (race-restricted vanilla stat items, vanilla stat items, elemental +1 weapons (ml2), etc, etc). As stated above, posting with a reasonable buyout will ensure that you aren't wasting your (and other people's) time.

Worth considering at least, imo.

Hi I'm a newbie. My character is Voxin. I have managed to claw my way to level 6 now, but I dont have much to show for it. My poor fighter cant afford a decent weapon, and all the cash I managed to make I spent on a docent. How are all you guys making your cash? I am constantly being bombarded with spam about buying plat for real money, but that to me takes all the fun out of the game. I'd rather work for it, but I dont know the best way to go. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! (PS, I gladly will accept scraps!)

play the game, loot many chests

thats how you make money

[Dragonhyde]

Loot everything in the chest under your name....I got in the habit long ago to grab collectibles and anything that drops from broken crates. May not be much but its more than what you had.


Also if you feel you are running low on plat to buy supplies then go run lower level quests that you know you will not need supplies for until you have the plat.

PM random people and offer naked elf lap dance for a copper! you'll be rich in no time!

Well it's better then having 2+ of the same thread here and being told to do a search because its been discussed hundreds of times already.

lol well considering it was more than 2 years since the last post, id say that qualifies as an necessary raise dead.

Hell we coulda gone socialist by now and making money wouldnt mean anything.

No i think after two years someone should go ahead and make a new post.

[fytorebus]

Hang in there. Once you start running Gianthold quests (lvl 9, or maybe a little later like 10 or 11) you'll be rich in no time.

Alternatively, do loot runs. Giants caves in Threnal still drop very good stuff given their (lack of) difficulty.

This I agree with. Doing loot runs make you rich. Getting a good weapon for another character while running -> AH. I have to agree that running Gianthold made me rich, just running quests for loot even though you can't use them makes you rich. Tempest Spine is also good at a low level.

But But what if the original poster still needs help with plat?

[GhoulsTouch]

Make a character with high haggle perferably taking at least your first level in rogue which is rich in skill points...advertise a salesman you want to level up that is interested in a guild. Dump all high end equipment on him and make deals to sell items for others. All you need to do is place him at the enterance of any dungeon or go through carefully maybe even invisible (so you may want to invest in some levels of sorcerer/ wizard/ or bard combined with an elf for the lesser dragonmark of shadow...though drow is better for charisma) for a good portion of those chain quests with respawn and just get basked in xp to level. Make sure you tell other players/guildies beforehand that you are making a moneymaker and in exchange for xp you will give them full or near full amount of resell for all unwanted junk.

Everytime you multiclass away from rogue make sure to crosstrain your haggle skill and choose classes,feat,skills,spells, and enhancements that let you skirt through dungeons quickly, for the most part unnoticed and fairly unmolested. Being just a stone in the pocket works as well but its good to be the piggybank, the stay a bit behind healer/trapmonkey what have you and etc. as well.

It's good for cashing in on those common items no one wants to buy that litter the auction houses but will bring in a tremendous amount right away with good haggling. If you are fair and honest you will become quite popular...by level 20 (and believe me most will level you faster then you could ever dream knowing your mission if it benefits both them and their guild) you will be a most popular individual.

Farm Tangleroot for Fragrant Drowshood. They drop from the purple mushrooms.

Seriously. They are needed for the force rituals and are selling on the AH for about 100k per.

lol if he aint got it by now, he will never have it

[Diarden]

Get a job?

[knightgf]

Get a job?

Job? Where? I don't see any jobs where I live...

Oh the unemployment office? That doesn't count as a job.

[HallowedOne]

Basic mode is selling to the brokers, buy a Haggling helm, and ask someone to cast on you GH, Good Hope, Bard SOng you really wanna go hardcore about it =p

But you can always use the AH. Top sellers stuff on the AH includes:

• +4/+5/+6 enhancements items with minimum lvl req possible. Ex: Ogre Power Gloves +4 has ML:9
• Holy Burst [Weapon] of Greater [Enemy] Bane can be sold for a lot (million of plat) if [Enemy] is a Evil Outsider, Dragon or Undead.
• Anarchic Burst [Weapon] of Greater Construct Bane is also a good seller because it is a portal beater
• Metalline [Weapon] of Pure Good weapons are also top-million sellers
• Vorpals, Paralysers, Disruptors and Smiters.
• Wounding [weapon] of Puncturing or Weakening [weapon] of Enfleebing
• Striding rings/boots with 25% or 30%
• Mithral +5 Breastplates, Tower Shield and Large Shields
• ML items with +sp - a pure Ring of the Magi, for example. An Archmage ring can be sold for a fortune.

But virtually any item can be sold on the AH for the right prices

A +5 int helm with ML:15 can be sold for its base price - maybe a new toon needs an int helm badly, who knows?

There are even countless combinations that can be worth quite a lot, like a Flaming Burst Khopesh of Greater Giant Bane (**** nice for Prey farms). With time and experience, you'll discover what sells good there and what not.


And, if u ever find:

+1 Holy Burst Silver Khopesh of Greater Evil Outsider Bane

You'll never have to farm for money stuff again
