    Default Endgame Money making

    Sorry beforehand if this is the wrong place to post this. If so please take it to the right thread.
    I am nearing lvl 20 again on my TR Arti and so far this fellah hasn't crossed 300K PP yet.
    I have asked for some advice from my guildies but they reply with sell essences etc which I am not planning
    to do since I need most of it. Right now I only decompose gear that gives lvl 4or 5 essences. I vendor the rest to the corresponding brokers using a +6 cha item and skill improving items (that + the fact I have around 22 ranks in haggle myself).
    Still, it isn't going up really hard. I would like to have some tips on how to increase my monetary gain. Or places I could grind for unnamed/ named gear I can sell.
    Thanx in advance.

    Here a couple input:
    - scroll farming, you can get some nice plat (partycrasher's marks can be farmed with an arti with no big trouble)
    - Farm shroud and sell lds you dont need.
    - run eVon6 and sell frds you don't need.
    - grind some named unbound items and place them on AH
    - grind tapestries, shield fragment and tome pages and sell them.
    - farm base GS ingredients and sell base gs items
    - farm and sell some scales from tor

    Take all that **** you vendor and put it on the AH. The vendor, even with your haggle skill, will not get you half what the AH will.

    I rather avoid AH since I whatever MMO I played before this game... and this game. I suck at selling things to non NPC. Seems whatever I do I don't get to sell things unless it is underpriced. I also don't know the economy and what is worth what so I usually don't bother. Rather have a solid form of income and the first tips really helped.
    Any more information is still welcome of course.

    This.

    If you don't need the items anyways and you're just going to sell them, do it on the auction house. When you do, look very carefully at what you have before you sell it.

    Straight stat items (IE Clever + 6 Ring or Ring of disabling +10, etc) will sell fairly well.

    Check the auction house for what similiar items are selling for and charge about 20% less than the lowest item. Sells quickly and puts more plat in your pocket.

    Special every day items to look for, that are usually good sells:
    Race Required items (lower min level)
    Goggle and ring items. (Good spots for Rogues to swap gear while they're leveling up)
    Adamantine, Silver, Cold-Iron, or Flametouched items (Except kamas, hammers, dwarven axes, and other weapons which generally are not used)
    Ghost Touch
    Featherfall
    Intimidation Items
    Invisibility Clickie
    Neutralize Poison Clickie
    Remove Curse Clickie
    Divine Power Clickie
    Rage Clickie
    Haste Clickie
    Solid Fog Clickie
    Major SP Pots (Keep a store of about 5 of these per toon you have to be given to raid healers etc, and then sell the rest in increment's of 5,10,20. If you cut people a deal on these in Auction House you can get away with a hefty sum of plat)
    Festivult Jelly's, Cookies, etc (These things will go like hot cakes if you sell the right ones. You can ask a little more since they're harder to get, and depending on the type, some end game players use them a lot)
    Winter Weapon Recipe Number 5 (These are super expensive during the Ice Games)

    Things to get rid of at the vendor: Items with useless suffixes or prefixes attached to them which raise the min level usually do not sell as quickly, and if I can't sell it the first go around, it goes to the vendor. No one needs a +6 Wise Ring of Perform +10.

    It really just depends on how much effort you're willing to put in to making the mad ducits. If you don't feel like putting forth the effort to the auction house, then I'd suggest the practice of vendoring all weapons at the House D weapon vendor who will generally give you more per weapon than regular vendors.

    Ransack the inspired quarter. There's a lot of money to be made in trash loot, mnemonic pots and auction fodder.

    Well here's the secret, if you really pay attention, it's the underpriced stuff that sells faster, and you're still selling it for more than you would have gotten from a vendor. I see stuff go up on the AH, stupidly overpriced, and it doesn't sell at all. It goes back up a few days later in hopes someone has finally gone over the deep end trying to find that +1 Flaming Ghost Touch Scimitar of Righteousness and is willing to pay 60-100k plat for it.

    As far as the economy it fluctuates from day to day and update to udpate. A Ring of Feathers pre-Cannith Crafting was worth a lot more than it is today. The scrolls for the epic items are likely going to be worth more now than when this next expansion comes out. You start off doing what you can, and some day sure, you'll say "Man I should have sold that for a lot more" but you learn.

    Thanx a lot you all. Although I don't have time to play the uncoming few days due to the fact I am visiting an animeconvention in the netherlands I cannot try it out yet (no worries though, I believe Diablo 3 steals all players T_T)
    I will try it soon. Thanx for all the help ^^
