View Full Version : broke as a joke

alright, i hit level 20 and did my job change like any good little fighter should do.
I selected the axe from grandmaster sean because it's got the best DPS of the 3 weapons available and thus is most solo capable. I did the quest for the vitality skill and had enough money saved up to buy the level 20 shirt and power hit.
then i farmed my balls off on a mule char, vended every night, and did various quests and repeat quests to level 21 in order to afford mock, demoralizing hit and axe mastery.
problem is i still need a sword and shield for partying, at level 22 I need to get bravery, at 23 i need slice n dice, at 24 i need the new boots, and at 25 i need 1 handed sword mastery.
the skills alone are almost 13s, the sword, shield and boots are over 12.5s, not to mention the 15s house you buy at level 25.
where does one pull all this money from? I'm really wondering what i'm gonna do about this.

What are you vending every night? I have to ask due to how simple it is to make $ at that level -if- you don't power level, and you invest in your crafting skills a bit. Selling components isn't where the loot is.. it's in higher tier things... T2 and 3 potions, scrolls, stones, etc.

I've been crafting 100 elrue every night, selling 50 and keeping 50.
I'm gonna go on a mining marathon and start selling lix tonight.
I'll also likely sell some of my huge stock of scrolls.

T2 elrue and lix are nice when you get there... 600c and 2s/each respectively - I made 22s today while at work selling 11 T2 lix, bit more component-wise, but low overhead vs return in grand scheme. I've been busy grinding for the elusive T2 vitality scroll, and it has not yet dropped. When it does, will kick it up a notch.

you know if you ask a GM REALLY nicely, you may be able to buy one off them.
worked for my friend in Teva.

the meager def bonus i get from the boots hardly compare to the huge damage bonuses i get from the active skills.
active skills>equips>passive skills

SOrry I dont mean to laugh but comon broke at lvl 20???
I made a noob char and farmed slimes till lvl 13, delete and repeat. I did that 4 times had 100s. SO you cant tell me that u are broke if you even farmed. Do you juz NPC ur crap? or find osmeon to buy?
And if you vend necklaces and cheap rings then I cant help u with any money issues cuz they should all be NPC'd

I too am pretty broke, but like other said, some patience and lots of dead monsters will yield good $$
I personally was doing really well with having silver.....that is until i started refining my gear, i have horrible luck it seems :(

Some advice, Dont spend all your coin on every skill you can get only buy what you know you'll use or will be usefull, invest solely in armor and greens if you can, 20+ you can easily 2 man farm harder mobs maybe in the graveyard which are better drops than the forest and beach mobs, also farm mara elites for awhile they drop decent loot.

i think your problem is that you want all the skills and all the equipment.. 2h sword + skills AND 1h / shield + skills is gonna cost you SO MUCH money.. you should stick to one of them both work perfectly fine in both grp and solo play.

Well Id hope you arent spending money on 2h skills unless you actually have a 2h + your 1h xD
shoujo.

Save all the money that you can.. try not to buy stones and other buffs to avoid spending money... instead, just rest in you mini home or party with a cleric.
you could also join in kqs and get rare items, (i got 3 rare weapons from Mara Pirates rage [a +3 1h sword, +3 2h sword and +4 axe] ) and sell them for a high price...
eventually as you lvlup, you'll realize that earning money isn't that hard at all... i was broke by lvl21 (and even destroyed my 2h sword, i only got 1s left lol) but by just simply grinding, selling some items here and there and doing some quests, eventually by level25, i already have everything i need and still have 30s left.. see?
now lvl42... at Apoline server. with 54s..
:D
