Making Money as an archer

[dadictator52]

I have a few questions about the best way to make money. I"m saving up for a lvl 50 +9 bow but i'm not sure what's the best way to go for it. Tell me which way is the best to go for it. (By the way i'm at tier 1 scrols, potions, and stones :p)


So which is the best way?-
-kiting in 5x abyss
-kiting in 6x abyss
-scroll making (buying stuff from item merchant nina)
-potion making (buying stuff from item merchant nina)
-stone making (buying stuff from item merchant nina)

-Also, do u make money from scoll ( or stone and potion) if you buy all of your stuff from itme merchant nina and sell ur stuff for 100c each? Just wondering... Please tell me if you have any questions.

It depends.

For the most part, buying stuff from Nina is expensive. I used to buy Vanished Signs and comp them into SoTs and sell them for 1.5s - 2s each, but due to Uruga's Item Merchant charging only 900c for each, that kinda died for me.

Really, your best bet is probably kiting, and then selling the mats to players vending. When you can, get up to t3 decomp and scrolls/potions. Then, you'll be able to buy t3 mats, store "hard to find" items (SoT, SBL), and make scrolls/potions to sell. I don't know how effective that part is, as I typically find myself with more excess gear than I have room for, so almost never have scrolls/potions listed. But I hear its worthwhile.

I've tried kiting. But isn't that like the worst way to get money unless you turn around and try to get the items which is pretty much suicide?

I"ve calculated, if you sold each scroll (shield def.) for 100c each, you would be losing about 80c each time.... So do you think buying torn leather 20c each and SBL low quiatity 30c each, and beast dogtooth 30c each is fair? OR do you think i should raise or lower the pirce of those? Because each item from nina is 60c each.

If you turn around, yes. If you kite in a circle, you're reducing the damage taken.

Regardless, yes, Nina is expensive, which is why most people set up buying shops and only pay 10c for their mats. FoM and Roumen are frequent places for this, though by SoG and the Town Gate might also be a good spot to set up shop.

I honestly don't know mat prices; I get all of mine from KKP, except SoTs, which I now buy from Uruga Items (or Preserved Signs, but that can be expensive), and Vilolets/Ramsears, which I harvest myself.
