Cant Make Silver..

[IXeroI]

Impossible as an archer to make any $ from grinding , all spent on SP / HP stones , useless, questing doesnt give enough either, just make HP SP Stones free already... newb

[russowkid]

maybe if you learned to grind on the right mobs, and use your skills right. I've made plenty of silver on my archer. (potion making and stone making.)

[IXeroI]

use my skill correctly? grind the right mobs?* , both are irrevavent from what I said , STRAIGHT GRINDING , requires use of SP HP Stones , everything you grind , only drops mats , the mats you need for making potions and stones need to be sold for money , or u dont make anything at all but more potions , so you're either still below 22 , or lying, good try though.


 


Stone mats = $


Potion mats = $


skills and items require that $, HP SP stones require that $ too? so whats left? 200c?


 


and what mobs are you talking about? Slimes? rofl , buddy what level are you anyway?

You know, I found that using the drops you get for your production skills really sap the money out of your pocket. So I tend to not focus on the production skills that much. I usually focus on scroll making that way I only have two types of items that I have to collect. If you focus heavily on making elrue and whatnot, it'll be hard for you to make money, unless you sell them via your own shop and gain a profit. But that's usually hard too because people push down the price to 30 copper or so if you're trying to sell near them. So I seriously wouldn't focus on stone production if you're worried about money.


The main way to earn money is to sell your loots. Killing certain monsters won't help. But I find it favorable to gain a lot of copper lumps because they sell 100c per piece. You can also put up a shop, but that requires a lot of patience and a good eye for prices to get profit.


I've found it easy to get silver at least just by selling my loots~ I guess it varies between different people. x.x

they strictly forbid any silver farming , notice if you're higher than a mob , just by a littleee bit , little or nothing will drop, because you could just farm it and make alot... so you're forced to move on to harder things that drop stuff , but sap all youre SP HP Stones , even things that drop for production need to be sold to get any type of profit,,, expect for clerics , because they only use SP, I'm probably done with this game ,I Spent a good week on it everyday all day , and needs alot of work , So I'll come back later when its fixed, or never..


 


so again, end story is:** Straight Grind = use alot of HP SP Stones , Sell everything you get after*1 or 2 hours of grinding*(probably 2-3s at the most when ur dry of SP HP Stones) , restock on Stones , 200c left , everytime , maybe less , cant farm, thats the point.


(THis is only in an Archers prospective , because thats all I played , and I did everything correct as it should have been , grinded where I am suppose to, etc.)

You can farm only not the very weak monsters. Eg. right now I have among other a 20lvl mage and I farm mostly boogys and pirates. They don't give me much of experience but the loot is ok - mats and an ocasional return scroll. I'm strong enough to kill most of them before they reach me so I only need SP potions and even the number of those can be reduced by resting frequently.


After farming I always have a lot of materials for alchemy, make some potions/elure and sell them. I usually set up shop while I'm doing something else on the computer and have the game running in the background. That way I don't have to stare at the screen waiting for stuff to sell and at the same time have control over the selling progress. I'm not making a fortune but enough to keep up with weapons/armor/skills.

[IXeroI]

well,* as you said yourself, you're 20 , wait until you're 25+ trying to do quests in Burning Hill , -.- , you're basically forced to find a group for those , unless you're a cleric/fighter.** -_-

I farm my own mats( never had to buy a single potion in game) I also kite mobs.(DoT's are a wonderful thing.)*I am a archer and rarely do I ever lose more than 25% of my hps.(If any at all)*If you are a archer and are trying to stand toe to toe with mobs then you are doing it wrong! I am 31 level and have had little trouble* so far /shrug


If you are trying to use your archer like a fighter then you need to rethink your strategy IMO. With the stategy's I use maybe 10% of my money goes into potions/stones. All mobs are not created equall. Find mobs that are easier to kill from range and STOP trying to tank everything.
