How do you make money?

[Blaaaaaaaah]

Plain old Lix [1] has been my best moneymaker so far. The biggest hassle with that is gathering the copper ore; I don't like mining it's incredibly tedious to me. Every so often I just bite the bullet and spend and hour or so in the mines and stock up. The elrues are pretty easy to come by, either by making them yourself or buying them.

It's especially easy when the market gets so flooded people are selling off stacks of elrue for like 20-25c. If you buy cheap from people, its usually about a 75-150c investment per lix and I can usually sell the lix for around 450-500c a piece pretty quickly and with little trouble.

Totally agree with that. <3 Lix. I was tempted to start trying Xir, but nah, that takes too long to make. It already takes a while to make a bunch of Lix's, I cbb to make a bunch of Xir's. And yea, I hate mining copper too. >_>" I usually mine copper when I'm really bored or something, but I sometimes buy them from shops if they're not too expensive. I got a whole stack for 5c each only today! =D Happy happy.

You can set up a purchace store and go AFK. I bought my scrolls materials for 20c (to speed things up), and some guy said "You're ruining the economy, moneybags." Was kinda funny.

LOL Really! That's exactly what I'm doing right now for the past hour. <3333 all the summoned beast leathers. Now I think I won't have enough torn leathers but that's easy to get from mobs I'm fighting.

They should give more money with the quests. I hate just vending to make a lot of money.

if you just need a few silver, and can survive in moonlight tomb, farm the plants in there. you can earn a good ammount of rosmarys, violets and stuff there which can be npced for 40-60c a piece

@ Lyoven

Absolutely agreed upon. There's a little spot in Moonlight Tomb where herbs grow by the dozen, spawning faster then you can pick 'em (most southern area from the centre). Rosemary's, Violets, and the other herbs are worth quite a bit, and being able to pick up a bundle of three for each individual herb is also a plus. I've made at least 50 silver from camping in that spot, along with farming the monster drops from Vivi's, Spiders, and Imps.

Do you lose money by dieing? I just notice that I loss 888c in my inventory.After a couple of death...

The secret to making money in ANY game over a period of time is always going to be Merchanting.

Merchant, Merchant, and more Merchanting! Buy Low, and you sell high. A tedious process? Maybe, depending on what you're merchanting you may sell fast or slow. If you have the money, and you see someone (probably a nub) selling something for EXTREMELY cheap, buy it! Later it'll come in handy and you can resell it for maybe even twice the price.

Example:

Today I bought Elrue for 30c each, 50 of them, Later today I sold them for 80c each, a 50c profit on each elrue, totalling 2.5s profit. Now you do that with higher items and more costly items and you get more money.

Also, farming bosses/minibosses can you get some good drops. =]

A little luck along the way with drops can always help!
