Basics

It's simple. Everyone needs money for grinding, skills, armor, weapons, Etc... This list could go on.

However making money is not that hard as you think. I will list a few basic ways to make money in this game.

Player Selling

Now this takes a bit more time, although you do get more profit. Just set up a shop anywhere in a crowded place, and sell off your wares from mobs.

Tips on making profits

Here are some tips on what to sell and at what prices to get you some profits:

• 1) When you open up your shop to BUY (instead of sell), price your ingredients lower than the product you will sell later on. Though, this already should be common sense.

Ex: I can buy 5c or 6c per spirit fruit AND 7c per Tough Meat, then make HP Pots, and sell them each for 25-35c. (Though I usually do it at 30-33c), and just by that, your 10-11c/ingredients can make up to about 25c profit per HP pot, depending on your price, and if you had 50 HP pots, that's 1s and 250c already! Not the best example, but quick money since HP pots sell pretty fast for me.

• 2) Buy ingredients for a skill you don't have for lower the price you can sell it for. NPCing is what, 3-4c sometimes? Give or take? Well, if you buy say, old dusts for 5c or 6c, then sell them for like 8-11c, you can make some profit there. Though it may be a bit slow, it's still good money if you don't have that skill and don't wanna bother selling erules. (right now, the stone economy is pretty low since everybody has that skill, so I decided to sell the mats and they do sell quick!)
  
  

• 3) SAVE! SAVE! SAVE! Yeah, saving money does help. :P Basically save up, don't buy a skill or weapon you don't really really need until you figure you do need it.
  
  

• 4) QUEST! In simple terms, (some) quests give you good exp and a reasonable amount of money. Heh.
  
  

• 5) Slime KQ -- try it! I think slime KQs give the best prizes (well, this is biased from my own personal experience), but still, KQs in general can give you really awesome prizes. If you do enough slime KQs, you can level really fast and maybe have tons of pre-enhanced weapons or something to sell.

My first KQ I got a +6 wep, then a +5 and then a lot of +2s and +3s. I enhanced them up to +4s and +5s if lucky, and sold it for QUITE a profit altogether. (: Though, haha, this is pretty time consuming if you don't get anything good.

• 6) Grinding during your higher levels -- Again, in simple terms: Good EXP (if you're grinding with the right crowd) and a good or great amount of money when you NPC drops.
  
  

• 7) Farming -- Farming herbs or stuff on high-lvled maps can really be helpful when you NPC it. However, it's pretty time-consuming and sometimes you might die, if you get mobbed.

Best way if your feeling strong. If you fight Marlone or King Marlone there's a chance of getting a special weapon (+ i think too) from him. If you ever get these sell them for a HIGH PROFIT. I would recommend level 29 for King Marlone and level 29+ for Marlone. Fighteruser

Advanced Methods

Alchemy

The most common choice for money making is Alchemy. Alchemy is divided into 5 portions in Fiesta. Another great way to make money is doing quests for fame and then buying alchemy stones from item merchant Nina in Elderine any level of them will do but to make the best profit you buy level 1 alchemy stones and sell the for 20 copper to 15 copper i sell them for 17 copper each in quantittes of 5 sets of 50. if you sell them for this price yiu will make 850 copper every 50 alchemy stones and if you selll them in quantities of 5 sets of 50 each you will make close to 4 silver be aware the sell very fast.

Scroll Production

Scroll Production is one of the most common Alchemy skills chosen and also one of the most difficult if you are just starting out. Simply purchase the materials required (Suggested Price: 8~10c each.) Afterwards, sell them off at whatever price you wish. Due to(the extremely high supply, it is not recommended to exceed 150c.

However, purchasing is not a guaranteed option for scroll productions because of the high demand for summoned beast items. Hence, for beginners who wish to take Scroll Production it is highly suggested that you stick to slimes, slow slimes, ratmen, little lizards and ice vivii when levelling up to ensure you get the preliminary items

Potion Production

Potion Production is more difficult and not as often chosen as the Stone Production skill. Potions require at least three materials, and the price most will buy at will be around 20-30c. Vending potions will be difficult, so it is not recommended for those with little patience.

Stone Production

Stone Production is also a very popular Alchemy skill. Required for enhancement, enhancement stones usually bring a decent price. Due to the large number of stones used and the high rate of failure, there will always be a demand for enhancement stones, despite the large number of people taking up the skill.

Material Composition

This skill will require copious amounts of capital. From the beginning, there will be very little profit, if any at all. After a certain point, there will be possibility for profit.

Material Decomposition

Similar to Material Composition, this skill will require capital as well. However, there is profit almost immediately - Tier 2 ingredients can be decomposed into Tier 1 items, which can usual counterbalance the costs for production. A bit more profit can be generated from Material Decomposition over Material Composition, but not much.

Merchanting

Merchanting is buying form other peoples mushroom shops and selling for higher. Now, this may seem like a simple concept (and it can be done in just about any MMORPG) but it is very rewarding. For example, you could buy small things, like mats and elrues, for cheap and sell for profit. But, you can also buy large things, like enhanced high level weapons for cheap and sell for larger profit. This makes a lot of people a lot of money and could get you lots of money in no time!
