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.

NPC Selling

The most basic way to make quick cash. Just kill mobs, gather their drops and sell them to NPC shops, simple as that.

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.

Basic profit breakdown

Ok i am going to explain how i am so successful at making money and guarantee everyone that if they follow this tip they will be too. This does take some time to get used to but i promise it will work.

First this is what you will need (you can even make a new charater if you need to)

• Stone Production
• Scroll Production

Those 2 production skills are the most popular and you must use that to your advantage. Here is the breakdown of how to do this correctly.

• Step 1*

• Gather all your materials yourself. Do not buy a single one of them in the beginning as this will bring your profits down by nearly 80%
• After your materials have been gathered dispose of the materials you do not need (Such as potion materials and other various gathered materials) to player stores that have the best price better than the npc. If there are no player shops buying certian materials to the npc they go. There are only a few materials you should keep if there are no player stores buying them at that time and they are, Tough meats and spirit fruits. The potion maker's need these so keep them untill you find a player store buying these.

• Make elrue. Do not sell this elrue, Keep this and all elrue you make until you have reached the skill level where you can make Lix (~300c)

• Lix - The thing about Lix is the market is alwase open for cheep Lix. It is the middle class enchanting stone and it is also material needed for Xir. Once you have reached the ability to make Lix, Keep making elure and Lix at the same time. Keep this Lix untill you have a hundred or so.

• Selling - The point is to make a nice profit. Undercutting someone is okay but undercutting by 100c you just lose out on money. Undercut 1-3 copper if there are a lot of competitors. THERE IS NO REASON TO SELL SOMETHING FOR HALF THE PRICE. you are just losing out on money.

• How to get so many scrolls - Simply save them and sell them in bulk (~100c)

• Methods to not use - I would never recomend buying anything and reselling it for a higher price (But all in all we all know the people that just bought your stones are going to try to sell them for more thus wasting there time for a small profit making you the winner overall)

• The point - Take full advantage of the popularity of the skills use them to your advantage be ruthless when it comes to selling under price anyone and everyone and someday you will be rich too. (more to come soon)

• BEST PLACE TO SELL IS ELDERINE!!!

Another way to make easy money

• First of all you will need mining skill (Bought through Skill Master Ruby or one of the four skill masters in elderine) and a pickaxe (Bought through one of the item merchants) and a weapon or something to defend yourself with.

• Second : Got to Echo Cave (entrances are found in Forest of Tides, Sand Beach and Sea of Greed

• Third : Find a good spot where usually no one goes to and start mining (note: Slanderer Phinoflies are really annoying if you aren't a high enough level because they constantly attack you and do lotsa damage) (Another note: if you aren't over level 25, DO NOT GET NEAR CAVE ARCHMAGE BOOKS!!! They are aggresive and do huge amounts of damage so don't even try to get near one if you aren't a high enough level).

• Fourth : Once you have at least 100 or so Low Quality Copper Ores, a few Copper Ores and a few High Quality Copper ores, go back to town and sell (I prefer to sell my things around the area where you appear at if you die).

• Prices I sell my things for: Copper Ores (Low Quality) = 30 or 35c...Copper Ores = 60c...Copper Ores (High Quality) = 100 to 115c... I haven't sold any Topazs yet so i haven't estimated the price.

• Tip : There is a bigger chance that someone will choose to buy from you over your competition by copying their store title, and addind "CHEAPER" if front of it. For example if your competition has a store named "COPPER ORES", you should name your store "CHEAPER COPPER ORES"

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

There's a great spot in AEW (Ancient Elven Woods) that has tons of woods around. The only problem is that if you're too low lvl, someone could drag back a Spider Queen, and kill everyone there. Also, because it's so great, many people get very territorial over it. I'll up date with coords in a minute, but for anyone that's been there, it's in the Red Trumpy zone. booyah8877

• 8) Mining is a great way to make money! If you go to Uruga Golden Cave and mine gold, then sell to NPC you make a great deal of money!

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 quantities of 5 sets of 50. if you sell them for this price you will make 850 copper every 50 alchemy stones and if you sell them in quantities of 5 sets of 50 each you will make close to 4 silver be aware the sell very fast.

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.

The Econony

The money tree

Here i will explain the Economy easily, I hope you understand and use it to decide which way your going to take.

1. Farmers - The lowest branch of the tree. They farm mats and since no money is spent getting the mats, whatever they sell them for is pure profit. One of the best ways to make money.

2. Decomp - The 2nd lowest branch of the tree. Buy materials to decomp and sell. Makes a good profit as well.

3. The middle man - Buys materials for a high price and sells the made products for a low price while still pulling a small profit per item. The goal here is to constantly move products, upgrade your production skills, sell better products for a cheaper rate so you are constantly buying and selling. It's low profit in the beginning but the profit only gets better and better.

4. The vendors - People who vend for long periods of time selling things at retail price. Gets a good profit per sale but slow sales. Nearly even with the middle man but much less work is involved in this area as all products are bought and sold. No gathering or making needed.
