Money?

My character i think is already a slightly high level one and I'm kinda thinking that at his level I should be earning at least around 100m+ a day... I do my fair share with the jackpot license and doing great but it seems that it is not enough anymore. Anybody wants to share any tips and tricks for income? Please enlighten me... and please no referring to gold-selling sites cause those kinda sux.

    Well, I never make that much money a day.

    Basically the 5-6 million from the Trading Post.

    Then I would do 101/105. I used to try jackpotting stuff, but I would actually make less than either opening the equipment boxes and selling the stuff (or breaking them and selling elements).  Gotten kind of sick of that though. (And it doesn't help the price of 105 keys is going up and up and up and up and up)

    All in all, probably 25 million a day or so on average. Which is enough (or was) to buy a blessing license a month plus some gear upgrades (though not a lot).

    I think some people solo VoO. I can do the first two floors at least. Never really get anything good (no cboh), but people will sell the boxes. People used to guild jump and do it several time a day, but can't anymore.

    You could also try manipulating the market. A former guild mate of mine used to do that. Simply buy up everything of a given item if it was priced under X, and sell it for X.  That can work, but it sort of sleazy/jerk like.

    If you can leave your computer on, you can get an autobattle license and search robot license and do ABFL. I used my week long hero pack (which was from the newsletter a couple months ago) and would do 4 FLs a day. Usually I would make 10 million per FL (winning about half the battles), plus I could sell stuff from the points. I made a good amount from that, about 50 million a day.

    Those licenses seem hard to buy in game though. Everyone seems to be selling Atlas ores instead of any other CS item (and those at huge prices).  Even blessing licenses are now hard to buy. I used to generally get one for 250-260 million. But when I can find one on sale, it's now like 350 (and I only have about 300 in the bank)

    thanks for that info... i think the only applicable for me is to keep on doing indies and the jackpot. I get bored with the barter shop though it easy money. and the market monopoly thing is too sleezy for me too... hehehe.

     

    Any other ways guys?

    off topic: why do you use the search license in FL or on bosses? I really don't understand... I mane, that bot is actually helping your opponent by taking the loot for you. You give them a free space to move to. By bosses i use to kill the mid line and not loot so that the boss helpers can't get in front of the boss protecting it. In FL it's the same but every free spot is a blessing for the opponent.

    Come on... Give me a break!

    Well, because the lot really adds up after a lot of fights.

    Say I do 50 fights in FL a day, with an autobattle license.

    That's 9 loots x 50. Or 450.  Okay, probably overoptimistic, but not by much - many fights end up being main vs main, so even if you lose, with a robot, you can get 8 drops. Whereas if you win without a robot, you might only get 1 (from the other main).

    Sure, most will probably be gold or elixirs, but some will be books of craftmanship, usually 2-3 per fight. At least on my server, they sell for 70-100k, so you might get 100-150 a day. That's 10 million right there. Or if you craft, just useful in their own right.

    Plus, opponents occasionally drop copies of their equipment. It's pretty rare, but you can get 1-2 drops per day. In higher divisions, people tend to have good equipment, so if it's depraved or phoenix or a rare ring, ka-ching. (It's only +0, but still).

    And in ABFL, people never really move, so that's not a problem. Boss fights, yeah, but you can turn the robot off.
