I feel kinda pathetic doing this, but I need help. I really need to make some money, but dont know effective ways to do it. I can go as a W/Any, Mo/Any, and R/Any. Warrior is my best character, Monk second best, and Ranger third best. They are all LvL 20, but the monk and ranger havent been too far in Cantha or Tyria. The warrior has been practically everywhere on both maps, except for most Kurzick places. So please help me, i need ideas on how to make some money. So far my main ways of making money have been: Etting farming, and troll farming. Neither are slow, but tedious and repetitive. Also, please dont say "Buy low, sell high," because that requires having money to start with; And i have tried many solo farming builds:Sskai,Arrahhsh Mountainclub,and others that have ended in failure.Please help me, and please dont flame this. Please just put only helpful posts. Also, I dont mind criticism.

lets see....since u hav a W, Mo, and a R...lets start with what u can do with ur W.

Griffon farming, right outside of Destinys Gorge.
Use: riptose, heal sig, deadly riptose, glads def, endure pain, dolyak, bonnetties, sprint.

Hydra farming, outside Augary Rock.-USE SEARCH BUTTON- for the build

Sand Wurms--same as griffon build, same place as griffons

Fire Islands--spiders, even those hydras there.

Xueko--boss farm(outside of maatu keep)

these r just 4 places were u COULD start.

Now for ur Monk:
THE DEEP!
FoW
UW
UW(2 man)
Urgoz
best places to make som cash.

Ranger:
my rangers MAIN farming areas r:
Pongmei vally
urgoz
FoW Solo
B/P-tomes-FoW
UW trapper group
The Deep(2 man, work still in progress,still tweaking the builds, harder than hell)

but still, ranger seem to be MORE suited for farming than any other class
but then again..maybe i just like em too much

As previously stated, farming is boring after a while, but if you want lots of money, farming is the only reliable way to get it.

Try getting yourself to Temple of Ages with your Monk, and playing a 55 Mo/W in a duo Monk/Necro Underworld farming team.

There are so many scammer solo farming monks that if you can do the duo runs well and totally honestly you will soon have a whole contact list of necros who will be happy to regularly farm with you.

well if u need some money to start with u can try vermin farm with wammo, then u can farm bosses with touch ran (there was an excellent thread about green farming with touch ran, use search), then u'll be able to *buy low sell high* if u think camping in towns for few hrs will work for u

Look up the 600hp or Spiritbond monk builds. Very cheap and profitable, imo.

Two vermin runs until zoning back to Senji's Corner will give you about 3.5k every 14 minutes. Selling stuff to merchant and salvaged materials included. Maybe someone is faster but that is still pretty fast way to get money.

Farming is a very boring and repetitive process , you just gotta stick with it and you'll reap the rewards for your hard work.

Lately ive just been doing farming in the desert. Ive gotten 4 Bleached Shells and 41 Griffin Wings. I heard Bleached Shells were 1k each, and Griffin Wings were 50g each, but apparently no one wanted to buy mine. But, whatever. Ive been thinking of doing some runs, but im not sure. I cant do Droks run, and i was thinking desert, but that will take awhile to perfect it. *Shrugs*

To the OP, if you have a monk go 55 or spirit bond trolls for a few weeks. You'll stack up some nice cash that way.

Any more ideas? Ive been trying this IDS farming build for rangers i made up, but i have a question. Do the Ice imps oustide Grotto drops IDS's? Ive killed more then 100, and i havent gotten one. The anti-farming code hasn't appeared, so i dont think its that. So does anyone know if they do drop IDS's outside Grotto?

NOTE: I'm still tweaking with the build, and i think i almost have it so farming them will be very easy. If i tinker with it some more, i will probably post it here, but if the ice imps outside Grotto dont drop IDS's, then i will have to add some running skills to MAYBE make it to the cave past Granite Citadel.

IDS doesnt drop at grotto, nor outside ice caves of sorrow

minerals springs is the only place

Fow forest solo with R is better btw

12k(shards) and 3 gold weapons in 1 hour run is pretty standart for me

If your best is W then vermin runs are in your alley. Easy 4k back and forth. Right outside Senjis Corner and to the left.
For Monk, the Duo UW runs or Deep runs are gonna bring in the cash. I monk in the Deep easy to find a group.
I love the Ranger Fow forest solo. Some very nice cash at the end, if you can get the hand of it.

Vermin runs, i did those, barely made anything. maybe its just my luck. as for monk, i dont know the UW build, and he hasnt been to Cavalon. For ranger, i was thinking of FoW forest, but i dunno.
