clearing up fast cash thread

sorry about the ambigouity guys. i meant to ask where is the quickest way to make fast cash. i never beg for money. didnt mean to offend anyone. i would've cleared it up but the mods closed the thread before i can repost.

so to clarify... besides e-bay and buying gold online, what is the best way to make cash. dont tell me farming cuz i know that already. i need ot know a faster way.

Solo Farming!!!

Seriously - FoW & UW Farming, Providing runner services in Prophecies, Ettin farming, Doing B/P duty in Tombs. Buy low, sell high. Getting into the rare crafting materials market.

Besides the methods listed above... have you tried dancing naked in pre-searing while reciting 17th century poetry?

It's common knowledge that this is how most of the major multi-millionaires in GW started out.

Farming IS the fastest way.

yea, i've done UW a bunch of times and i dont get crap. maybe this 3x weekend will help me. i'm gonna master ghial and sskai and keep them for a while.

maybe after this 3x weekend, green drop rates will severely drop to stabilize the market. who knows?

here's the build i try farming sskai and ghial with

swords 13
tactics 16
anything else 3


auspicious parry
bonnetti's defense
riposte
deadly riposte
final blow
healing sig
standing slash
sun and moon slash

works pretty well with my style of play

actually, playing the market is the fastest way. You could probably start off by buying things for cheap and selling them for like a k extra, then when you have enough start buying the expensive things and reselling.

win halls, get sigils, sell sigils.

buy low, sell high !

Your a ranger so I'd say B/P Tombs or FoW.

For me it's duo'ing the UW with my SS Necro and my mate brings his 55hp monk. We get 1-2-3 ectos per run, always 50/50.

Best way for myself...Oro farming, Tombs, Ettins, Trolls & Hydras just dont cut it for me.

there is no other way of making fast money except farming and running ppl. The best farming spots imo are vermins outside senji's corner and shior'kin farming outside harvest temple are good ways of making money. In 2 months i've already farmed 1 mil from those 2!

FoW solo farming is very nice. You can get 4 shards in one run thats 12k + money +loot + chests. Only trick is that ull have to learn first how to get to farming spots

I concur

scamming is the fastest way lololol

try making a necro, go to the farming forums and look for godlike satan's solo uw and fow thread...you can make ALOT of money once you get the hang of it.

Trading or Farming - take your pick.

i'm doing AB right now. i'm thinkin of just playing the jadiete market... i'll alternate with faction giving. to the alliance then money for me!! i love AB so i'll be ok with it.

anyone wanna buy jade? lol

I concur with jade, Amber has a better market then jadeite. Most of the people i know would rather buy kurzik 15k armor as Luxon armour doesnt really cut it

this is true. i want 15k kurzick armor. but i'm a luxon.... so thats kinda tough for me. its all good though. i'll find a way to make money.

When I need cash, I typically do one of three things:

1) Fight for faction and trade it for jade/amber depending on which side I pick (typically Luxon in Aspenwood x12 for 10,000 faction = 10 jade = 4k? depending on jade preices...makes about 2k per hour unless the bonders are out en mass)...slow going, but fun in spite of leechers and you get SOME faction even if you lose.

2) Raisu Palace chest runs: Keys cost 600g each and unidentified golds sell for 1k each...so each key is potentially 400g profit. If playing with a fair group (taking into account the occasional purple chest netting 100-150g) an initial investment on 10 keys (6k) will return 8-10k (profit of 2-4k) in a little under an hour...NOT including the occasional low req item you might want to ID yourself...the gamble being you may get perfect or near perfect platinum bows, oni blades, diamond aegis etc...and hit the 50-100k jackpot or a 300g merch item. Do it for a day and you can average up to 10k per hour (averaging in a high-end item or two).

3) Totem Axe farming: Totem axes are pretty easy to sell at 5k and it's an easy solo run (look at guildwiki for some good builds or here in builds section)...at, say, 2 runs per hour and 1-3 axes per run, you can easily make 10k per hour (not including your selling time)...it can get tedious but it is steady cash.

If you want to make cash a bit quicker, do the opposite of what conventional wisdom might suggest: sell low. Before dismissing this advice, consider this as an assessment of what your playing time is worth to you. I typically look up the prices of green items and gold items on this site and others and subtract 20% (settling for 25% if someone wants to dicker) and here's why:

The cycle of American life has become a vicious circle of making more money by working longer hours so you can have more liesure time...think about this applied to the game....spending huge amounts of time selling high-end items (trying to get the absolute best price) so we can get more in game gold to buy cool stuff so we can enjoy the game more.

...the paradox causes more spam than I can stand for 100k+_ ecto items. I look at the price for an item at, say, 100k and know the value is commonly known for that so I undercut the market (pisses people off, but I make the sale very fast by comparison) and sell for 80k. People know it's a bargain and will still ask if I'll take 75k...sure, no problem. They go away happy and I only spent 10minutes trying to sell the item, where the people I pissed off are still spamming for the next 2 hour or so (not playing the game) because people want to buy items for less and will wait for a deal...I'm the deal they are waiting for In the long run I make more cash because I make more sales...and I have more time to enjoy playing in my freshly made, black-dyed armor and with my sparkly weapons...

Yeah, I undercut too. I don't want to stand around in town selling, so I discount, sell immediately and get back out to playing the game or farming or whatever. Works just fine for me.

1. Farm for money and items resell (like the rest of us)
2. Buy items low from players and resell them for a profit
3. Play the collector game (example = Buy troll tusks for 20G each Trade 5 to the collector in snake dance for an item worth 150 gold)
4. Learn a trade like running to Droks, skill capping guide, Mission runner for profit, Power Leveler
5. Collector of collector item drops (Example collect as many Oni claws as you can from farming then go to the collector that trades for that item- Spam Oni claws 100 G each)

I am with TwinRaven - To sit and wait for someone to accept your price of 10K for 30-60 minutes is crazy to me. When you can sell the item in 5 minutes for 8k. I can troll farm and make up the difference. (I have limited time when I play, so I can not waist the precious time I have spamming)

That is one of the best pieces of advice I have ever seen on these forums.
Too many people are willing to stand around for hours trying to sell their overpriced items. If I can sell mine for a lower price in 10 minutes then I have made money and am right back out there getting another item to sell and will make more money than anyone standing around for hours.

As for the original post, why do you need to make the most money fast?
All these people bragging about having millions is all good, but what are they doing with it? Nothing.
Being rich in this game is useless. There is nothing to spend it on that is worthwhile. Most FoW armor is ugly (personal oppinion, not flaming anyones armor) and most of the high-end weapon skins are used by too many people so you just look like almost every other guy out there anyways.
Lemmings FTW!

I hope you are kidding

solo UW with 55 monk - still do able guys

fow chest runs or any other type of chest running (a good gold can get you 100k ez)

farming greens (if its a commonish drop for you sell it cheaper then everyone else to get buyers)

farming trolls and bring keys for the chests

farming other things such as Tombs

Lol he is

currently, I'm farming Vermins... but I wanna go try my Monk out in Shiro'ken farming soon. Oh, and I collect ectos from dual UW runs with friends... I usually end up getting like 3k from UW runs, because of the niec fat loot. When there's only 1 ecto drop, I ask the person if I can have it for 3.2k and they always do. I jsut started, and I have 8 ectos xD

wow. thanks raven!! that was the best explanation and best advice given to me about this topic!! you're an awesome writter. thank you for the advice.

thank you to everyone else too!! you guys are AWESOME!!
