Pick up everything that drops for you. Identify anything that shows as 'unidentified'. Sell things to the merchant or salvage stuff for materials. Just play the game and you'll have enough money to keep playing the game. If you find something you can't afford but want bad enough then will be the time to figure out how to make more money.

Alliance Battle! Thats the way I make My money. trade in your faction points for Amber or Jadeite depending on if your Luxon or Kurzick or if you've already completed both befriending quests, then you can just sell those materials to people. some people suggest selling your jadeite to the rare material trader instead.

scamming - that is just plain dumb...dont scam, it is not nice and completely unnecessary, u will get a bad name in no time and the risk (of being banned)
is far greater than the reward. - read the guildwiki warning on common scams, generally if it is too good to be true, it is.

A few better ideas:

playing the game - go after areas that have a high probability to drop greens, they are easy to sell if you are reasonable about the price and any green is worth a few k (remember on average you may have to run a mission several times before an item drops), some are worth alot. when in a town, see what golds are in demand, go after those too, because of their customisability, a perfect gold can be worth 100k + NB pick up everything that drops for u, sell everything u dont need, just playing thru any map (of the three) with average luck will provide all u need for 15k armour

farming - with the change to aoe damage and monsters running away, not so straightforward, but a good war build (check wiki) and an area such as the troll cave to the left of droknars as u go out to talus, an excellent place to start, good drops. UW is popular for ectos, a high value item, with easy resell

trading - this is the best way to increase your wealth, and it is quite simply buy low, sell high, there is a price check listing (use as a guide only) here and alot of people, like me, sell cheap to move items on, with patience you will find a buyer, just remember not alot of people have more than 100k, so if you are selling at those prices, it takes time (alot of time). Good items to buy and sell are axes, swords and newly added items/skins - but they should be perfect if you want to get a good price, ie +15 damage not less.

offering a service - if you are prepared to grind, for gold chests especially, then dont id and sell the chance to id for up to 1k/ item and u keep the item, alot of people are looking for this service. Offering running services, not in factions but in prophecies still has a following, and prices run from 500gp - 2.5k

There is alot of advice in other sections on this, just browse areas such as farming and look at guildwiki plenty of advice.

It is easy (if a little boring) to make 10k an hour, play a few hours a day, 20-30k+, at the end of the week you have 250k, one month and you will be standing in your shiny fow armour deciding black or white (mix them for 27k and you get a charming grey - the ultimate, i could have used 50gp for merchant grey but i fixed this up myself, display of wealth !! )?...u get the idea...

If you are struggling with farming etc, contact me in game, happy to help and my advice or help is free. IGN - Li Tian

Alot of players will vouch for me, I have taken some very experienced players from poverty to wealth fast, just remember that the reason it seems hard to make money is because any way you do it takes time and thats time you are not playing the game.

good luck
