Hi.

I just thought I'd do a small survey about popular farming habits to give other people good information and also, give myself a few hints here and there. Ok, so here it is:

1) What character(s) do you do MOST of you farming on

2) Where do you do most of your farming

3) How often do you farm per day/week

4) What is you average income per hour

5) Do you prefer: Farming, Chest Running, Regular Runnong or Just playing the Game to make money

Thanks for your co-operation!

1) Currently it's my R/Me. Although I also do alot of farming with Warrior and Elementalist.
2) Currently, I am pretty much in the Underworld by myself (with my trusty mini-pig sidekick) trapping everything I can.
3) I farm every day probably. From 5-10pm. I am working on Obsidian armor, so that explains it.
4) Depends on drops. Currently its around 4k, since I am saving all the ectos I find. However, if I were to sell them, it averages at around 30-50k.
5) Farming.

Hope this information is usefull ^_^

Where ever I feel like it at the time.

When ever I get the time and I don't like to over farm.

I get 1K or lower as I may not do it enough all depends on the drops.

I prefer just regular farming.

2) Where do you do most of your farming
Used to be elona reach but doesn't work so well so UW when we get favor

3) How often do you farm per day/week
4-5 hours when i played allot but now 30minutes to 2 hours depending on weekend or not

4) What is you average income per hour
about 40k per hour? unless i'm doing UW takes 10minutes for 8k so about 80k per hour?

5) Do you prefer: Farming, Chest Running, Regular Runnong or Just playing the Game to make money
Chest running and Playing the game to make money are my most fun ways to get cash, but i will farm if i'm short on cash..

10 minutes for 8k = 56k per hour. However I think that 10 minutes = 8k is a bit extravagant of an estimate anyway =P

Anyway,

1) Warrior
2) Tyria (not a particular location, I just solo what i feel like)
3) Not much
4) 15-20k probably
5) Just playing the game and picking up stuff, but I do some farming when i need money or exp or whatever.

Mostly on my derv or monk, because for all my other chars, theres not an easily put together farming build for them...

Whatever appeals to me ATM, I have about 12 different spots I visit.\

All the time. All. The. Time................

~20-30k an hour

I just play the game and it gives me insane amounts of money

Um Yeah

W/

1) Ele, Monk, Warr, Ranger (in that order)

2) Depends on mood and if I have favor. If I don't, then outside maatu, kappas, and dragon mosses.

3) Usually it's only bout an hour a day, if that, but I decided yesterday that I want FoW, so that's gonna go up to 3-4 hours a day, then prolly shoot back down after I get the armor.

4) 15-20k/hour. Depends on drops and where Im farming.

5) Farming and playing the game. Keyless chests=random easy money every once in awhile too.

10 minutes for 8k: 10*6=60 minutes = 1 hour. And 8k*6=48k

Back on topic:
1) Warrior
2) I try many things, I do it more for a challenge that pure farming, on my warrior that is. I farm UW when I need money on my monk.
3) Not very often. few times a month, for a few hours max.
4) Varies greatly.
5) I prefer to just play the game. I feel that I get enough money that way.

I use to make 50k farming green in 1-2 hours..but that did not include selling the greens and guru lowering the prices on things also undercuts sellers. So making the money off them would be like 4 hours. I started farming again solo runs. (in an area which I wont name because it will become to popular and get nerfed.) they have lot of range type monsters so i use my rit or monk or necro to farm there it is pretty easy with no interupts and once you master the run you make 1.5k in like 5-6. mins. it isnt the best place but I made 100k there from selling the runes and stuff that they drop in like 5 hours and they drop gold items which I really missed. I havent got a gold item from monster drops in awhile and was happy to find this place which occassionaly drops gold items for my title. I use to chest run and that ended up being a big waste of time and money (had over 3 characters filled with golds for like a month and most of the items had imperfect mods which hardly no one wants.) But if you want some advice for making cash I would suggest you identify every item now including white and blue before you sell that is how i can manage more gold per hour and it is big difference in certain areas where creatures are above lvl 20 you can get sometimes 100+ from a blue or white.

1) My monk.

2) Skyward Ranch. All the hydras that aren't tucked away alone in corners are about right to fill my inventory up completely.

3) I only farm when I have a specific goal to reach, like Vabbian armor. Then it's usually 3-4 hours/day, 5-6 days/week. The rest of the time I don't farm at all.

4) 5-10k per hour, including time spent identifying, salvaging, and selling to NPCs. No trade spam involved! =D Not as lucrative as some methods, but entirely painless.

5) I prefer just playing the game, and it brings in enough for day-to-day expenses, but sometimes there is something special I need extra platinum for.
