Easiest Money?

Anyone know what's an easy item, mini, etc thats easy to buy/sell and make profit?

I used to do that with White Rabbit.... but now their prices are rocking and dropping really fast. Glad I sold my last one.

Any advise on which item/mini/anything else that I should buy/sell?


Edit: I hope that I don't end up w/ a ban from this. I just realized that I'm not allowed to post about Money.... But this isn't exactly about just making money. I wanna know what's still popular for trades right now. Everything seems to be different than just from last week.

seriosuly, GW is made so just buy playing the game you should have enough money fro skills and armor..... even elite armor, if u finish all 4 campaings you shood have more than enough to get a nice set of elite armor (maybe not obby, but hey its ugly anyway)
money is bad business...cause u will only want more and more adn drive urself crazy (trust me i knwo) as long as u got enough for what you need, just chill and GAME ON. if u want lots money, find someone who has alot, track em down in real life, and get their account/password, and throw them over a bridge :P...

dont really do tat btw...

you could try buying bulks of zkeys at a pretty low price and sell for a bit more. as unsteady as the gw economy is you never know what to put your money on anymore.

Yeah selling stuff is one way but tbh, its more fun to actualy play th game then to spam all day hoping somone buys your stuff lol. cause even if you buy the zkeys for a good price, it will be hard to sell em for a profit, cause people generaly buy the lowest price they can get. i remember when zkeys were 5k a pop and now i see em go out for 4k on average :S

by saying i can't understand what he was saying was more so saying that i don't want to spend the time figuring out why he's in a whole other world talking about elite armors and doing the campaigns will net you enough to buy them when the question was what is something good to powertrade.

some people have *fun* by power trading, nothing wrong with that...
so instead of saying "dont power trade, play the game..." try to answer his question?
so anyway, any very high end minipet, greesed lightning and stuff will be your best bet. cause the others like kuunavang, bone dragon, etc are rapidly falling. not sure about ghostly hero/mallyx, maybe they're still good...

I'm disappointed that White Rabbit is falling
I mad 55 ectos just from buying/selling it in a couple days.

And Thank you Zling for a productive answer.

People I don't need advise on how fun it is to play the game cause I already beat the entire game. So why run through it again?
I just PvP and Power Trade. Maybe you don't like that, but I have fun doing that.

running dungeons for people is always a solid way to make at least 10k an hour depending on the dungeon. You can also get emerald blades from the kathandrax chest and BDS from the SoO chest. Those sell really high right now.

Striking Nimbus is right on the money (lmao), you should just play through the game and have fun instead of trading and powerselling. Find a farm run that is FUN, versatile, and maybe short in time depending on how much you want to spend farming. I used to powersell and for a year I would just spam in LA and sell... it was the most boring thing and I gave it up because its not worth it, despite the profit. Use z-keys and predictions, I made almost 1 mil just predicting right and I spent literally 5 minutes searching.

Also Nimbus, take off that veteran thing, December 23, 2007? Thats only a few months away from 2008, which was last year... Try May of 2005 . Geez that was a while ago >_<

Scamming? -_- I'm not stealing anything.
Just rules of Buying and Selling. How do you think retailers in the real world make money? -_-

Predictions/ X tourny. - easy 100k+ every month.

Zkey farming - Random arenas, HA, AB. Use a good build and you can easily rack up stacks. Proceed to sell them to people in Balthazar. They go for 4k at least, 5.5 at most.

Shadow form farming - Plenty of cash here.

But I just made 300k in 5 days from Buying/Selling White Rabbits

definitely beats 100k/month.

when I think about it a bit more, the Z keys are another profitable way, but not in the way people here mentioned.
you can work on your zaishen title and if you get those rare everlasting tonics and whatever other rare things you can get from those chests you can power trade those. these everlasting tonics go by 100k+a lot of ectos, I'm sure you can power trade them for a lot of profit, especially if you get a constant influx of them by working on the zaishen title along the way.

any high end mini pets are CURRENTLY stable, you never know when they might fall, though since there is only a limited number you might be lucky. z-keys are prbably the stablest thing in terms of normal things, even ectos are messed up. see the thing is as people get more and more z-keys, more are released into the GW economy which in turn lead to price drops. there are millions of players who get 10+ zkeys each. and not all of theses will be used on that vile z-chest. which means some will still stay in the system. oh well. zkeys and mini pets like greased lightning, and any pets you cant get anymore.

You mentioned doing PvP, so work your way to HA and sell the nifty rewards from there? The balth faction is good for zkeys, too. This won't be as profitable as powertrading, but it will pass the time between a big hit mini and another one.

You could use other high-end items for trading, too. Don't rightly know which, though. I'm happy with having enough cash to spend on stuff I need, not racking up a mountain of plat to swim in. And ecto.. ew! They're BITS of DEAD PEOPLE! How can people like them!?

My advice would be to outfit yourself for Voltaic Spear hunter. Try that. When you get one of the ground it can compensate for any losses that you have in trading mini's.

I was trading mini gwen's. I would buy at 100K and sell at 100K + 20 Ectos. This I could do 3 times a night in around 1 hour. However, the last one that I sold I could only get 95K and took a loss as the price dropped as people who wanted one bought it and added it to the hall.

As for the next big thing, I believe it is CHARR ETERNAL TONIC. You can get one for around 100K +50 ectos and sell it for 100K + 75 making a tidy 100K per transaction.

The flaw with this is that again..people that want them...have them. You best bet it to buy on Tuesday and sell on the weekend..especially on the "special Weekends" like St Patty's day.

Hope this helps. It would seem that everlasting tonics are you best bet.

Yup, for an unrelated Ventari’s problem, apparently.

@Op Fourth year minis will be out soon enough. In the mean time, do something else. At 300k, you're already richer then the majority of the GW playerbase.

@Striking Read this.

There are a few ways to make a large some of money fast in gw. Depending on how good you are at soloing in hm these are what you can go for.

1) HM solo destroyer core farming

2) pvp in ha. By working on your title, you can trade in ur balth for z keys

3) AB or JQ; Same as above but with also workin on ur luxon/ kurzick

4) uwsc run or slavers run
