Heya, I suppose some of you heard about me. I am one of top free players from epith who earned lot of money and lvled to 96 (atm) without investing single cent, and since lot of players whisper/pm me and ask how to achieve heights I achieved, I decided to make thread so I dont need to repeat same thing over and over.
Money Making.
First of all, you all must remember that without investing real money earning game money pretty hard. But here main tips:
1) I dont really see point and reasons to make lot of money at lvls below 60, but if you interested> you can always farm ore in caves, grind in abyss alot and sell mats, develop stones making and sell elrue/lix/xirs, because even tier 1 easy to sell and required mats can be found in abyss.
Update: I was asked to add low lvl guide also so here few tips:
Till lvl 60 earning money on potions or scrolls bad idea imho, because kqs not giving required mats, and if you buying them, you income stays minimal. What I suggest> make stones for enchancing.
Seriously. 1 hour in low lvl abyss with good party gives enough mats to make around 5 stacks of xirs t1(counting you have good party), and 1 stack worth 100-120s (at least on epith). So you can earn 500s hour, for low lvls its pretty decent money, and if you will develop stones making to t3...
Stack of t3 xirs gives 500s. 1 hour in abyss gives mats to make 2 stacks, so 1 gold per hour.
2) After lvl 60, once you getting access to spider kq that gives you materials for potions and scrolls, you can finally start developing skills for pots/scrolls makings. Even if you will just make t1 from materials nina in elderine selling, you will need just 2golds to get enough mats and raise to tier3.
Just remember, to make tier 3 items you will need decomp skill, so its good idea to make alt char only for decomp purposes. Developing decomp easy, just pick comp/decomp skills for alt, and farm ore non stop, making middle quality from low quality and decomping back.
3) lvl 75+. After you pass 75, your income will increase greatly and there few reasons. First of all, 70 kq gives more materials then spider, so you can produce more scrolls and potions. Also, you can start farming ramsear and dangerous stools in uruga (and in ancient elven woods after lvl 80). If your lvl enough high, monsters wont attack you, and you would be able to concentrate on farming materials.
You can use them for yourself (ramsear decomped into violet for potions, and dangerous stools decomped into common stools, for scrolls), or you can sell them in raw form.
Good areas> zone between Lands Of Trials and bridge to ancient woods, in AEW> blue clover trumpies area and heart trumpies, you can just run/ride back froth from them and farm stools/herbs.
If somebody needs more correct coordinates, please inform me.
I usually wait till I get like 20 stacks of each, and then sell dang stools for 130s stack, and ramsear for 100s stack, so I am getting 2.6g for dang stools and 2g for ramsear.
Sometimes it takes time to find buyer, just dont sell all to purchase vendors for lower price. Trust me, there people who will rather buy large amount for slightly higher price then vendors offer then waste time opening vendor and waiting till they get enough.
For other servers prices may be slightly different, prices that I posted correct for epith, so do investigation before starting selling.
Also> this is important! I recommend mastering instant farming technique. In case somebody not aware how it works, I will explain. When you click on herb or shroom, bar appears with orange stripe and running line. You must click when line nearly at orange stripe, then you will do whats called "instant farming", line will stop and you will get drops.
This takes lot of practice and even though I mastered this to some extent and enjoy beating players with king touch on them, I still sometimes fail at clicking. Max success rate that I was able to achieve is 75-80%, thats without concentrating, farming in relaxed state. If I am really trying, I can achieve 85-90%.
4) Even though farming stools/herbs/doing kq/selling scrolls/pots gives income, its pretty slow. I spend around 2 hours day purely farming and earn 5-7golds per week. Thats good, but for 95+ lvls not enough (I was able to buy hellgait+10 using just money I earned from farming mats though).
So here another advise to money making> get into pvp kq often, try to get 3rd place, and then use war rants you will obtain as prize for farming either bosses OR elite monsters.
Yes, you heard correct. Bosses drop blue armor (and rarely blue jewelry), that can be sold for nice money (getting good stated drop is hard, so dont think you will earn alot), and elite monsters drop blue jewelry that also worth some money even if stats bad. Good thing about elite mobs> you can kill them fast and find good areas where they spawn in large amount. Bad thing> drop rate of blue jewelry way lower then drop rate of blue armor, so dont expect to get alot even if you using war rant.
I can call few elite mobs that can be farmed for blue jewelry and spawn in large amount. Big greenkies (aew), Guardian Masters (BR), Gold Knights (FM), Black shadows (TOS).
I made around 50-70 golds by grinding on gold knights for 4 monthes (by selling blue drops), so it may be actually better way to make money. Still requires lot of work, I grinded like 3 hours days on them to earn so much.
UPDATE: As for my 9x+/1xx+ readers, I advise trying grinding in Tears Marshes. Yeah, exp not as good as in, lets say, TOS, but you get way more interesting drops and more mats, for example, I solo tank whole room and get around 800s hour (1-2%). Add fact that you can also farm boss while killing mobs, and you will get pretty nice income location, beside, Laplans drop 100 shields for clerics, I got 2 really nice lately^^
Update: Farming blue sets.
Bosses/dungeons that worth time are: ZK, Graveyard of Dead, GGK, Concealed Peak, GOC, Lands Of trials, GM, Guardian Holy Shrine.
You may ask why just these bosses worth farming. Explaining. Each of them drops blues for 2 lvls, ZK>35/20, GGK>35/55, GOC>55/75, GM>75/95.
Other bosses drop 1 lvl blues, so if you farming for money making purposes, better pick those bosses. If you need some exact blue set, pick others, If needed, I will explain in details who drops what (cause I farmed all bosses starting from marlone, with my friend cleric).
Leveling guide.
1) Cleric. In my opinion its easy to lvl class because it doesnt require such heavy investment like mages, for example.
Only thing you must remember> cleric support and party addicted class. Please dont make str builds clerics and try to solo, its waste of time. Cleric can easily get party, doesnt need to tank or deal dmg, just keep tank alive and make pulls if required. At low lvls just do quests and grind in abyss/high lvl areas, after lvl 65 you can go to such areas as Swamp Of Down or flame mine, get party and grind grind grind.
Thats almost all tips for cleric I can recommend, develop your survival abilities and healing abilities, and you should be ok even if tank will lose aggro. Combine regen, heal and invicibility, and your grinding should be successful^^
2) Archer. Again dont see point describing low lvls, so lets start from 65. Archer one of easiest to lvl classes if you will learn how to kite and stay alive. At lvl 6x you already can start making money, so get yourself 55 blue set+9, this will help you alot. Areas for grinding same as for cleric and for other classes as well, so I won’t mention them anymore.
Archer considered to be solo class, but best performance can be achieved if kiting archer has cleric on follow who spam heals and picks drops. Also dont be greedy and carry lot of potions and scrolls with you, even if you have +9 set, archer still can die, without extender class have pretty low hp, and without teva dying at high lvls can be painfull.
3) Mages. Party class. Even full+9 armored mage pretty squishy and cant tank many mobs without cleric or fighter who will keep aggro. Low hp and ability to steal aggro fast thanks to aoes, makes mages really sc addicted, playing this class without extenders and teva can be pretty problematic. Fighter+mage can do best grinding, because cleric+mage not as effective due to inabilty of cleric to keep aggro as well as fighter can.
4) Fighters. I am fighter myself, DD, so I will provide slightly more info here then for other classes.
First of all, DD fighter soloer, tank fighter (shield user) party goer.
For tank fighter its easy, get +9 gears, get decent tank build, get scrolls and potions, and go find party, real tank fighter very hard to bring down, just learn how to keep aggro, and any party will gladly take you.
DD fighter> cant provide such tanking as tank fighter can, but has highest dmg outcome to single target. This means you should pick either really easy to kill monsters (mage monsters for example), either elite ones that give high exp (list of elite monsters and areas look above in Money Making guide). For lvls 75-96 gold knights in flame mine provide best exp counting that you have +10 weapon and +9 armor. Just dont try to tank whole room solo, take 2-3 at time, and you'll be ok.
I grinded 91-96 mainly on gold knights, and I dont think there better spot to solo grind. After 96 its nice idea to move to TOS and grind on rhinoce hunters, just keep in mind that you will need good weapon for them, preferably hg.
UPDATE: I confirmed that full 95+9 Gladiator can solo in TOS boss room (even w/o buff). Exp pretty good, 80k per kill, 130k per boss, but you will need scrolls and preferably potions as well. Since Black Shadows drop 95 blue jewelry as well, they worth spending time on, but I'd say wait till higher lvls, like 105+.
