Making money

[Loach_Tigerfang]

Hi, I'm a poor noob and need help making money. DON'T SAY KILL RATS AND SELL THEIR STUFF! I'm not that big a noob. I'm not talking about buying my first sword, I'm talking about making my first 1k or getting a full set of leather armor.

Basically that is where you start, Kill rats train up and gradually move to bigger and more lootsome mobs or you can use the cash to buy your first mining training and work up from there

[Socius Rockus]

I SAY KILL RATS AND TRY TO SELL THE PARTS YOU LOOT! That's How i did it, when doing this you get trias AND progression points, both coimbinde makes you able to train a skill or raise a stat. Now stick with me, if you happen to train  a combat skill like.. ehmm Sword skill and perhaps some agility and strenght wouldn't be too bad to raise too IF you want to earn your trias fighting Some day you'll reach the points at where you can kill a lot more then just some rats and then It's cashing time (cause 'theirs stuff is the 'big' deal) That's the fighting way.

You be a merchant, buying stuff up cheap and selling it for higher prices to other players (beware that you can't ask TOOOOOOOOO much, try to be a bit reasonable )

  Or do the lazy way, train your mine skill and start mining gold like CraZy!!!! But that's just CraZy!!!and with CraZy I mean, spend all you time mining!!!

Or combined ways, if you like multitasking

Thanks for the advice, but can't you read!?

You can make some money doing quests but it is a little haphazard, sometimes you end up spending more than you earn. You can make a little money doing weapon repair but it is pretty tough slogging. Normal weapons are easier to replace than to repair and it takes a fair amount of repair skill make efficient use of your time. If you are wandering around in the sewers looking for rats you might try and find a weak tefusang or gobble to fight, some (not many) are not much more difficult to fight than rats. If you can fight pretty much anything in the sewers, try the thugs under the temple. They are more difficult but they do drop weapons and short swords have a pretty good price/weight ratio. I would rate their difficulty at or just a little lower than the mercenaries in the arena but they seem to drop weapons more often, it is about all they drop as they do not seem to drop bread anymore. You might be able to make money by amusing rich people, there are some who value role play as well as game play so take on the motley and find a patron for your jestery.

Quests are a good source to earn several thousand Trias.

I'd also say quests are the way to go

Sure I can read but looting is without doubt the fastest way for inexperienced players to make cash, and if you weren't inexperienced you wouldn't have to ask

[Earl_Listbard]

Bah I have better ways of earning cash... Quests... gold minning... and clacker slaying

there are quests that give a good hefty payment... I want say which ones but snoop around a bit.

Gold minning, you need 100 trias for a rock pick, at least one skill point in minning or 0 (but be training it)... and a nice buddy to show you to the best gold minning spot

clacker slaying... If you built your character right, you should NEVER have to step foot in the sewers... I know this because I never had to. Once armed with a weapon and at least lvl 3 skill in that weapon, you can take on clackers.. they're not as good as other mobs, but they do give better loot then rats, their loot sells for like... 8 tria... you'ed need to kill roughly a hundred to get anywhere..

Right now, warrior/miner is the best occupation, and renders the most amount of trias. Although I hope that'll change... pretty much you have to mine....

[Mordraugion]

* Mordraugion points to his phrase "inexperienced players"

Sure an experienced player can make a miner that has enough skills to make money and do all of the other suggestions that have been made

[Earl_Listbard]

Make a minning mech? no no friend, I am against minning mechs... I just build my character so his father was a normal miner... That gives 3 minning points to your character.


Despite that, even if your father didn't mine, its not too hard to get lvl 1 minning... I also know that from experiance... Clackers are good for new players to train against, sell their loot until you can buy a rock pick, and train yourself in minning.

In total that should take at max a half hour of work. At max. (resting and running considered)

At which point you can go mine... Though that isn't easy on lvl 1.... But hey... who said getting those trias was going to be easy?

I have to say that doing quests for a starting character can be a genuinely painful experience. All you need to do is be unlucky enough to pick up one that takes you to another area, Hydlaa to Ojeveda or the Bronze Doors region or worse Ojeveda to the Bronze Door region  and you will get exhausted so many times you won't want to keep playing. And that is after you have already run around whatever place you are in for a couple hours looking for the person who is elsewhere.
If you are lucky you can get one that will just make you run around the town you are already in but even that can take hours for those who are not familiar with the NPCs.

The original poster appears to be someone who has made three or four characters since abandoned who has got some of the mechanics down but hasn't discovered how to make himself self-sufficient in the game. He seems to want this information and not the general throw them off the dock and see if they can swim advice. He has gasped his way to the shore and is looking for swimming lessons. I am sure he will correct me if I am mistaken.

good point. well, the only good ways for a starting character to make money are:

1) quests
2) kill weak creatures and loot to sell
3) buy a rock pick and go mining for gold
4) merchant things
5) beg
