hey all...I'm in need of some seroius advice...Everyone says that it's easy to make gold and I belive them...But I havn't had this kind of experiance...Gold is slow...I'm lucky if I make 100k a day (and I spend way more then that)...So obviously I'm doing something wrong...Currently I have some bee's set up but would LOVE to get away from them (my wrist hurts so much from all the clicking)...I tried hunting the Balrons in the Blood dongeon but it's heavily camped (and when it's not someone comes in and just takes one or two and makes the whole this slower then molasses)...I don't know of any place else to hunt for cash...I'm a mid level player (just completed my first GOC - chest) but not much else in the way of 220 dex uberness (I'm at 159 dex atm)...Basicly my strat is to hid behind my pets (2 nobles and 2 squirrels) and shoot my Yumi inbetween spam healing the pets...The other night it took me over an hour to kill the guy that drops Batwings doing nothing but spamming heals...That can't be normal at least I hope it isn't...So basicly what the heck am I doing wrong??? How do I get "better"??? Any and all advice will be apreciated...

Re: Advice needed....
I think that even Yomotsu mine or fan dancer's dojo can bring you more than a 100k a day. Supposing a day is not an hour for you. Do champs - landing a good 120 powerscroll can get you a few hundred k as well. You can try the Gauntlet - you might score a Jackal's Collar to get you started on the +dex suit. Get a 5th pet - more damage = more kills = more gold.
Re: Advice needed....
Definitely gauntlet if you like tedious boredom at about 100k a hr. Assuming your alone... Or you can mine ingots and sell those in mass bulks if you find a few librarys they should have the exact spots marked for your convenience. Mix it up and do a little bit of everything as well as a little luck. (that just may be your best advice use as much luck as you can afford for now, it's cheap for gear to get started off in might want mage armor on everything as you will be healing slower minus your newly found chest because unfortunately armor of fortune is vital for any luck suit starting off) It's not easy until you get the stuff to make it easy.
Re: Advice needed....
gauntlet, bees, gocs, power scrolls, balron runs. about it for now till you get better.
surprised that you beat neptor with 2 nobles and 2 squirrels seeing that he does an area life leech spell. pretty good m8. also, there's gravel digging tools you could sell and exodus dungeon you could harvest gargoyle tools to sell. lady mel is a good spot to get great looted weapons, imps, and other nick nacks. just takes a lot of time and friends to get really far. you could sell arrows make pots to sell for bees. use the exex. buy stuff low and sell high. hm.... sell ointments go to sanctuary and just kill everything for a chance to get ointments. go to labyrinth (if you have a bio). 100k per day is actually pretty good for a normal shard, but it is easy once you get a good set of pets. travesty area the green dude drops like 2k each time and he re spawns before his body decays. really fast re spawn there. brit fel sewers for organics, and there's an abomination dude that drops like 5k organics. do pet taming bods till your sick and tired of it for more organics to sell. make jewelry the good ones' the 3 x 8's jewelery can go for buko bucks. erm. breed pets to sell, and sell them low.

Re: Advice needed....
I Noticed Anarchy mentioned something that no one else has, and that might be your biggest factor in gold making... Hunt with some friends. Find some people you can stand to talk to for more than a few minutes, and befriend them. PM them whenever they're on and try to get your foot in with a group of people that are always doing champions. Read the Champion ettiquette page, and others will also notice yuo at champs, inviting you to even more 
The absolute best asset in mid level gear is friends. Two or three mid level people should be able to take down almost everything with the right tactics/strategy That being said, [PM Dangerously sometime, and i'll help you find some decent places to hunt. OH!!! No one mentioned this either ... Kill everything in Tokuna and trade those arties for majors. some sell for decent gold, and most of the mobs there have good loot as well. I kill every bird, dog, and cow i come across 
Hope that helps you some. Have a good one

Re: Advice needed....
Anarchy is right... the better you improve your gear the faster you will make gold, at your level 100K - 500K is not bad at all. I am also not surprised that it takes you more than an hour to finish netopir since the guy has about 98K HP it takes at least 15-20mins for a well geared guy to finish him.
Try leveling weps to lvl 50 then selling em... you can get 100ED's (+/- 4.6mill depending on exchange rate) besides it is faster than selling and more more profitable than selling a GOC which takes from start to finish 18 days in cool of time + whatever time you need to gather all items to exchange for a gem.
Good Luck!

The way to kill netopir is not to send in all your pets at once to him. The more pets on him, the more life he can leech. If you can't tank him yourself, best idea is to send in one strong pet, and when it's down to 30% hp or so, send in another, then pull that one back to keep it alive. A bit more tedious, but you will down him faster. As for Balrons, there are 2 near Montor, 2 in Fan dancer dojo, and 8 you can mark in tram, if you're still needing to hunt for them skill pots (essences? i forget)
Re: Advice needed....
I'll give that a try on Sandles Guy...I was gonna buy a pair since I've killed him 4 times from when I first posted and nothing...I'll try the one pet tactic and see if I do better (or at least kill him faster - anything is better then sitting there for an hour spamming heals)... 
Re: Advice needed....
Just an add in, you can make close to 100k an hour, without pets even, with the Assasin Boss and Executioner Boss in the Citadel. Basically, the best low risk, high reward spot in the shard. And...you may get lucky and get a decent 4 x 4x wep in there as well.
Re: Advice needed....
These spawns are heavily camped at just about all times of the day. Rarely will you have both of these spawns to yourself. Best of luck with it though.Cygnus wrote:Just an add in, you can make close to 100k an hour, without pets even, with the Assasin Boss and Executioner Boss in the Citadel.
