How do you get your money? You don't have to share if you don't want... :XD:
Just curious how people generally earn their money to get the things they want :what:

edit: This thread may be useful for people looking for ways to make money :XD:

i just do what i normally do like training skills and try to find a way to make profit

windmilling zombies proved to be very profitable cuz of their large gold drops

refining is a goldmine since blacksmiths by iron ingots at around 40k/stack

every rebirth getting exploration from 1-25 usually nets me around 400k

actually the least profitable thing i do seems to be dungeoning. most of the time i break even unless theres a rare item/page drop

Run profitable dungeons/missions
AR8, FB10, EJ3, IS2, Imp, Avenger, Darkness, Ancient, Siren Mask, etc.

Or prof weapons. Chaincast wands have nice returns.

I run ADV Hm dungeons for rare items. Last week netted over 9 mil :D. Also im rank 1 enchanter and charge 30k per succesful burn. Make about 1 mil a week on that. R4 tailor...little not much money. R4 Blackmith access (friend who quit lets me smith on it) makes some when i need it.

Keep notes of people buying things I can get at high prices, then spam their mailbox whenever I get them.

Unfortunately shadow mission drops aren't very profitable until hard mode :(

Mostly just by playing regularly, e.g. dungeoning and exploring. I never buy anything (srsly), so it all racks up pretty quickly.

When I'm in the need of money I metallurge. I also used to prof colored llbs for a profit of ~50k ea, but metallurgy is much better.

Otherwise, I just put all the junk I find in my house and it sells. It also helps that I'm miserly :XD:

Do dungeons, go on Adv. Shadow Mission for some gold or do farming; that is if you have the patience.

A lot of it comes from shadow missions.
I got a good deal of money just by selling a secret mission pass.
Selling stuff I don't need (which usually ends up being alchemy crystals) gets me a good amount.
And, well, before I started hoarding leathers up for my future weaving training I made a lot from selling those.

I might consider selling 222 broads.

Merchanting. Finding great deals on items and then reselling them for a profit (it's actually fun when things work out xD).

I also go and prof up LLBs when I can get my hands on white/black bows. Have an ancient elf sitting in TNN ready to go for whenever I get a supply in.

Farming. Great chunk of income from babysitting a field for a week. REALLY nice way for a new player to get a gold boost early on as well.

And of course, just doing dungeons and what not. Trading in Fomor Scrolls when they build up is always nice as well.

rabbie normal, which gives me rabbie basic half the time, or at least some scrolls, and some enchanted items i can sell to people. otherwise ill do redgem.

I personally go Thunder rafting. It might be funny, but with r6 Thunder, i use around 3-5 mana 100 potions each run(on a friday of course) and gain 30 iron ingots plus mana herbs and gold herbs if i'm lucky. Just repeat the process, except you make more mana 100s with the mana herbs you get =3
The profit's good enough to repair the wand AND save some money for me as well

Also just saving money. Never spend more than 3 mil a week.

Well with Tuesdays and Thursdays off, I usually afk with my ego out as I do some dilly dally things feeding her a good amount of my gold. You'd be surprised how much she consumes. Now, I tend to limit that since my days off kinda got cloggy.

Earning money. T.T

The lag and my crappy computer insures that I can't do a single shadow mission above basic, I can't farm because of time issues, and I'm too weak to do any adv dungeons.

So I stick to math normal and try to farm leathers there. I just about break even.

Fomor scroll hoarding.
(bank tab with 10 sets of each skeleton fomor scroll for a rainy day)
It promotes frugality when you are limited to pure money drops from dungeons to repair or buy items

Whenever I'm at school, work, or AFK, I have my ego out.

It's basically out 24/7, unless I D/C. It's allowed me to get to level 27 Strength in a couple weeks, and nearly 19 Social.

But it costs a lot. I've spent several mil on it so far. It takes about 85k to get it from Mad to Fine. Do that a few times a day, basically 1 mil every 2-3 days spent on it.

I'm resigned to the fact that I have to sell mainly holy water in order to make most of my gold in mabi.
Things like leather and alchemy crystals and burns, I will usually keep them, which is why I can't earn from those.
Money earned from shadow missions only helps to pay for my potion and repair money. It's difficult to break even sometimes just from dungeoning alone.

Selling iron ingots and leathers, mostly. I've made almost 800k just from selling them and for lower than average prices too. Lots o buyers. Farming also helps a lot but all that time is an issue. Selling MPpots and white herbs was somewhat profitable but I stopped because I needed them for myself.

I get lucky with rare things but not very often. Ruined Bonita Ribbon, Lava Cats.. and the like.

Also, not buying worthless crap and getting good deals helps me keep my money. The most I've spent on something in the past few weeks or so was on a 30k Phoenix Fire Wand someone was selling cause I needed a new fire wand.

What I do currently is spam Stones of Sliab Cuilin and sell the stones. It's a excellent profit, specially with my upgraded pickaxe, as my buyer buys em 30k for fine and 50k a stack for finest and 8k for common. Otherwise, I might try to spam Shadow Missions like my favorite, Fomor Commander, on int or adv for 10k or 15k each run. I used to do Albey Red, but I have since ran out of room for stuff like the scrolls :(. Right now though, I know Dharma slightly and I was able to get lucky with finding a Dustin sword manual and I made 3 of em and sold 2 for 1.5mil each. Currently holding the last one for a friend to buy.

I get lots of money when exp faming or training windmill, so I save all that. I do a tiny bit of merchanting, but my main income is holy water. I sell cheaper than everyone else most of the time and I make tons of gold from it.

Ciar Adv mostly.

Most people are too lazy, too bad, or too undisciplined to have WM or simply prefer another class type and thus can't do Ciar Advs solo. Making it all that much more profitable for me.

Noting that ranged can solo Ciar Adv, but time is money. It's not worth doing if it takes 1hr-2hrs to complete. I usually average 40 min runs, 30 mins with no lagging and ideal conditions, 50 minutes max if I die.

Doesn't hurt its also the fastest exp available in game, including Shadow Missions. Make 100-500k per run depending on leather drops and boss drops. A full run usually nets me at minimum 2-4 finest leather, 2-4 fine leather... boss drops are sporatic but a stamp item/spike ES can round out the money per run quite nicely.

I've also figured out I can use the stamp on my sword, then use Knight enchants until I have the REQS for spike and simply enchant spike over knight since Spikes are R5 and knights R6. Works out really nicely.

I sell as much stuff as I can (wood, crystals, etc.), and keep $ as much as I can. Then I repair and restart :P
I'm trying to reach 500k for the first time without splurging on something, and I'm doing fairly well, for my standards. If I actually trained WM like I'm supposed to, I would be richer -.-

*cough* Selling Shop in signature *cough* :P

If your an elf and you have two really good friends you can trust, if they have r1 WM (preferably with Explosion Resistance Armour), you can spam Rabbie Adv anf get IS2 (Drop rate ain't that bad). The elf can just Revive them if they die (Hide/Play dead) Money + TONS of exp :D. If your well prepared, you can do about 15mins runs.
