An honest guy can't even get an honest living in fantasy life. Prices drop, prices rise. As soon as one person does a money making scheme, another person follows, and does what he/she does. Changing prices and messing up everything.
I'm a holy water salesman. Im considering trying a new money making scheme, unfortunatly, there is a problem. Most are shot, useless, or wont give much profit, best one i see is possibly weaving or carpentry. However, i lack AP to rank any of those skills.
Synthesis is also an idea'... Wait no, it is not. That fishing event broke synthesis period.
Rumors i've heard that possibly Dragon Boat in the future is gonna give War Swords as a prize. =.=
I was thinking doing Snow Golem Manufacturing, but i dont tend to see people buying them. Silver Ingots are less of a problem, and finest stones take a while to get. And i lack AP yet again, to rank it.
Dungeoning or SM'ing. Thing is, its fun and all, but it gets lonley doing things Solo. Which breaks my motivation. Running with someone and getting lucky ussually means sharing profits, not to sound greedy, but i need it probally alot more then they do.
Gacha? No. Thats a cheap way out of it, nor do i have a job to pay that out. Plus its like pointless to do it, i got Large Nails once. :/
Estentially im complaining, but its also a rant. Mabinogi has no honest way of making money. Maybe its just my lack of AP or motivation. Im not confident in my skills either to do Dungeoning alone, Water Cannon Spam, Heatbuster and Barrier Spikes...
:/ Help./Discuss
(Blacksmithing and Tailoring are out of the picture)
yes, this makes things very severely limited.

Well, the problem is whatever idea someone gives you here, with enough people copying it since it is profitable, it will soon turn to not be very profitable with tons of people doing it.
People often buy thin/thick yarns for some decent amount. Weaving doesn't cost much AP. I am sure you will go through another 3 week rebirth before you finishg rA weaving, or even rD.
Maybe the pure Alchemist skill-set is not as good at dungeon as you thought it would be? Otherwise, I don't see why would you be lacking confidence.

Mabinogi has no honest way of making money? You're doing it wrong.
Dungeon more, pick up every gold drop, and don't be wasteful buying crap you don't really need. That's about it.

In General, stuff you need or want. Most cases want.
Aswell as buying NX from other players, but im not going more into that.
Aswell as make myself feel better that im probally not some low schuck. Kinda iritates me when newbies have more gold then me.

After I bought my Karis there is nothing i really "want" atm. Just ranking skills and keeping up with repairs. Maybe a wave blue dye is what i want, but not like WANT WANT WANT. I have like 1.2M in bank.
Im making some profit right now though, Proffing this wand for this kid and making it CC+4 with 6% mana consumption+ for 400K. Also he's paying for repairs xD

Farming. It's not really reliant on players for business, and it's easy to do: You click a button every 20-40 minutes. ._.
You can spam Rabbie Basic or Albey Red Gem for money too from formor scrolls. Not everything you make in Mabi comes from business :l

Well, there's always farming right? I used to leave it on during school with some help so it's essentially automated. 6 days later I get gold for doing nothing at all in Mabinogi while at school.

I feel the same way. I had various methods that earned me big bucks until everyone started doing it. Then I decided to try shock crystal selling and it was greatly successful. Some rank 6 synthers decided to start selling shock crystals too and now they've at least halved in price if not more. But there are still ways to earn pure cash, such as farming like other people have suggested, and also rafting. If you can get 2 tipping suits per rafting trip, that's ~46k right there + the mana herbs which you can make into MP 100 potions and sell.

Im almost looking at a bigger picture at the momment. G13+, we lose the Ego Trick, unless NA messes up somehow. I havent picked up a bow in a long long time. Thats not a half bad idea..

You need a pretty high rank of adv magic or crash shot to hit that now though, and maybe it's just me tipping suits can be abysmal to use the ego trick to get before your raft goes poof :<

1. Run higher level shadow missions/dungeons and pick up everything that drops.
2. Stay alert to good deals. I bought a black/red flashy dye for 650k yesterday. If the demand is low, wait for it to rise.
3. Go farming. That's a good honest livin'
Most importantly.
4. Stop spending your money on stupid stuff. I've seen more people than I can remember that complain about being broke yet they're wearing a well-dyed outfit.

I actually have little outfits, i wear a RA uniform with a Cowboy hat so, that's my usual attire period. I try to get deals, but somtimes im not sure if somthings a deal or not, i know about checking boards and that. But still im never sure about spending money about buying stuff that might take forever to sell in my house.
