I've been getting bored of my current games, and I'd like to give Vindictus another look at.
I got hacked back in December (No answer to my ticket for months now, thank you Nexon) losing all my items I acquired, including my +8 Dreamwalkers. All I have to my name right now is the instant 50 armor and some Piasraspears (+3 or 4?), which is bad considering I'm a sword user.
Any ideas on how to get money? Has the game gotten even worse, since a majority of the players I've met were total assholes who completely dismissed me as a scrub in every run I went on.
I'm also wondering how long it'd take to gain back what I'd lost, especially the +8 Dreamwalkers.

Farm Magic Powders, they sell for some chump change. If you dont mind spending NX, selling a pure white/pure black dye is a fast way to make some millions

Lets see. Dreamwalkers are finally dying down now that Vellaflation has tapered out mostly.
Since you're on East, +8 DWTS are going for about 40m on the MP right now. If you bargain hard enough, you might be able to get it down to 35m-37m.
Even if you just raid, which if you do lower end raids you should be fine - most people running Titan, Thor, etc. don't really care about your gear. It only really matters in Keaghan (less people), Lakoria + Kraken (11k + 14k boss Def means people screen heavily in those runs), and Colru (nobody wants to see a room wipe).
If you can get 10 seals a day, and you can change 52 seals in for a Colru Shiny Stone. From there you can craft yourself a pair of Piasraspears. I know it sounds stupid to craft yourself more spears, but Spear Lann is literally the best class in the game currently if you have the money to fund one. So what that means is that there's a stupidly high demand for Spears so the rich people can attempt to +15 a pair. As of posting, all the clean +0 Pias are 12m. Also you can't craft Kai weapons or such so you won't be able to make Stoneshots for profit.
So it would take you about 20 days of 10 raids a day to make over 40m and get yourself a +8 DWTS.
But that's assuming no extra farming, no rare drops from any of those 200 raids you'll be running, and so on. The seal shop economy might break open any time though, so this advice might be invalid in a few weeks. It might just be best to hoard seals and wait since S2E2 seal shop should make an interesting change to the economy.
As for armor, a full BH/Apo costs about 20m-25m. Which is just another two pairs of Piasraspears.
You can also sell Empowered stones for 50k each. Magic Powder for 40k each. If you can do missions (at the Mission Board), there's a niche economy for Exquisite Weapon Damage pots which can range from 400k each to 700k each if there's a long drought between easy missions to get Exq. from, and they always give like 3 a mission so that's a really easy way to pocket 1m in 6-10 minutes.
Farming ore is also always viable, as Superiors go for 45k each and Exquisites go for 200k each. If you're capable - you can always try to farm 50-69 S2, as they're manageable and they have a small chance of dropping some 500k+ items. They also give good AP too if it's a daily.
