Are there any easy shadow missions that are particularly good for gold on beginner or intermediate? So far I have been doing the Shadow Cast City and Other Alchemists mission on int. The regular monsters for Shadow Cast City are just right in difficulty on advanced, but the boss being way too hard compared to int, I am wondering if there's missions similar to its' int level in difficulty but maybe better for gold?
Or maybe there are some 2-person missions(up to Adv) that are good? I can't get 3+ people, though, because I only have one friend who regularly is online and doesn't mind my newbie-ness.

Lol craig cow....
Honestly missions at lower levels aren't meant to net good money solo. I'd just get strong and do the higher level ones. Or leech a conflict hm spam o3o

I would, but I need AP to get stronger. A buttload. :( So it won't be for a long time that I will have rebirthed enough or done enough dailies for the AP needed, and gotta stick to weak stuff till then. >_<
Would normal mode dungeons(besides Peaca) be any better? Or are SMs still better even on int mode?

Scc boss is really easy actually. If you can somehow defeat all of the clones than the rest of the battle is literally just wm spam to reset its AI

Also if you daze them with fighter they cant do anything for a while.

It's not a shadow mission and you need either crash shot or thunder with ~500 damage/target, but rafting can be profitable. If you spend 11 stars (11 kills) on a pair of the fox-patterned boots the natives sell, your can NPC resell it for 4k gold (~363 gold/mob, which you don't need to pick up and they have relatively low hp.) My rafting runs (as a champion archer) usually get me 17-19 large stars (85-95 kills), so I can typically make 28-32k per rafting run. Obviously this requires certain skillsets and a certain strength tier, but it can be fairly profitable (and easy, since targets float past you and [if an archer] you just snipe them as you pass. range upgraded elven longbows are nice for this.)

Let's see… good missions to solo…
I'm gonna base this off of the relative easiness of the mission, as well as the time spent to solo it.
The best time to gold ratio would be conflict hm spamming. However, I'd think that you will get sick of it by 40 minutes mark.
If you can clear mobs fast enough, BFT2 is also a good thing to solo and spam. Offering is decent provided that you can put everything in the circle.
Shadow wizard is pretty good if you can get yourself to have few lucky finishes, and able to clear one orb within 2-3 minutes.
Among tara missions, scc is probably the easiest. Other non-castle missions like lingering darkness or enemy behind takes too long I'd say (not that it actually does, but only relative to scc), since they have orbs.
You can do castle missions if you get bored of non-castle missions. They're fast-paced, and they generally offer you good amount of gold. I personally like spamming Fomor Attack or Sulfur Spider if I were to get myself up and try to get money through missions. Those two give you tons of mobs, and the bosses are easier than the other two castle missions. Also, for Sulfur Spider, if the mobs get stuck, it's lolez mode. For Sulfur Spider, I equip my thames set on and fight with control bars and lance. The spiders hit 1 on me, so even if I get cornered, I just summon a pegasus and puppet or wm them all.
And these aren't missions or dungeons… but what you can do is to go to scathach beach and hunt the giant queen hornet, or crystal golems for enchants. Hornet gives butterfly, while the golems give colossus. Not as reliable as it used to be, since the mana shield nerf some people ditch their butterfly (I did too), and a gacha pooped out colossus bars. If the grinding is worth it or not is up to you, but I personally wouldn't do this for long time, until the colossus items start to become more uncommon again.

Conflict is by far the best mission for party play. I suggest finding some people to spam that with, will be worth your time.
But for solo, BFT2 or Shadow Wizard would be the best.

Shadow Warrior can be decent gold if you can spam it fast enough. This depends almost entirely on the rewards you get, so it's hit or miss.

Well I tried soloing the Shadow Wizard on int, and that took waaaaay too long... and I had to rely on pets because of multi-aggro wizards/archers and non-stop spawning. :( I'd have died without them. It was good gold and proffing, though... but I don't think I can handle it alone again. >_<

Missions are generally better for rewards only if it's hm or elite. Otherwise you're wasting your time. If you're soloing shadow wiz on int, not much point since int gives too little of a reward. Don't bother soloing missions until you can solo almost everymission on hm without damage/time problem.
As for solo content, commerce is probably your best bet.

I would like a piano, but doubt I'll ever get 5 million ducats. XD I've been stuck at 60k for a long time. Can't carry too much stuff or the bandits get too hard. >_< I just realized today that there's a daily quest for it though, so I will be doing it more often now along with my daily PTJs.
