Amateur Moneymaking

I really am not funded in any way as of right now (like 5 mil) cuz I just came back. But a friend gifted me a personal shop which will help me merch a ton. Now the question I'm asking is what is the best thing to merch/anything that I can farm and sell/where to start with such low funding.

Thanks in advance

@duriel123: Wow, thanks for that very informative response I should definitely start doing Gollux runs. Maybe after exams are over xD. And yea, I completely suck at merching so the only way for me to make money would probably be farming and selling.

If you do 3 runs per day and kill easy mode, thats 11 coins per day. A reinforced ring costs 90 coins, so thats about 8 days of farming (you get some coins from the initial prequests). A reinforced ring sells for ~2b, so thats 2b in 8 days with about 10-15min of effort per day. A reinforced earring costs 110 coins and sells for 1.5-2b. Superior accessories are a little less efficcient, but still pretty good netherless.

If you want to go hardcore, you can make multiple accounts and farm gollux multiple times everyday. Obviously this is a lot more time consuming considering you have to do the prequests for every char (which takes about 2 hours per char if you know what you are doing), but the profit is far greater. This was basically how I scrapped together my starting funds, I'm sure there are more elegant and efficient methods like merching, but I am talentless when it comes to making money and can only do monotonous labor like farming gollux.

So yea, if you are willing to put time into farming evo, you might as well farm gollux/commerci instead because it is far superior in terms of efficiency.

The cores for lvl 110 drop in Evo lab is 1mil, so I'm not sure that's gonna be a huge profit? Plus extracting services...

[quote=VoidWreck]But how can an unfunded person do Gollux? I mean, they could probably solo easy Gollux, but it would take a long time before they have enough coins to purchase a Gollux equip from the shop.[/quote]
Even if you are doing easy mode, its still more efficient than farming evo for superior crystals.

[quote=duriel123]To be honest, I'm not sure why people always recommend evo system, the meso rate is actually terrible...
The easiest way for unfunded/new players to get started is to start farming gollux/commerci, which has a much better rate compared to evo system.
Selling HS/Kanna service is also a good option if you don't mind swallowing your pride.[/quote]

[quote=Uonatrik]Nope, they drop from evo monsters just like any other core. Hilla just drops Necro weapons directly after killing her.[/quote]

Ah, thanks for the clarification. What's the drop rate of the necro cores though? Do they drop often?

Do evolution lab and use black crystal cores, they sell rather well.

[quote=Axnslicer]That's ridiculously slow. If you count your earnings I expect you'll find your net gain is like, 1 M/hour.[/quote]
The earnings are completely dependent on your luck. If you feel lucky, you can try and maybe get some 9%/12% stat half earrings. On the other hand, you can also spend hours and tons of materials and get maybe a few 3%s...

[quote=SilverFoxR]Use Evo to farm for materials you can break down into crystals. Go to Ardentmill and mine ore. Use these to make earrings. Sell earrings that have good potential. Break down any earring that doesn't. Repeat. Earrings are pretty easy to make and, since any class can use them, so long as you get some nice potentials, they should sell decently.[/quote]

[quote=squirrel67]id start off buying superior item crystals for cheap and selling for high in your shop. Cheap in scania is like 1.2m ea and high is like 2m.[/quote]

Sadly... People only buys the superior when they are less than 1.8mil right now... Any higher gets very hard. So buying at 1.2 and making selling even at 1.8 will barely make a profit so... might as well farm his own.

OT: Evo lab, put in level 110 Armor/Weapon or Necro, Drop rate and Black crystals. Loot everything and break all the equips (extract) by being an alchemist (best for making mesos) and refine all the ores you get.

Superior = 1.5ish on average for easy selling
Advance = 30-100k but basing off luck if anyone even buys...
Black Crystal = 500k-800k basing off how much people are willing to buy.

Once you get 150 coins, buy the Acclerator and unlock all the cores.
Then you put in Armor/weapon, Black Crystal, Mineral Drop+, Drop+, Population, and Juniper or Hossop (herbs)

Daily DIPQ and loot all the equips
Krexel = tons of equips.

Have fun and GL~

If you're lv 160+ do the Ninja castle questline. You get a free advanced equip enhancement scroll, a special potential scroll, and a free 100% 3 line bonus potential scroll (all tradeable). Easy few hundred mil right there

-Zakum/Hilla twice a day (with a guild/buddies if you can't solo)
-If you wanna merch, start learning prices and learning what items are in demand right now(For example, Cubic and Cubic Chaos Blades in Scania)
-Evo World with level 110 equipment core or level 120 necromancer core, go to link 3 and farm equips, extract them for superior item crystals.
-Hunt elite bosses
-Do Gollux prequests, solo easy mode gollux when you can and save coins, equips in coin shop go for 1b+.
-Farm Big Spider familiar, I get ~5 familiars per hour, which is around 75m.(Isn't as efficient as Elite Boss Hunting, but more reliable source of income)
