[quote=JimmySplorgen]It used to be so simple. You'd level up, get stronger, kill strong bosses, and sell their drops. These days, equips are virtually worthless unless their potential is [i]fantastic[/i], and you need NX to sell helmets and pendants and such. You could even hunt for certain skillbooks at certain high leveled monsters, before secret mastery books took over. In that context, telling someone to "level up" would make sense. But nowadays? Eh. Taking advantage of events, and getting lucky occasionally, is how I make money; I don't know how others do it.

The people you asked -- maybe they didn't know, either, so they just repeated the antiquated method that used to work for everyone.[/quote]
I completely agree with this post. When Crafting came out I went from 2~5mil -> 250mil in less then 3 days. Take advantage of new events is the way to go.
