This isn't really a statistic/forumla for the game, but I feel this information may be useful for people, so it's why I'm posting it.
I decided to make this simply because I'm on a goal to raise enough money for a Sun war platemail (just a personal goal of mine) and I wanted to know how fast I could make money. Also, people have told me that woodcutting is the fastest way to make money, which I know is far from true (at least at this point).
Here's some information about my woodcutting. I am a Talented woodcutter.
It took me 14 minutes and 34 seconds to get 30 Ginko wood. This time dose not include the walk it takes to get to a grove and to step in front of a tree.
Increments of Ginko wood recieved per tree:
4, 4, 2, 6, 2, 4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1
Total trees cut: 12
Times axes broke: 4 (replaced it within a couple seconds)
Number of "whacks": 15
If it takes me 14:34 to get 30 ginko wood, how much time will it take to get 1000:
1000 / 30 = 33 (the number of trips it will take if I always got 30 wood)
33 x 14.34 = 473 minutes, 22 seconds
473.22 / 60 (to get hours) = 7 to 8 hours.*
* Once again, time does not include the walk to a grove/to a tree.
I'm well aware that the ginko wood times will ALWAYS vary. It doesnt always take 12 trees, I don't always lose that many axes, etc. This is a mere (and IMHO fair) time for how long it takes.
If I sold 1000 Ginko wood at...
400k: 400 / 30 = 13k worth of Ginko wood per trip
450k: 450 / 30 = 15k worth of Ginko wood per trip
7 to 8 hours JUST for a measly 400-450k. I tried something else: amber hunting in Rabbit2.
Some information about my Rabbit2 amber hunting:
- I go R3 with a base mana of 9.6k, and the following equipment: Plasmic substratum, 2 99 Red boots, Substratum headpiece. (9.6k + 3.5k + 4k + 1k = 18.1k mana)
- I ONLY use Plasmic substratum to get to R3, otherwise this is my equipment:
Weapon: Enchanted spike
Armor: Wind platemail
Helm: Substratum headpiece
Accessory: 2 Ambrosia
Sub-accessory: 2 99 Red boots
- Obviously, I'm a warrior, and I use Watchful eye to trigger all of the Rabbit ambushes I can
It takes me about one rage period (938 seconds or about 16 minutes) to get 100 Amber under the right circumstances (such as I'm the only person in the room, minimal lag). Once again, this doesnt factor in the time it takes to walk to Rabbit2.
16 minutes, so how long will it take to get 1000 amber:
1000 / 100 = 10 trips
10 x 16 = 160 minutes
160 / 60 (hours) = 2.6 hours
If I sold 1k Amber at:
350k: 350 / 10 = 35k per 100 amber
400k: 400 / 10 = 40k per 100 amber
16 minutes for 35k-40k worth of amber. Not only that, but I can get ten times that much in about 3 hours time. This is the FASTEST method of getting money that I know of. However..I don't do it that much because first of all:
- It's boring
- The circumstances aren't always perfect (I have lots of lag, and theres usually people in the rooms)
- Takes at least 1 Sonhi pipe to go to R3 (not that big of a deal but still)
As for Wool...
I recorded myself at 2 minutes and 40 seconds to get 25 Wool. To be perfectly fair, however, there are always going to be people in the sheep fields, there'll always be a lack of spawns, and I happened to get somewhat lucky with the amount of sheep I saw/killed. So, I will calculate my time at 3 minutes and 30 seconds instead.
Info:
- I have a wife who I use Love to in order to get to the center sheep field quickly (coords 105,97 or at least around this area)
- I'm using a PA with Flank/backstab
- I one-hit all sheep
- This is the sheep field in the Wilderness, NOT Woodlands (I didnt know there was a sheep field there D:)
For 1000 wool:
1000 / 25 = 40 trips
40 x 3.5 = 140 minutes
140 / 60 = 2.3 hours
Wool goes for 8k/25, but 1k usually goes for 360k, which is 9k per 25 wool (360 / 25).
Summing up:
13k/15k worth of Ginko wood per 14 minutes and 30 seconds
9k worth of Wool per 3 minutes and 30 seconds (technically 8k, but this counts if I was going to get 1k)
35-40k worth of Amber per 16 minutes
7-8 hours to get 1k Wood for 400-450k
2-3 hours to get 1k Wool for 360k
2-3 hours to get 1k Amber for 350-400k
Best way of getting money in this case is either gathering Wool or Amber.
Still going to calculate gathering Ore (I'm an Adept miner)
Feel free to correct my math. I'm horrible at it, and it shows.
Only difference is that with time you start to earn more money by increasing your woodcutting skill. Aside from stats, which you wont gain very fast soloing, your amber skill stays the same. Except when you get up to rab 3 it'll slow down again until you get the stats to effectively solo it as well.
There was a time when I could get 1k wood in 35-45min, but I guess that is long past gone these days.
Well, it's also one of the hardest way to get money, as you HAVE to be a Chung Ryong who is Rabbit2. You can almost be out of Rab2 after spending 99 experience.
But yeah, I've been slowly leveling up a warrior to do just this. Not only is it fast, it's also relativly fun for me.
I have long used Rabbit 2 as my primary source of cash. I always have at least one fighter in that cave. I deliberately killed my rogue many times over just to stay in that cave till she made legendary gemcutter! Now she is Il san. I kept my warrior there till she maxed the cave and maxed experience then bought to R3. Now I've got another maxed rogue cleaning up in there.
I've got 2 legendary weavers, one of them a GM tailor and the other a GM carpenter, adept minder and GM woodcutter.
I haven't done the detailed analysis that GrandCross has done but he's confirmed what I have long known, rabbit 2 is the best amber source in the whole game! It's a bit tougher for a rogue than a warrior to efficiently gather ambers there but there isn't that much difference.
If you haven't got a wool post (someone you can ring to or approach), then gathering wool isn't the way to go. Recently the sheep spawn in Woodlands has gotten so slow it isn't worth going there anymore.
Rabbit 2 is the way to go hands down.
My next goal is to get my R3 buff enough to solo mantis and ogre caves then lobster! In the meantime, my il san rogue does duty gathering dark ambers.
People need to bring smelting/smithing back so more people buy ore
The use of the love rings significantly increases abilities to deposit for wool and mining, and a lesser extent wooding, because it's a smaller walk to a grove.
I don't know how far it is to walk from a grove to an axe vendor. However, you can have moe axes than mining picks with you at any one time since you need just one slot spare for wood, yet you need 4 slots for metal and double the number for tools. And, of course, wooling requires no tools so there's never a need to walk to a shop.
What I'd like to know is if the nagnang woodlands will ever be the same. After it was changed, I tried it out, and cleared the entire field by myself and waited for a spawn. Loving the event right now because for the first time I can actually get experience and some money instead of either doing a boring craft/gather, or boss hunting(which I've hardly done anyway).
Two questions. First, in rabbit2, do you just normally kill before they can run?(I.E., when low health, I have slight problems with that at low rage in rab3) And two, when do you think a warrior is prepared to kill quickly enough to make a decent amount of money in rabbit3?(Chung ryong)
Didn't know there were rooms of rabbits that DON'T run. Rabbit just isn't my big hunting spot =P Are they the same rabbits/rooms in rabbit3? And if so, which? I lost my wooling spot for now and after the event is over, rab3 seems like a decent place to go for some cash.
fastest way to make money - scam
The largest rabbit in all 3 levels of the cave runs. If you are max or near max you can kill them before they run. If you are a rogue you can either amnesia them or you can drain them when they run. Another reason why rogues and warriors are about equal in that cave.
I think you need to be an R5 and tons of vita before you tackle rabbit3. My R3 with 19k vita can handle Rabbit3 but only 1 at a time and chomping on livers.
EE would definitely help in rab3...il-san doesn't cut it all too well. They just run away too often, even on like r3-r4. Not much testing I can do since 1/4-3/4 of the rabbits I attack never actually die =P
=) I wish someone would post how long it takes to get dark ambers since a lot of users like to go DA hunting to get money. I've heard of warriors ee san + that can Da hunt faster than any class. so in this case...would dark amber hunting be the fastest?
Know what'd be neat?
If kru made a special arena, you could enter (seperated by level/stats) and if are killed you lost x amount of money. But like, no more than 5%.
And it'd be even better if... even if you have money in your bank, it automatically gives it to you when you enter the arena.
Now THAT would be a fun way to get money!
Koinu, back a long long time ago I was an Il san poet (about 160/120) and my husband was an Ee san R5.
In 91 ogres we could generally pull in about 200 dark ambers an hour. I was master gemcutter and would make about 100k per batch. Including selling the Tarnished ambers, that would pull in about 228k/hour.
It's probably alot faster nowadays, with polearms and maging and stuff.
It takes my C2 rogue about 30 to 40 minutes to get 100 ambers from rabbit2. It takes my C4 Il san rogue close to or a bit more than an hour to get 100 dark ambers. It depends on how many others are hunting in the mantis/ogre caves. It takes my sam mage about the same amount of time as my Il san rogue to gather dark ambers. It takes the mage and the rogue much longer in rabbit 3 mainly because the traps are hard to find and the rabbits run.
so... hunt people for money. Is that what you're suggesting Kami?
Woodcutting is way slower now with the new system, which is sad because the new system made it a lot easier to do without getting carpal tunnel. On the old system as a master cutter I used to get somewhere around 2k wood a day, spending about 2 to 3 hours. Now it takes me several days to get 1k at about the same time spent per day. Because of this I don't cut wood anymore. ><
IMO Mining is the way to go IF you can find someone to buy your ore off you all the time OR you smelt and smith. Here is the breakdown that I have.
With a Master miner I can gather around this 12.5/25/10/2 in about 4 minutes including transit time. If I do that for an hour I can get in 12 runs in an hour without straining that's 150/300/125/25 giving myself an aditional 5 high and 1 very high for the time I have leftover.
If I sold that I could get 36/40/60/15 assuming I sell for 6/8/12/15 that's 151k an hour mining.
My friend has a legendary smelter, master smith with a 12/25/10/1 load of ore he can easily get about 20k smelting and smithing generally ranging between 18 and 23k. If I were to get same skill as him assuming same numbers as before I could get 240k an hour any time of day without having to look for people to sell my results to.
A Legendary smelter (only thing I have numbers for), master miner who gets the same loads as I do can smelt each load and get an average of 25 mixed metal per load. With 12 loads coming in an hour that's 300 metal an hour, Mixed metal can sell for 700/1k 1k takes 3.3 hours 700/3.3= 212k/hour If you get lucky and sell for 750k/k you make 227/hour
Lets break this down
Just mining (master miner):151k/hour
Mining+Smelting(Master+Legendary):212k/hour
Mining+Smelting+Smithing(Master+Legendary+Master):240k/hour
Using other people's numbers:
GrandCross (woodcutting):50k/hour
GrandCross (reg Amber hunting):153k/hour (But also is maxed rab2 meaning no stat up)
GrandCross (Wooling IF you bother getting 1k): 156k/hour
GrandCross (Wooling 1 hour only): 139k (Will never get faster)
Rhew (Dark amber w/ partner): 228k/hour split 2 ways:114k/hour
AllyGator (reg ambers):80k/hour
AllyGator (dark amber):90k/hour
Ace (Woodcutting): 160k/hour
PureLight (Dark amber (No partner)) 130k/hour(Cave to myself)
PureLight (Dark amber (w/ partner)) 260k/hour(Cave to ourselves) after split 130k/hour
Sounds great, but as any other skill, you need to waste half your life getting anywhere with it(and losing potential money along the way as you use your ore/metal instead of selling). Thanks for the numbers though, always wondered if smithing was worth it. *Edit* Oh and I have to say, your results for smelting and then smelting + smithing is off because that's obviously longer than an hour since you have to refine and manufacture your goods. Not sure on the exact length that would add, but some, anyhow.
If I had the woodlands from a month+ prior, I'd say that 139k estimate is way off. Minimum 200k an hour when I had it to myself if not 240k+(I got close to 1k an hour). Of course with it now being absolutely horrible comparing it alongside it's former self...I've given up wooling and have gone on to woodcutting. Extremely slow(as I'm ALMOST talented), but atleast it's easy and for most purposes, afk, lol. All I pay attention to is that I have an axe in hand, am not full on wood, am facing a tree, and no one is talking to me. That, atleast, beats any other skill because you must put a bit of concentration into them(or amber hunting).
Whats the mining rate for someone who just started?
K I wasn't sure how fast you can actually smelt/smith because I don't do any skills currently except woodcutting. Got EE with poems and any other character I get ee will get it the same way or not at all =P
Nice post Grand Cross, but I think you should take into account how long it took you to actually get a maxed rage 3 into the equation aswell, people can pretty much start woodcutting out of the gate, and wooling effectivley within a short while.
Some other goods options for making money is Rabbit races, I've made a lot of money (millions) over a long period of time.
Someone mentioned scamming... (This is waaaaaay of topic) and I was actually thinking of that maybe 2 months ago when someone was trying to scam me, I couldn't help but laugh his attempt was pitiful, not to glorify scamming or anything but back in the day there were some GENIUS scams that had tons of preperation and thought put into them (I never condoned it, and never did it but I was always amazed at the complexity some of these people had with their scams, where as today they are the complete opposite.)
This is some really good information. I will do a chart for master woodcutting today. Maybe Amber hunting as an Ee mage..
Okay! Master wood cutter here!
I did 5 trips.
Average time is : 6 Minutes 35 Seconds
Thats.. 211.66 minutes to get 1000 wood.. thats 211.66/60 ( hours ) thats 3.52 so thats 3 Hours and 31 minutes ( because .52 is 52% of 60 minutes)
Comes out to 113k/hour about...
My best gathering method is dark amber hunting in 91 mantis or ogre.
I gather 50-60 Dark ambers solo per 15 minutes plus tarnished. However the tarnished covers repairs, so I just don't count those.
Thats about 200k an hour if I was bored enough to do it and sold in large batches, and I don't have to share since I'm doing this alone.
However a high powered Ee/Sam rogue is the only path that could probably do this well.
I'm doubt a comparable warrior at the same stats could do the same, due to the fact that rogues can continually LS for consistently high damage on black mantis. Plus I use bladestorm and snare for higher efficiency. A warrior couldn't vita with the same consistency, damage, and safety that a rogue can.
I don't have a warrior though, so these are just assumptions based on my thoughts. Correct me if I'm wrong =P
But yea, dark ambers are currently the fastest way I can gather to make money, but I'm usually too lazy, haha
Sxy
http://www.nexusatlas.com/nexfiles/skillinformation.php
I've just updated this page. Check my math where I've had to calculate time for 1k gathered. I have horrible math skills.
I have not included prices because that varies with the amount you sell, the buyer and the market.
Wooling is my favorite way of making money.
Hi, I wonder how much dark ambers an Ee warrior can get in 1 hour by soloing in rabbit 3?
My warrior currently is Il r6, but he only gathers about 30 dark ambers in 15 minutes...it's slow. I also have an Ee rogue. Would it be faster if I use my rogue to gather dark ambers by soloing in 90 mantis? Any suggestions? Thanks!
Yesterday my Il san rogue, c4 (but I only used c3) took 1 hr 45 min to gather 100 dark amber in 91 mantis. She also maxed on tarnished for 12k cash.
i guess that answers my question if warriors can solo darks as fast as rogues, haha
I think that this topic pertains to the lower stat/rank players, although, my idea can affect players that are anywhere form level 99+.
I have found that being a 99+ poet (That is atleast Assassin 1) can make a decent profit on soloing vortex bosses.
This is form of making money is semi-popular, but from a far, might seem like its not very profitable.
My il san poet collects anywhere from 20 regs to 50 regs from a boss. 20-40 darks, and generally 20 whites.
Yes the Reg. and Dark are low numbers, but gathering 20 white ambers from a boss (I'll say it takes about 10-15 mins depending on the number of 'ARGGGS') is decent money if you add it up over time. When I solo bosses, I generally craft the ambers myself, making lower profit than if I were to sell them.
Also, if you're a 99+ rogue with Cunning(or SP fury), you can usually gather 100 dark ambers in about 2 cunnings, maybe a little more or less.
100 darks goes for about 85-90k and say you do this for 3 hours, you will have made 180k per hour for 3 hours making you a total of 540k if you sell the ambers. (If you craft them, and are Master+ gem cutter, thats even more profit)
-------------
I'll go a little off topic here and cover some money making strategies that do not include gathering. I'll go ahead and list this in order from least chance of money lost (Gamble factor) to most dangerous.
Buy/Sell-- Many people make a decent ammount of money (over time) by buying an item for less than its community value, and selling it for more. If you have a little bit of money, you'll have to start with cheap items, (lvl 50 hand items, 95 weapons). Soon you'll have enough to invest in somthing that is worth more money. Over time ( Depends on how frequently you do this) you will be making 1,000,000 - 2,000,000 coin profits, maybe even more. You have to have patience in doing this, and in most situations, its very safe because unless there is an event where the item's price goes down, or there is money inflation, you'll be safe in doing this.
Boss Hunting-- Boss hunting was my first source of significant income. Yes, some say there are ways to make boss drops become more frequent, although (and I agree) they are never 100% accurate. Try to focus on caves that yeild items that are worth lots of money. Also, don't be afraid to boss hunt in big groups. Yes if you get a drop it will be less money because of splitting it, but also remember that the boss will die faster, and yeild more drops over time. Because boss drops and boss hunting groups have become much more frequent, the profit has decreased over time, but is still VERY nice money.
Gambling (Merchant)-- Notice that this is covering Merchant gambling, rather than /roll. That is because Merchant gambling is decently safer than /roll. Many people knows how the process works. A Merchant guide casts the gamble spell on you, and you either win or lose. Note: When gambling with a Merchant, remember that they may charge to host a gamble between you and another player. Warning: As it stands now, you should only gamble with a Merchant guide (They are the only ones that should have the spell anyway). Common sense tells you that this source of making money is very risky, as there is a chance of loosing everyting you bet, or doubling what you bet. --- If you decide to gamble big, you can become very wealthy, or very broke. (I'll be honest. Making big gambles is the only thing that makes my heart race in this game-- I gambled 20,000,000 coins last night because I was bored). Now I'm not telling you to gamble huge, but yes, I gambled 20,000,000 and ended up with 40,000,000 coins.(True story)
Gambling(/Roll)-- This potential source of making money is best to do with close friends, and maybe even well aquanted clan mates. There are multiple strategies in making money such as : Gambling with one other person, say 100k gamble. You have a 50% chance to win, and if you do, you double up. Also, you can gamble in groups(I've done up to 5 people, personally). This way, say 5 people want to gamble 100k. That makes the pot 500k, a 400% profit, compared to a 100% profit in a two person gamble. This also means you have a 1-in-5 chance of winning, lowering you odds of winning. It all depends how big of a gamble you want to take. Just be VERY careful who you gamble with, and how much you gamble with. ALSO: Make sure everyone gambling knows the rules by which you are gambling. IF you gamble high ammount (not recommened in /roll gambles), make sure you take SS's of everyone involved in the gamble agreeing to the rules of the gamble.
I hope this can help those of you that are interested in making good money in Nexus. These are only a few of the most popular ways to make money, but not the only ones.
-Brant
How I started making money was a true risk.. I was levelling and selling the Acorns to the Butcher at the same time.. Grinding squirrels till about 20.. from level 1.. Its not fun.. =P Had about... 20k when I hit level 20, and thought eh.. might as well gamble 10k for fun..
I won.. sweeet... Bought an Ilbon knife for 15k and sold it for 30k.. WooT makin profit...
Bought a Whisper bracelet for 30k ( Super Lucky ) sold it for 50k, Bwahahahaha!
And It keeps going and going... Yes it takes time, but Hey, It works! By the end of my second day playing, I was level 40 with about 200k.
You guys ever try soloing vortex bosses on poets? I get about 100 ambers 80 darks and 20 white in about 20 minutes not bad for little effort
Could I get some info on how this is done? For my BB more than me since I don't even have a poet, I really don't like playing a poet, but it would be nice to know and maybe he'd like to solo some.
The hardest part to it would be getting past first room if you're alone (I find this the hardest at least) once you hit second room go for the third cast harden body (remember boss likes to approach right on top of you) now go between rooms and imediately cast barrier if you do it right the boss should stay on top of you now wait for some monsters to come and hope they surround you without letting the boss off you they'll try swinging at you but since you have harden body they'll only hit the boss he'll die he'll call his guardians they'll die you pick up easy
You know I've done this serveral times and the boss has never summoned me once weird
You know just thought of it ... the boss isn't going after you hes going after his own minions because they're hitting him
Slog's ponderous club
Barrage
2 Ancient daemon hearts
Wind platemail
White casque/no flutes (Not worth dura loss), and Titanium shield
=
3 swing the normal mantis in the 91 mantis caves.
merskee even uses Mesh substratum membrane when dark amber hunting.
I can also cycle rage six if using a Slog's club OR Brutal shank (Slog's is better damage)
With the above setup I was able to get 92 Dark ambers in a single rage, with the entire bottom mantis cave to myself (Even caught the boss and Karak'd him, doesn't slow down the rage at all)
Use a scroll at 3 seconds on rage six, deposit darks, drop tarnished in my house. Gate south Buya and fake-sell exp to vita + mana to recover after rage six loss, and return to mantis within about 2 minutes including the walk.

Genius!
ALL of you guys are retarded
k- vortex boss hunt
scam
gamble
best kthx
It takes time, whatever you are planning to do. Ever since they revamped the woodlands, players could no longer do some "amethyst-hunting" at the dog cave. Ever since they lowered down the sheep spawn, wool prices skyrocketed and so does cloth prices.
The best way of earning money, in my opinion, asides from gathering materials (which I don't think is even wise to do anymore - it eats up so much of your time, I don't think it's worth it) would be to gamble with a merchant proxy or.. well, do the classic barter.
It takes time as well, sure. But personally I gained more insight of market values of a wider varieties of items compared to spending my time walking, going invisible, ambush and filch. Besides, by bartering, you get to do some other things (hunting, PKing, roleplaying or even gathering materials as you go along!).
Vortex boss hunting is another neat alternative too, as many has mentioned. But don't expect to earn much from it unless you are actually Il+. I think the only new vortex item that is worth the time would be either New luck amulets (then again I think many rogues prefer Shee-Lee rings over this) or New claws (but there aren't many people who stays 99 to the point they reach water1 stats).

19/9 Chongun SoW2 takes 16:20 on average for 100 ambers in rabbit2. So its not just for NPC paths ^^
And it is by far the fastest way I have ever made moneyz.
Best is Dark amber hunting when you have a cave to yourself and can handle to cycle your mana through your rage/cunning/whatever. To be successfull, it requires you to be of a certain stat and best be a warrior. Then I'ld say it's easily possible to go up to 300k-350k/hour, taking a little risk on rage6. As an Ee-rogue it's already possible to get to 200k/hour.
When it comes to gathering materials without a certain requirement of your character, Mining is by far the most lucrative. It's tedious but as pointed out by PureLight, you can get about 500-600 mixed ore per hour, depending on your own mining speed. The update where it no longer requires you to pick up your mining pick should slighty improve those numbers. It's been a while since I last mined (overdose of mining is bad for you).
Depending on skill level what you get will vary greatly. Skill levels advance rather fast in the beginning so I wouldn't count those 12min loads as an average for a beginner. I know that an accomplished miner could go just as fast at getting 25 (total) ore as getting 25 wool in a slightly crowded wilderness field (2-3 other people in) before spawn changes (tested with various people). The quality of that 25 ore would be good for at least 7-8k. Ofcourse, Ore is a hard commodity to sell. I've seen a few good buyers around though recently.
Above that mining is also good for an occasional piece of amethyst, topaz, quartz, (3) metal, amber, silver ore, gold ore or mica. Even if you disregard the mica those little extras will cover your expenses for materials and deposit costs.
To end with, when it comes to mining, just hope for lost mines to come around (without mining bug in your cave) and instead of hunting boss drops, just mine ambers and diamonds and get a nice easy 500k/hour out of mining.
P.S. : I've managed (back in '98) to get maxed money from selling Ore to Thane on an unregistered character within two days of mining. (important sidenote, do not sell your ore to Thane, players pay better).
I like how everyone says Buy low sell high
wonder who buy's high and sells low
as for me-
-Gambling-
Im a little addicted to gambling in game XD but it has paid off really nicely on more than one occasion. I would suggest making one big bet every once in a while over a lot of smaller bets. smaller bets will keep you with money so you dont go completely broke but you often end up even or not making a substantial profit whats the point in the gambling in the first place if your not making a big profit
-Mining-
Mining is a good way to make money, I normally sell all my poor and medium ore and smelt any high and very high ore I get. this way im working on a refining skill (although very slowly) while still getting some money for whatever I might need, most like gambling.
-Vortex bossing-
I spent TONS of time vortex bossing when I was right around chaos stats I got a group together with some friends in game and we would boss for a couple hours almost every night. but when I was bossing I used to be able to get 8.5m for an Old claw and like 6m for an Old daemon heart and all the EE san drops were pretty pricey, but my bossing group kinda messed that up for other people.
and if your dedicated enough to it you are bound to get some nice things ive personally found 3 armors and 1 weapon from vortex all of these will catch you a rough 5m or so depending on the item
-Woodcutting-
Easiest gathering skill ever. put on the auto swing "feature" turn up the volume on nexus so you can barely hear the annoying thwacking of the axe. learn the sounds of swinging without an axe swinging at air and swinging at a tree then you dont even have to look at your screen and dont have to worry about being caught autoing by the nexus nazis
also this skill is really quick to level up in compared to mining ive spent 1/2 as much time woodcutting as mining and im an expert woodcutter and a talented miner
Yes, that update had been implemented already.
A great way to make money with the tracks is have 3 people all bet 100k on diff rabbits then wait for the race.. If you win you get 400k? Or 399k... anyways you make 100k each time. Better odds of winning! If all 3 of the 5 rabits lose then you're out 300k.. I donno I did this for awhile with a couple friends and we made like 700k and didn't lose once. 3/5 chance is better then 1/5 chance anyways so if you can play your cards right (which is completely random!) then you can make some serious money
community events, gambling and wooling tends to do me good, with a little bit of dark ambering peppered in there (i only do this because a legendary 'cutter crafts them for me).
wooling is (or at least was) a lot easier to do in the late night hours when school is in session. while it's not AS productive now (due to recent influx of non-american players), i can still gather 1k wool in about an hour and a half (which goes for, what, 400k?)
and as someone said earlier, playing the market is always a great option.
Making money for me is easy, it just comes down to, if I want to spend the time to do it.
Anyways some good ways that helped me make money was Community Events. You will be surprised how much money one can make with these. Entering Story Contests and Poetry Contests are especially great if prizes are cash prizes because not many people enter these. Also the live events are just as good and even if you don't win cash, you can win items to be sold for cash and usually not many enter these events as well.
Another great way to make money is crafting, yes it is a pain to craft staring at a screen, but it is worth it when your skill increases.
Boss hunting. Whether it is vortex or mythic, you can get lots of money from sents and bosses. I find Keys sell great and they usually can sell for 10k to 12k a piece.
Because I'm an elixir fanatic, I collect A LOT of dyes. Usually dyes sell for 1k a piece, but I lilke to sell mine for 500 coins a piece as I find more customers who rather buy at 500c to 1k each.
I used to be able to consistently gather 1k wool in 35-40 minutes in the nagnang wool fields. Last time I did this was around December. Earlier in the thread people were talking about a supposed nerf to the sheep, is this true?
Wait for Lost Kingdom to hold a raffle for a Silver teapot at 100k a ticket, buy 16 tickets for 1.6m and then win the teapot and sell it BACK to Warik for 17m.
Works for me.
I typically Dark amber hunt. I get roughly 50-60 a "rage" so with walk and deposit time I get 200ish an hour.
I get 1k in 5 hours that nets me 900k-1m. I am actually thinking about getting my talented gemmer up to Legendary so I can make 1.1m/1k eventually.

Rogue > I can still do about 80-100 darks/cun in mantis (with sam blood/black rings/wind armor; if theres not a bunch of people in it)
Warrior > About 60-80dk/rage in mantis
> About 40-60dk/rage in Rab3 (Plus boss drops)
> About 20-40yw/rage in Lobster (if you can ever get the room)
I also carry 4 amber bags on my warrior, and 1 on rogue.
Never had the patience to woodcut for more then an hour at a time..
edit: Feels like some places have had drop rates nerfed a bit maybe? I remember able to get 100 no prob @ Ee Rogue, fill up in less then 2 rages in rab3, and it took me 2.5hrs to get 120 yellow... @_@
