Making money 101

Welcome to my class. Today we are going to learn how to make money if you have a lvl 40+ elf.

First of all, at that lvl you should be using vt, and have b2s. If you do not then you need to hunt oren good money drops there, join group hunts, and hunt for resources. When we were low level...back track on this blog you will see how we raised money kicking ents. People still do make money this way. There are fewer bots in the elf forest now. SO the number 1 priority for elves regardless of thier stat build is...you guessed it b2s. You could even hunt in Ivory tower, do not use pets, it is difficult, but not impossible.

I must say, joining bp hunts is the best way. Cause if few bzels drop, or nzels, or whatever, you can make an easy 600-700k. Join fi hunts...remember many drops there can go for millions. Ok not many but some. We got a f-bowgun, at todays rates it is over 10mill adena. If you can get a ascroll, or if gmino spawns....bingo....300k-to 2mill depending on drops and party size.

So once you have b2s, you can go to fv for longer periods of time, and hunt until your over wieght. Great for exp, esp if you make use of elemental falldown. It will make your vt's stronger. I even use vt on the iron golems on 43...guess what a mop weak to air, can be made slightly weak to water.

Ok to make BIG money, consistently that is. Work on your mr, and er...and buy a cheap damascus sword. See class...this takes time, but not HUGE amounts of money. Firstly elves we get nice mr to boot. SO grab a mr helm, get it to +4, along with a mr chainmail, and bcomr...at +4 you should have 90+ mr with your spells. Now to hit 100% get an elven shield (+5 mr resist).
You do not need to + up it up. Do it over time as you get cash from spell books, gems, and other drops.

Here is where your damascus sword comes into play..it is not damagable so you can wack on dragons with it.

So basically you will have +4 mr helm, chainmail, and cloak, while wearing an elven shield, wielding a damascus.

Spells elemental falldown, vt, b2s, elven mr spells.

Additional items....fire resist rings...yeah..your gonna need 2 of em.

NOW class sit back down...we are not finished yet!

Do you think you need huge amount so ac? Or high levels of fire er? Not really. You do need to have plenty of cheap 41f scrolls, or even a cheap 41f charm. (they are like 4mill)

Now because of the kg rings stats i decided to try something. Use them with a loss of 10 ac, but a gain of +2 int, and wis. Result... I kicked butt. Ghost hurt me but with higer int i took em out fast with vt. End result high ac is not really needed. Right now I have -41 ac with the kg rings. So you dont need HIGH ac to hunt 41f, you need brains...if you see 2 dragons have someone help you by having them kill 1, then you elemental falldown and vt it to death.

Lesser dragons look scary, thier firey breath is a killer. BUT I have found that the closer you are to them...right up to thier nose...vt is more effective. That is why I do not recommend using a bow....you pop an arrow instead of vting....and poof there is a firey breath of searing dragon breath, that is not healed by vt...instead....you fire a second arrow in panic...trying to get close for vt....dragon breathes on you again = dead elf...why? You keep shooting arrows, you cant get close enough. There are people who use bows with skill, it can be done. But this is for people who are broke...pulsar180, and munchy to name a few..who do not hunt 41f...so DO NOT BRING YOUR BOW IF YOUR A FREAKING NOOB AT DRAGON KILLING. Please dont. MAKE SURE YOU ARE FULL LAW. Damm...pulsar180 you would not have lost your +7 xbow if you were full law....

So bring a sword like I said, take dragons on 1 on 1. The same with ghosts. 2 man teams are great.... Basically it will take a full bar of mp to kill one dragon...bring some pots...clears are best...dont bring alot...10 are enough. Because you will be running alot, and venzing if you get crowded. What is good about this? You WILL get bzels, you WILL get 51f scrolls. You WILL get sb's that can be used to buy nzels, and more 41f scrolls.

Ok now some additional helpful items....int ammy...more vt power, if you go a wizards t-shirt during the last event...you rock...cause thats another int point...if not...well...it is still doable.

This requires cash...you need money to make money...it is that simple. So stop begging...start trading, and selling your way to financial stabilty. If you need more tips please wis me in game..I can hunt with you 2 man team to show you the ropes.
You can read earlier post about our bzel drops, 51f, I even got a RDS....8mill at the time.
You can even make money by overzelling items...but...you need to make money regularly to really make big money.

Get to lvl 48-50, better support for boss hunts, and group hunts.
Additionally when in party hunts...do not be a liablity. Use your skills in tandem with the party leader...dont worry about pulling drops yourself. If you do not trust the people you are with..then dont hunt with them. Heck..leave the bp then. A good bp were you have gain long term friends...they can help you get some items you need...by selling them to you at reduced rates, trading items, just being cool, not whiny or begging. People will GIVE you things because of a strong friendship that develops over time. You can ask...but if people oh sorry i cant...leave it at that. If you need a scroll...pay offer to pay for it...then pay. If they say no no it ok. Thank them...and return the favor another time. Trust me it will go nicely for you.

Ok Class...damm I &*%&((ing tired I will go hunt now...
