Hard to make money, cant sell much

How the hell do you make money fast. I remember long ago it was to make plate gorgets and sell them to armor smith but here all i can sell is 5-10 ringmail tunic earning around 1000 gold before the vendor says that he cant afford any more.

So how the hell am i supposed to make money besides killing.

Ok ill make an alchemist, but seriously they should really fix this. This basically degrades all the other professions making them almost useless. I really think they should allow blacksmiths to sell everything they make to the vendor, this way gaining money would be at least on the same level as alchemy.

Re: Hard to make money, cant sell much

IDOCs are a very lucrative business as well as purchasing a vendor spot at either Yew Bank or another highly popular vendor mall and shoving what you make + loot from IDOCS on them.
Best way to earn money is to mix it up so you never get bored and are always making money.

Disregard me thanking your post, it was a missclick.

There is a reason you cannot sell everything you make to NPC's. NPC's only have a set amount of gold and when the gold they have is lost it will take some time until they respawn, I think the timer is set to 1½ hour or so.

However, making the vendors have infinite gold would be the worst thing that could happend to Hybrid economy. That would mean that people will have infinite amounts of money. Personally, I think it would be good if there was only a certain amount of gold available ingame and that the limit would never be exceeded.

For example, say the limit is 1000 million gold. If that limit is reached no more gold will spawn on monsters, but regular loot will spawn as usuall. That would actually make money worth something again.

From what i can see each vendor has 1000 gold, this means i can sell 9-10 items per 1½ hours. It seems kinda pointless leveling your black smithing to GM just to earn 1000 gold per hour. It wouldnt hurt raising it a bit. At the moment i would take me 5-15 days just to get the cheapest house. Playing around 3 hours average. I could get the same thing within 2-4 days. If the vendors had a 2500 gold cap.

I think ima go along with "Llamaboy"s idea and look for IDOCS.

The game is not designed to be a single player game, the interaction between players is what the game is about. I made like 100k/day on BOD's for example. It's always been pointless trying to sell items to NPC's.

Here's a post I made a while ago on the subject making money through NPC's. It's a way to try to explain how futile it is.

Although some people enjoy earning some money single player instead of constantly depending on other players. For example it would be way easier to level my skills if i had a house, even the shitty cheap one. Knowing no one would be interested in my armor/weapons that i make since its all noob, the last resort is selling to the vendor. Yet at the rate im going its gonna take a long long while before i get even the cheapest house because the vendor gold cap is so low.

3 Hours [Playing Per Day] = 3000 gold
Cheapest House = 30k-33k

around 10 Days.

Sure i love PvP but earning money single player is also useful.

Re: Hard to make money, cant sell much

if you prefer to make money by selling to npc, you may do it by filling the BOD. The npc may not buy your armor as they are out of cash (~2800 gp). But, they will pay for the BOD you've done.

Thanks, Ill try that out and see how it goes.

Re: Hard to make money, cant sell much

Or you can sell your stuff at non-peak time. Usually, the npc have enough cash to pay your stuff.

PS: My one round trip selling, I can sell 30k+ items.

Re: Hard to make money, cant sell much

Try selling in Jhelom and Britain at around this time.

The npc should have money now except all drawn by me.

Re: Hard to make money, cant sell much

You would be better off just mining the ingots and selling them directly to a player.

You can mine 50k worth of ingots in no time,

Beware of thieves!

Remember that there's more than one NPC blacksmith in this game. Learn where they are.

Getting 100k for a cheap 7x7 and walls isn't going to be your problem. Finding placement will be. If you really need a small house, check out the free depot religiously. They give 7x7s and small house placements away pretty frequently.

Yes. It is another way. If, just in case, you really can't find any player to buy it, send me a private message. I can buy the amount that can give you sufficient funding for a sweet home.
