How can we make gold

IronCrystal · January 2017

Even those who don't have a trading guild, it's very easy to make money. If I am not "focused" on making money then here's what I do to passively make several hundred thousand a week.

I own a merchant, and I like to do dungeons a lot. Every single enemy I kill I pick up their loot. Instead of deconstructing the items, each cp 160 item is worth 75 or so gold and a lot more if ornate. When my inventory fills up I sell all those junk items to my merchant. It's incredibly handy and makes gold well.

This also works incredibly well if you like to grind levels as you get lots of armor drops from killing things over and over again. Leveling a character from 3 to 50 earns me about 75k because the items are worth less at lower levels.

Even if you don't have a merchant, go to any town and sell your wares.

Granted, you have to learn to not spend the gold at the same time. If 100k is a whole lot for you, you definitely have a problem of spending your gold or you simply don't do anything to earn it.

Otherwise, when I intentionally want to make gold, I farm materials on the ground and sell them. Pay attention to the market to see what sells. You don't have to be in a trading guild to sell, as materials often sell in chat as well in capital cities.

It is up to the RNG gods though as to whether you should sell unrefined materials or refined materials as it's all based on whether you get tempers or not. Unrefined are worth a lot more but if you get tempers then those can be sold for high amounts.

Alchemy ingredients usually work well, but it helps if you know which ones people are looking for

Also, when I run trials, I sell the celestial motifs. But these are going down in price quite a bit as people by now have them.
