Theres been many ways how to make money in Lineage 2.
Catacombs/Necrops ( high money rate)
Crafting/Spoiling ( slow..and you need to be patient about leveling a dwarf)
Fighting green mobs (easy kills)
Manor system..
Quests (some give...)
Fight without ss (youll need alot of heal pots..)
etc, etc.
But which one actually works the best? Because ive done half that stuff but still end up with only like 3kk (cuz' i sold something) And im still in B grade ( wep +4)...
Llothlian says 'scamming', and I'll agree: It's definitely the fastest, but should still be avoided for obvious reasons.
Fighting without SS is the single slowest way to make money, closest only to trying to get it from drops any other way. Most quests don't give rewards that can even begin to compare to the manor.
What is best for you depends on what you're good at, and how much money you already have: To make a lot of money spoiling or crafting you'll have to have enough to respectively outfit a dwarf in C Grade (that's where you start getting sweet spots where spoil&craft can rake in good money), but for the manor all you need is a set of no grade gear (it pays for itself and then some after that).
There's also, for the very poor, night fishing in conjunction with the fishing shot quest - it's certainly not convenient, but it can help net you the first few million you need to get starte don the single best option: The market.
Actaly, this implyes fighting without pots as well, but with allot of rest.
Personaly I found manoring the best way (exept for getting lucky and finding something uber cheap in giran and resseling it).
I just set up my Warsmith in town with a craft shop open.
Yes, it's slow. Yes, we have crap for mp regen. But all-in-all I venture that I make about a mil a day without doing any work.
duo in cata with OOP buffers and no SS :)
thats what I did the first levels in witches
(not realy to save money, it was just to check if it could be done. 2 ppl(daggers), 1 room. SE/PP OOP)
I never ever used manoring. I feel like I missed something.. I just dont like to never beeing able to get a drop, or mats/parts. I can se this beeing very usefull with an BH tho.
btw. seeding cata mobs are better then seeding x1 hp mobs? (only using 1 seed and gives x4 crops in return???)
The fastest way to make money? Craft and sell soulshots.
The second fastest way for you to make money? Sell your overenchanted +4 Weapon. Depending on what weapon you have, you can probably make a quick profit by selling it and crafting another one and taking it to +3. No matter what weapon you have, the amount of damage that you do from +3 to +4 is negligible. But the amount of profit that you'll make...especially if we were talking about an A or S grade weapon at +4 vs. the sale value of one at +3....would be tremendous.

Those are such bad suggestions. Noone makes money crafting shots. Or they do, but its like sloooooooooooow. And as for weapon enchantment. We all know its not 100% secure to go +3 to +4. So you break it and end up with bunch of crystals which arent as half as valuable as +3 weapon. IF you have crapload of money - go and enchant, but dont use it as your money increasing way if you're low on cash.
Playing on market is gooood, manoring rocks and killing mobs without ss - those all together make you have few more mil ;)

He wanted to know fast ways to make money. He did not ask for safe and sound ways to make fast money. Risk is always involved to make lucrative profits.
I take it no one has ever sold shots just before a big siege, or on the steps of a very busy hunting ground, cata or necro? Obviously you don't leave your toon unattended in those areas, but you can sell & move product quickly. I've done it. I still do it.
And for really good profits, nothing beats enchants. He could easily resell the +4 that he already has for a profit. I realize he is a BD and may not wish to part with the SA'd +4 weapon, if it's duals. But if he's really pushing for fast adena, sell the +4 and make a profit. +4 duals in some cases are selling for twice the price that it takes to make them and OE them to +4, depending on the grade.
Bad advice? Maybe. But I do that, too, and believe me when I say that OE reselling is HIGHLY profitable. All for just one little enchant.
BEST WAY TO MAKE MONEY FAST:
You know that pumpkin event thats comming up????
During the event:
Create a new toon and lvl him to lvl 20.
Create another toon and lvl him to 20.
Repeat until event is over. Create punmpinks and reap the rewards. SELL everything that the pumkins gave you. You might want to wait a few weeks before selling for prices to come back up. Buy Cheap enchnat scrolls from people right after event and resell a few weeks after for lots of profit.
Appart form that, always seed while your hunting and have a BH to level with you.
Other option, always hunt in cats, find an excuse to not use shots and learn to love the merchant and mammon and what you can get from him (and resell latter)
Have the perfect party :) this'll include 4 to 5 toons:
BH - obviously there to make money
SE - VR and Recharge for more spoils
Prophet - buffs of doom
BD - dances of doom
and / or
SWS - Hunter !!
with this setup, u can spam ss all you want, spoil every mob, and u'll make money like there's no tomorrow :) ... knowing WHERE and for what to hunt also helps a lot
Im my case its Dela and his spoiler :P
And the PP Dela is refering to is me ^_^
Go Go Dela!!!
Oh and Maline , Dela is kinda right. If those 4 toons stick together and pool everything together to help eachother out to get equip it is the best way to get cash while leveling. Its worked for us.
If however these people dont work together and split the loot its still good money form the spoils IF and only IF you hunt a the rigth spots for money. That does not always mean the best xp spot.
The drops cover the shots, the seeds gives you mats, the spoils get you mats and recs you need to craft, and Dela crafts em for you!!!
