Hello Everyone!
So I was thinking that I would really like an Apella set, and on my server I see it being sold for 500M from time to time.
I know its not really worth it as the other sets a better, but still I whant it :D
And as I dont think any clan wanna pay so much clan points for one armor instead of getting clan skills I think I need to buy it...
So I am on a quest to make 500.000.000 adena, So I need all the tips I can get making adena.
Gotta have something to do in L2 :p
So I tested alitle nightfishing and made about 1.000.000 in 40min ( not counting the time selling it. )
was thinking that perhaps crafting Interlude accesories would give a nice profit.
tried manoring Enria and made about 2.000.000 for a nights playing.
Playing the market is also a good thing but atm I am broke so I need starting adena first..
Thats a really funny post imo.
Use the mammons. Buy cheap AA / Blank scrolls and trade em to mammon for enchants then sell em. Works good with crystals/gemstones/blesses scrolls too.
PS: Post a pic when u manage to buy it ^^
well, you already made 3m you said. thats enough to start playing market with top D and some C gear (like top D boots/gloves, elven mithril gloves, knights shield, karmian/divine robes works as well) at least thats some of the items I used to play the market with when I started. Playing the market is the fastest way to earn money.
btw, you only got 2m with manor for one night playing? thats what you make manoring for 2 hours at lvl45 in branded :/
Make a perfect 9 man archer party and do hero rifts for a few hours a day ( and it will take several tries ). Keep doing this until you lvl your lvl 12 crystals to lvl 13 (make sure to have the quest active, and make sure to have only 1 crystal in your inventories). Depending on what server you're on, that's +500m profit each for a few days worth of work.
It's tough... and very boring... but if you and your friends can stifle your vomit long enough to do this... it's easy adena.
I would already be doing this if I didn't main nukers.

That happened just once for our clan. Two guys had stage 12 crystals raised to 13. After that people made sure they had a level 12 cystal on them even if they had to buy them. Several dozen raids later, no luck. Since you don't get the raid boss every time, this was a huge effort.
You dont need a true archer party, but you need a good tank, a bishop, and a recharger. I brought a maestro with bow (one of the top dwarven archers on Erica), and summons. Probably should have some MP elixers.
Ouch. It takes so little to get the crystals in your inventory and have the quest active (lie, lvl 12 crystals are painful to get/buy)... you guys could have made so much more! But yeah.... it is definately an ordeal. It took us about 2 weeks.... but in the end it was well worth the effort. I prefer pulling crazy stunts like this (and locking down Anakim to your clan for a week) than relying on luck, reds, daily raids, or farming (fishing, manoring, spoiling, and otherwise) for drops.
Buy and sell in the market, I average 40mil a day doing this when I decide to try... Buy low, sell high, know the market like the back of your hand, love it, use it, abuse it! Try buying and selling hot items like Striders, +++ weapons, Cg weaps... make Enchant weapons and sell them, upgrade second to top Dg weapons to top Dg weapons and make 2mil a pop....
Not hard
You could also resort to scamming, but that tends to have nasty side-effects, not to mention your selling your soul to the game. I don't reccomend it. ;)
40 mill ....... that really true i got my doubts but i am lv.40 so dont know the game yet but buying and selling weap doesnt make that much profit ppl wont pay 10 mill for top D +8 bow nor dagger :/
and if you buy homu and sell it again then i bet your *** on it if you bought it for example 7,5k and you sell it for 8k (wich is bloody hard already) its just so hard there a 2 much homu 2 sell it like that
and thats 0,5kk if you sell 1 sword ...39,5 mill 2 go >_>

People will frequently overpay for enchanted items to varying degrees. The prices fluctuate dramatically. Sometimes just connecting buyer and seller can be worth a solid 1 M. People are often in a hurry to sell and will undercut market prices by 5 or 10% to get that fast sale. When this happens in S grade, that can be 30 M in one trade. A grade armor sets often sell for more unsealed, as a set, than it costs to buy each piece and unseal it. For awhile some of the S weapons were selling under crystal value. Soulshots are often under-priced for quick sale, mats, etc It's very easy to turn over 20-30 M a day. Then again, I've turned over 100 M+ on two mispriced items (lvl 13 red crystal, missed a zero AND tallum helm shop full of doom helms for 8 M when it was worth 120). You don't need as dramatic events, just small percentage gains and an account (or two) up all day.
Right now on Hinde, you can buy A crystals for 16kon one side of town and sell for 18k on the other. If you can afford 200k crystals, that's 40 M right there. You normally have to maintain at least 3 or 4 such endeavors at a time.
yeah thats what i mean the "big"money for example 1 mat for example a.bone is 1k every1 sells it for about 1,2k and buyes buy @ 900 or 1,11k so there isnt a profit from that
but if you get 2 the higher lvs waht you said S grade the weap prices are inconsistent i saw Drac bow for 420kk next day i see 1 299kk then the next day 3200kk so for example buying drac bow for 300kk en then selling it for 320 or 420 kk then you make serieus money
about OE i am not a big fan your gambling and if you OE wrong 2x in a row your broke
what i am doing now is buyin DS >mammon trade>HOmu sell 7,5kk 0,6kk profit
then you make more profit then buying homu for 7,2kk and selling 7,5
and it isnt much more work cause we got l33t lux shop :)
but you can really ask strange prices for OE weap for sure
rangeing from TOP D +8 10 mill 9mill or 15mill i bought it from 10mill so trying 2 sell it 13mill or so
ok some people on this thread are REALLY exaggerating. Don't pay attention to these people. If you want to make money 500 milion worth its going to take months legit.
40milion a day average? Are people smoking? lol seriously think before you write or speak or whatever. IF you made 40million average a day, by 1 month YOU would have 40x30 = 1,200million adena = 12billion adena. [censored]. OK? You'd inflate the whole economy yourself. Man I really can't stand it when peole have no clue what they are talking about.
Manoring is tedious and boring and it takes awhile and it is NOT as profitable as some people make it out to be.
The best way to get cash quick IS to play the market but you have to know the market well. If you start out with 100m adena, count yourself **** LUCKY if you can double it in 2 to 3 weeks.
There's a reason why the economy in Lineage 2 is one of the most brutal in any game out there. Its not as "easy" as some of these deluded people make it out to be...geez...LOL 40m/day stop smoking crack ok?
Heh, it is easy to make 30-40mil a day only because of my own extensive wealth... the more money you have, the more expensive weapons or armor you can buy. The more expensive an item the bigger the price margins will be on it. Just yesterday I found a +8 crystal dagger selling for 40mil, bought it and sold it for 100mil. thats 60mil in a single day.... This is an extreme example of course, but if you know who is selling what where, for how much, keep an eye out for new shops and quickly pick-off any good deals you see... it is very easy to do this. Back in C4 I would buy a strider for 15mil in Grian and sell it for 25mil in dion. When you get into the market, you also "meet people" who are market men themselves and through those friendships you can open up a huge possibiliy for extra cheap items.
Now, when you only have 1 account and are sitting on 100mil, yeah you can make about 10mil a day tops, if that. But if, like me, you have 3 accounts avalible to you(not all mine, they are siblings' accounts :P) and a huge heap of cash from your perveous days of buying and selling, it is so very possible. You get 3 dwarfs on each account so as to sell as many items as possible.
This is no exageration, not even close, it takes some hard work, you must know every detail about your server's market, you must be a very active market man, and you have to get your hands on a big sum on cash first to use to buy expensive items. I started out buying EWDs for 350k and selling them for 500k just like everyone else. As soon as you have enough money to move to larger-margin items, you do so. Rinse and repeat until your making 40+ mil a day. ;)
IF you made 40million average a day, by 1 month YOU would have 40x30 = 1,200million adena = 12billion adena.
No...the decimal goes where you put the comma buddy. Making 20 M per day is about average using 2 accounts, with at least a 300 M stock/reserve. Buy S/A/B crystals, AA, and a crafting mat. Sell S/A/B crystals and AA. Shout to sell your weapons as you craft them. S wep crafts run at about 40-50 M profit and can easily be done once a week.
You make this money by PLAYING the market. That means that's what you do...you log in and PLAY the market for four hours. This is not something you can do (without a bunch of accounts) while you exp your main.
i got 1 acc HE lv.40 ofc you got more chance 2 sell if you got a acc parked 24/7 in giran but
if you craft your own S grade weap looking @ the mats needed AND the lv the dorf needs 2 be 2 craft is is like you need some extra free time from work rofl
ofc some ppl in giran do got Craft shops (althougd not 2 many i have seen craft S grade but could be wrong havent really looked @ that)
You can't do it with one account because you need as many items for sale as possible, so unless you have done some major fishing with your main and have a 6-8 slots in your sell-shop, you will need another account (like a friend's account or family member's) Also, you need to be constantly selling your wares while you shop around the different towns, run to and from mammon, and other general errands that a true market-man must be doing constantly, so as long as you are running around, you cannot sell you items effectivly.
While you can sell items by shouting sometimes, you won;t sell the big super enchanted weapons or other expensive items in that way. You need to have a shop up in a main traffic way that people can see daily, know that your weapon or item is for sale and know where it is if they decide they want it later. People don't always have enough money to buy your item right away, so by having a shop up, always up, in the same location, they can come back at their liesure to buy it.
Is it possible to do it all on one account? Heck yes.
Will you make 30-50 a day. Heck no. You will make about 10mil if you put the effort into it.
The great thing about playing the market this way is that for a week or two you can really get into it when you need cash, make about 200 or so million adena and then get some new gear or what-not. I don't do the market thing everyday all week or all month, that just gets tedious and boring. 500mil will take a good month to make, and you will have to put all your effort into it, but it is possible with the right number of accounts and starting cash.
my bad you are right it is 1.2billion divided by 100 instead of 1000 haha.
As for the other guy claiming he is making 40m a day with his "extensive" wealth, BULL-CRAP.
I've been playing the market a LOOOOOONG time. I don't care how much "wealth" you have but there aint people out there that pay 100m+ so easily as you *think*. Also only an idiot will pay 100m for a +8 crystal dagger.
Either he ebayed that money and bought yours stuff with it, which is rare or he made a mistake.

40m a day lol what a joke.
Not a joke, just takes hard work and a calculating mind. I agree with you that only and idiot would pay 100mil for a +8 crystal dagger (top Cg), but the whole idea of making money through the market is that there ARE idiots who will pay those steep prices. Those who Ebay their money instead of work for it.
depending on ur lvl and class you can farm FoG, IT or silenos quests for an easy 20-30 mil a day
pain. PAIN. PAIN
If you do the silenos/ orc quests... NEVER PARTY WITH ANYONE ELSE IN THE AREA. If your party member hits an Orc when you're doing the Orc quest... it drops down a level. AN ENTIRE LEVEL. I assume the same goes for the silenos version. I got so ****** off... I wanted to KOS the guy on the spot.
well 40M a day sounds a bit high. but I have no doubt in my mind that its possible...
Actually playing the market I consider myself good at, or atleast I was very good at it until I left the game and come back 2 monhts later and eveything is diffrent in prices.
So it will take a while to get back in to but I will get there :D
Selling some stuff atm and I should be able to get atleast a 30M to give me a start to make profits.
Also tried the night fishing and it was ok adena 1 - 2 M a hour perhaps. ok adena but very booring from time to time, like the selling in Giran and playing CS-source on the other computer better :p
Some gave me the tip at enchanting, and I know that one can make alot of adena on this, but I will never enchant anyhting over +3 again. I have blown 100M+ on getting a SA on my duals only to buy them later on with a SA.
Btw anyone that has a link to were the list the recipes to the new accesories that will come in Interlude, have checked the regular sites that have that info but havent found that info...
Thanks for all the input, and keep em coming :D
Will give an update when I reach the 100M mark
I forgot to mention this. Yes, playing the market is a viable option, but I do not advise you to do this if you are an active player with a single account. You have to decide between playing the market or playing the game. You can't do both at the same time... unless you have multiple accounts. Don't get me wrong... it is possible... and you can have friends help you spam offers/ price watch, but nothing is worse than spending all of your adena on a crazy deal and not being able to sell it for a month. It doesn't matter how much adena you got from it.... time is money... and if it takes that long to sell something... that is money lost.
You don't even need two computers, multilaunch from the same PC in windows mode.
The more time you spend searching shops, the more money you will make. People make mistakes on prices, underestimate market changes in the past week, are in a hurr,y or simply don't know better. It happens all the time. 50 M is a really good day and does happen. It isn't average, that you are correct about. Unless, of course, you have a few billion and are moving serious amounts of gear. Depends on server pop, play time, you name it.
I make tons of money playing the market. But you will need certain things to make lots of money & quickly.
-24/7 town dorf for selling
- a decent amount of money to start with
Start buying recipes where you can sell the finished product for 2x the value of the recipe. Buy low/sell high, target the popular easy to sell items. Try to resell fast rather then make a large % profit, the faster you flip the goods the better.

Well, that pretty much sums up the answer to the "how do I get 500mil fast?" question. The market is the only real viable way, otherwise you will have to grind it out of the catas or something, which will take many a month.
Yes, but you need a high lvl artisan and probubly a high lvl Scavy to make large amounts of fast-money by crafting. Marketing can be done with a lvl 1 dwarf and any character to shop the stores at any time. Not to mention even I can't quite firgure out how to use the seeding system, and the competition to just buy the seeds, let alone sell them, is tremendous. Atleast on my server it is. ><
?
Any level toon (especially low levels) can gain more mats by using manor than a bounty hunter that is not using the manor. Crafting shops are available for almost anything and are relatively cheap these days for what you want. A 300 M weapon costs all of 3-5 M to craft. A C grade weapon (they sell to subclassers) is still profitable.
The whole point of dwarves complaining is that everyone has access to their skills via manor and craft stations. They get that extra 1-5% margin to hold onto which is very significant if you craft a lot. Unfortunately, most dwarves rolled a dwarf because they thought it would be "easy" money. Easier doesn't mean easy, however.
Like I said before, most of these guys don't know jack about what they are talking about.
You want to make 500m adena fast? THere is no such LEGIT way. Deal with it. Play the market is probably the fastest way or get into a really active clan that raids and hope they are generous enough to outfit you fast...instead.
Otherwise expect to spend MONTHS playing the market to get even close to 500m.

THATS the prob i got
for example i got in 2 money making late late late about lv30 35
i made 7 mill bought cry c d for DS then mammon Homu
and sell for 7,5kk profit around 0.6kk or so
BUT money i got now is about 0,3kk
so basicly it forces me 2 sit for 2,5 weeks straight 2 sell the homu while other ppl got 1 parked in giran 24/7 and got way way more chance 2 sell a homu then me who only sets up shop for about 30min 2 8 hours a day :<
