Ultimate Newbie Guide for L2 - Chapter 2. How to get Rich!

General Discussion Started Last reply 8 posts
Hello everyone,

I hope you guys are having fun playing this game, Lineage2.
After all, we all deserve it.

So many noobs ask me, how does one get rich in L2?
How does one make adena in this game cuz R-grade gears
cost around 1 billion!?? and the adena drop is so LOW!

Well, my friends...nothing is easy in life; and it's
certainly true in L2, if not more.


In general, until you are level 85, you follow the 'Steel Door Coin' Quests
which start at Level 40 and Do Pairaka quests.

'Steel door coin quests' + 'pairaka Quests' = All you need;
and you can ignore the rest pretty much.

Both of them, you get the '?' mark when you reach the proper level,

Steel door coin quests = free gear + enchant scrolls(you can sell
these to NPC in town, most merchants buying them in town, they give
Less price than the NPC at the grocery store LOL)
Pairaka = Free stuff + adena

Steel door coin quests are at
Level 40, 46, 52, 58, 61, 65, 70, 76, and 81.

Pairaka = 49, 61, 73

49 Pairaka = Free C-grade weapon of your choice(you can sell these
for adena)
61 Pairaka = Free Bracelet with 2 slots for Talisman + 450,000 Adena
73 Pairaka = Free Shirt + 1,500,000 Adena

For both 'steel door quests' and 'Pairaka,'
you can do them only ONCE per character,

if you have done them as main, can't do them as Sub-class; but
if you have missed them as main you can do them later as Sub-class.
Excellent EXP + Rewards!

3rd class Transformation at Level 76 gives 5,000,000 Adena
(main class only, for 3 x sub classes later no adena rewards any more)

There are some other Adena making quests in L2,
some are really good, while some others are simply not worth
your time.

I will just mention the ones which I thought was good.

Level 65-69 dailies at Goddard - you just go outside Goddard and
get some animals(they are so easy, you can even do them without
Soulshots and takes only 20-30 minutes), you get the nice quest EXP
+ 174,000 adena a day.

Level 76, Shrine of Loyalty - the quest chain here gives you
1 x Attribute crystal at the end; which usually goes for 2-3 million each.
Get 'Holy crystal,' the most expensive! (the quest starts at 75 but I recommend doing this
at 76+ with S-grade gear)


Level 79, 'Seven Sign Quest' the whole quest chain takes awhile
but gives good Exp + S-grade Bracelet(+5000 weight limit) + 2,000,000 Adena. A nice 2-3 hr-get-away when you are tired of grinding for level.

Level 82 - Heine Teleport NPC(I forget the name of the quest LOL)
The whole quest chain takes about 30 minutes but gives 4,000,000 Adena
Now...you do the quest at Level 82 if you are a wizard class,
but for all other classes(melee especially) I recommend doing this
after the Awakening at 85.

When you become Level 85 and do the Awakening quest,
Make sure you have a mentor. Mentor system gives you free
R-grade Gears(Requiem weapon + immortal set)

Picking-up-Adena is very important if you wanna save adena
but do so, only in areas with good adena drop.
Don't pick up Adena when the drop is below 100 adena...
some areas like Dragon valley drop no items...and like...15-20 adena
per drop = not worth your time picking them up.

After the awakening at Level 85,

1. Do your dailies. Level 85 dailies give 500,000 Adena each
which adds a lot in the long run.
2. Do Zaken - Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Zaken instance gets
reset. It's a 7 men instance and if you get lucky and get
'Blessed Zaken Earing' = easy 2 billion adena.
Even without Zaken earing, the Vorpal accessories the boss drops,
you can sell them to NPC(usually Gludio grocery shop for me, 0% tax)
in town and get 3-4 million.
3. Do K85 solo and party and get to level 90 ASAP
Level 90 Kartia gives 'Attribute Crystal' Per run = easy 2-3 million
a day.

4. Join a Raid guild! and do some raiding!
Fast leveling + Adena making

5. Spend at least 1 hr a day, checking the AH(Auction House)
and the merchants buying and selling at Giran and get yourself
used to the market price.

My biggest break came when somebody who didn't wanna spend too much time selling his AQ ring shouted in WorldChat "wts AQ ring for 1 kkk!!!"

I got the ring and sold it for 1.3 billion in one day...
easy 300 million profit I made...

During the event...some guy got lucky and was selling the 'Bottle of Baium Soul'
for 1 billion(I think the guy had no idea how much it was worth?
but that was the price he was selling! and I didn't force him!)
I got the soul bottle and bought the regular baium ring(S-grade) from the AH for 1.45 billion, went to Rafforey at schuggart, exchanged for
Baium Soul Ring(R-Grade) and sold it for 12 billion...LOL
9 billion + profit.

Anyways...the key point here is...knowing the market price well,
and getting the things when they are cheap and selling them
when the time is right....
I try not to overcharge people too much...Usually I bargain hard
when I am buying....LOL




So far this has been the hard but Legit way...

The easiest of all will be....









Buy some stuff from N-store and sell them! LOL
This is cheat to be honest...
but just 8000 Ncoin($100 USD) = 2 Billion = enough adena for
not only R-grade but R-95 gears...

I used to play L2 with no N-store...but one day....
I saw....500 Steel door coins for '1 adena' which was awesome...
then I saw all the good promotions for '1' N-coin....
so I went and got my first 400 N-coins(minimum)....
and then....LOL....I can't stop buying now! LOL

Don't be like me! but to tell you the truth....
you will be amazed how easy the game becomes with just $50-100,
which I recommend...

I tell myself I am using a computer when I play L2 which I HAD to BUY
and I am using the electricity when I play L2...etc...LOL
Third class "transformation" or what is more commonly called "transfer" no longer reward the player with 5 million adena.

It's Pailaka, not Pairaka.

Thank you for your correction.

Nobody is perfect, I guess...

Oh boy...so they changed the reward for 3rd class transfer, huh?

It looks as though NC wants to reduce the Adena in circulation
to a great extent. It's very obvious with the current event,
Abundance, especially...

To make LvL 1. Abundance Talisman, it costs 2.5 billion to make it
100% success.

They say they want to reduce the price for things...

BUT!

Mammon is still selling R-gems for 1,560,000 Adena per 1 x R-gem.
and the price for the main ingredients for Soul Shots...Soul Stone still at 300 adena(in gludio, 0% tax) and Spirit Ore at 480 adena, haven't changed at all....

If the amount of adena in a server decreases, the price for all those
things should DECREASE too! Don't you agree?
and that includes all the other stuff like price for teleport, etc!!!
nice topic
i was going to add few advices but suddently i noticed a wierd thing and decided to not
to op

Thank you for finding my topic to be nice.

If you have anything you'd like to add,
Please don't be shy~
the problem is that in early levels the exp reward is way much more than the adena reward, that means you will be newbie at 95+ or even at 99
Fortuna 1 time quest gives a lil more than 40m also. And you dont get blessed zaken that easily...

I doubt they're honest about the intentions to reduce prices. Yes, abundance will sink some adena out. But that "loss" will be refilled with the influx of the adena from bots in GoG alone. How much do you think they're making per 24h or 7 days there? And there is about 20 trains of them running around non stop ( choo choo! ). It looks like one hand takes away and suddenly other hand gives back.
Another thing: reduction of adenas circulation in a market would be not so good if you think about it. Why? Sellers would spend more time on selling their goods ( stagnancy is not a thing you wanna have in any economy ). You will say: "but sir, that will reduce the prices". Yes it will, but on the other hand, do you wanna sell your Specter Thrower for 400kk when you bought it back then for 2kkk?
