MOUSEHUNT Gold Saving and Farming Guide for Beginners

By : Fevih

First of all Cheese Usage is one of the main maintenance cost of all hunters in the world of Gnawnia. at low ranks Cheddar Cheese would be the Handy while hunting Meadow, TOwn of Gnawnia, and Windmill areas. I would strongly suggest to use Cheddar Cheese since you can catch mouse that carries marble in these areas. It is very tempting to buy Stronger Traps but this will slow you down saving for stronger Traps.

Tacky Glue Trap and Wooden Base with Target armed with Cheddar Cheese suits well while Saving for Swiss Army Trap. If your warm enough to pay for premium items then do so because the Shrink Ray Trap helps a lot at early levels.

You will start using Swiss Cheese at the Harbour together with Swiss knife and Explosive Base so that you can Catch Pirate Mouse that carries a satchel of Gold. Only the Pirate in the Harbour Area only give the highest Gold Loot. If you Go to the mountains then try catching the Gold Mouse and Diamond Mouse that carries Simple Orb. This is the most important part of my Guide which is the SimpleOrb Hunt. As of now November 4, 2012 Simple Orb Price at the Marketplace is 3137. Selling your Simple Orb gives you much Gold earnings.

At first it would be hard to catch diamond and Gold mouse but then If you are armed with the NVMRc Trap while using Brie Cheese and Prospectors Charm then encountering GOld and Diamond is like expecting sun rise early in morning. DOnt worry about the miss because THe simpleOrb are much worth it. That trap set up will give you average of 30 Simple Orbs daily. But if you are hardworking and actively sounds your Horn you can Increase the number of Simple Orb. More SImple Orbs =More Gold.

MOUSEHunt Guide for Beginners

Guide by Fevih

I came across this Wonderful Game named MouseHunt it was developed by HitGrab Inc.as Facebook application. The Rules are Simple Catch Mice roaming around the Kingdom Of Gnawnia. On your First Log You will choose your First Trap Set Up. If you are reading this guide then you must have played the game but needs some source readings.

The HighTension Spring Trap

Tacky Glue Trap

The different between the two is that High Tension spring has higher power but low attraction rate

I would Suggest You would choose the Tacky Glue trap since attracting mice in Gnawnia makes it worthwile checking every 15 mins. Armed with Cheddar Cheese the Tacky Glue Trap is Very much effective against weaker breeds making you get much more success than hunting strong mice using Marble Cheese. Choosing the High Tension gives you good catches and I would think this is good for those who are not so actively sounding the hunters Horn. If you already Choose The High Tension Then don't be sad because almost all of us made the same mistake. High Tension Trap best place for you is the Town While The Tacky Glue Trap is best in the Meadows.

The Weaker Breeds of Indigenous Mice gives you a loot drop of Marble Cheese in Meadow and Town of Gnawnia. I suggest you buy around 200 cheedar cheese and the Wooden Base with target making the Tacky GLue trap + Wooden Base with Target = 60 percent attraction bonus. With these set up you can Save around a hundred Marble Cheese with just looting it in meadow. If you are ready and have lots of Marble Cheese Then it is time to head to the Windmill and hunt some mouse breed of course you will now switch to Marble Cheese. Bear in mind not to buy stronger traps until you reach 45500 points plus a Gold of 68,895 more or less to buy the

Swiss Army Mouse Trap

Cheese effect : no effect

Dont Go to the Harbour until you have this Trap set Up and Of course use Explosive Base for extra trap Power. Harbour Mice will steal pieces of cheese, points, and Gold. When hunting the harbour hope you get the Whisker Woods Clearing Map Piece from the Granite Mouse. Save money and YOur next target Trap will be the

NVMRC ForceField Trap

Points Required: 91,000

Power : 2350

which is the best trap for the low ranking players. When you are using Swiss Army Mouse trap use Swiss cheese to attract more pirate mouse which gives high gold loot.

Before moving to the Mountains I suggest you hunt first the Calm Clearing to get Splintered Wood and even lucky enough to Catch the Cyclops Mouse that is carrying the Great Gnarled Tree Map (GGT) acquiring the S.Woods give you raw materials to construct the

Social Welfare

Social welfare covers almost everything that men do for the good of our society. According to Gerttrude Wilson he characterized social welfare as an organized concern of all people for all people. Walter Friedlander defines it as “the organized system of social services and institutions, designed to aid individuals and groups to attain satisfying standards of life and health. From Elizabeth Wickenden social welfare includes those law, programs , benefits and services which assure or strengthen provisions for meeting social needs recognized as basic to the well being of the population and the better functioning of the social order.

My View of Possible World War Three to Come

I was reading some books in the past about capitalist and karl marx topics. Then I realize that world event in the past is the result of a faulty social system that is eating other subsystem. If their would be a world crisis(financial) you will see in the news few months or years after the crisis that their will be war that is going to happen or happening on the other part of the world. To the people watching the news we simply say that the war happened because of their leader and political system. All I can say is that they were simply invaded for the following reasons.

Ragnarok Rune Knight Build

Who told you that knights don't need intelligence stat. Well guess what Rune Knight loves int stat now

Job Change Guide

Builds

Dragon Breath Build

STR:1
AGI:1
VIT:100-120
INT:100-120
DEX:75+
LUK:1

One of the more mainstream build for Rune Knights. Good for typically anything - Tanking, Mobbing, MVP, WOE, PvP. This build is centered on Dragon Breath. The key to this build is high vit and int, for the high HP and SP that Dragon Breath relies upon, with decent DEX for faster cast and hit rate with Clashing Spiral. Rune Knights using this build can deal decent physical damage with Enchant Blade thanks to high INT. While this Build is not item intensive, having items that boost MaxHP and MaxSP will differentiate the Great from the Good; 25% more MaxHP and MaxSP from Transcend Character is highly beneficial for this build. As a precautionary statement, be aware that attempting this build can be difficult without support/funding in the first 125 levels, during which time Clashing Spiral is usually the main attack. Having a sufficiently heavy spear for Clashing Spiral is crucial during the difficult leveling phrase.

Disclaimer: Dragon Breath damage depends on MaxSP and CURRENT HP.

Recommended Items:

Spearman Build

STR:100-120
AGI:1
VIT:100-120
INT:1+
DEX:75+
LUK:1

A classic build from Knight/Lord Knight era. Does well in Tanking, Mobbing, MVP and WOE. This is the typical Tank Build, with Phantom Thrust "picking up" strayed monsters or sneaky players targeting the weaker supporting team members. Transcend character is critical for this build to inflicted status damage with Vital Strike; Knight's Spear Boomerang and Lord Knight's Clashing Spiral adds to Rune Knight'sHundred Spears damage as well.

Disclaimer: This Build popularity has given way to the Dragon Breath Build as the latter has more burst damage and mobility; both builds are actually largely similar Skill Tree wise, focusing on Spear and Dragon Skills; key difference will be this build focus on Pierce, Clashing Spiraland Hundred Spears, while the other focus on Dragon Breath. Also, due to this builds lack of INT, skills cannot be cast as frequently.

Notes:

Clashing Spiral damage easily equals or better Hundred Spears damage.
Players who proceed to Rune Knight without Transcend Character, Hundred Spears is a priority.

ASPD/Frenzy Build

STR:60+
AGI:100-120
VIT:1+
INT:60+
DEX:75+
LUK:90+

An ASPD Rune Knight sports high AGI for ASPD, STR for the damage, good DEX and LUK for Hit and Crit/Dodge respectively, aiming for ASPD of 190 and more. This Build also sings in tune with the Lord Knight's Frenzy skill for Transcend Character. For Frenzy Build, 2-Hand Swords need not to be emphasize as Frenzy increases ASPD for all weapon types - and Mace Weapon Type (NO Shield) sports the highest ASPD in Frenzy Mode. This Build is great for MVP-ing. Theme: "Can't Touch Me!" Not recommended for PvP and WOE.

Balanced Build

Base stats:

STR:78-97
AGI:81-97
VIT:89-95
INT:90
DEX:63-83
LUK:30-57

A Balanced Build Rune Knight aims for versatility, capable of taking on various roles and situations. This build is great for those who prefer to solo and wants to utilize everything that Rune Knight has to offer. It's skill tree focuses on 2-handed swords, yet branches off into spears as well for Spear Dynamo and Clashing Spiral (which can be cast with 2Hand-Swords in Renewal).

As such, this build at its peak can:

(1) attain high ASPD with Turisus Runestone + Asir Runestone + Twohand Quicken/Frenzy (Sidenote: Mace has highest ASPD with Frenzy)

(2) Parry + Dragon Howling/Dragon Breath + Pertz Rune AOE Combo and

(3) perform Clashing Spiral one-shot wonders; therefore Transcending is mandatory in order to acquire the Lord Knight's Parry, Frenzy andClashing Spiral skills to be most successful in using this build. This build offers a wide variety of options and can be a very fun build to attempt. However, this build calls for great investment item-wise and skill-wise in serious PvP and WOE environment.

Recommended equipment

Clashing Spiral
Frenzy
- Bloodlust Penetration Krasnaya of Elimination (Samurai Specter Card, Memory of Thanatos Card, Randgris Card)
- Quadruple Crucial Mace (Lord of the Dead Card)
Autocast
- Storm-Bringer's Explosive Violet Fear (Stormy Knight Card and Turtle General Card)
- Ring of Flame Lord + Ring of Resonance

Skill Tree Pointers:

No more than 1 skill point in Cavalier Mastery
Max Clashing Spiral, Dragon Breath, Frenzy, Aura Blade, Parry, Enchant Blade, Two-Handed Sword Mastery.
There is also suggestion to Max Endure to use in place of Spear Dynamo for mobbing due to lower MaxHP. However, Endure has a long skill delay, while Spear Dynamo has zero skill delay; MAX either Endure for MDEF or Bowling Bash for knock back/AOE mobbing prior to mastering Ignition Break.
Up to 15 Skill Points may be "wasted" in Spear Mastery, Pierce and Spear Stab <- Need to MAX Class 2 Job Level to 70.

Job Change to Geneticist

Ragnarok Geneticist Job Change Quest Guide

The Geneticist Quest mostly all happens in Lighthalzen. Before doing the Genetics Quest, have a Cart Revolution skill. Also, make sure you have done the Biochemist study course quests for alchemist and biochemist prior on doing this quest, as you won’t be able to do them again. Bring some healing potions and sp potions as you have to battle a mob of Poison Spores in a mini arena.

Ragnarok Geneticist Job Change Quest

1. Start the Genetics Job Change Quest in the Alchemist Guild in Al de Baran. Go inside and speak with the Alchemist Union Member(alde_alche 35,185) on the first floor. Choose Meet a Geneticist and he will direct you to Lighthalzen.

2. Board the Juno airship and head over to the Geneticist Guild (lighthalzen 54 132) in Lighthalzen and speak with Devries (job3_gen01 25,58) inside. Tell him you are also from Rune Midgarts. Suddenly, you are interrupted with noise upstairs and he will be stressed out. The only thing you can do to calm him down is to bring him some cookies

3. Head upstairs and on the northern part of the room, click on the Delivery Box (job3_gen01 81,72) and choose Open the box and Take a cookie.

4. Go back downstairs and hand Devries a cookie and tell him you want to be a geneticist. Talk to him until he asks you to conduct experiments on plants.

5. Click on the cabinet and read the Plant guide. It’s a short read and it would be nice to read them all but you only need to read the Plant option.

6. Acquire all the plants on the first floor as an ingredient.

1. Bigibigigrass (job3_gen01 36 55)

2. Muka Tree (job3_gen01 36 45)

3. Boga Vine (job3_gen01 42 55)

4. Aolatura (job3_gen01 30 58)

5. Congra (job3_gen01 30 63)

6. Sticky Grass (job3_gen01 32 38)

7. Head over to the Testing Table to conduct an experiment. The following are the correct choices but they show up in random and may appear repeatedly. Choose whatever seed type and you shall receive a Seed for Experiment. The seed may be a good seed or a bad seed.

1. Crush
2. Heat
3. Put it into a Testing Flask and Shake
4. Dip in distilled Water
5. Inject it into a Testing Seed

A picture of a bad seed. If you get a bad seed, you still need to speak with Devries

A picture of a good seed.

8. Give the seed to Devries and he will experiment on it. If you fail, you have to repeat from step 6. If you succeed, he will recommend you to the Alchemist Union Member but it will take some time so he’ll ask you to meet Demi Calberine instead.

9. Upstairs, talk to Demi Calberine (job3_gen01 91,48). She seeks your help of finding some parts for the ordered mini canon that needs to be delivered that day. She needs 10 of them

10. Click on any of the Scattered Parts all over the second floor until you get 10 parts. There are 6 locations of the scattered parts, all in the second floor. When you get 10 of them (it will not appear on the inventory) you’ll get the message I think i’ve gathered all the parts.

Table below Demi

Wagon near the stairs

Canon near the stairs

Books at the southern part of the second floor

11. Give the parts to Demi Calberine and she will show you a good training spot for the mini canon (Cart Revolution). She will then warp you with the Poison spores cage on the first floor.

12. Kill 100 Poison Spores. If you die or exit the pen, you can talk with Demi Calberine again to enter the cage. It is not necessary to use the Cart Revolution skill.

13. Once you killed 100 poison spores, click on the warning sign (job3_gen01 18 39) to exit the cage.

14. Remove your cart as you are about done in the Genetics Job Change Quest. Speak with Devries until a response from the Alchemist Union Member has arrived. After reading the letter, he will change you into a Ragnarok Geneticist. Congratulations! You get 1 Midas Whisper which you can wear if you turn base level 100 and a Green Apple Ring

The Sims Social Tips & Tricks for Better Playing

Date: Aug 17 2011 09:17:58 Source: Unigamesity Views: 68,832
KeyWord: The Sims Social, The Sims Social Guide, Tips, Tricks, Skills

In order to help you progress a little faster with The Sims Social, I have decided to create this guide: a series of tips and tricks that will help you get the most out of the game without too much hassle!

By CALIN CIABA on Unigamesity

Keep your Sim Inspired at all times by maximizing the needs of the Sim (hunger, sleep, hygiene, social and so on). Inspired Sims get extra cash which can be used to greatly improve your lifestyle
Focus on increasing skills: play the guitar, write on the computer (or typewriter), do all those things that help you get better and gain more Simoleones.
Keep interacting with friends: except for the fact that you will keep your Sim happy, you will get extra energy and a lot of valuable items from interacting with friends
Don’t perform the same interaction action two times in a row with other Sims: they don’t like it and the effect will be negative!
Focus on completing the missions (quests) to the left. They give you great rewards and help you progress within the game’s story. They are also used to unlock items from the store and give you special rewards.
Keep an eye on the Facebook wall: neighbors will certainly share a lot ofcollectibles that are as valuable as pure gold in The Sims Social
Don’t forget to actually use the items: you can only hold a limited number of each item in your inventory, so don’t let them waste and actually use your items!
There are specific actions that get greyed out when performed at your home (like Daydream). Instead of paying real money to complete it, simply visit friends and Daydream at their place!
Sit back and enjoy the ride! The Sims Social is a social game where you don’t have to hurry in order to “win” something: just sit back and enjoy the game! You’re probably here for a long ride!

Simoleons are the virtual currency in The Sims Social, the "money" that you can use in the game in order to purchase new decorations for your home, build extra rooms and so on. However, getting more Simoleons is not the easiest thing to do and so I've decided to share with you some tips and tricks on how to get more money (simoleons) in The Sims Social. Hopefully this will help you progress faster!

1. The easiest way to get more Simoleons in the game is by purchasing them directly for real money. Although this is not a method I'd recommend, you can do it if you have a lot of Sim Cash to spend or if you really want to buy something. However, since there's no hurry in the game, you could try the methods below to get more Simoleons in The Sims Social.

2. Perform actions on skill items: compose music, write on the computer or typing machine, paint and so on. Make sure to always perform the actions that give you the most money and always purchase new skill items since they also give you more Simoleons!

3. Perform actions in your house: most of the things that you do and require energy will give you some more or less Simoleons - repair broken items, cut grass, take pictures etc

4. Plant and harvest crops: the sooner you harvest crops from the moment they're ready, the better since you get a bonus (extra money) for freshness. Always have crops planted and harvest them because they mean easy money!

5. Send the gift of Simoleons - we can send 25 Simoleons to friends, which is not much, but if we have at least 10 friends to send us daily this amount, things start to look really nice!

6. Complete Missions: Most of the missions reward you with a nice sum of Simoleons once completed, so you should make it your main goal to complete missions!

VERY IMPORTANT: Always perform actions when you are INSPIRED. This will give you a boost of money (Simoleons) which you should not ignore. Also, getting Inspired is not that difficult!

Alchemist Job Change Guide

1. Proceed to Al De Baran. The building in the southwest corner is the Alchemist guild (aldebaran 68, 56). Inside, talk to the Alchemist Guildsman (alde_alche 27, 185) to sign up to become an Alchemist. She will ask you for 50,000 Zeny and one of the following:

7 Berserk Potions (Comodo Item Shop)
7500 Fire Arrows (Sunken Ship Dungeon Tool Dealer)
100 Mini Furnaces (Geffen Blacksmith Guild)

1 Hammer of Blacksmith
1 Old Magicbook

2. Once the player has finished registering, go downstairs to a star-shaped room. Head towards the second room on the right side wall to talk with Rasputin.

3. Rasputin will discuss ill-prepared Alchemists and then give a math oriented exam. This exam consists of two addition-subtraction questions, three multiplication-division questions, two questions pertaining to discount-overcharge, and three questions about the DEF and weight of certain items and armors. The player will need to answer 80% of the questions correctly to proceed.

Bypassing: If the player has Job 50, they can skip this part of the exam. Go straight to step 4.

Math Questions:

13+25+37+48 = 123

12+23+34+45 = 114

1,000-58-214-416 = 312

1,000-36-227-348 = 389

14*17*3 = 714

12*24*3 = 864

10,530/3/5/2 = 351

9765/3/5/7 = 93

(35*19) - (1,792/7) = 409

(47*28) - (1376/4) = 972

(2,368/8) + (24*17) = 704

(2,646/7) + (13*28) = 742

Discount Questions:

Red Potion (12), Fly Wing (5) Butterfly Wing (1) = 909z

Red Potion (6), Green Potion (7) Fly Wing (8) = 798z

Green Potion (15), Magnifier (6), Trap (4) = 934z

Weight Questions:

3 Ring Pommel Sabers, 4 Caps, 2 Boots = 550

2 Ring Pommel Sabers, 3 Caps, 3 Boots = 480

3 Scimitars, 2 Helms, Coat = 450

Defense Questions:

Buckler, Coat, Gas Mask, Big Ribbon, Fillet, Sakkat, Glasses = 20

Biretta, Manteau, Opera Mask, Ribbon, Muffler, Boots, Earmuffs = 20

Mirror Shield, Leather Jacket, Mr. Smile, Silk Robe, Wedding Veil, Muffler,Eye Patch = 12

Profit Questions:

5 Helms
Standard price = 44,000z
24% discount = 33,440z
20% discount selling price = 35,200z
Profit (35,200-33,440)*5 = 8,800z

4 Padded Armor
Standard price = 48,000z
24% discount = 36,480z
20% discount selling price = 38,400
Profit (38,400-36,480)*4 = 7,680z

3 Tights
Standard price = 71,000
24% discount = 53,960
20% discount selling price = 56,800
Profit (56,800-53,960)*3 = 8,520

4. After passing the quiz, head to the next room and talk with Darwin. He will explain the basics for creating potions.

Bypassing: Giving an 'Illusion Flower' to Darwin (by first selecting the flower option when initially speaking to him) will send the player directly to the final NPC (Step 16) in honor of the bribe.

The player will need the following items for this part:

1 Red Herb
1 Yellow Herb
1 White Herb
3 Empty Bottles
3 Medicine Bowls (The 3 Medicine bowls can be bought upstairs from the male Alchemist NPC)

He will then ask questions regarding potion creation after he explains the process.

5. Move to the next room to meet with Van Hellmont. It is not actually required that the player make counteragents or mixtures, the player just needs these items to do this part of the quest:

6. With these items, head to Alberta Mansion (alberta 102,222) and go upstairs to the second room on the right (alberta_in 133,55). Talk to the NPC near the corner (Louitz) and he will tell the player to talk to Aure Dupon in Geffen.

7. Go to Geffen and talk to the NPC (181,114) near the eastern Kafra, who will tell the player to talk to Morgenstein, the crazy scientist. Morgenstein (141,140) is located on the second floor of the Blacksmith Guild in southeast Geffen (181,62).

8. Talk to the scientist to learn about Counteragents and Mixtures. It is suggested that the player also buy 5 Mini Furnaces while you are in the Blacksmith Guild for another part of the quest. The player can buy these on the first floor of the Blacksmith guild.

9. Head back to Al de Baran to talk with Van Hellmont. He'll ask the player two questions pertaining what was just learned from the Dye quest. For reference:

Dye Quest
Counteragent	Detrimindextra (1) + Alcohol (1)
Mixture	Karvodailnirol (1) + Alcohol (1)

10. In the next room Nicholas will give simple word puzzles which include unscrambling names and items in Ragnarok and other word related puzzles.

Set 1
Q: m p d i c f a r o g n k w a s	A: packman
Q: g b n o p r e f a r e t a s k	A: ragnarok
Q: u g n i s j e k c e o g n d p	A: opening
Q: r o e h n r o m c a i n p t t	A: potionmerchant
Set 2
Q: t m y a n y e o b n e g p r i	A: brigan
Q: o n c u t a p j l e r s v m u	A: vendor
Q: t v a r m e g p h e u b o y l	A: party
Q: q z a h n a i n b r d p t n c	A: partizan
Set 3
Q: s m i e x b w u n e t a g i r	A: tiger

Q: l r m g r e x t a v i n e d e	A: evergreen
Q: r o e h n r o m c a i n p t t	A: potionmerchant

11. Once finished, talk to him again and he will give the player several items which are needed for the following part of the quest. DO NOT SELL OR STORE THE ITEMS

12. Nicholas will tell the player to go meet Bajin and Bain in Juno. Before heading out, make sure to have the following items along with the items from Nicholas:

5 Coal
5 Mini Furnaces
2000 Zeny

13. Head to Juno, and enter the building in the southwestern area (yuno 52, 105). Go upstairs to find two brothers. Give them all the items and they will attempt to make Gold.

14. Once the experiment is complete, head back to Al De Baran and talk with Nicholas again. This experiment fails most of the time and the player will receive a variety of items from iron ores to gold depending on luck.

15. After this go back to Nicholas and he will tell you to go upstairs.

16. Head to the second floor of the Alchemist guild and talk to the NPC with rainbow colored hair to change jobs. If the player is Job 50, he/she will receive a Condensed Potion Creation Guide(240,000z). If he/she chooses to change to Alchemist at any level lower than 50, he/she will receive a random potion manual which are 100,000z each and sold by the male Alchemist on the ground floor.

Horadric Cube Recipes (Diablo II)

[edit]What is it?

The Horadric Cube is a quest item obtained in Act II which can be used to complete several quests. In addition to that task, it can be also used as a permanent backpack to store additional items and create new ones.

[edit]How do you use it?

You can place items into the Horadric Cube by picking them up and dragging them over the Horadric Cube. You will hear a sound when the item is placed into the Cube. You can also open up the Cube by right clicking on it like a Tome. Drag items from your inventory into the Cube. (A new inventory for the cube will open.)

Now to really use it you just put in the ingredients of the recipe and hit the transmute button (right click the Horadric Cube and hit the button right below it's inventory.)

[edit]Jewelery


3	Magic Rings		→	1	Random (Stronger) Magic Amulet

Save any unwanted rings for the chance of getting a high quality amulet.
Formula: ilvl = int(.75 * clvl).
This means at Character Level 65 , ilvl = 48. So any Magical Prefix or Suffix with a level of 48 and below might be available.
At Character Level 100, ilvl = 75. Since +2 to Skills amulets have a level of 90, it's not possible to create a +2 to skills Amulet with this recipe.


3	Magic Amulets		→	1	Random (Stronger) Magic Ring

Save any unwanted amulets for the chance of getting a high quality ring.
Formula: ilvl = int(.75 * clvl).
This means at Character Level 65, ilvl = 48. So any Magical Prefix or Suffix with a level of 48 and below might be available. (Works the same as with rings.)


1	Ring	+	1	Perfect Emerald	+	1	Antidote Potion	→	1	Jade Ring (21-30% Poison Resistance)
1	Ring	+	1	Perfect Ruby	+	1	Exploding Potion	→	1	Garnet Ring (21-30% Fire Resistance)
1	Ring	+	1	Perfect Sapphire	+	1	Thawing Potion	→	1	Cobalt Ring (21-30% Cold Resistance)
1	Ring	+	1	Perfect Topaz	+	1	Rejuvenation Potion	→	1	Coral Ring (21-30% Lightning Resistance)


1	Perfect Amethyst		+	1	Perfect Diamond		+	1	Perfect Emerald		+	1	Perfect Ruby		+	1	Perfect Sapphire		+	1	Perfect Topaz		+	1	Amulet		→	1	PrismaticAmulet (16-25% Resist All)

[edit]General Items


3	Perfect Skulls		+	1	Rare Item	+	Stone of Jordan		→	Add 1 Socket To a Rare Item

Rare Items can only have one socket. You cannot add sockets to items that don't normally have sockets.


1	Perfect Skull		+	1	Rare Item	+	Stone of Jordan		→	1 High Quality New Rare Item of the same type

This formula has the possibility of creating a higher quality Rare Item.
Formula: ilvl = int(.66 * clvl) + int(.66 * ilvl)
That is, the ilvl will be equal to .66 times your clvl (rounded down) plus .66 times the input item's ilvl (also rounded down).

Example: You are level 80 and the rare item is level 65.
(.66 * 80) + (.66 * 65) = ilvl 92


6	Perfect Skulls		+	1	Rare Item	→	1 Random Rare Item of the same type

You can use this formula to get another chance at a Rare Item of the same type.
Formula: ilvl = int(.4 * clvl) + int(.4 * ilvl)
This formula will not work on items larger than 3x2.

Example: You are level 80 and the rare item is level 65.
(.4 * 80) + (.4 * 65) = ilvl 58


3	Perfect Gems	or or or or or or	+	1	Magic Item	→	1 Random Magic Item of the same type

You can use this formula to get another chance at a Magic Item of the same type.
Formula: ilvl = ilvl.
This means that the ilvl of the output is exactly the same as the ilvl of the input.
Rare Items cannot be used with this formula to create new Rare Items. You can also use this on Charms and Jewels.


1	Hel		+	1	Scroll of Town Portal		+	Any Socketed Item	→	Remove items from sockets

Warning: This will destroy any gems, runes, or jewels you have socketed.


3	Health Potions		+	3	Mana Potions		+	1	Chipped Gem	→	1	Rejuvenation Potion

Any grade of Health/Mana Potion can be used. You can also use chipped skulls.


3	Health Potions		+	3	Mana Potions		+	1	Gem Normal	→	1	Full Rejuvenation Potion

Any grade of Health/Mana Potion can be used. You can also use skulls in the place of Gems.


3	Rejuvenation Potions		→	1	Full Rejuvenation Potion


3	Strangling Gas Potions		+	Healing Potion	→	1	Antidote Potion


2	Quiver of Bolts		→	1	Quiver of Arrows

Random quantity of Arrows produced.


2	Quiver of Arrows		→	1	Quiver of Bolts

Random quantity of Bolts produced.

[edit]Weapons


1	Spear		+	1	Quiver of Arrows		→	1	Stack of Javelins

Any class/type of Spear can be used. Random quantity of javelins produced.


1	Axe		+	1	Dagger		→	Throwing Axe

Any class/type of Axe can be used (i.e. magic/socketed/non magical axe/etc). Random quantity of throwing axes produced.


4	Health Potion (any type)		+	1	Ruby (any type)		+	1	Magical Sword	→	1	A Magic Sword of the Leech

You can use this formula to get a Life Stealing sword.
Formula: ilvl = 30 (always).
The sword will always have the "of the Leech" suffix (4-5% Life Stolen Per Hit) and has a chance at getting a prefix as well. The type of sword is retained. For example, a short sword as input will give a short sword as output.


1	Diamond(any type)		+	1	Staff (any type and quality)		+	1	Kris (any quality)		+	1	Belt (any type and quality)		→	1	Savage Polearm Class Weapon

Formula: ilvl=50 (always).
The polearm will always have the Savage prefix (66-80% Enhanced Damage) and has a chance at getting a suffix as well. The polearm will be one of the following, selected randomly: Bardiche, Battle Scythe, Bill, Halberd, Lochaber Axe, Partizan, Poleaxe, Scythe, Voulge, War Scythe (put another way, any normal polearm or any exceptional polearm other than Bec-de-Corbin and Grim Scythe).


3	Normal Gems	or or or or or or	+	1	Socketed Normal Weapon	→	1	Socketed Magic Weapon

Formula: ilvl=30 (always).
This takes a socketed weapon and makes it a magic socketed weapon with a random number of sockets (it gets 1-2 sockets).
This allows you to get new magic bonuses on an otherwise non magical weapon.
The original weapon properties will be removed (rerolled) when the new weapon is created.


3	Chipped Gems	or or or or or or	+	1	Magic Weapon	→	Socketed Magic Weapon

Formula: ilvl=25 (always).
This adds sockets to a magic weapon (it gets 1-2 sockets). The original magic weapon properties will be removed (rerolled) when the new weapon is created. If you use this formula with a weapon that is not normally socketed such as a Javelin, this recipe will create a new magical weapon without any sockets.


3	Flawless Gems	or or or or or or	+	1	Magic Weapon	→	Socketed Magic Weapon

Formula: ilvl=30 (always).
This adds sockets to a magic weapon (it gets 1-2 sockets). The original magic weapon properties will be removed (rerolled) when the new weapon is created. If you use this formula with a weapon that is not normally socketed such as a Javelin, this recipe will create a new magical weapon without any sockets.

1 Ral Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal Weapon -> Socketed Weapon of same type

The item must be normal and unsocketed. Low-quality items and superior items do not work. The item gets 1-6 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that ilvl can have. For example, if you have an item that can only have 2 sockets, there's a 5/6 chance of getting 2 sockets and a 1/6 chance of getting 1 socket.

1 Eld Rune + 1 Chipped Gem + Low Quality Weapon -> Normal Quality Weapon of same type

Formula: ilvl = 1 (always). That is, regardless of what the ilvl was beforehand, it will be set to 1.

1 Ral Rune + 1 Sol Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Normal Unique Weapon -> Exceptional Version of Weapon

This formula changes the base item type from the normal to exceptional version. For example an Axe is turned into a Cleaver. This does NOT convert the item to the Exceptional Unique version of the Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain.

1 Lum Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Emerald + Exceptional Unique Weapon -> Elite Version of Weapon (Single Player, Ladder Only)

This formula changes the base item type from the exceptional to elite version. For example a Cleaver is turned into a Small Crescent. This does NOT convert the item to the Elite Unique version of the Exceptional Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. You cannot do this formula unless you are using a Ladder Character. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will remain.

1 Ort Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Normal (Basic) Rare Weapon -> Exceptional Rare Weapon

1 Fal Rune + 1 Um Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Exceptional Rare Weapon -> Elite Rare Weapon

1 Ort Rune + Weapon -> Fully Repaired Weapon

Use this Rune + Your Horadric Cube to repair your weapon. You cannot repair Ethereal items.

1 Ort Rune + 1 Chipped Gem (any kind) + Weapon -> Fully Repaired and Recharged Weapon

You cannot repair ethereal weapons.

[edit]Armor

1 Magic Shield (any type) + 1 Spiked Club (any quality) + 2 Skulls (any quality) -> Magic Shield of Spikes

Formula: ilvl=30 (always). The shield will always have the "of Spikes" suffix (Attacker Takes Damage of 4-6) and has a chance at getting a prefix as well. The type of shield is retained, and any type of shield (including paladin shields and necromancer shrunken heads) works as input.

1 Tal Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Topaz + Normal Body Armor -> Socketed Body Armor of same type

The item must be normal and unsocketed. Low-quality items and superior items do not work. The item gets 1-4 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that ilvl can have. For example, if you have an item that can only have 3 sockets, there's a 2/4 chance of getting 2 sockets and a 1/4 chance of getting 1 or 2 socket(s).

1 Ral Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Normal Helm -> Socketed Helm of same type

The item must be normal and unsocketed. Low-quality items and superior items do not work. The item gets 1-3 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that ilvl can have. For example, if you have an item that can only have 2 sockets, there's a 2/3 chance of getting 2 sockets and a 1/3 chance of getting 1 socket.

1 Tal Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Ruby + Normal Shield -> Socketed Shield of same type

The item must be normal and unsocketed. Low-quality items and superior items do not work. The item gets 1-4 sockets, randomly. However, the number of sockets is then restricted by the maximum number of sockets that base item with that ilvl can have. For example, if you have an item that can only have 2 sockets, there's a 3/4 chance of getting 2 sockets and a 1/4 chance of getting 1 socket.

1 El Rune + 1 Chipped Gem + Low Quality Armor -> Normal Quality Armor of same type

Formula: ilvl = 1 (always). That is, regardless of what the ilvl was beforehand, it will be set to 1.

1 Tal Rune + 1 Shael Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Normal Unique Armor -> Exceptional Version of Armor

This formula changes the base item type from the normal to exceptional version. For example Quilted Armor is turned into Ghost Armor. This does NOT convert the item to the Exceptional Unique version of the Unique Item. So you cannot for example use this formula to transform Greyform into The Spirit Shroud. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain. Armor refers to any sort of armor, including helms, boots, belts, gloves and shields.

1 Ko Rune + 1 Lem Rune + 1 Perfect Diamond + Exceptional Unique Armor -> Elite Version of Armor (Single Player, Ladder Only)

This formula changes the base item type from the exceptional to elite version. For example Ghost Armor is turned into a Dusk Shroud. This does NOT convert the item to the Elite Unique version of the Unique Item. Unique item bonuses remain the same; only the item it's based on is upgraded. This can be used to upgrade Ethereal Items also. They will continue to be Ethereal after they are upgraded. You cannot do this formula unless you are using a Ladder Character. Also if the item is socketed, then jewels or runes and their mods will also remain. Armor refers to any sort of armor, including helms, boots, belts, gloves and shields, not just body armor.

1 Ral Rune + 1 Thul Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Normal (Basic) Rare Armor -> Exceptional Rare Armor

The item type is upgraded.

1 Fal Rune + 1 Um Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Exceptional Rare Weapon -> Elite Rare Weapon

1 Ko Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Exceptional Rare Armor -> Elite Rare Armor

1 Ral Rune + 1 Flawed Gem (any kind) + Armor -> Fully Repaired and Recharged Armor

You cannot repair ethereal armor. Armor refers to any sort of armor, including helms, boots, belts, gloves and shields, not just body armor.

[edit]Quest/Other

Wirt's Leg + A Tome of Town Portal -> Secret Cow Level

You must Transmute in the Act I Rogue Encampment. You must have already killed Baal in the same Difficulty Level. One time per Difficulty Level.

Tip: if you lead the Cows around the Red Portal and die, you may not be able to fight your way back inside. Try to run in as far as you can and open up an escape Town Portal for backup.

Staff of Kings + Viper Amulet -> Horadric Staff

Use the Horadric Staff to open Tal Rasha's Tomb in Act II

Khalim's Eyes + Khalim's Heart + Khalim's Brain + Khalim's Flail -> Khalim's Will

Use Khalim's Will to destroy the Compelling Orb and enter the Durance of Hate in Act III.

This guide is originally posted by Amiris - Sanctuary from PWI official forum
http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=125991

Hello all, Amiris here. Felt like making a short guide on moneymaking, because it seems the majority of newer people have trouble keeping up with equipment, and nearly every high lvl player complains about skill costs. First of all, don't mind my avatar. My main is NOT lvl 42. She's higher. Amiris is my forum char because the rest of my avatars are bugged.
Anyway, on to the actual guide. I'll divide the concept of money making into two subcategories.

1) Making money
2) Saving the money you've made

Should be reasonable enough. Alright, on to making money.
I'll list several effective ways to do this.

A) Grind.

Fairly obvious. When grinding, you get lots of money and item drops. Pick them ALL up, unless there's some insane swarm of monsters on top of it and you can't handle them. Do NOT ignore the money drops, even though there seems to be so little money. It builds up. A player lvling from 1-20 without picking up any money missed out on, on average, about 50-60K. And those are the easy no-grind lvls.
Also, sell any drops you may get to the NPC. This includes Dragon Quest drops, unless you're actually able to sell them to other players. I wouldn't count on that. From my own experiences, it's best to sell every single DQ drop to the NPC, unless you're really desperate to upgrade your bank.
Items you should keep :
-Things you may need, such as potions
-Good equipment (good equipment is any BLUE two-star item or better. Explanation below.)
-Materials if you need them
Just for comparison, at lvl 45, my Venomancer made about 100K while grinding 30%.

B) Help people

Sounds odd, doesn't it. "But Amiris, I don't want to get paid for helping people." That's right, you don't. Helping people just because they'll pay you isn't exactly nice. However, it does work the other way around. People may pay you just because you helped them. Like a Ch'in squad needing a Cleric, those aren't exactly rare, and they'll often end up paying the Cleric for their help. Other such occasions are helping people with a dungeon (without wine. You don't get paid for a wined run.), or crafting items for others (provided they give you the materials).

C) Sell the good items

To players, that is. If you got a nice equipment drop from a monster, your best option would be to sell it to a player, because they're usually worth a lot more than the NPC will pay you. Good equipment is usually a blue-named two-star item with decent stats (By which I mean a magic weapon with accuracy does NOT have decent stats). Now, there's three types of people:
-People who sell their items through chat. This is usually not a great option. Trade chat in West Archo can get you a buyer sometimes, but it's usually not very effective.
-People who sell their items through a 'cat shop'. This is a good option for the medium-priced items.
-People who sell their items through the auction. This is a great option for the medium to high-priced items. You can set a minimum bid (and a buyout price), then just go grind. After 24 hours, the item will get sold to the highest bidder (earlier if someone payed the buyout price). Downside is that you have to pay to use the auction. Costs are negligible though, just make sure you'll get more money out of it than you put in.

D) Farm
"What, I'm not a farmer!" No, but you should farm materials. Anytime you see a material, grab it. They sell high and they're quite common, especially at the higher lvls, when you're the only one around to grab it. It's usually best to decide what materials you'll grab though, as bank space is limited. If you have to decide, pick either herbs or the rest.

E) FB's are great exp

But they're horrible for money. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT lvl doing just call to duties for the reward. There is NO money reward, and you won't get a lot of drops in dungeons. You may get lucky and get a mold, but don't count on it. Do an fb every once in a while, don't constantly stand in towns asking for call to duties.
How does this make money? Because it relates to grinding. No fb's = more grinding = more money.

There, that's basic money making. Now, how to save the money you've made.

A) Walk, fly, run, swim

"Uhh, I do that already." Yes, but not enough. Way too many people teleport around places. Put it this way : If you're paying to teleport around Archosaur, or paying the -I think- 5K to go from Sumor Camp to Swiftwind Tribe, you're wasting your money. You may think it's not a lot, but it really builds up. Teleporting is the number 1 mistake people make regarding their money. I generally only teleport between the following places :
-The three main cities : They're relatively far from each other, and I'll admit it's quite dull to fly between them as much as you should. Therefore, I teleport between these.
-City of the Lost -> Wellspring Village : My gateway to Archosaur. It costs 200 coins, and flying from there to Archosaur takes about 2 minutes. Saves you 2.8K.
-The towns from lvl 1-20 : Eh, it's only 200 coins, you can make that back from a single monster. You have to walk too much at the lower lvls otherwise.
Also, if you have TW teleports in your faction, use them wisely, because they're awesome.

Edit: The FREE teleport to Archosaur. Starting at lvl 40, if you want to get to Archosaur, go to a main town (the lvl 1 and 2 territory towns) and go to the Adventure Assistant and Khatru Pup. Have either teleport you into the Cube of Fate, then talk to the Exit manager in there to warp to Archosaur. Free teleport, use it.

B) Don't buy NPC items

NPC items are NOT worth the price you pay for them, though I suppose shards are an exception to that rule. If you need items, buy them from players or the auction. This especially goes for equipment. Usually, blue two-stars in the auction are cheaper than white 1-star NPC items.

C) Don't buy stuff cause it's pretty

Too often do I see this: people buying three-stars with horrible stats just because they glow. Or imbuing elemental shards into your equipment, just for the looks. That's a LOT of money down the drain. And a blue weapon isn't really exceptional either - don't expect to be seen as a god just cause you have one.

D) Boutique Clothes don't do anything

So don't get them unless you really, really want them. And even then, make sure you can really spare the money. Boutique Clothes are only there to look nice. I suppose this falls under C a bit...

E) Only get the good skills

Don't waste your money just to try a skill out. Read the description, look it up, then decide whether or not you want it. For example, many wizards want to get Hailstorm, it's an AoE and all. However, the skill is totally rubbish. Money (and SP) wasted.

RAGNAROK MONEY MAKING TIPS

2012-06-15T06:22:00.000-07:00

Get-Rich-Quick RO Zeny Making Guide

all copyrights goes to Guiderz Online Co
Written by Guiderz - Last Edited: May 04-2010
http://guiderz.com/guides.php?id=55

1.0 Introduction

Let me start off by saying, in Ragnarok Online you CANNOT just "get rich quick" (unless you get lucky and find some rare cards - see '7.0 Easy Zeny from Cards'). Making tons of zeny in Ragnarok Online takes a lot of time and a lot of effort. However, in this Ragnarok Online zeny making guide I will give you some tips and show you how to make zeny when you start off with nothing. I will also show you how the pros get all that zeny that you (before you stumbled upon this guide) only dreamed of getting.

Your first and most important tip: MAKE A MERCHANT
There is no way you can become an RO millionaire without a merchant.

2.0 Novice Zeny Making Tips

I just stared out as a novice. Tell me how to make millions of zennies!!You can't get millions of zeny yet. You need to start of slow. It's mushroom hunting time!

This method is best if you have some way of vending the items you get, because leaving up a chat may prove to take a while (but if you sell for well under market price you will probably get a buyer)

There are several areas with a bunch of mushrooms.

1: Just outside Alberta, near the middle of the map are some ruins with some red mushrooms.

2:Outside of Alberta, and one screen down is a map full of wormtails. Inthe bottom right of this map is a group of red mushrooms.

3: Two maps left of Alberta is a map with Wolves. At the top and slightly to the left of that map are some ruins with red mushrooms.

Spend an hour in one of these places and collect up all the:

Poison Spores: Needed to alchemy, quests, etc (hard to sell)
Mushroom Spores: Needed for quests (hard to sell)
Alcohol - 10k~ each
Karvodailnirol - Needed for Deadly poison/Dye making - 30k~ each
Red Bloods - popular for endows/arrows, 2k~ each
Dew Laden Moss - Spore Tame, 5k~ each

3.0 Top 10 Zeny Making Tips

1. Forger
If your Ragnarok server is just starting out, one of the best character to do is a forger. Usually, forgers are the billionaires in the world of Ragnarok. Elemental weapons are in demand when the server is new or during modified experience weeks. They sold like hotcakes. I earned my first hundred million from my pure forger. There was a modified experience rate that time in my server and I had to forge every morning and evening just to meet the demand of the customers. Forging is only good at the beginning because the demand for these weapons depreciates as the server gets older. Besides, there are elemental coverters which are better alternative for elemental weapons.

What you need:
-Blacksmith Pure Forger (at least level 85 dex-luck build)
-Priest to buffs you whenever you are forging.

Cons:
-Gathering elemental ingredients is a daunty task to do
-Steels are expensive
-Competion from top 10 blacksmiths

2. Elemental Converters
These converters can only be made by sages and professors. You just need a blank scroll and the usual loots (Snail Shell, Horn, Rainbow Shell and Scorpion Tail). It needs 3 of each of these items to create a converter. Vend this before WoE time and *ka-ching* it will generate you lots of zeny. I suggest you buy these ingredients rather than hunt them because it will lead you to nowhere. You won’t be able to level up and you’ll just be bored. There are only a few of professors and sages characters, chances are, you are going to sell these converters like hotcakes. It's best to have a merchant character (merchant/blacksmith/alchemist/whitesmith/creator) as an alt though so you can sell them through a shop, otherwise it may take you a long time to sell them - and then you're not really getting rich quick.

3. The art of buy and sell
The art of buy and sell isn’t as easy as you think it is. You must be aware of the latest prices in the market, what items are most in demand and easier to sell. A lot of my friends in Ragnarok dressed their characters with good equips with buy and sell. You scout for sale or rush items in Prontera then sell and vend it afterwards for much higher price. But be careful of scams in buy and sell. Someone would buy an item for a high price and then his accomplice would sell that item for a low price. Don’t be fooled by this. Choose items well that you think you could generate you more income.

4. OC and DC
Like in forging, when the server is just starting out, chances are not all players have made an Overcharge/Discount merchant character (obviously they havn't read this guide). Take advantage of this. Park your own OC/DC merch in tool shop sand offer discounts on NPC items. For example, park your merchant inthe Prontera tool shop and offer discounts to players who plan to buy items from the tool dealer. The players would prefer to buy from you because your price is much lower. If you want to succeed, be honest! For this technique, you should open a chat room offering to sell any item from the NPC for a, say, 15-20% discount. When a player enters your chat and tells you what item they want, you buy it with your OC/DC merchant and sell it to them for slightly more than what you payed.

5. Reds and Fly Wings
Though you’ll get little income from these, a zeny is still worth something . Everyone needs potions and flywings to survive while leveling. Position your shop near the respawn area, make your price reasonable and players would buy from you.

6. Top 10 Blackmith
It doen’t matter if you are the number one blacksmith as long as you are in the list. Being in the top 10 makes your elemental weapons more desirable because your weapons has +5 ATK advantage over those who are not in the list. Making it in the top 10 may cost you and the return of your investment is not guaranteed.

7. Pure Brewer
If we have pure forgers as one of the tricks to getting rich in Ragnarok, the list wouldn’t be complete without the pure brewers. If you’ll ask me what is more profitable between the two, it depends upon the server you are residing. If the price of alchemist bottles in your server is high, chances are you will generate more income from your brewer. Besides, making a brewer is more of a long term investment. As long as there are still biochemist and alchemist on your server, your goods will always sell. These also sells easily during or before siege time (WoE) and modified experience weeks. Another benefit for brewers is they can get a homunculus to earn them zeny (after they have completed the Bioethics quest). Leaving a homunculus in any Hyda pit (more on Hydra pits later), by some mushrooms, or anywhere really, is a great way to farm rares and semi-rares.

8. Top 10 Brewer
Being in the top 10 brewer is only necessary if you want to focus more in selling your white slim potions. If you belong to the top 10, your potions are 50% more effective. This is avery high maintenance trick, you have to continuously brew white slim potions or else you’ll drop out of the list. Again, don’t do these if you have no plans concentrating on selling white slim potions

9. Hunt
If you can’t buy them, hunt them. If you want your own Angel Wing, why don’t you hunt Angeling by yourself. Who knows, it might even drop a card. This might be risky but it would be fun and fulfilling. Having an Angel Wing through hunting is something you should be proud of.

10.Loots
Gather all the loots that you can get, overcharge (the skill) them with your merchant and you will (eventually) earn millions from this. This is one of the best tips, and should probably be first - not last. Too many people just leave their loots on the ground when they are grinding, which is a huge loss for them. All those small loots addup. Lucky for you, you can pick up other people's loots they don't want and sell them to the NPC. Most servers have a couple of maps that always have a large amount of players grinding in them that do not bother to pick up their loots. These maps are a goldmine for you! You do not even need to kill anything on these maps, just run around picking up loots. A good place to gather items is usually the alde_dun02 where High Orcs are.

4.0 MERCHANT! MERCHANT! MERCHANT!

I can not stress enough the importance of having a merchant. With level 10 Discount, Overcharge and Vending, this will be the main factor of all your zeny making. YOU NEED A MERCHANT. You’ve got 5 character slots, make use of them!

If you need a guide for making a merchant and want to take the path of the Creator, check out our Acid Demo creator guide or the Battle Demo creator guide

If you need to buy something from an NPC, let your merchant discount it. If you're going to sell something to an NPC, let your merchant overcharge it. It’s as simple as that. Put your loot in storage and let the merchant act as your money holder. Note: Using storage DOES cost money, so don’t feel obliged to put in those 10 Sticky Mucus you just got in storage right away, wait until you're on the verge of being overweight before unloading your loot. The same goes with your Merchant, take out the loot when your storage is overflowing with items. Be patient with this, every little bit counts.

If you have a fair bit of zeny to deal with, you may find it of use to stock up (or bulk buy) discounted Awakening Potions, Fly Wings, Yggdrasil Leaves, and Blue Gemstones and just leave them in storage for easy access when your other characters needs them. No Merchant sells fully discounted items, and this way you’ll be saving each time.

At at a higher level, if you wish to keep a small amount of zeny on each character for those buying emergencies, and don’t want to give all your loot to your merchant to overcharge, a process I’ve adapted is to only hoard items that sell to an NPC for over 200z for your merchant, such as Zargons, Manacles and Mud Lumps, and anything that sells for less, sell to an NPC to give your character that extra bit of cash.

Using your Merchant, DC Tool Shop items such as Potions, ASPD Potions, Yggdrasil Leaves, Fly Wings, Butterfly Wings, Blue Gemstones, Traps and Arrows. Then sell them at fair prices in places they are ingreat need, for instance:

Red pots, Orange pots, fly wings, butterfly wings, silver arrows - Sell them just outside the caves in Archer Village, Payon. These will sell out fast, low level characters are in high need of the pots, and higher level characters are too lazy to walk the 4 levels of Payon caves toget where they want to be. Aldo the majority of the monsters here will be weak to silver arrows so they are in great need.

Ygg Leaves, blue gems, white pots, fly wings, bwings, firearrows, traps - These sell very well outside of the clock tower in Al De Baran, outside of the north of GH, or in the centre of the cross in GH churchyard. Fly wings sell out like hotcakes outside the clocktower, as most wizards/sages/mages have to equip a phen and heal accessory, rather than a teleport belt. Fly wings are useful for them as it saves them from switching accessories all the time, and they are also much quicker to use as a hotkey to escape those near death situations.Hunters always need traps and fire arrows outside of CT, and bwings are generally in a lot of need for low leveled characters who portal hopped to GH and don’t want to die to get back.

Concs, awakes and orange pots - These are in high demand at the entrance to level 2 of Toy Factory for all those thiefs, rogues, battle acos, etc who want some fast exp from myst cases.

Silver arrows, concs, awakes, assorted pots – In great need at the orc dungeon. Silver arrows do more damage to zenorcs and the undead in the dungeons there. But I would not recommend vending outside the dungeon as I can almost guarantee you will die. (And when you die, your shop closes)

Where to get fire & silver arrows: Fire arrows can be purchased on the sunken ship island tool dealer, and silvers can be purchased at archer village tool dealer.

Tip for vending: Check your opponent's prices. If you are the cheapest vender in the area, even if it’s only by 1z, people will buy from you instead.

4.1 Your Shop and You

Your shop name might not seem very important, but it is a keyfactor on how successful you are. The general idea is if you are selling something in high demand, list what it is. If you’re selling pots, have a shop name of "POTS". If your selling awakes DO NOT have your shop name as "LOOK HERE PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ". Remember those novices who come up and beg, "zeny plz, tank plz, warp plz"? Remember how much you HATE beggars? Well your customers hate beggars too, so DONT BEG WITH YOUR SHOP NAME.

Now, if you have too much of an assortment of items, and they all wont fit in your shop name, use something that will grab the attention of possible buyers. I do NOT mean have "QUITTING SALE" because frankly, we've all learnt to ignore these things. Use a name people can relate to, or maybe find funny, it makes them feel obliged to have a look at what's inside. For example: On my merchant, I'm generally selling a lot of assorted junk. So what shop name do I use? "SEX!"... Sex really does sell, and I've gotten many messages from people saying how my shop name grabbed their attention, and even other people have started to copy me :P

Vending Etiquette: Place your merchant in a place where people can easily find you, but do not block off other merchants, or let them block you off. If the vending area is too crowded your shop name could be smothered by other people’s shops and no one will ever find you in the mess.

5.0 Blue Herbs

This method is best used by a Thief class character. It’s quite simple, find a Blue Plant, steal from it, and then kill it. Get all the Blue Herbs, Grapes, Shoots, Stems and anything else they drop. Turn the Blue Herbs into Blue Potions in Alberta (or make with an Alchemist) andthey sell for up to 6k each. Grapes turn into Grape Juice, Stems are used to make Alcohol by Alchemists, and Shoots can be sold for300-500z, as it is food for pet Deviruchis.

The best place to find lots of Blue Plants is in the centre of the map one west from Rockers in Prontera. (From Prontera, go south, west, and west) Under a tree surrounded by water spawns 4 plants. This place is highly camped by other Blue Herb hunters, so be fair, offer to make a deal about sharing the plants, or you can try other places.

The other best place to find Blue Plants, is at the Yggdrasil Treemap before Niffleheim. To get there from Umbala, head to the top exit, then fwing/teleport/fight your way through to the centre portal on the next two maps. This map has all plants, including many Shining Plants,but you can NOT memo here, or even relog here. You will be sent back to your save point.This location is the most popular for herb hunters.

6.0 Top Zeny Making Areas

Payon dungeon level 3: Hydra pit
On this map are Bonguns, Munaks, Skeleton Archers, Hydras and one ninetails.Just a bit north of the center of this map is a pool of water that spawns a mob of hydras. Use a wizard, hunter or some other character with an area attack to kill these off easily. Bonguns and Munaks will easily fall to a firewall, but Ninetails might be a problem, so justfly wing away if you can't handle it. The mass killing of hydras will increase your chance of getting a hydra card, as well as the off chance of getting s.shoes, munak/bongun hats, apple of archer or an OBB from monsters that come to pester you during your hydra killing fest.
All of these are worth a lot of zeny.

Another hydra pit is located on Amatsu field. This place is ideal for agi characters as the kaphas are great job exp. Knights can bowling bash the hydras while gaining exp from kaphas and other monsters. This map is also full of loot, including cyfars.

Pyramids: Levels 3,4,5,6
Ideal for agi class, monks, sins, knights, rogues. Ice weapons are your friend here. Minos, mummies and verits. Each card is worth over a mill and in great demand. Ideal for people wanting to level their characters from 70+. Immortal hearts dropped by verits are also a battle alchemist's best friend, as they are used to make acid bottles. Stock up on them and sell them for more than you would get from an npc.

Mjolnir_05: Argiopes!
This is best for mages, as they'll be gaining a LOT of exp while having a wide variety of rares to pick from. S.boots, mantis card,argiope card, flora card, and an unlimited supply of rough eluniums. Bug legs and maneater blossoms are needed for knight job change quests so you'll fetch a nice price for them if vended in the right spot. Maneater Blossoms are also needed by Alchemists to make plant bottles and usually sell for 300-750z each.

Orc Dungeon Level 2: Zenorcs
Basically any class can do well here. Exp is great for 60+ people to get to 70. Not too many rares here, but theres so much loot that you'll make up for the lack of rares with basic overcharge goods. Battlesmiths have the advantage as they can put their loot in their carts, where others will find themselves getting overweight very quickly. Other than the basic loot, theres still some good rares out there: Zenorc card, orc skeleton card, drainliar card, rough eluniumand oridecon, emperiums, orc helms, and smaller goodies such as sardoynx, shining stones (petite tame) and old magic books (for baphojr. tame)

Glast Heim Chivalry
GH Chivalry is only recommended for those who can handle it. Parties do best here at most, but its worth it. Rayric cards, s.chainmail, pure eluniums, khalitz cards, small ribbons, crystalpumps, bone helms, mirror sheilds, iron cain, arbalest bows, s.fullplate, s.sheilds, s.helms, pole axe the list goes on...

Rachel Sanctuary
Rachel Sanctuary is by far the best area for getting zeny quickly. To get to this area you must complete the Rachel Sanctuary Quest. It is definetly worth it though! The monsters here have a high chanceto drop Bloody Rune (sell for 1000z to NPC) and White Mask (sell for 530z to NPC). You can also find: High Quality Sandals [1], Rings[0], Berets, Boots[1], and Shadow Walk. And on top of all that, every card you will find here you can sell for millions! And thats all on top of the amazing exp you will get.

Biolabs 03
You will need a VERY good party to fight here, but the drops are most definetly worth it! This is the best spot for making money, as long as you are not using too many potions. You can get: s.tights, OBBs, s.thief clothes, poison bottles, s.boots, s.lord's clothes, s.guards, s.mufflers, s.helms, s.full plates... and a lot of good cards.
