How can I get lots of money in the game

Mr Creosote · 11-07-2002, 02:18 PM

Within the game design, I mean without exploiting the Inn trick etc.

Fletchery should give me some money but I like to accummulate a lot to be able to bless some stuff up to a high level.

Steal the Dragon arrow back from whatshisname. Bless it once or twice or however much bless you have. Put in inventory with a bow and Fletch it til the cows come home. Sell all but 1 to the shop. Raise your Bless skill by 1 each time you level. Always keeping the most blessed one in your arrow inventory slot. Each time you add a blessing the money that you make from selling will increase exponentially. Once you get 9 blessings on it, your sale price will be comical high. I would save up about 40 or so and sell them all and make easily a million per trip to the shop. And this was without even trying hard.

Just dont forget to keep one. If you sell the last one, you're out of luck.

Most of this trick can still be found in the best tips section.

Selling arrows works with almost every kind of arrow. For instance save up to buy a +1 arrow from the armory. Then you can sell it back for an ampunt higher than you paid. This one´s Bungleau´s fav so he can probably fill out my blanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

My favorite? what? me?

Okay, so the easiest way to make money is through the ancient rattling business tactic known as arbitrage. By definition, arbitrage involves buying something at one place and selling it in another where it's more valuable. It's often used in Mundania today for currency exchange rates -- if I can buy a canadian dollar for half a US dollar, and someone else is buying them for a US dollar apiece, I buy two canadian dollars and sell them for two US dollars. Bingo! Instant profit!

You can do the same thing in the Gael Serran, except the journey is shorter, and the risk is lower. Just head to any warrior guild or bushi dojo and head to the back, to the members only section. Buy an enchanted arrow, whatever kind the keeper has available. In Valeia, they're just arrows +1; in Ishad N'ha-ha-ha, the Takekatsu arrow at the bushi guild is highly prized.

Buy as many enchanted arrows as you can, and then walk into the front of the shop where the common customers are. Step right up and sell those arrows, and you'll notice that the owner is buying for more than he was ust selling. Bingo! Instant profit!

Repeat until your gold problems are taken care of, and be sure to drop some in the bank for safekeeping. You never know when a rogue or gwyll may decide to light your purse a bit...

Best way to make quick money is to seek the help of mr.Jini!!!
If you have the magic lamp, this is what you should do:
Create a dummy char who will carry the lamp and will be only char to call the jini again and again.While the jini is talking(as per help thread), drop the lamp and click on someother char who will make the wish. Ask for the ward.
You can repeatedly ask for the ward like this.
A ward if properly identified will sell for 19000 gold!!!

I just train my ranger to the secrets of Fletchery.
Does in inventory window appear somo button when you click item like identify or invoke buttons? I know that I have to have bow and arrow in hand but does there appear button when I right-click on arrow or how does it work?

Btw. If you can't steal Dragon Arrow from that Samurai ( Torin ), just buy one arrow from him. It cost like 500 gold! Nobody of my party are that good at pickpocketing...

If your ranger is equipped with a bow and an arrow, he will make arrows whenever he's not in combat. You don't have to do anything to make it happen -- it just does. And he adds them to the stack he's equipped with.

Just beware of how many arrows have been made, because once that stack hits 50, he stops making arrows. So when you get close, split the stack and he'll keep going.

Mr Creosote · 11-08-2002, 12:33 PM

Thanks for the suggestions.

The Fletchery route is still the best method that doesnt exploit loopholes. Dont get me wrong, I am no purist and mess around zapping and hex editing the game all I want. I just wanted to see how high I could bless things using the money that I could get from the game in the way the game was designed to be played.

Olli Kalma · 11-09-2002, 07:17 AM

Thanks Bungleau!
I just get frustrated when I had Fletchery skill but didn't know how to make arrows... I didn't look on my package... and yes my ranger had done some arrows...
