I've been rvr'ing with my warrior for quite some time, got a nice template sorted spent alot of money on it.
While rvr'ing my money has been going down slowly but surely, endu/heal barrels, recharging items, respec stones (mainly RA) etc.
I'm just wondering how you all keep your funds up as i have nearly run out, not really a fan of PvE, i used to enjoy going to DF and farm the seals but they changed it making it alot harder.
Do scrolls still sell ? Dont tell me to go to Champ dungeon and farm, gets boring fast and i only make about 500g.

Aye it's quite hard to earn money, especially if you don't have a BB. I try make most of mine in rvr, but the same thing, arti repairs,using charges, it all stacks up and ya slowly lose money.:(

Sorry, but PvE is the way to make money, its also easier to make cash with either a decent trade like ACing, or having a decent PvE guild group to farm with. Some of SH make 1-2p+ an hour in DF or the halls, or farm ML1.1, 9 or 7 for drops and scrolls. Scrolls aint worth much these days with the odd exception, but its still a very competative market.

Simple rule is, solo farming isnt as good as social farming, and PvE is still and always will be the way to generate cash.

I will say I think repair prices and the rates items decay is abismal, and seriously needs fixing. IMO no items should degrade in RvR, and should not degrade anywhere near the speed they do now.

should fine be able to do "solo" farm still imo. Theres Sm with ml9 focus, can do alot of encounters for diffrent drops, and these some very nice jewlery dropping in catacombs that can be focused. And ofc theres still the option to earn money selling/buying in housing, did that alot in alb. Bought cheap nice rogs/scrolls and sold it on, but guess you can only do it with rogs now a days.

well just becous its his warrior he rvr on dosnt mean he cant have another char. Else it hardly takes time to level a sm, and give it some random rogs from housing to call it a focus bot, atleast it didnt for me :)

get a 1 or 2 buddies and sort out a sm (dont need ml9 but is nice) and a bb + speed char to get around faster (aug healer can do).
do encounter's such as SoM, malice, foppish sleeves (think u need a skald speed 4 this tho dunno if u can do it on aug speed), terkari, band of stars, croc dagger(while ur there, and it can drop some nice rog's), gov, brag's bow(take's ages tho), zahur, 2.10, 1.1, 1.9, go do some encounter's in ml9 etc, some ml5 step's drop some rather nice drop's that might be worth some.

if u cba with getting a few ppl togther with farming, just join dragon raid's + DS run's and any epic mob slaugther sutch as levi / kraken, wont set u back that much time and u will get a steady flow of cash

how the hell do U manage to loose money while SOLO RvR ???

I earn upto 1p a day on rvr depending on how much I'm on and I spend nowhere near that amount on barrels, recharge and repair on one day.

Actually I can have upto 10p a month profit from RvR alone from a single toon.

U earn far less from fg RvR ofc. :drink:

Dragon raids are the most casual player friendly IMO.

In the patch notes, we mistakenly placed into only the Albion item notes a note stating that Artifact repair costs have been reduced by 50%. This should have been placed in the general notes section for Trials of Atlantis, as it applies to all artifacts in the game, for all three realms. The new note reads:

- The repair costs of all Artifacts in all three realms have been reduced by 50%.

Well no it's not ;)

As solo ppl vs zerg U earn loads of cash.

U just need to do half damage to get the 17 gold for em.

In a zerg I can ae spear the fecks and get 17 g from half of them.

So when I solo and get solo kill's I earn far less then when there is iRvR and U zerg kills.


U can easyli get full cash for a kill and only like 400-500 rp

So say it's 500 rp a piece thats 17p fort 500k rp. Take my last week rp and add it up U will see I'm not way of.

Forgot the warrior part tho ;( not like this is gonna happen with a war.

But hey brad I really don't care if U believe me or not as I can see U don't but U never tried it I did so :fluffle:

Aurulite is a great source of money, as is the Co5 dungeon that you hate :p

Aurulite sells for 1g a piece day in day out. With a buffbot you can chew through the mobs with a 50 warrior. If you have some mates that want a bit of xp drag them along. The level of the dungeon goes up slightly but so does the aurulite dropped.

2x Warrior + BB + Leecher = 2.5k / hour. Tho thats due to the speed of 2 warriors pulling 10-15 mobs and shield swiping them down and the fact that there were 4 ppl in the dungeon upping auru drops. Solo you'd probably be able to get near 1plat / hour including cash drops.

Alternatively farm in Volc for a few hours. Scrolls are still viable. Scalars book ~4p, Cheapest SOM is over 3p and Malice ~4p too. Battler probably not worth more than ~2p but if you roam from Skopos bridge (near SOM) over to the Taur Villiage and to Malice bridge with more Skopos on you can do quite well.

Stick some ROGs on don't PVE in your arti's else you'll make very little cash after arti repair!
