How people can make gold in ROM

Well the titles says it pretty much, since some people think that gold is hard to obtain in this game, which is not in my opinion. Here's a few of mine :

Crafting stuff and selling it and also wear it
Selling stats
Selling bag drops
Make dirty tier stones T6 to T10 and sell them
Do your dailies everyday for P-tokens
Do minigames everyday for P-shells, pull some stats nd sell them for gold
Pet Crafting, use the mats to craft or sell for good gold
Farm instances for mememto's, pick up the drops on everything and sell it
Farm a zone to get monster cards and sell them
Farm an area of mobs with fast respawn rate and sell the drops, in a few zones the mobs respawn within 8 seconds, fast farm and gold
Running instances where setskills are available and sell them

Last resort or good for new players to start up playing
Selling diamonds

Yes this may require time for some but then becomes more cheaper to play, i never believed in F2P.

People can add to this since i probably forgot a few, tyvm

you forgot the time -> gold conversions and then the gold -> dia conversions to get time -> dia conversions.

if the time -> dia conversion is too low, it's not a viable way to be f2p.


i can argue that farming KS makes you gold as well, but the time -> gold ratio is too low to be of any use on the majority of servers.

As Cike mentioned, the biggest element not on your list is the time conversion factor. I'd also add the applied definition of "gold is hard to obtain". Everything a player does in game is a competition for their time and has an opportunity cost i.e. if you run siege then that's 1 hour you are not able to farm for gold. Most players can only devote so much time to the game and thus it becomes more difficult for those players, at least from their perspective, to make gold in game.

Well my post doesn't take time into a factor, if you don't want to put the time into playing the game, why are you here?? Either spend time or buy diamonds, it is pretty simple.

But my thread is how to make gold in the game and how easy you can do it.

For me siege is just not worth the time doing, nothing gained from it and people are just stressed out after it anyways. We have guildies that show up only for siege, play one hour a day and never ran an instance except hos/zs/dl. I couldn't care less about them because they do not participate in guild or the game. Siege is just that 1 hour wasted a day.

We are all entitled to our opinions of course. I actually quite agree with you on siege but that's really another topic.

That said, my opinion does differ on time as a factor. I would argue that you can't really have a complete list without it. It's easy to be cavalier and say either invest time or money or leave - a popular forum mantra that has never been really clever or well thought out. The thing is that many players can not afford either and I for one really don't expect them to. Investing more money and/or time should be the exception not the rule. At the end of the day, this is a game we are all discussing, not our work or our RL and should be an available escape for more than just a few to enjoy.

In-game economies depend on a vibrant player base, which is probably hurting on some servers. Maybe all US servers depending on how you view it.

As a side note, I wonder which guilds are going to pick up the players which just got dissed by their own guild leader. :)

Was wondering the same thing.

If you're gonna diss your own guild members and "couldn't care less about them" them as the guild leader, why even keep them in the guild?

Not only that, but to openly slam your own guild members is kind of unprofessional as a guild leader, and sets an overall bad rep for Disturbed

Maybe there's a complex there about needing to keep counts high, both with his post count and guild count.

I do not have to edit anything, my guildies know where i stand on siege and people showing up only an hour a day for siege and disappearing till the next siege. I stand by what i wrote, they know it and they don't like it, they are free to leave. For me and a lot in Disturbed, siege is an hour waisted on the game.

Unprofessional as guild leader, LOL, others have done far worst, even being coniving and plotting against their own guildies, i don't . I will call them out, tell them what i believe, tell them how i feel, they will do the same thing and we discuss it as adults. I don't hide and try to please everyone and say all his fine and ok, we have issues in Disturbed , we discuss them and try to resolve them. We have people who go to siege frequently and others that do runs.

That is why having mature players in our guild, permits us to have discussions, not always agreeing but we see each others point of vue and adjust. it's about concessions, adjustments and mainly discussions that you can get your guild going or else it dies and disappears ;-(

Tuulikki, i get your point, but so many cry how stuff is expensive, that they deserve more for doing less etc, in real life it doesn't work, so how can it work in a videogame? We have a lot of retired people, it gives them a chance to change their minds, not feel lonely etc and have a bit of fun. Yes those people farm a lot, gather a lot, a few of them are a few XP points from next level lol. Those people do a lot for themselves, by themselves, why should they get less than the people who play 1 hour a day? that wouldn't be fair to them.

I was raised that the more you do, the more you get, it's how life is and works, unless you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth. ;-(

Rom isn't free for gameforge to make if you don't spend money you arn't
useful to them i won't say free to play have no place because your the
ones that buy our dia's that let us be lazy but to keep rom going they
need $$. Think of it this way if you owned a company your main goal is
to make money right yes it is RoM is the product they sell its free to
play to draw you in and the item shop is to make you spend money. Its
supposed to be time consuming for free to play to tempt them to buy
dia's from them. You wouldn't gain anything from giving your product
away for free you'd go out of business fast.

In my eyes free to
play is only good if they are geared and if they buy my dia's or if
they're fun to talk to, but in GF's eyes your useless and in the way.
Would you try and do something that could put you out of buisness and in
debt if you were a company just because it would make lazy people lives
easier and faster. Unless your a dodo bird then i would hope the answer
would be no.

As funny as it is seeing all the whiners qq about
this and that you have no point for gf to make it easier on you. Things
i've noticed people that are free to play are the people that irritate
me more than the ones that don't cuz the pay to play or pay to win are
generally more mature............

Well everyone need to READ this theads title,this is about ways to make gold NOT FTP VS PTP!
All of you derailing this with a bunch of flaming and whining need to get a grip on yourselves.
I would like to say that as a long time member of Disturbed Zids comments do not hurt my feelings,we do sw sometimes and we do runs sometimes.we do not require any member of our guild to do either if they dont want too.
This is after all a game meant for enjoyment so quit bickering and acting like children.
Anyone that knows me will also know idgac who you are or who you think you are.i talk to everyone the same way.
Now on topic.
My opinion on makeing gold is probly high end foods and hero pots.i see these items selling well on my server. :cookie:

I think cooking can prolly be the easiest in terms of lazy people its not a whole lot for mems time wise and then theres guild training grounds for mats and if you can make at least 5 toons able to do it youll have a good lot of honor points a day for getting matts you can farm bag stats from an easy zone and you'll be fine put it on some od quest gear

alchemy

hands down the easiest way to make money.

you can start selling endgame pots at lvl 17, which, even without festival, is only a couple million worth of mats to lvl.

just make sure you don't flood the market, and you can keep the price up to about a 10:1 profit ratio.

Alchemy is good as well but id say cooking is worth more yea takes longer to lvl it up but you can sell things for higher and more gold and plus you can get alchemy on that same toon cuz only 60 is worth anything atm

What stuff and at what level?

My wife has a tailor who can craft up to level 41 gear. She posted stuff along the level spectrum in the AH, and NOTHING sold. I've got a blacksmith, a carpenter, and an alchemist, and it is rare for anything they make to sell. (None of them are up to level 41 in crafting, but they are far along.)

even on reni(i checked), pots sell for about the same as equivalent food.

except pots are much, much easier to make, and use less expensive materials...

the total profit ratio is higher with alchemy, which, if you are interested in making gold, is the only thing you should be considering.


other ways to make gold is selling crafting runes on AH from random mobs you encounter via questing, etc.

Yes alchemy and cooking are both viable, as for the other crafts, until you hit level 80 in them and make the items from 80/85/87, you will then be doing good gold. Crafted gear especially belts/pants and gloves go for high gold especially OD. But it takes dedication to get from 75 to 80+.

To anyone crafting, make sure to take advantage of the crafting festival to get your craft to 75 in a day or 2, after that it will be more tedious but worth it in the long run.

BTW KS is good for low level toons, for level 75+ Sarlo is the place to farm mobs for items and gold. So much easier and faster to do, i can make millions in farming there in no time, hint : pet perfume for the win!!! ;-)

BTW the price for pots on Reni is not the real price sold, Hero potions go for around 275K to 300K etc as others do. People will advertise in world at much lower price for food and potions.
