For the Money Grubbing MoFos
#1
Ok, for those of you who wish to profit a lot via the release of pirates, how about this, i thought of it the other day. Or rather, i came to the realization that someone else's plan could be better the other day.

Someone suggested on SW i believe, that you could make killing by just leveling mule beginners to level 29 and when pirates come out, advance and do in job scroll quests for them. The scrolls will be in high demand, and will sell for quite a bit regardless of server.

This is what popped into my head. A friend of mine is going to level his pirate on Demethos(or w/e its called) and then server Xfer after 3 weeks of 2x is up back to khaini. IF you know someone like this, and you trust them, then you can make money.

Getting to level 30 on a new server with 2x shouldnt take more then 3 hours, even if you cant be funded. There are plenty of scroll quests for in job scrolls. Just level pirate to 30, do quests and get scrolls for whichever you think is worth more, repeat. If you do this often, just have someone who is Server Xferring back to your server carry them for you, if you trust them. Now you have a buttload of pirate equip scrolls.

(also, this is not an attempt to tell how to take advantage of people, if people making pirates know whats good for them, they will realize that while those who do this will make a LOT of money, it should lower the costs of the scrolls by allowing more to be in server)

(also, seems like if you cant get the scrolls server xferred, you might be able to make enough through MTS with the scrolls after it opens, or use that to xfer the scrolls back.

Not worth it... Even assuming it's 20m a scroll that's definitely not worth 3 hours.

Good idea though.

Agreed, it took me a whole day during Yellonde's event just to get to level 23...on a mage.

Not to mention most of the better scroll quests are 35-40, what with the guaranteed 60% glove attack at 36, the second weapon scroll quest in Ludi at 35 as well as the glove attack scroll quest at 40 right after, and there's probably a lot more that I'm forgetting...

you don't even know if the new server will get 2x if it even opens at all

the only servers before yellonde that got 2x at the realease were I think marida, scania, and bera

not here apparently lol

i'm sure it takes longer than 3 hours to get from 0-30. it took me like 7 hours to go from 18-30 training with normal rates, and that was with a magician

No, my point was that Nexon has already announced a new world is coming and that it will have 2x for 3 weeks to start off with.

Meh, was worth a shot. And would be possible in that time if nexon allowed the meso bags in the server when it opened, which i doubt they would. 500 NX to get 1mil in new server where most expensive thing you probably have to worry about comes from NPCs?

I'm pretty sure that if meso bags were still in the cash shop, a bunch of people would do that. It's like how many Yellondians mass-gached and NPC'd anything with NPC value at the beginning of server release.

Yeah i know, but if your goal is to make money on parent server, then my idea isnt that bad, provided you actually have money for pots, and can grind well. If the meso bags were available upon release(which i doubt, like i said) then paying 500NX to get 1 mil is pretty cheap compared to what the scrolls would sell for at first, right? And 1 mil should be more then enough pot money to get to 30 or 35 or so. IDK all the quests, but the glove attacks are really worth it, imo. Especially if its another 5-10 levels.

Lol funded on a new server? Even with meso bags that will only buy you pots and 100% scrolls. Regardless, 3 hours and super funded on ANY server is out of the question unless youre leeching or something.

Don't be deporting our scrolls either way! Did it occur to you that Demethos might need them?!

spending that 3 hours gathering ETC items would be better profit than 1 scroll.

The crazy fp person on Kradia who made level 30 in a day with like 7 x2 cards didn't do it in 3 hrs. With x4, you can't do it in 3 hrs still. The average "competetive" person reaches level 30 in 2~3 days unfunded and most of that is smug kpq and such.

that's not true

I got from lvl 1-30 in a total of 12 hours on 1x exp. Levels 1-8 on maple island, 8-30 grinding. I didn't do ANY pq until after I got to 2nd job. Needless to say I got very lucky with drops.

^Average competetive person

And these are beginners. Can you get a beginner, which is a much weaker class, no skills, able to get it to 30 in a day, which is x2 the amount of the time you did, and you were on a mage, one of the fastest classes through 1st job.

It's not worth it.

What? I was saying when the new patch is released, which is when the new server is released, level some pirates up to 30 to do Scroll quests, or whatever level you think would be ok stopping point for early scroll quests. I dont know where you got this beginner idea from.

Also, @ Coylo, i wouldnt be deporting your scrolls, since anyone who did this would be doing it specifically to ship scrolls to parent server, meaning if they didnt want to do this, those scrolls wouldnt have existed.

Also, 3 hours might not be really feasable, you are right, that was an estimate. 4 hours, if meso bags are available and you feel like spending 500nx on pot money, maybe.

Rusty, I cant imagine EQ items inflating to more then 5k each. And since i can imagine the knuckle scrolls being worth 30mil+ each, if i got one of those in 3 hours, then you would need to get 6000 EQ items in that time.

And if you do the beginner pirate quests, if they anything like beginner mage quests, along with a few maple island quests, you wont really need extra potions till around 15. And then if you were looting, you should have at least some money to buy potions.

And average competetive person? You might have different definitions of how capable an "average" person is. The only real problem getting to 30 in 3-4 hours, is potion money. Most people on a new server with 2x can hit 30 in a day easy, if they actually try.

Anyways, it was an idea, just throwing it out there, use it if you feel like it, dont if you dont want to. Im done with it.

Only an idiot will buy a knuckle/gun scroll for 30m+ especially if it's 60%. Claw is the most expensive one and it's 30% counterpart barely hits 30m in bello.

You must be one dumbass with alot of time on your hands. It doesn't take 2 hours to get to lvl 30 unfunded, even with 2x.

This plan wouldn't even get you alot of mesos. It sounds like a big waste of time.

People planning to sell scrolls high when pirates come out are also dumb.

They will set high, and then they will lower. People won't be able to afford them.

Knuckle/Gun Scrolls will be around the same price as Claw scrolls, and Claw scrolls will lower a bit.

They will get stuck at a really high price though still. Like 20m per 30% is my guess.

But rich people in game can afford it.
