Best methods for farming/making gold in 2017?
I'm wondering what people do for gold basically. Because these days, gold is just hard to come by.
My daily routine includes(with VIP, Luck item):
Hero Succubus
Muir
Some raiding
After those I would usually farm specific scrolls(Fast, Enthu), Season 3 maps. I would farm these with friends for HOURS usually. When Royal Army raids are being mega'd, I would join those also. I basically mix these up so it won't get boring but I mainly do scroll farming because season 3 can get irritating. I probably went through atleast 50 runs of season 3 at one point before my party of 3-4 got our first orange drop.
*****Main point is that I wanna add even more variation to what I already do so I'm interested in what people are doing for gold these days.*****
I'm in WEST server if that even matters. Also I apologize if there are any similar threads that were made.

S3 dungeons for oj is worthless as well, thanks to the NA seal shop, now chance for a tradeable oj shard is very low, most of the time you have to boom something, or open rng boxes.
I mostly come back to s2 dungeons for es at the moment, along with some s3 dailys for materials, and doing raids.
Orb farming in the first room of Twilight Desert is easy enough.
I don't actively farm for stuff though, just do a bit here and there whenever it's convenient for me. Maybe I've been spoiled after getting lucky but it's not worth it to me to spam s3 dungeons over and over for 5 or 6 Heavenly/Godly mats per run.
It's go big or go home for me, as the only thing I "farm" is Ship Graveyard. Thunder Rings, The Deads, and ODM/CMAs are amazing to drop.
Mmm tbh the main point of me doing royal army was so I didn't get too bored but I kinda agree on what you're saying. They really should increase the drop rate for those bottles. Maybe not 100% guaranteed bottle for everyone but maybe have ATLEAST 1 guaranteed to drop for someone in the raid unless this is what you meant. Idk.
Yeah at this point I agree that S3 maps are pretty pointless for orange drops. I mainly do these just for the materials while orange drops are just a bonus drop to me.
For S2 do you mean like SG for The Dead ES or Misty/Moonlight for Subdued? And how worth it is it to do those maps atm? I haven't done them in a while cause I always thought they took too long for the amount of cores that I get.
Godly iron ore farming can be decent sometimes until someone lists a wall of them (a bunch of stacks at a time on the market). Everyone then has to undercut him because hes putting up more than whats going to sell, he relists the 8-9 stacks that didnt sell the next day at a lower price and this keeps going on till the price bottoms out. Once the price climbs back over time this whole process repeats.
If you can't afford multiple accounts for s2, s3 is more viable. Two moons is fine as well. However you have to farm alot for selling those in stacks, like Ikarsu said. Can't expect big income in few runs because of rng like s2.
But no one seems to be able to explain where the gold itself is coming from.
I think he's saying that in order to sell something you've farmed, you need someone to buy it. In order for someone to buy it, they need gold. How did they get their gold? By farming something that someone else bought? Where did that third person get their gold?
An interesting question. Part of the answer is definitely "gold sellers". But it doesn't really matter; gold doesn't grow on trees, and only a very small amount is generated from "thin air" in the form of battle/story rewards/vendors. We're far past the point in Vindictus that our crazy inflation can disappear.
Yes I understand this is not gold being generated its gold being depleted from the game.
I guess what I'm saying is to make good money you need to find out what sells for YOU and keep it to yourself.
Super frustrated about it, i miss when i was able to spam bce and get a ton of oranges but ever since they changed it it's become totally pointless to run, especially now with prices being so low. Another reason why its so hard to make money, everythings dropped in price.
"Another reason why its so hard to make money, everythings dropped in price."
but you can buy more with the gold you have, so it evens out unless you hoard gold just so you can see a big number
There is a way to generate gold in Deep corruption by kicking your way to victory (newest KR gold generating method) with a bow kai or longsword fiona.
10 runs will gross you 993,000 gold, and your net is the total repair cost in those 10 runs.
Be aware that it takes 11 runs to break a 100/100 dura gear, so keep that in mind. Kick killing 7 enemies there bags you a whopping 34,000 gold, which is in fact, hilarious.
You also get a bit more in group runs as opposed to a solo run, which eventually caps at 109,000 gold per run so long as the party doesn't break apart for whatever reason.
I've done extensive testing with Blackstoryz, and doing 7 runs will reach the net gold cap, and the other runs throughout remain stagnant.
Doing 22 runs with this gold cap, at 2 repair sessions, will gross you a whopping 2,398,000 gold. Your net is calculated as the total repair costs of the 22 runs done in Deep corruption. This is only the gold generation alone as Mad Morbus can also drop orange stable shards, and the usual s3 mats like all other s3 regular bosses drop.
This is the most consistent way for players to generate gold in the game now without having to worry about repair costs getting in the way of profiting gold.
