Welcome to my money makeing Guide
edit: ATTENTION: usealbe until caps 90 patch get here (useable after this patch also but needs testing 4 wind3)
I made this guide so ppl that dont bott can have sos grear too and good money stash so this way i could corect some wrongs in SRO(added this coment as promised)
Well this guide is for all people that are short on gold and need to make some fast( thats 75% of ppl under lvl 40 ) Enought whit chit chat this is the idea:
Table of contents:
1.Theory
2.Ingame experiment
3.Why would i tell so good and usefull stuf????
4.Why do we need wind lvl 2?(added)
5.What about 3rd degree and other degree's?(added)
6.Some advices(added)
7. Euro items

1.Theory

blades lvl8 at NPC in jg cost 3,5k of gold and when they are destroyed whit destroyer rondo they have about 50% chance of giving 4 to 6 units of wind lvl2 which i hope cost's 2k each on all servers(it does on Athens)..if it does not then u lucky Athen's players listen up becouse u will find this very usefull .As i was saying lvl8 blade has 50% to give 4~6 wind lvl2, for example well take average of 5 so it gives ~10k of gold
in this exaple i will destroy 100 blades lvl 8 bought from npc in theory: about 50 blades should give me 5 units each so thats
50x5=250 units of wind lvl2=500k...nice right
Now lets see how much we need to spend on this:
we need 100 blades lvl8 which cost 3,5k each and we need 100 units of destroyer rondo so that:
100x3,5k=350k(for blades) & 100x400=40k(for destroyer rondo)
350k+40k=390k...oh look we have 110k of profit from those 250 units of wind lvl 2 alone..u get other elements as well and they have some price for example wind lvl1 can be selled for 500 gold each easy
In theory works fine now let see how it works in game...
2.Ingame experiment
this is where u buy destroyer rondo


theres a 100 pices i take


there is 29 blades in my inventory



ok now we do some alchemy


and we get those nice elements that cost soo much


and oops now i have no more space in my inventory need 4 spots in order to work properly
do not make this kind of mistakes they can cost...start have 8 spots for elements and4 free spots so alchemy can work now if u were dumb enought to make this mistake sell it or put it in storage


ok now we finished first round let see results:
28 blades used, 75 units gained meaning 15 blades gave 5 pices each
15 blades are a bit over 50% of 28 that was totaly used so we scored good


round two lets go same thing whit one diference i use 25 blades in this round(nned those 4 spots for first blade )

and here are results of 2nd round:

we used 25 blades adn we gained 62 units of wind lvl2 meaning 12~13 blades gave us wind which is exact 50%


3rd round (bored to death here )

and results:
we used 25blades adn gained 63 ubits same as round before this one 50%


4th and LAST round(thank god )
we are useing only 22 blades this time as that how many has left until 100 that i told ill be destroying


and here are results of 4th round:
22 blades and 59 units gained meaning we got ourselfs anotehr 55% one

TOTAL SCORE:
we used 390k in doing this and gained 259 units of wind lvl 2=518k of gold from wind 2 only let say u get 100k for ALL other elements( and u will get more)
u get 618k-390k=228k
it took me 25 min to do this and let asume ill need 15 min to sell it that 40 min in total.
I would like to see some1 (whitout silks) and under lvl 30 to make 228k of gold for 40 min
BAD SIDES ARE:before the end u start doing this a lot meaning its BOREING!!!!!!!!!!!!

3.Why would i tell so good and usefull stuf????

Im telling all this becouse i used as much as i wanted i managed to make 5mill from 500k of gold whit help of this in 4~5 days note: i did this whole day long (i know some lvl4x cant get that much) bought my sos bow pimped it to+4 and as u may noted most of my gear is sos so i realy cant ask for much more from this so i share it whit rest of smart (mostly smart and reasonable) persons that are comeing to this forum. High lvl u can use in order to save some money....nah it takes to much time and its to boreing adn too little money to save right? i know i wont do it ill just buy thats why this topic is not gonna couse crash of wind lvl 2 price and soo will help lot off ppl

ADDED: 4.Why do we need wind lvl 2?
This was good question aked by Matrixman__, so it deserves good answer and whole section just for it.
Truth is wind lvl2 is used to make almost every lvl of Str Stone icluding str stone lvl8 (lucky for us all) so thats why its always wanted and needed .
If u want to see for which tablets you need wind lvl 2 go to this link
http://sircola78.si.funpic.de/Ally/adb/tablets.php (i picked this usefull link form Borat2 tnx man )

5.What about 3rd degree and other degree's?(added)

I see this question drow lot of interests and confusion so i added this section to help them clear things up andswer is simple NO! i do not recomend destroying anything besides swords and blades lvl8 and most curtenly NOT destroying 3rd degree stuf and higher degree becouse there is no profit in it(those items just cost to much even if u would go from stall to stall looking for cheap stuf) if any1 finds out about any high degree item that does make profit (and biger profit then this) plz leave post here...other then that there is not much more to say about this subject ill repeat once again for those who read only bold text
IT IS NOT RECOMENDED to destroy 3rd or higher degree item becouse there is no profit in it...correct me if im wrong
ADDED:Also some readers gave me examples of tassets being good to destroy and they gave some prof as well so they are as well recomended to destroy from now on here is exaple comparation between blades lvl8 and tassets lvl12

tnx twarg1 for takeing time to do this for us all

6.Some advices(added)

Here are some usefull tips:
1.Invest in this as much as u can becouse the more u invest the bigger is profit here is excelent first had example of this claim

tnx kevv for shareing this whit us
2.When you are done whit makeing elements go in DW or Hotan adn spamfow few min whit msg like this"WTS ___UNITS OF WIND LVL2..2K EACH PM ME" and samewise for every element u wanna sell i can pretty much garantee that youll sell it in about 10 min max
3.I recomed at least 390k to start whit (notice that this is how much u need for test that i did) and most money i suggest....infinity (interesting info Mugen=infinity in japanese if im informed correctly )
4.This is recomended for ALL LVL PLAYERS IF they have to study or anything that will keep em "afk" they can take 20~25min before they have to go afk and do this then go stalling and afk when they return meaby they wont get exp but they sure will get money that they would make on grind (im studying for big tests so that how i originaly came to this idea needed way to make money and still be able to study)
5.didnt want to rewrite it but this is actually realy good advice if u realy cant sell other elements buy tabs which need em (int or str lvl 2~3 or some wep tabs) and try selling those i still didnt try it but it sounds as good idea to me
6.if you are CHINESE char builder this is something u might find usefull
7.cant think of it right now (will update if something comes up)

7. Euro Items
Ok about Euros well they are pretty much same story i tryed dagers and they worked fine for me so im gonna recomend them

this is very good walktrough 4 people who are iterested in useing euro items to do this way of money makeing (and i thankWhyKillME 4 takeing time and shareing this whit all of SRO players)



If u dont know what are prices of elements here are few usefull links to help u get informed

ALL READERS OF THIS GUIDE PLZ LEAVE HERE PRICES OF ELEMENTS LVL1 & LVL2 ON YOUR SERVERS (PRICES FOR ALL ELEMENTS). I WILL MAKE TABLE WHIT PRICES OF ELEMENTS ON ALL SERVERS TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER GUIDE IF I GET ENOUGHT INFO FROM YOU GUYS
note: i moved this from a post of mine becouse i think here will be seen by people that dont read all posted replyes that go after this guide

Hope this was usefull to u all and if u have any coments or questions plz leave them as i would like to read some and reply

P.S. Ppl that support paint were right PAINT RULEZZZZZ

Last edit: still dont have time to resize pictures IF PICS ARE PROB LEAVE COMENT HERE PLZ becouse its realy at least 1~2h work adn im kinda busy right now so if they are not prob i would like to leave em as they are added one advice and coment on the topas promised

wow pretty useful., u can do this for any lvl

i dont understand the obsession with wind2, now wind4, theres a lot of money in wind4 farming

i heard of someone who used a mouse macro program to purchase 10 glavies at a time and then destroy then, he would leave it doing this all night, come back to 10k+ wind 2 or 4...thats 20mil for being afk all night

not bad at all dude.. only if it wasnt so boring

other than that nicely made guide!

By level 30 on Xian, back when there were NO gold bots.. only way to make money was trading and grinding ect..

By level 30 I had 4mil, whih believe it or not was a lot o_o

Step 1:
grind
Step 2:
Npc things you can't sell in a stall
Step 3:
Put half of the money in your inv into storage and DO NOT TOUCH IT.

Repeat.



But then again.. there was no alchemy other than elixirs and lucky powder back then so do what you want

tnx
yes on any lvl but u wont profit from it this idea of mine works becouse blades are so cheap and u can profit from it i do not recomend buying 4th and > degree from npc u destroy it ( belive me i tested taht as well) but i do recomend destroying some drops u get later it IS usefull..some times very

eh i made 5 mill in 5 days how much time did it took u to get to lvl 30 ?
ty and im sry i tryed my best but this guide is just not supose to be fun and btw. there were about 28 pic in the begining i shortend it to this(wasnt easy )

hey i heard that the lvl 8 armor wrist also gave wind 2

have you tried it using the armor wrist instead?

eh, maybe if you need money, but i perfer to be powerful than rich

yes and they indead do give 2~3 wind lvl 2 (more often 2) but at much lower sucsess rate down to 30% tnx for suggestion thou tryed chest parts and every other part (if u realy wanna know best after blades are swords lvl 8 then protector female legs lvl12 lol)

ah so i guess you tested every possiblity there is for this

once again good job and thanks

im afraid i did tasted every single one and tnx i did my best
eh shadow this is first post of yours that i read and dont see logic in it heres mine:
being rich being able to buy good wep and gear being powerfull
correct me if im wrong thou

Psh.
my first char was a ss nuker, and I farmed a little bit before farming guides were out lol.. anyway.. three weeks?

Hey now.. that was back when sro had been open for like 4 months at most and nobody was pro yet.

..that, and I had no idea where to find earth ghosts so it was a little delayed.
And even if something was white, it was sold from your stall so money making was easy.

I do this too,but with a different item which works a little better

The price of wind2 is going to plummet. =(

this aint runescape, U can pull shit like that lol. But yeah I just ran a calculation today and if U do that with 4D spears from the NPC, it's impossible to make a profit. If you try very hard you can break even but it's dicks like you that drove the price of wind 2 through the roof. That's okay though cuz I undercut all those NPC item whores at 1.75k each and still turn a huuuuuuge profit using my method. And before anyone says I dunno what I'm talking about, I've made a little over 250 million total cuz all I do all day every day is sell elements. I know how to make em the cheapest way and get the biggest profit. I'm the Walmart with a McDonalds inside of it of element sales lol.

Nice guide dude ^^ wish i knew about it on my first char lol.

@Desolator: u really arnt the sharpest tool in the shed are yah.
Price = Demand
Low supply = High Demand = High Price
High Supply = Low Demand = Low Price
How is pumping more wind 2 into the economy increasing the prices.
Please think befor you post ^_^

high lvl players need wind 2 which drives up the price cuz they have more money. But also, they have to charge 2k each to make a profit. Any less and they risk breaking even. So they all charged 2k each until people just gave up and paid that much. You know like water, water, everywhere and not a drop to drink cuz it's too damn expensive but with wind 2 lol. I'd post my prices that I've had for elements for the last 2 months but you'd all get pissed at how low it is. I have ppl leaving nasty notes in my stall all the time lol.

i did this and you also get a lot of fire 2 in the process so this is a very good way to get gold

How much do fire 2s sell for?

Thanks so much man, I'm farming right now but with shit set.

Now I can buy a nice set

plz tell us all which one works better (personaly im interested which one i did so badly becouse i tryed all and blade got on the top of all@desolator144u2 plz read befrore makeing a reply
Tnx for support
@CodeZero u get as much as wind lvl2( sometimes more) and u sell it for 250~200gold each thats 200x250=50k of easy money
call it even i loved your guide
EDIT: any question u might have or coment post here i was offline(chatching some ZZzzzZZZ) finished writing that guide very late so needed some sleep but im back now and weekend trafic as well so im all yours lol
P.S. i realy hope Aaron777 reply will be worth looking into

w0w i always buy wind2!!!

i can save gold for not buying to the player

Awesome guide man, I tried something similar to this with 4th degree armor and it didn't work to well

Thanks for taking the time to share your way of making money.

Ok heres one that wants to make wind lvl2 to save money( nothing personal m8 ) can u do me BIG favore PLZZZZZZZZZZZ post here how did your saveing money went and did u in the end bought it just from some guy(which i belive will be outcome) but plz correct me if i am wrong it will be good for guide if u would post reply on this question of mine so plz do that if possible
tnx tnx for proveing this point as well
EDIT: im editing my posts in order not to double post i did it once before in this topic but i was practicly sleeping on keyboard thay wont happen again

3rd degree armor chest gives you 5-7 wind 2 50% of the time also. Just to let you know.

this is an awesome guide, but I guess you are lazy, being tired after the fourth time =P

but how much it costs? 3rd degre armor chest. I bet in Posiedon this isnt Working

mugen if you get on.. check your pm i made you a sig on sig-size from that pic

Only thing that sucks about this is selling elements lol.

I hate selling elements I never have any luck and I charge stuff for the lowest to middle price.
Bleh...
