Hi friends,


I am currently doing looting to get money to myself but I wonder there must be a better way to earn money fast in this game.

I dont wanna spend my 10 hours to get a CA and sell it on forums for 5 mil. Credit sellers are willing to sell me that amount of credits for as low as 10 bux!!! Whats the deal with this? How can they sell their 10 hours for as low as 10 bux.


There really must bea way to earn 4-5 mil per hour for a profittable credit seller....


p.s. I am neither a credit seller nor willing to be. Thought of buying my all day grind for 10 bux just makes me sick.

crafters can make 10-20 million a day, with factories doing most of the work while they are offline. only a small portion of which goes back to buying the resources required

exactly. And I haven't had to buysubstantial amounts of resources since the CU hit, though I do harvest for myself And although I don't quite meet up to the 10-20 / day mark ... 5/day isn't unheard of, and can usually pull 20 in, in a week ... for a lowly BE, not so bad


And at this point, I've only been playing enough to keep the business going which is about 20-30 mins/ day ....


This being said, my business at this point has been up and going for almost 2 years now

They are all rifleman carbineers who go around blowing up the biggest paying lair they find and leaving all the creatures. so one lair for 8 people will be roughly 2-3 mins... and 9-10k per person... u got urself 80k from one lair.

Yeah, also many of them in my city look like they are automated... they play follow the leader. 1 guy with 7 bots following along to blow a lair in just a few seconds. We just use the /cityban and they stop kiting things into my city.

to answer the question simply, they farm credits.


How they make money is simply too... 8 toons controlled by 1 guy, that guy is getting paid about $0.30US per hour, get 2 missions for 10k each they go kill the lair, that is 10k per guy, 80k total, do that 16 times that is 1.28 million this takes you about an hour... maybe.... if you do this 8 times you get 10 million credits... if you can sell this for $10... it only cost you $2.40 ... that is $7.60.... you get 100 guys to do this for you and that is $760 a day.

to make money easy in this game you need to be a crafter. I have a alt crafter and i can make 50mil a day if i try. There would be some days when i needed credits i would clear over 60mil easy off maybe 2 hours of work.

60 million credits of off 2 hours work... I think I am gonna call BS here... Even a doc selling buffs at the hieght of their popularity couldnt come close to that... even when I was stealing from pople during the hieght of grenades I didnt come close to that... maybe 5 million a day at most... Not that I didnt ahve the nades stocked and ready to go, there jsut wasn't enough market.


Even if I made 24 uber elite weapons... each one takes about 5 minutes to make... not counting facatory times and gathering resource times and I was selling them for 2.5 million each ... well it would take me 2 huors to make the weapons adn then a month to sell them... because there probably arent 24 guys on my server willing to spend 2.5 million on a gun, at any one time, because most of them already have a good gun.


If by 2 hours of work you mean spending 2 hours to laod up your 20 factories to do runs of grendades and tehn watch them sell over the next 2 weeks then yes it si possible to make 60 million off of 2 hours of work... it will just take much longer than 2 hours to see the rewards.

I call bs also. I'm so tired of these guys that buy credits off ebay then spout their garbage about how much they made killing dwarf Nunas on Tat. Comon....some of uswere actually crafter pre-cu and post-cu. I agree that your average of 5mill AT THE MOST, AT A PEAK season was probably the most a day a person would make. And 60 mil in about two -4 weeks for a good WS or AS is correct.

Actually I have considered buying some credits off the internet. But paying 400$ for credits for a game that I payed 29$ for just doesnt seem economical.
