well... technically...
Solo group money runs the economy system (ran actually lol)
Thus... the money u got for selling lewt most likely came from solo missions... thus... technically you made almost all your money from solo group missions

I've been swordsman for a long time and personally I never made any money from solo group missions. I am still very well off and all of my money came from loot.
Aakuan Champ missions on talus are always good, and now that the payout doesn't matter, the loot is where it's at for swordsmen. In a good buff session I usually loot 2-3 Rings and maybe 2 Sellable AAs. In3hours ondaylast week I got a Rifle Speed +6 AA (2mil) and 3 Rings (600k each). So that's 3.8mil from one buff session. Far more than I ever made doing solo groups.
Ok, i tried goin to talus and hunting the Aakuans, but iv done that 2 days now and i havent got any good rings. i got two signets and a gold band, this was when i was using my fencer skills 0202. But today i was hunting this spawn of mokks i found and in about 10min i got 2 crystals, two polearms one poison and one disease and later another poison. Does the skill that you fight with have any effect on the loot? should i start using TKM on the Aakauns? and also, is there anything that can be looted from the force crystal hunters? sorry about all the questions

Okay, now I am curious, I have looted some rings with gems in them, are they worth anything? I have also looted rings that add plus 5 to things like ranged defense, etc - are they worth anything... right now they are taking up space in my house... would be nice to know what they are worth...
Thanks
MS/TKM/ and a bunch of other things...

OK, here's the way I do it. First you need a solo group of at least 5 or 6 people to get the Aakuan Champion missions. You can do Aakuan Steward missions without being grouped but in my experience they don't drop much good stuff. Only the Champions and Defenders (Or warders but they are at the Aakuan Cave POI or random spawn) drop good stuff with any kind of regularity. Your looking for Aakuan Rings they have a +5 Ranged Defense Mod on them and are generally worth 500-700k roughly, check your trade board for exact prices. You can also loot Armor Attachments withup to +6 mods, and I have also looted a couple moded pieces of clothing one with Weapon Experimentation so that can be worth something too.
When taking missions for loot whether it be Jantas, Aakuans, or something else the best way to do it is get 2 missions close to each other 200-300m preferably. Go to the first camp kill all of the NPCs there but don't kill the camp. Go to the second camp and kill all the NPCs there, then head back to the first and the NPCs will be back if you moved far enough away from the camp. If they aren't back then you didn't go far enough or weren't away long engouh, clear out 500m or so and go back. There are a total of 3 spawns per camp so on your third time visiting each that'll be the last spawn so go ahead and kill the camp the third time. This way you can get 30 NPCs out of 2 missions rather than only 10 per 2 missions, and it's much faster because you don't have to spend as much time making the long trips between the missions and the terminals. I would also suggest that you take the missions from a player city because the travel distances always seem to be less between missions and terms.
As for FS NPCs on Dant. They can drop some good stuff, but can be pretty tough. If your after loot I would suggest Nightsisters on Dath before I would suggest killing these.
Also if your looking for cash, have a look on your servers trade forum and find out what the "Hot" itmes are right now that people are paying big for. As a swordsman you can go out and kill damn near anything you want so, go get some of what everyone wants and auction it off. There are lots of things that are always popular like damage crystals from NS, I can always get at least 100k+ for each, or Premium crystals for elders can easily go for a few mil. Theres lots out there so have a look and pick whatever suits your skills best. Hope this helps.
lol oh and does anyone know how much a looted polearm with a good dot on it would go for? i can tell you the stats if you need to know.Juke Spoko
