I’m sorry but for someone who has been playing this for “13 years” and you only made 150 fg and state this is a “good month” you must be doing something seriously wrong!!!!!!

I checked my gold log from when I first started: 1st month I made <20 fg since I just started but 2nd month I was at 250 and 3rd month I was already at 500. If you want I can pm my gold logs or post them here!

Yes the odds of finding 1 item worth 500 fg or more are slim, but finding items worth 50 fg or less you can find easily and trust me it adds up quickly!

it's only half the month passed, and if he's playing groups and not selling whites I don't think he's doing anything wrong, I don't sell whites either I even bought some occasionally. Sure if you sell everything you make more but it's more fun to increase your chances of finding items yourself and playing than browsing the trade forum.

e: I've started mid december and my notable finds are: lvl45 175ee sword lvl 35 146ee polearm lvl 25 robe and wild both 36 dex

@cartrack

Look bud, I'm not saying you can't make more than 500 a month. I'm simply saying that if you are a new player and not investing a lot into the game, the climbs are slow. In this scenario, you are selling mostly mutes, which equates to a few hundred, ill even give you 400. If you are soloing with investing minimal amount of gear, you're probably mq'ing about 4-6x per month. You'll find a few 50ish items, maybe 2 or 3, but not much more. So let's say you're at 600 in profit. Now, you still have the option of selling all the "white" items you find. So let's say that somehow gets you to 1k. Ok, you're right, if you literally sell every item you find, have good luck in finding high lvl whites to sell, and good luck in finding those 20 fg - 50 fg items, then yes, 1k a month is do-able.

Again, I dont play this way. I literally told you what i've done so far this month. I'm sure i'll sell a few items and buy a few more, but the way i play is much more similar to a new player than most people.

Edit - I also do not sell whites and dont take the time to buy/resell for profit, and I'm doing this on hc where the muting purchases are much less than sc. So maybe in sc you can make more in selling muteables.

Edit 2x - all love mate, simply having a discussion. No hard feelings if you or anyone else feels differently.

My make big fg thread to promote ls
It is effective to get eyes on the game and that was my only goal in making the thread.

Imo as a new player the best way to cheaply farm for the best profit is to

Make a death farming caster
Only buy a good or decent lvl 50-55 item set for said caster
Slow grind or get group carried to lvl 50-55
Never leave the Goldie lock zone where a single white lvl 55 can net 80-130 fg

Don't worry about magic luck till you get a death farmer who can kill half decent.



Another option is free to start

Simply make a new player
Clear the map
Collect the map
Do this till kill speed slows or around lvl 4-8
Reroll the player and repeat the process.

Monster difficulty paired with map lvl cap is worth a decent amount
Maps with +1 well are worth 25-60 fg per copy a map can drop with 5 copies.

i solo about 90% of the time, and probably mq 10-15 times a month. i probably make 200-400 fg a month from mutes and 1000 from various selling.

but i spend alot more upgrading every month so... to the donor forum to sell RL goods.

i play solo because i don't know anyone that plays ls, i have only spent fg on attempting to sell a item which i have no clue on value. neways have fun

edit: i just cleared catacomb and when i opened the chest i did not grab the map in time, it poofd; is this a thing? do i need to be fast grabbing maps from chests?
