How did you make your elfsim millions?

[zati]

Started my first toon when Velious first launched. I was like lvl 35 on my SK 1 month in. Met a bunch of cool peeps in befallen and I'd go there every now and then to reminisce how hard that damn zone was w/o gear. Had a full group w/ 1 druid healing who died 7x in a row (rip) and ran back each time from Rivervale.. lmao.

Eventually I found out about Reapers of the dead. Sold them for 1K (upwards to 1.2k) to raiders. Bought a Noct blade for 3k , Atra shield 3K, and some miscellaneous gear. Lvled up to 51 as fast as I could w/ my RL friend. We wanted to farm elder beads which resulted in deaths.. those monkeys were hard AF so we had to kite them. Never saw one drop, but we had the camp a few times(unbelievable right?)

I ended saying F camping em and sold more reapers...eventually saved 20K and bought 1 pair of beads. The following day I won a T staff in KC. Holy shit I sold that for 30k ASAP and bought another pair of beads for 19K.

Traded one of my beads to get Soul leech MQ and finished mah epic(no regrets) at lvl 57..the dream [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] . Still got the other pair of holgresh beads to this day.

Stories like this make me mad I didn't have the foresight to log in for 20 mins and move money into beads -- I assumed I'd never log back into EQ again =)

That said, I still have a hard time understanding why these things sell for nearly as much as a manastone.

Never been rich in this game. At one point I managed to win 2 hiero cloaks in 2 days in seb crypt, back when they were worth about 60k. I used one and I gave the second one to a friend. To this day he never paid me back for it like he said he would. Craby, if you still play, you owe me 60k [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I did also buy an account at one point that I planned to level as an alt then flip -- then account selling got banned. Now I have a random 35 warrior account forever that I will never actually do anything with.

I made my starter money by leveling a magician to 50 in 2009/2010, then selling it for plat (which was legal at the time). I think I got 150k, and periodically would flip items for 5 years til I quit to stay flush.

Yep that was the key. Fastest way to make plat at the time.

To make a lot of money on p99 blue you don't need to start in 2009 or devote your life to EQ.

You just need some basic computer skills to parse EC tunnel logs.

You're welcome.

Server is so top heavy that only the best of the best items sell well.

Everything else is basically half the value it was two years ago.

Exactly. That's a good thing though. Nobody needs to be a millionaire to get decked out in good gear.

i was offered several million plat to shitpost in favor of a raiding guild

i declined because i am not a prostitute [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If I could turn back time to the hour before I read your tale of derring-do, so I could read it again, I would.

I do like this, though even still - looks like Everest with no supporting oxygen.

I guess the equation is just time = plat. No way around it. But jeez, that's a lot of time.
