Okay, how do you guys make so much money in such a short period of time? Recently I have been merchanting 8 atk wgs, and have been making 4-5m per glove I buy/sell. Obviously some weird people always trade me telling me it's like worth more than 40m. It takes a while for me to buy two. Then it takes a little shorter but still a little time to sell them in my shop. I made around 20m a day and I have around 95m now. What should I buy and sell with this money to make the best profit?

Steelies .... I made 300-500k for each steely and I thought that wouldn't do me anything haha.... IDK about ilbis never tried them yet.

Steelies and Ilbis are pretty good for merchanting. I buy them for around 4m or less, and sell for sound 5.7-6m in my shop.

I put steelies up for 5m lol no body would buy for like 2 hrs so i just put for 4.2m which was 400k profit. Yeah i sell 8 atk WGs for 36m... 40m is a good price but i guess i don't have the patience..

Because of the instability, now's the best time to merchant. Few people are keeping up with prices, making it easy to get great deals. However, as many prices are going down right now, people are going to be thinking higher and higher. Wait for a little while, then start merchanting maple shields, maple magician shields, shield attack/magic attack scrolls, and some scrolled items. Work gloves are fine, but stop fooling around with 8 attack wgs. Get into 10-11 attack wgs now. My friend just got a 10 att for 85m a few days ago. He can make what, a 20-30m profit with that? :P By the way, for those of you who boarded the meso-buying train like I did (since the prices were so high and massive profits were being made due to immense inflation, meso prices were lower than !@#$%), congratulations. I invested $200 in mesos and got 4.5b. Now I can turn around and sell that 4.5b for nearly $700. Chuh-yeah. $500 in profit, baby. Anyway. That's what I recommend.

YEEEp just like me when i first started. i say if you can play during the morning then when your done set up shop and leave it on. i sold steelies for 5mil also but i make a 1-2.5mil profit and ilbi's I sell for 15 mil buy for around 10-13 if i can manage. all you gotta have is patience my friend

Yep. That's exactly what I need. Haha my last WG just got sold x]... Let's go buy more! Good night.

hmm What do you guys think is most profitable? I have about 300mil to merchant. I'm thinking gfa since they are 7m, but it's kind of risky seeing they went down. I see 8att wgs for 40m, how could you get it for 30?

Well. With the fluctuating GFA's prices, I think it would be RECOMMENDED that you scroll your own gloves. For example, earlier tonight, I just finished scrolling my 10 Atk wg. I find it a really good idea that with GFA prices at almost an All Time Low, you scroll gloves. Then, when the time comes, sell your godly work gloves for a hefty sum. The only problem with that is, you have a really low %age rate to scroll a 10 atk like I did so today. So Id say, if you have alot of spare cash, ~500m, you should invest in GFA's and scroll gloves. But, godly scrolling isnt that possible. But 8 and 6 atk wgs are more likely. So if your hopeful, rich, and lucky, invest MOST or SOME of your money into scrolling attack work gloves. Hey, it could pay off. Just not now. Prices fail.
