Have you every found yourself still stuck in the same financial area? Well this guide will help you get off your feet :D How to start Theres two very easy ways and one not so easy way to start to get money for merchanting. 1. What i find very easy is to simply beg. Demoralizing, but it works. Just remember not to abuse it. 2. Training and selling all drops. 3. Leveling up and doing the quests from here Once you have enough After about 100-200k, you're ready to start merchanting :D. There are many ways to merchant at the very beginning but i find that only a few ways are effective. I suggest you do them in this order because as the numbers get higher, the more money it takes to merchant with those items. Ores Ore prices have risen exponentially because of the maker skill. Ive even seen stores sell out on 20k saphire ores! Getting Ores It might just be me but i think that after the patch came out, ores have a higher chance of dropping. You can get ores almost any monsters you train on so just its best not to actually look for the. Just continue with your daily training :]. Selling Ores Selling them are much easier if you have a shop but shouting it out in fm will most likely get you a trade within a minute or two. Pricing them is really up to you. I usually price my mineral ores(no crystal; steel, mithril) at 10k and my crystal ores at around 20k. The big 3 (diamond, black crystal, and gold) are anywhere from 30k to even 100k if people are desperate. The top 5 ores are the big ones. Dark crystal or and the four stat crystal ores. Ive seen the actually crystal go for 1.5m in Kradia so anywhere form 50k-150k is decent - Credit to higkids Work Gloves Work Gloves: Getting ready The simplest way to merchant. I had personally gotten about 5mil just from this over a 2 day span! Firsty, you have to get as many leathers as you can. I suggest you go to either the KPQ area or anywhere around henesys to try to buy leathers. If you dont think your getting enough trades from people just by saying it out loud just trade random people you see that look like they might carry some leather. I usually buy leathers for 1k each. When i say get as much leather as you can, i mean all the leather you can afford.Why? Because your going to turn those leathers into Work Gloves! Work Gloves: Making Now if you dont know how to make work gloves, you talk to JM from tha Streetz who is to the right of the KPQ person in Kerning City. Select gloves then work gloves. It costs 15 Leathers and 1k mesos to make. Work Gloves: Selling Here is where it gets fun :D. In my experience selling them is actually fairly easy. I am in Kradia so i sold most of mine for 150k-350k EACH . When i go into the FM its usually not that hard to find an empty space but in other worlds such as Scania it might be harder. I usually say S>CLEAN WORK GLOVES with 4 @'s behind it with a space and so forth. this makes it have the column of 4 @'s going down your chat box, making it easier for people to see. Profit 15

This is more for higher levels, but once you do both of Alcaster's quests, you can buy summoning rocks for 5k each and sell them for 6-7k each in FM. I've been selling around 600 rocks a day and making a bit less than 600k per day from the rocks alone. It's going to be tougher for some people to get store permits now with the new, hiked mts tax. =( *needs 1.5k nx*

Well there's always the buying of the Bath robes from Showa town and selling them for more, and you can also scroll them for 100% dex 10 x 30k( or 35k) = 300-350k and sell the robe for 500k-1m

Yea I was just wondering whether CK's can do Jane and the Wild Boar quest. Because I can't and I am in the level range.

Its an awesome guide, but I think you should add on more about scrolls. Because im pretty sure there are people like me who dont want to spend time and money getting leathers / overall dex 10%'s. I'll add some scrolls and prices if ya want. (And money section)
