More ways to make cash

[Petra]

Sort of balancey, but no way round that! We need more ways to make cash!

You imms are doing a fantastic job of adding in new capabilities recently, and hugely thankful for all the hard work. However a bunch of new changes require you to have cash, and the biggest form of cash (at least for me) used to be handing in trinkets acquired from PK. Now you can't do that with R5 trinkets I find myself very poor. So poor. Like, the poorest.

On top of that there are a few mobs or smobs that seem to have cash possibly downed? It would be great if smob henchman started loading more cash, to promote the idea of killing an entire smob, but also to reward people for hitting them. Additionally upping cash loads more randomly on other things you kill would be great.

Totally second this idea.
I wouldn't be upset, if all smob bosses loaded 100+gc, and each of their mobs, 15-20gc.
I'm super stoked, and find the cost for the reset guy quite good, but other recent changes, the cost is simply astronomical, for the amount of time needed to collect that much gold.

Tzao and I made about 700g last night in an hour or two. Only one of those sources was Seandar and very few were LS friendly, so even as a LS'er, you could get a lot of gold fairly easily.

Door Alima, should provide decent coin.

The brigand troopers seen winding and arroyo in Saldana have moved to whitebridge bridge troll area. Great source of cash.

I think herbalists across the board should buy herbs. (Caemlyn hint hint for lowbies.). Make shops inner caemlyn only buy from lowbies so high levels don't take all cash.

Set criers to regular scalp turnin (like rats and crow turn in system) from nearby menaces.... smobs, hill giants, mid-level smobs. Anything that takes a master and mob or two non masters to slay.

Economy is always a tough topic without analytics. Before the addition of the gold sinks, gold was valued as kinda worthless. On the bazaar no one is ever selling equipment, always trading. I kind of like how there are things now that require gold..maybe that will help fix the gold economy a bit.

I don't find it very hard to save up some coin but it does take time to do so.

Still pretty easy to get gold for the top end items - I sold a jcuff for a top end kit not that long ago...

The one thing that is kinda sad is that basic gear/weapons really don't sell much...not sure why guess they are just dropped in barrels mostly, but I used to have a moderately fun time smobbing up a wagon of gear and then roleplaying a merchant in caemlyn and making some gold. I'll have to try it again, but last few times I sold almost nothing...

Hilarious!

Two man mini smob system like Illian tear one is nice for gold loads.

Perhaps people can sell some of the things they have in their rents/storage chars to other, more affluent players. Get an economy going again!
