Money Recipes... Hope they don't Nerf it!Follow

Last night I was clearing my inventory of things like:

Soapweed
Field Maple
Withered Mushrooms
Etc... (you get the picture -- Antonica foraged stuff)

Anyways, I figured to skill-up making washes, oils, etc. and clear my packs at the same time. Well I bought a 2x stacks of candles (240cp) & 2x stacks of liquid (240cp)... Well after that I used about 14 of each clearing inventory and when I sold the T2 combines I was surprized to see that the vendor offered 50cp EACH!

Nothing like making 7sp real quick...
So I rushed upstairs to the broker and he had dozens of T2 components for 1cp each.
If SoE finds this out I think I hear a nerf hammer coming... sounds kind of trivial for someone to spend 13-15cp to make 50cp but with the economy so deviod of cash any little bit helps.
I combined all 6 of my character's cash and only had ONE gold!

I think I have found my cash cow...

Also, along these same lines, people are now selling Turquiose, Electrum & Iron Clusters for 1-4cp each.
Since you can make Eolith Tempers fairly easily you get 3-4 from each combine.

They sell to the vendor for 17cp each. It cost you:

1 Candle 6cp (unless you really get unlucky and start over)
1 Liquid 6cp (I get cheap & hunt the Caves - Gnoll Spit..free)
1 Component 1-4cp

All told you're only out 16cp at worst...you get 34-51cp profit selling to the vendor.

Of course you can sell them to the bazaar (which I did). On the Befallen broker the Eolith Tempers were selling for 50-150cp. Being greedy just leaves you in trader mode to long.. I priced mine for 27cp each and they FLEW off the shelf. Not sure if other traders were buying them for profiteering but I don't care, 'cause I got my money.

Again, it may not seem like much of a profit considering you can sell foraged rares for 1+gp.. so I guess people will tell me to just keep foraging but this fills a need. Many people would rather not spend their time making these lower level combines... They are still green to me so away I go...

I can make about 30-40 combines per hour and haven't failed yet (I classify a failure as shaped or crude). This leads to about 120 Eolith tempers.
Do the math ---
120 tempers = 2040cp to a vendor
40 Candles = 240cp
40 Liquids = 240cp (assuming you don't hunt for it)
40 Components= 120cp (average price, not foraging...)
Total = 1440cp profit

While I could be making more money hunting I need to make these tempers anyways. I seriously doubt as a level 14 Warrior that I could make 14 silver/hour hunting. At least not without accumulating a significant exp debt. And my luck in groups hasn't been that stellar. I suck at the lottery!
So, I will be doing fairly well, at least untill Eolith Tempers turn grey.

PS: I have looked at the cost of turning out crude Iron Bars (which sell for 1sp each) but their cost ratio isn't as good as the Tempers... you NEVER get 3-4 bars from a combine (at least I haven't seen it yet...)

Comments are welcome but please keep the flames to yourself...

The Alchemist by far and away is the biggest direct cash cow in the game. Easily able to develop large funds fast.

You can make a few copper on these if you wish, or you can sell tempers, oils, and resins once you get above T2. Note that you can usualy buy the subcomponet raws for 5-10 copper, and at T3 you can get a couple silver for them.

That's the problem it is becoming "work" if you do this. You will not be getting much TS exp after the first time.

As for making 7 silver in 20 mins that is 21 silver per hour or perhaps almost a gold in a full evening's play. I can easily make that adventuring and enjoy the game, get meaningful exp and work on quests. I think that would be true of anyone over about level 12.
