I just felt like saying I have a horrible time with it(making zeny) as my main char has been always, Sura for a long time now (over a year) which makes alot of zeny hard to find unless you are funded from pure gameplay..
Is this pre-trans monk your first char? (or currently post-trans) Since mine was, making things complicated, and it was a hell of a time to get enough friends to get anywhere.
I suggest-
- Make other chars which get zeny without the steep learning curve. (like above, bsmith- hunter/ranger- thief/gx- etc. [merch])
- Once made, look on WP Forums for guides on class divisions to find proper stats to allocate to, oh and do quests. (Complete a story to get free gears... ) be sure to ask around for basics and easy methods. (events, fresh fish, maneater blossoms..)
- Make your computer non-hyperthreading in the CPU part and/or section of the Bios... so that you run multiple RO clients for selling simple items. Find a better name for all your new chars, I personally just went with a merch vendor account (Game account made via WarpPortal) then a buffer/healer. I read or heard that its better running Ro fullscreen too.
- Once with main acc, merch-vend acc., and Spare, in tow you can bulldoze your way with selling drosera tentacles (Town Veins) around your level perhaps. or some other things. Zeny is about doing things that are (Hear ye, my inner Rebel Speaketh) smart rather than / versus just efficient. It is sometimes worth the while to do so... at the cost of dire wanderlust. Yet so it still is better off to just play smart.
Yeah. Oh, and if you have questions just ask. I am very noobish with certain things. but if u need help, im a monk specialist--lvl 132/37 Sura DustSky
