I haven't played the game for a couple of years and just got back a week ago, i see that prices for many things have changes.

I also see this new weapons called Crimson weapons which sells really high from the market with decent refine levels.

As tittle says, is forging still a good way to earn zeny?

also what are the best method of making zeny for a player like me?

Buy Cash (KP) or Buy cash> get a 140~175 GX/RANGER/RK and grind instances.

forging hasn't been profitable since i started in 2012. People use MS for upgrading weapons and trading them in for safe7 certs.

I heard of players buying KP items like refining items, costumes and shadow armors but what do you mean by the 2nd Buy cash?

From last time, it means to buy Kafra Shop items, possibly Lucky Boxes' Prize Medals for EXP(?).. That should be worded better in my opinion Hissis!

He meant buy a character.  :heh:

 

By forging you mean VVS or upgrading? The former no but the latter is. Make +8 or +9 of level 3 weapons obtained from monsters and feed it to eat gear.

Your best option is to sell KP items to make fast money.

Otherwise you're better off making a GX and start soloing instances.

VVS died a long time ago but you can still use them. You can't earn money from them nowadays. VVS is still > Eden gear afaik. I still use them from time to time. They are older than my main.  :heh:

Forging was never a good way to make zeny. I only made zeny off of it (and not a lot, at that) after spending hundreds of millions of zeny on gear. My "forging gears" are now put to better use making AB sets, poison bottles, and runes.

There are some guides in the new player/guide section on how to make zeny.

Do Bounty Quests. Gather items like Stem and Orc Voucher to sell.

 

I like Blacksmiths, and think that the Elemental Weapons are very neat, but after the advent of Crimson Weapons and Eden Gear, it became completely obsolete.  :mellow:

Indeed, sadly smith's forging skills have been steadily replaced by NPCs (e.g. refine events) and new gears.

I think they need to give something back to smiths so that they can be on par with the profitability of pure brewer geneticist. Maybe allow them to add special abilities or enchants to weapons / armor that only Mechanics offer.
