I've been wanting to buy some costumes from the auction house (RO1 Dancer Female, Ali Baba veil) but the listed ones are extremely expensive (like most rare items in the auction house), somewhere around ~300k zeny. I've been playing this game for a few years but I've never gotten even close to that amount. I also noticed that most of the time, the high amount of zeny that people are auctioning these items off for lead to items never actually being sold, which breaks my heart. I think currently I have around 2.5k zeny? (I have bought some pricey-ish things from the auction house before, so it might've been higher before- but nothing above 10k zeny). Is there anyone who might accept maybe a small amount of zeny w/ me joining their party for a few days to help with dungeons, raids, etc.? Crafting items for them or collecting drops they need, or even helping with quests/khara, etc.? Quite frankly, anything is fine with me as long as I don't have to pay a ridiculous amount of zeny. I haven't been playing consistently due to school and other extracurricular activities, so maybe that's why I'm low on zeny?
If not, could a kind soul please provide some tips on how to accumulate zeny quicker? I've auctioned some things off before, but only for moderate prices (~500 zeny?) I honestly have 0 clue how some of you can manage to have upwards of 100k zeny
I'm a master level 8 rogue/blacksmith, but I've been saving my exp to grind more easily (~9k mp right now) so I'm not sure what ML I actually am.
Again, any tips would be greatly appreciated!
