24 hour profits.

I saw a thread about someone taking a level 1 character and in a month making a billion profit. This wasn't with a level one character, and it wasn't quite a billion, but I'm going to bed at 3:32am after starting at about 3:00am yesterday. My 24 hour profits totaled up to 857,222,517 influence, on my level 50 Fire/Kin.

This doesn't count anything like having purples up for sale that went through, just stuff acquired today and sold today, on a Wednesday/Thursday. With 124m influence at the beginning, I'm now up to 981m, just a smidge short of my one billion goal, which is a bit annoying, but I'll hit it tomorrow early so it's not a big deal.

I'm curious as to whether anyone's topped this for a single day's work (I didn't spend the entire 24 hours working on the goal like I suppose I could have over a weekend, I took breaks now and then to do other things, played a few hours of Fallout 3, hung out with my family, did other stuff) - I slept from noon to about 4:30pm, so I'd say probably 10-12 hours of solid money-making.

At some point, I think I'll make a 'one billion in a day' goal and just not sleep for 24 hours and not do anything else, and see if maybe I can reach 1.5 or 2 billion - although honestly, looking at the state the market's in right now, I'm not sure I could have sustained the profit for very much longer. Prices on a lot of stuff are in the tank, and I'm almost certain that quite a bit of it is my fault for flooding the market.

Anyway - to anyone who bought surprisingly cheap recipes today, thank you. I've probably got some of your influence.

To everyone who teamed with me today, thank you *very* much. To my SG, Dark Castle, you guys were awesome. To all the new Dark Castle recruits, I hope further days are as profitable for you as these were. Special thanks to my Skype buddies from Dark Castle.

It should be possible. Based on a Drop Analysis thread I posted long ago, I was making about 60M/hour farming the Liberate TV mission on my Fire/Psi Dom. Prices on purples have gone up considerably, and they were over half my income. Though granted the kill speed on my Dom has probably gone down. I haven't tried her at farming since the Dom changes.


Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

Step one; make a soft capped to smash lethal fire/kin.
Step two: farm smash/lethal mobs.
Step three: bronze roll and sell.

Repeat.

Edit: oh and nice work Rob.
Edit: dammit stillhart don't quote me miswriting my own friend's name >.<

This works, but the soak rate of bronze IO's is a little low to move them all in 24 hours.

So you sell them all cheap? Because otherwise they would sit for awhile and take up market slots... You would also over inflate the market with recipes right?

[/ QUOTE ] But not THAT kind of money if you want to sell them fast, IMHO.

Absolutely true, Bronzes will eat up your tray unless you really prune your rolls hardcore.

I've only been marketeering on a limited basis with MA but that's what I'm starting to believe as well.

the thing about bronze rolls is you can generate SO many of them deleting everything but the absolute best stuff doesn't really cramp your style much.

It takes a few minutes to run a quick solo farm that will fill up your recipe inventory- even if you only get one really good recipe, you're still way ahead of the 'real' game.

Sell the good one for a few million, delete the rest, onward and upward!
