to maximize inf income?

wat would make a person rich quicker...+0x8 farming for purples or ticket farming and bronze rolls?

I'm no expert, but this thread suggests ticket & market farming. Problem with purples is that they're very jagged- "1 in 2000" may mean you go 4000 baddies with no purples, may mean you get two in your first 500.

... if you want to make more than 100 million a day, I don't know if we can help you.

Don't forget it's still quite possible to farm PVP IO recipes.

I find I still get a better return on farming these than farming level 50 mobs for Purples or doing any of that Ebil Marketeering buy-low-sell-high stuff. My best days work (16 hour period?) so far netted me the equivalent of just over 3.8 billion influence.

The good thing about the CoX economy is that everyone seems to have their own little niche, and the only thing that really hurts the market is when everyone saves up hundreds of merits to buy a specific IO recipe rather than rolling multiple random recipe rolls and then selling the stuff they don't need to fund buying the recipe they are looking for (I can, however, appreciate that you sometimes don't see a recipe for sale for the exact level you need it, and often lower level recipes such as "Rectified Reticle" are completely unavailable, so saving up to buy these is the only way to get ahold of them).

And of course, there's nothing to stop you farming stuff whilst you're [buying low/selling high]

Wait, is there a special place to get PvP IOs? I thought they were just mixed in with the rest of the drops.

In order to get PvPIOs, you must PvP.

People have devised ways to farm these with second accounts or friends that don't fight back.

Be on the look out for any toons named Wet Noodle.

Short of maybe a large group effort, I just don't see how you could efficiently farm PVP recepies (and isn't efficiency what "farming" is all about). Two accounts alone wouldn't really do it, since there is a 5 minute limit on drops per character (i.e. with 2 accounts you could get at most 2 chances per 5 minutes, one per character, of a drop).

I find that earnings are marginally higher doing ticket farming and selling pool As (bronze rolls). However, you'll clog up all of your slots doing this. If the marginal value of a slot is considered in (how much excess you can make from buy&craft to sell) purple farming is somewhat better....though not amazingly so. If you can kill level 50 enemies in a farm faster than me the purples would be clearly better though -- not sure if its possible but I'm working on an unusual farming blaster who might outfarm my brute right now.

As others have said do what you find to be fun and/or diversify if you have no preference.

To maximize inf* income your best bet is to get a starter kitty, find something you can flip on the market, keeping getting into larger and larger income niches as budget allows. For time invested I don't think any type of farming can beat semi-intelligent marketeering.

There are plenty of guides on this forum to look up how to get started. I haven't farmed since the difficulty slider came out, I farmed more for the challenge of taking on larger mobs than the actual rewards. I make enough off of marketeering and playing my level 50's so I can buy pretty much whatever I want in game.

I googled Starter Kitty and found this:



I agree that you should be able to make good income with a starter kitty.

See, I got

which seems less useful.

Har!
