Billions With a Twist

I know it has been done before, but I added a new wrinkle or two on starting from scratch and hitting the cap.


First, I started this guy in Praetoria during the great Monkey Massacre so when I went to sell my big inspires, expecting to get my usual 100,000 or so, I got a measly 10,000 inf!


I begain by buying all the level 48-53 SO’s I could find and vendored them to get to around 700,000. Started flipping salvage and got to around 200,000.000 and decided that I should start crafting some shinies.


Then it occurred to me; Wouldn’t it be cool if I could hit the cap and get fieldcrafter while I was in Praetoria?

There were benefits to this plan even though I usually have an SG to help make this task easier. First, memorizing the 45-50 would increase my recipe storage. Second memorizing 25-30 would increase salvage storage. Both of these would make my plan easier. So I started crafting and selling and using another level 11 toon I have in Preatoria to sell a few for me. Even so, I had to blow these out at cost or even outright delete a few. Overall I lost only a couple of million or so because I was selling during all those respecs and did pretty well on my level 40+ I/Os. I paid a lot more for salvage than I like to for this project but with patience it wasn’t too bad.


In the meantime, I was crafting Reactive Armor, Thunderstrikes, Crushing blows etc. This took me to around 700 million. Then I started crafting risker items, Like Numina’s Heal, Kinteic Combat, Oblit Triples and Quads, Mako’s Quads and the like. For while I was paying very little for rare salvage and a lot for common and uncommon salvage (remember no AE tickets). Now things are more normal. I just sold 2 Kinetic Combat Acc/Dam and hit the cap or pretty close to it. Took about a month.



PS. I know there is supposed to be a monocle and a top hat, but he isn't my first toon to hit the cap and I only have the one costume slot.

Grats, nice work.

So what will be the approved Resistance DuxBillionaire attire? A sporty neckbeard?

Kidding! Gratz.

Actually, this toon's name is G8 Battle Ace based on the 30's pulp character. He is a WWI pilot who thwarts evil schemes against the US.I need to get him out of Praetoria and into the Winter Event. He needs the white neck scarf to complete his look

Yes, I basically wore a path between the Trading House and CDEC (He was loyalist for bulk of the time). Steel or even Atlas would have been much, much easier.



I mainly did this to see if I could do it. I have to admit that you guys were right about how much quicker you can make money by just straight marketing. I mainly just followed advice I have read here. I had a hard time believing that it was that easy.

Gratz!
