Yeah, as much as people complain about the evil marketeers cornering the market and making ungodly amounts of influence, seems to me that a hardcore AE farmer can make more, on average, than most anyone who plays the market.

The advantage for the marketeer is that she probably spends less in-game time, but even that's not necessarily a hard-and-fast rule. I know that during those stretches of time when I was really into the market, I wasn't spending a whole lot of in-game time on it in an absolute sense -- but logging in/out on half a dozen different characters every day sure seems like it takes forever, at times.

And a good farmer can hit the ticket cap in probably half an hour, if that. That many Bronze rolls ought to yield at least 250 million given that you craft the right recipes (and with the understanding that sifting through that many recipes can be a giant PITA, but if you do it often enough it should become second nature).

FWIW, and back on topic: The best I've managed is about 20 billion over a 20 day span in January. I've since dialed it down quite a bit, almost down to nothing now that Issue 20 looms, and I find myself with not a whole lot of motivation to kit out my alts. So, anyway, that's about 1 billion per day, but it wasn't all marketeering, and I could never keep up that pace for any great length of time. It's just too much effort.

If people are keeping up with that effort, then kudos.

I generally just do volume crafting 20-30 bids on a given recipe at the beginning of the week and ill throw 10 more up once the first 10 sell. I dont really hunt for high profit niches and I avoid high cost purples or pvp IOs. I also dont go out of my way to try and raise prices since it so often backfires. In fact I generally list things at around half the going rate for my 5-20m cost niches.


I am an ebil markeeter and will steal your moneiz ...correction stole your moneiz. I support keeping the poor down because it is impossible to make moneiz in this game.

Right now I'm working hard at making money to purple my night widow, and I'm pulling in about 500-600 million a day.

I actually had a 12B day last weekend, that was kinda great. I think I need a life.

there have been times that i did and times where i came close.

But I am kinda winded down. I dont market anymore or farm activly. All my toons are done on 2 servers now and i have some on a 3rd server. I only play 4 or 6 toons activly since the incarnate stuff hit. So now i just play when i want since im even after finishing all my toons still banked.

Maybe if i get another free slot ill make another toon but with whats in my bins i wont need to buy or make anything and what i sell after playing im still making a ton with nothing to spend it on.

In fact i havent used a merit in about 10-12 months or more. I guess i have about 12-14k merits on all my toons combined at this point not sure how i could even quantify that.

Was that a huge spike in normal earning, like say, you sold many pvp IO...
Or you can constantly make it happend... well at least 2B+ a day (when you play).

Also i realize measuring this, by day , is not great, for ppl that have a life, and dont play everyday like some of us <.<


BTW, pvp drop farming was not what i had in mind... when i first started this post. I am more curious about how much cash can one soul can make (per day or per week), with only playing the market.

That said, regardless of everyone feelings about pvp drop farming. It can be interesting to know, how much can be made, wit that alone, as well. I blame my curiosity on this.

I want to do some pvp farming, what is the basics I need to know?

I don't have 12 B days every day, I used to do 1-2 bill per day but now it has become much harder
