Any tips on making dappers?

[eboladit]

I have been in game 5 days now. I am level 31 Melee and level 17 harvester in Pyr. Having a blast too I must add.

But one thing plagues me. I am not making much money. Alot of the good items out there are WAY too expensive for me. Here is how I have been doing it.

I go out and start killing everything I can find around the entrance to the city of Pyr. Yubos, Izams, Even a baying gingo (Almost killed me). When my stamina cant take anymore I switch to harvesting and start grabbing all I can. Once I get 2 levels (20 points) in each I head back in, sell what I found to the NPCs, and level up. Then head back out again. Rinse and repeat.

I also once a log in I do all the quests I can handle.

I tried selling to players through the NPCs but I still have level 20 amber that hasnt been touched in 3 days.

The most I have made is 30k dappers. So I was wondering, is there any better way to make dappers?

Gotta say this is a fun community.

Your in the same boat as we all were when first starting out, except they nerfed the payouts from the Missions as some were extremely high.
I wouldnt worry about trying to sell any mats on at this stage, the people who would buy lvl 20 will be as short as u are in dappers.
As you progress up the levels money will start to get more plentiful and less of a problem, join a guild and if you really need something ask for a loan. Alot of us did and then paid it back, I regularly drop in armour and swords to the guild stores to help new players.

I'd agree with Borg on that, join a guild, get a loan, maybe even some gear.

I also found that initially I wasn't making much money, particularly from crafting. Then suddenly, when I got to a higher level in crafting, my cash leapt up in a very short period when people started to buy my gear. Agree that the low lvl stuff doesn't sell but, once you get higher, you'll find selling stuff gets easier.

Just stick with it mate!

I do have some advice on how to sell to players via the NPC's. Before you put your stuff up for sale take a look at what the raw materials vendor is already carrying. Then set your price lower than the prices of what's already there. Many people just use the default price, so if you set yours at 95% you might become the lowest price there, and thus the one most likely to sell your stuff. Also, when I buy I like to buy in bulk, so I'm much more likely to grab a group of 5 or 10 of something than a single item. If you can wait until you have a reasonable number of something before putting it in the market you'll have a better chance of moving it.

Don't know about your server, but on the Euro server jewel crafters are in short supply.

Every piece of jewelry I put on the vendors sells within an hour or two, even with a 200% markup. Admittedly jewel craft is a real grind, but it can be well worth it in the end.

Debated wether to start jewellery the other day and went with Modi light instead, as you said too much of a grind but then I make 500,000 dappers a week in offline sales as I craft everything else that sells well lol.

Gave a set of black modi heavy excellent q70 a 250% markup and it sold in 1 hour

I sold a modi vest in 5 minutes the other day!

Just good timing?

A tip: Craft that stuff into something. Making amps takes 3 mats; bark, amber, and fiber. Not only does that give you bonus SP, but the amps sell nicely to the vendor. When I was coming through, there was a huge shortage of Q30 amps. None were available in the training grounds, yet most players rocket past Q30 crafting quickly.

Within a few days of grinding, the amps are worth over 5k each just to the vendor, and 5k again if a player buys them. Around Q80, I believe, they sell for 10k+. Very easy to make 1/2 a mill per "batch" of amps.

You should definately pick up crafting if you want dappers. The reall grind part of it you already do which is harvesting, the actual crafting part is quick. You will have a steady stream of income if only from the merchants and no one buys them. As a matter of fact I get about 700K just from the NPC merchant when I grind my armor craft. This does not include stuff that sells on to players. Although I do sell some to players, heavy armor doesn't selll so quickly but I generally do keep my prices low as I don't really need the dapper, currently sitting on 3 mil. Send me a tell in game if you need help with anything.
