Looking for silver advice.
TL;DR, I'm not too sure how to make silver in game.

Long story;

I'm currently a level 59 witch (219/221/251) and I need more silver to progress with my gear. I don't talk to my guild too much as they mainly ignore me, so i'm stuck to doing stuff by myself. My main source of silver at the moment is from grinding nagas, but that's only 5-10 Mil an hour. (3 Tier 1, 1 Tier 2, 1 Tier 3.)

It'd take me until 2020 to save up enough silver to even attempt gear progression lmao. That's why I came to this board for advice. I haven't messed around with lifeskilling too much, only a little bit of AFK fishing. The only way i've made sufficient silver throughout my time playing has been from grinding and enhancing, nothing else. So i'm wondering, is there something i'm missing?

What would you guys recommend to make silver?

Are there any spots I should be grinding at?

There's a lot of advice I think you'll get from players here - I'll just say a few things. I'd change guilds, pick a life skill that can work for you while you are doing other things, start grinding in different places to stay in love with the game, make sure you've done most of the questing and find some good streamers - watch what they do - don't burn out my friend <3

being lucky to earn billion from vell or garmoth world boss, play shadow arena to earn money and have fun. Earn Silver from Event that mainly meant to help you progress.

Try farm mobs that can drop TET blue accesory that worth over 1b. kill dark rift boss.

Pet food is always in demand and easy to make, so Cooking is a simple life skill you can take up.

Find a node you can grind easily and that drops some popular items (example Hexe Sanctuary for Witches Earrings). Link it up with your contribution points and sink as much Energy into it as you can. This will increase the drop rate and you can also trade in monster trash easily. Depending on your gear there are more profitable nodes like Desert Fogans (Titium Valley).

Pull blackstones out of any pre-enhanced gear up to +7 or +5 depending on whether it's armour or weapons and sell the stones on the MP. They are worth more than the gear.

If there are too many registered items of any green drops you get, melt them for "traces". They often sell for more than than the green drop and are usually always in demand

At the moment Shadow Arena gives a nice quantity of silver and blackstones. Don't worry if you're not good at PvP (the place is full of speed hackers anyway). Just grab as much loot as you can and try to run around as long as possible, you'll still end up with some decent rewards

Get rid of your guild, they sound like trash. There are some really nice guilds willing to help people.

Fishing the Velia hotspot (where everyone is on the beach) can make you some nice money AFK if you are comfortable leaving your PC on

If you have a sailboat, go out to the islands in the Ross Sea and gather lobster to turn into glue, there are always preorders up for that.

Outside of boss gear (or even including boss gear given how cheap it is atm) don't waste money and time upgrading armour and weapons yourself, you'll spend more money on repairs than you need to. Try to buy at +15 minimum (PRI has an easy Enhancement Success rate and it's easy to get things to TRI from that point)

Check out the official forums for much more detailed help

First off, naga's is terrible silver/hr anymore, they have nerfed it enough, its nice for its location and exp but bad silver.

With your gear I would recommend focusing on getting to lv 60 more than your gear for now.

At your AP you can pick most places that list an AP under 200 on the map and have a decent grinding speed, Gahaz is fairly good silver but because of that it tends to have a lot of people/pvp
I have heard polly's forest in Kama is decent exp/loot but I haven't tried it personally, helms is still ok for silver
Crescant Shrine is ok silver, but not great unless you get rings dropping, its not as good as it was with ring price drops though
Tishra Ruins is a good exp place and guildies have said decent silver


For life skill silver, the VERY best silver is crate trading but it takes a TON of setup to get enough silver to be worth it, so it's a longer term goal if you want to look into it. There is always getting nodes with lumber/ore and selling or processing then selling those for easy silver, it's not great silver but its easy. AFK fishing is usually more for getting relics than profit but it is still silver but your better off going to some place like grana for it than Veila at this point.

Almost all life skills can be used to make silver its just a matter what you want to do and how involved in the skill you want to be, but I suggest finding one of the many guides online on any of them that you want to learn about.


TL:DR Focus on lv 60 not gear, and try any place that lists is recommended ap under 200 that seems interesting.

Trading is the only sure way to make billions of silver. Unfortunately, leveling trading is so mind numbing boring not to mention it takes long hours and dedication to get to Artisan level where you can actually start to see results.

But once you do get to the point where your crate runs start raking in 100s of millions... Your set. Just buy TET gear off the market and you can PvP.
