    You need money to make playing the broker worthwhile though. And also you need to have self control to not waste it all.

    im not going to spend 100's of dollars in the store just for gold for items I will never be able to own. rare times do I get things from it, but its something I really really want, and I have to choose between real life wants and virtual wants. so I tend to sleep on it about a week before making a decision. I was hoping the red and black dragons would be in the cash shop as well for account bound. that would have been bought right then lol. but for the most part, you can buy what you want from the cash shop a lot cheaper than buying it with gold. your time of grind covert it to minimum wage, as if you were working at a job, then see which one would be better.

    I highly doubt that anyone would like to be my sugar daddy, even If I am always there for him/her and support no matter what, it's just I'm too bad with luck. Also, why do I get the vibe that this is cheating? Like, Ok, If someone were to come find me - or me find someone - and that someone would like to help me up a bit in gold, I would obviously throw myself out for him/her and play everyday, doing dungeons, quests, anything with that person, but why do I still feel like this is a bad thing to do? Like, I get it, I have to work hard my [filtered] off, but most of the times, things costs more and more and I get less and less and no matter If I keep saving, it's literally taking forever...I sell stuff on broker, decent and low prices, I am doing dungeons and selling my feeds, items, ores, etc etc, I am giving away my rep points to get mwa boxes to sell them or to open them and sell the alkahests, this is a very big issue though, as the boxes can be sold for 300g per unit, whilst the mwa alkahests themselves are being sold for 20g per unit, and I am not always good with luck on getting more than extra alkahests.

    So, yeah, I am thinking of getting a 15$ month Elite Status + some item to sell on broker, thing is, I don't know what item people may want, and when I search on Broker, there are thousands of different items that it's becoming...overwhelming, should I say? Yeah, that. It puts a big stop on me and my meaningless tries....

    Just don't buy an item(especially if you are unlucky), sell the EMP instead. Shout in trade chat that you are selling x amount of EMP for whatever rate. Somebody will buy it and tell you what items they need.

    I am not that experienced in playing the broker but some things that are important are:

    1. How much money you have to start with. You can flip with small amounts of gold too but large sums make it easier.
    2. Time: If you are new to the broker sometimes you just have to sit there and look at items, look at trends, look at recent history (how often it is sold, the price), and so forth. You can even look at items that are low in quantity and take advantage of that.
    3. Time frame: If it is a new update with dungeons people will want materials like feedstock, alkahest, semis, and perhaps sea chests. If a new cosmetic item from the store is available you can take advantage of that.
    4. It's important to look at updates from EME/KTERA because items get removed. Like, it wouldn't be great to invest too much into alchemy right now since later on it will be useless.
    5. Finally, it's important to be very organized when you do broker. When you watch Kamizuma's streams just because he sells something doesn't mean he immediately takes the gold. He may leave the sold item on the broker for weeks just because he wants to keep track of when and how much he sold the item. In addition, every single thing adds up. You can sell items that will net you very little gold for profit or get huge rewards on items. At one point I bought some mats for brooches and made 10-20k per brooch

    So in all, playing the broker is ONLY easy if you are experienced with it. For me, it can be quick money because everyone needs an item in Tera at some point. But the cons are that you're just standing there looking at the items on the broker and it can be boring after a while. If your goal is money then sure try it out but for Kamizuma and many others it's something they really enjoy.

    It's all about investing and making the right decisions as well as taking advantage of key points in time. It takes work and practice to become skilled at it just like anything in this game. There is no real shortcut to it. You have to take the time to practice it and perfect it.

    Good luck!

    I should pay more attention to the broker list then, I'm still struggling hard about that, but thank you all so much for your tips and suggestions, I'll re-read again every message you all posted here, and I'll choose which path to take and what to do, since I'm an f2p peasant player, I don't have much options or hope in me, but there's still a try to do instead of sitting in a corner and doing nothing. Thank you again for your answers!

    just do some part time work => buy EME

    But, if you want just 250k per month, I think, you can get it from grinding in IOD, daily quest with 20 brawler/ ninja.

    Do Mongo event and get 500k~1mil gold in 3 days defend on your luck.
