I understand what you are saying..kinda like the raising minimum wage to $15 per hour...the cost of living will adjust to the current wages to keep the rich richer and the poor poorer. same way in tera. but many people , and myself included are tired of looking in their banks and only seeing a few thousand gold, and its disheartening when you go to the broker and see stuff for no less than 10k gold. then the good stuff if 100k or more. I don't think many that ask about how to make gold is expecting to make millions, just occasionally enough to splurge on an item in the trade broker, or to feel like their efforts have been worth playing. it feels good to see a little gold in your bank now and again lol.
for me rich=everyone have good life and are happy
your definition is more a lord and his follower
or the alpha and the others
I mentioned gathering earlier. You can opt to do several things: 1) Try your luck with etching, or just refine materials like scarabs for sell; 2) Craft brooches - Quatrefoil is the new BiS, but they offer only a slight improvement over the superior crafted brooches, and they still sell; 3) Craft oils - Hijka, Aterstod, Ostatak. I'd advise against selling raw materials, since there is always a possibility of critting. Even refining them to ingots, silk or sillex is better than just handing them over for less gold.
Exchange the tokens you get from daily dungeons and/or IoD bams for things that are highest in price currently. Goddess Tears were a good item for sell, but I think Colluva Ore is more worth selling at this point. If you do t3 bams for Shadetops, sell Runes. Oh, and the most worthwhile investment is to get Elite status as soon as possible. It literally pays itself out in only a couple of days of doing Vanguards and other dailies, and it's worth not just because of the double rep, but because of the Crafter Cures and consumables you'll be saving money on.
Nothing to do on your character? Did you do your Ghillies? One run is worth about 300 to 400 gold, depending on the drops, and you can finish it in 5 minutes or less. 4 entries per day, that's 1200 gold per character. And there is always that small chance that an expensive design or diamond might drop.
I don't flip items on the broker, but selling wisely also brings in more gold with some patience. Hoarding stuff is the key. Also, being vain in moderation. Laughable as it may seem when someone says it, costumes and cosmetics ARE the true end-game of Tera. Gear, jewelry, and as we've lately seen, even innerwear, lose relevancy every couple of months. But costumes, mounts and accessories are there to stay. Attractive as they may seem, they are also quite expensive, so unless you really want that costume, it would be wise to limit oneself to as less as possible. Unless you buy EMP with money.
The market is somewhat a mess with prices right now, but with all the things I've mentioned, I've earned about 2.5 million gold since this patch started. And, I don't even do instances like SSHM or DSU, which would have, especially in the case of the latter, brought me at least twice as much. So, even with "vanilla" gameplay, you can get decent gold with enough patience and by just playing the game.
can you run ghillie in dreadnaught gear?
with brawler and gunner yes
thanks
With any class.
All classes can do it, although the easiest is probably Mystic.
how long does it take in slaughter ?
You can do it in Idoneal, just have to do all the guardians first (so you can get the buff at the end). And really I've never noticed any difference in drops between doing all 3 bosses or just the last one that cannot be explained as RNG so the only thing skipping the guardians does is save time. I think before it used to drop more if you skipped to the end but now I seem to get the same crap no matter which way I do it.
