Games: Ragnarok Online game discussion [!OT]

Not really, most people won't buy carded weapons unless they're good.

[mrwiseman]

Hmm... But you should be able to make at least 100K with it; it's just about supply and demand; sell it cheap enough so people will buy, and you can still make some Zeny out of a mistake.

BTW, I wouldn't bother making cheap potions (typically red) with empty bottles, unless they are whites or something like that; you can sell your bottles to somebody for 100z with which you can buy 2 reds and a half... or 2 meats and a third which are better than the reds.

[mrwiseman]

since we were talking about selling prices the other day; I'm making a list with all the stuff I get and comparing prices from three online sources and my own experience at Prontera. Since most of us are mid-level, we must be getting about the same items from drops. I'll post a digest of information you might find useful:

(Note: Valod for iRO Chaos. Changes with time, though cheaper or popular items are more stable.)

? If you need to buy items, buy them in the same order.
? Sell any other recovery items (except pending rating, use at your discretion).
? Please post all info you have on Monster's Feed, Milk, Yellow Potion, including good market prices.

lesse i have a Vadon Card and a Drainliner Card, i was an idiot and used the Hydra card i had.... yes im retarded

and my female thief bug card is also on my +6 stilleto &gt;&lt;

i have a damascus unupgraded, im waiting to buy some oridicon lol

i want upgraded damascus, some gloves and such

[mrwiseman]

IRT Cav: Tips on that:

- You can still sell your carded stuff for a lot of money
- I'm a moron too, sold so many items to the NPCs that I could have sold in the market for 2-50 times their price making at least 50000 in loss.
- Best price I've found Oridecon for was 29K last night; buy for no more than 32K.
- Remember you'll need an extra 5K for the upgrade.
- Don't upgrade weapons more than 5 times.
- Upgrading armor at this point is not worth. Hella expensive, shitty effect.

[Cavalier]

aye i can buy meats for 49z, easy and they heal much better than reds, monster feed i find is even better, too bad orange,yellow, and white potions cost so much =__= do i need high Int to use the odeaune card to get cure lvl1??

[mrwiseman]

You should be able to find meat at 42z or 45z too, esp. in Prontera, try near the Butcher.

Don't know about the spell, maybe Xel does.

[Xellos]

You don't need high int for Cure, btu it sucks anywyas. All it does is cure status effects, whicha green herb can do faster.

[Cavalier]

oh i thought it was hp recovery lol


hey wise, i was thinking of using the e-debit thing to pay for teh iRO bill, paybycash.com is that secure?? i just got this checking account i dont want it pilliaged already =/ my card doesnt get here till 15th so i dont wanna wait lmao XP

[mrwiseman]

PayByCash.com should be secure, but why paying an extra $2? Perhaps you can ask your mother for a credit card and give her the money.

Oh and BTW, if you can't, you can try PayPal, it seems to charge $1 less than PayByCash
