Getting those cha-chings

Balbo zhe Hobbit·6/15/2019 in General Mod Discussion

On a LOTR Server I play on, the general way of getting money was mining, however that has changed quite drastically in the past few months.

It started with the introduction of NPC eggs for purchase in the lobby. They were quite expensive, so you'd have to work your way up to buying them, however once you got one of them you were pretty much set.

Soon after, some guy either invented or stole the idea of 'Troll Grinders'. These produced loads of meat, feathers, bones and more which you could sell for loads of money. This made everybody far more rich (most people had balances of over 100k), and absolutely screwed the economy. But now they are banned.

How should I get my money now?

Brilliant idea, sir.

In all seriousness though, does anybody have any suggestions for innovative ways to get lots of cash?

Orc skirmishes in Dol Guldur give arrows, flesh and coins, an lots of them.

Massive farms are good if you can AFK, otherwise get a blessed pick and collect coral to sell

The coral on this server is all but mined out. Thanks for the idea though. And I would keep an eye out for those orc skirmishes, only the troll grinders have left my evil alignment in ruins.

Id say selling wheat. Though buyers are few, combined with bones from Skirmishes in Mordor, you have an infinite amount of wheat. And Mordor Tents are everywhere, so chances are, a few minutes of searcging will get you all the buyers you need

If you can buy traders, I think yams sell well to the Morewaith. I've never tried that though. Melons work well with dorwinion traders, but the trade is really rare.

How is the coral all but mined out? There is legit ridiculously large miles of coastline to mine.

If you have any alignment with Near Harad, you can create a crud load of Poison Bottles and sell them to the traders there for a decent amount of coin. I made a few thousand on a server that way.
