Sometimes I look at the amount of adena that some players possess and, excluding people who buy it, wonder how they became so wealthy. So I thought it might be worth a post or three for people to explain the various money-making strategies they've used.
I'm thinking the posts should focus on the following areas:
1. Best hunting spots for money/drops organized by level.
2. Enchanting (What to enchant? How high? Zel vs. Bzel? Dai vs. BDai?)
3. Crafting
4. Collecting (materials for crafting)
5. Bosses
I think if more players learned how to make money, they'd be less tempted to cheat and buy it and we might see a reduction in the number of bots.

1. Best hunting spots for money/drops organized by level.
- currently i just hunt for frags/bscrolls when i wana make money
2. Enchanting (What to enchant? How high? Zel vs. Bzel? Dai vs. BDai?)
- i never blow anything worth over 10m, i usualy sell all my zel/bzel/bdai when i can
3. Crafting
- I usualy make things if i get enough resources from gambling like sedo or what not
4. Collecting (materials for crafting)
- gambling gems
5. Bosses
- I check what I can when i can, charms was my major income from bosses and other times im just lucky w/ big drops like that +5mp regen ammy which i sold for 140m(from lastavard 2f box)
usualy i hunt places where the drops are going to make the most money, i made close to 300m in items when Lastavard first came out, and that glove was like -3ac which was selling for 20~30m each
now they only come out to 2m~
Other things is i dont use any of my res/braves/wisdom/ghaste/nhaste/sosc, i save em all up and sell em to the store when I level up for a good profit. (ghastes and res i sell to the oum cave place) (braves and wis i have to sell to werldern now)
I hunt ToS and with 150 orange potions I get like 1-2 frags which is 400k each rite now in like 20-30minutes
Other major thing is when i leveld my DE, i always healed it, it never had to use potions, that is HUGE savings.
On a side note, i had set up my shop last nite to sell my zels dais and bzels[4]
made 8m just like that.
But the key is, to hunt ALOT, and stop wasting your time standing in town chatting/dueling (sure its fun now and then, but try to keep your self hunting and chatting rather then standing in town and cahtting.
The other thing is i ALWAYS buy my items at a cheaper then normal market price and sell at a high price :P ~ it takes patiences, but hey it pays off!

Sk8s number one money making
Sk8s number one money making hint that I could possibly give you is a good team....
Face it, its an MMO, the absolute best way to get the most out of it is to have a good team.
Success is all about organization and understanding. Everyone has to be on the same page to make sure all hunts go as smooth and as well as possible. More hunting during the same time frame = more kills = more drops.
Build your team of people equal to your 'skill level' so that you are always on the same page as them during the hunt and there is less confusion and order barking. Make sure everyone knows there intended role and performs it.
And I can not stress enough how much more important 'skill level' is over character level, of the player.
I could never begin to count how many high level players I know... But I can count on one hand how many high level characters I know that actually use their character to its fullest because they know its limits and continually push them to their advantage. Character level isnt everything, its a factor, but its not the most important factor. Ive seen so many 55s outperform 65s, so many 52s outperform 55s. (52 is kind of the low limit due to swing speed, however there are sub 50 mages that can outperform 50+ ones, just because they know what they are doing.)
Its all about the team, and teamwork. Every single step along the way to get where I am now was built on a team behind me. And I would be no where without my team. All of that correlates back to the wealth you desire.

I think new players should
I think new players should hunt monsters that drop iron and mithril. The best areas seem to be Southeast of Silver Knight Town, where gnolls and hobgoblins are present, and Southwest of Ivory Tower Town, where the gnolls and dwarf packs spawn. However, they need to be careful with the packs building up.
Iron and mithril are always easily sold and useful for the new player.
Lizardmen in the desert are decent too, since I remember them dropping a lot of jewels that could either be sold or gambled in the Caves north of Oren.
I have to put more thought into the mid-level ranges, say from 25-45. Elmores are good because they offer good experience and drops. But if there was something they could hunt that was likely to drop enchant scrolls without getting killed, I'd recommend that.
IT is great for farming!
IT is great for farming! Good spot for making sure money as a mid-level character. Lots of Jewels, Lots of Iron, and the rare B2s and BBS. Good spot for lvling pets too. Just over the weekend during event I have 2k in ojs and reds from hunting IT5.
