Recently, I received ~25 e-mails asking for tips, most of them during this week. I don't know why I got targeted specifically, though some of the addresses looked familiar compared to all of the requests for further help from people that read my FreQuency and .hack guides.

Anyway, most of these requests have been for tips on getting money. As such a thread will benefit many more than me replying to e-mails (I hate my mailbox SO much <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />), let's just run a thread with money-making tips.

=====START TIP=====
For myself, I use the regeneration of BF merchants and a single skill to create infinite money. First thing you need to do is, in the Act I battlefields, but Lv. 3 Convert Arrows: Splitting (I think. It may be exploding. Not at my PC right now.) and train three skill points for one character (or 2 and use a doll for an arrow mule). Next, but every normal arrow you can. With Lv. 3 convert, I believe I was getting 10% conversion (1000 normal = 100 splitting). The beauty of this is the fact that, say, 1000 normal arrows costs 1000g, but the 100 splitting arrows, selling at 93g each, returning 9300g. Now leave and return to the BF. The merchants have more arrows. If you keep this up, you'll never have money problems.
===== END TIP =====

Anyone else have any tips for making money?

Why would people need help getting money? Since the merchant refresh change getting money has not exactly been a problem. Even without pickpocket. If they fixed the weight problems so I can actually carry more then a couple items at a time, it will be even easier.

Aye, I finished the game with close to 300,000 gold and that is with no Pickpocketing, and several times of De-training and re-training. Gold is not a problem and seems fine to satisfy everyone. You can't buy the high cost items early in the game anyways, because you will not have the stats to equip them.

Don't ask me, I just created the thread because I've been getting too many help requests. I haven't even completed act one (for the 10th time) and I'm already breaking 50K without converting arrows or pickpocketing, though this is after I've bought and charmed new gear. But, some people just have a harder-than-normal time (different play methods, very wasteful, etc.) and I thought the topic might help.
