Re: [Audyssey] alter aeon gold advice

I've actually read all of the articles on the site. My 
braillenote can't play the game (which is really annoying) but 
the articles and tralling through the site is a decent 
tide-me-over. As far as steal goes, I usually use pickpocket due 
to a lack of practices, though I should be able to pick up 
another one today and start training that.

From: Dennis Towne That's good to hear, not many people bother reading the articles, 
and
there's a lot of good information in them.  One thing not 
mentioned is
that explorer points (which were added fairly recently) are a 
pretty
big source of gold, on par with getting gold from quests.  I 
believe

that thief steal is still the largest gold producer though.

Re: [Audyssey] alter aeon gold advice

2011-09-30 Thread Dennis Towne
John,

When it comes to gold, the thing to remember is that the server is
adaptive - gold shifts around from place to place, and if any one area
is run for gold too much the amount of gold in it automatically drops.

There are a couple of articles on the Alter Aeon web site that talk
about gold.  The first article might be able to give you ideas on
things to try; the second article is much more technical, and talks
about how the server manages gold internally:

http://www.alteraeon.com/articles/how_do_i_get_gold.html

http://www.alteraeon.com/articles/gold-balancing-in-mmos.html

Generally when I play, I don't bother to gold farm.  For me, it's more
fun to sell equipment on auction and trade with other players and let
them farm the gold.  Not everyone likes to do that though, and it
takes both sides.

Good luck!
