$100,000 a hour

I came across a post somewhere in the forums where a player made the offhand claim that they could make $100,000 per hour in TMW. I decided to put the theory to test. As a warrior I'm a little slower than a ranger would be... but in this case the real problem was how fast monsters spawned.

Tarq usually kills red slimes in a couple of stabs. In about 18 minutes he'd collected a variety of items that ended up selling for $12,000. It's not $100,000, but it is around $65,000. If I had of held out there may have been a ruby in there pushing the value up more. But my kills relied on uninterrupted time and you almost never have that when killing red slimes.

Self-inflicted adventure, my robe quest...

I've imposed a self-inflicted quest, to get a robe of every colour! As you all may know it takes 150 cocoons for 1 robe. So far I've collected enough for 4 robes. Collecting cocoons has a side benefit of collecting herbs. I collect in the forest north-east of Hurnscald where the silkworms are really plentiful, so are the herbs and the squirrels which drop herbs. Some nights I can collect a lot of cocoons, other nights are slower, so I concentrate on hunting herbs too.



I recently gave a player 13 mushrooms, so I set a secondary quest to replace them. The going for mushrooms is slow, only 2 collected, but I'm up to another 75 cocoons, half way to the next robe.

One of my problems is that I haven't been generating money. In fact I've been spending it on the dyes (dark blue/black are not dirt cheap). So now I'm concentrating on the cheap dyes for the next batch... then I'll head to the snow town and hunt some bats for cash.
