ok so im relatively new here
im really short on gold and see a couple items i would like to own but are far out of my reach

just wondering if i could get some tips on good ways to get gold quick
not asking for free gold (though it is greatly accepted and appreciated lol) but more so a way to earn it myself

I'm not personally aware of quickly acquiring gold. The only thing I know to suggest is to play games (Word Bump, Electric Love Faktori, Jigsaw) and to be relatively active in forums and post. C:

Use your aquarium. The Daily Chance will often give you fish, and if you put them in your aquarium, they'll get really happy. Once they are happy, the Overseer will give you items and gold, and sometimes the items can sell for 2000 gold or more... My sister got some Raptor Horns from the Overseer that sold back to the shops for a little over 6000 gold. As if that wasn't awesome enough, when your fish inevitably die, they give you items that will randomly give you a certain item. For every dead Goldfish, you get an item that sells for over 200 gold, and you may get the Goldfish Scarf, which sells for over 15000 gold.

So get some fish, feed them daily, and watch the gold pile up.

For someone new the FAQ is difficult to understand (part about market place), but once you get it, it's really worth it. To summarize it... buy low and sell high (starting with cheap items and going over to expensive ones).

When I was new, I found fishing to be a good way to earn gold fairly quickly. It costs 100 for a fishing pole, and 25 each for grade F bait. You can catch 15 fish or trash items. As long as you stick to Bassken Lake, you should be able to earn some gold fast. If you feel confident in your skills, you can venture to the other fishing spots and try for more expensive fish.

you could always sell stuff you no longer need.

I find talking to others in forums,guilds,profile mgs etc is the best way to earn money.When u eventually save up a large lump of money, invest it in a MC(Monthly Collectable) or an evolving iteam.Over time these iteams will increase in value.After a while they'll be worth alot and u can sell them off for a profit.

Hope that helps! wink
