{EMC Money Tips} How to make Rupees on EMC!

Discussion in 'Marketplace Discussion' started by finch_rocks_1, Jul 12, 2016.

  1. Hey EMC,

    This is something people come to me asking for a lot, so i thought i would make a small thread on a few ways to make cash, and if all goes well, I will release more ways to make cash on the same thread...

    Also, Too lazy to make the thread all Jazzy looking with different colors and sizes and all haha. I will also add screens for examples later...

    This thread will review topics from Promo's, Items (Bulk and Normal), and a few smalls.... And if all goes well, even Builds....

    Promo's

    Many know you can make money off promo's but the way I do it, I am able to obtain more than the average person. Here is how you can as well...

    As the server is located in the USA, look for the Holiday's. This will help so much, as you will have an idea when the promos come out, From there you will want to set aside a Large Amount to an alt, or just try not to use it on your account.

    When you know the holidays, you can now look on the wiki and see the promo items that usually release, and you will see a pattern that you can use to anticipate what type of item will come out.... For example, Easter, will be the Egg Wand... New Years, are Promos... Very basic and straight forward.( Don't buy fireworks, its fine to buy 1-3, but they don't sell for that much as there are just too many and useless)


    If there is an holiday that you know will be an item, say a Suit, Sword, or any tools, try to start saving up for the items up to a month before time...

    That means not going to the mall, and buying a DC of Fish, or DC of Quartz Blocks....

    Now that the promo has come out, You will want to buy as many as you can.... and store the items in your storage in an area you wont be tempted to go in to get the items out of and sell...

    Best way is to make a Vault, and store all your proms in there, so they are in their own room and out of the way...

    Now that you have the Items, you have to play the waiting game... I Would suggest keeping these items for at least a Year, or more if you want. That way you will get the most profit from it instead of selling in the first few months...

    I myself sometimes keeps the promos for up to 2.5 years, and by then I have made up to 40x the cost of what i bought them for back then....

    Items!


    For Items, This will cover 3 Topics, "Bulk" and "Non-Bulk" and "Saving".

    Bulk Items

    For Bulk Items, You can easily make a ton of money if you are doing it proper.... If you want to sell items in Bulk, you have to be able to sell the items that you are able to obtain in a fast and efficient manner.... That means if you are good at farming, Make sure to sell farm goods, and not, say Quartz Blocks...

    Then there is the fact that you have to look for what sells and what people are looking for. A good way to do this, is to ask around, ask mall owners, make threads...

    When you start to do this, you will want to advertise, and do it for personal, or get in with a Shop/Mall and do bulk orders to supply the shops...

    One issue that most fail at this, is the fact of when they get swamped with orders... Try to have a ton of stock at hand, so you are able to fill small orders fast and work on the large orders.

    A good tip is to also have a Max amount of orders that can be filled at once, and all other orders past that would be on hold and not filled yet until it is in that limit, that way you are not swamped and people can still back out if they wish.

    N0n-Bulk Items

    If you want to sell just items, but don't have a ton of items, don't bother with a shop on your res, work on looking at malls and shops to see what is out of stock, and what sells fast. You will also want to look at what makes the cash and what does not.... for example, you can sell colored wool, instead of seeds... You will get a better profit.

    Saving

    Saving is a Trick thing to do, but it can work if you do it right... Say you have Diamonds, instead of selling or using, You can hold onto those diamonds and wait until the diamond market is at a high point, or when, say a mall is running low and they buy for a high price...

    I have done this with many items, and has worked for me, to make a ton of money.... so again this one is more or less not advised as it is very tricky to do and if you do it wrong you can loose a ton of cash....

    Voting

    Voting is a quick way to earn cash, and not just items, If you vote daily you can earn up to 300k+ in rupees in just a year, not including the items (Diamonds, emeralds, Vouchers)....

    When you obtain a voucher, hold onto that voucher and wait until someone is looking for one as you will make more money then if you just sell it... Again something small that makes more cash...

    Builds

    Coming Soon!

    I will update with more info and screens later...

    Let me know how this is, all this can be verified as i have done this to make a ton of cash....

  3. Nice guide :) I know when I first joined I started with small jobs here and there, then I started building farms in the wild. It takes lots of work but it's well worth it now.

  6. Hey Finch. Gotta ask, you have been on the server since 2012 and you are promoting that you know how to make rupees. I think it begs the question, how much you got. I would estimate based on the amount of time you have been here it should be in the neighborhood of about 40-50 million? Maybe more since you would have gotten some of the older, more valuable promos. If your an expert, show your credentials.
  7. TBH, I am not one for sharing, but I do spend millions on my builds, as i dont like to have a ton of rupee's there... For example I would rather have a very nice looking res like 12845 then having 2 mill, you know what I mean?

    But, I do have enough to build what ever I want, and i dont keep it all on one account...

    I also spend a lot on certain promos, like the 100k member promos, I have 2 DC's of the mineral mincers, and a DC of all the other items....

    Also, at any given time I have up to 10 mill in blocks in Chest Forum at any given time i can sell items to make cash...

  8. One thing you might have left out is have multiple alts. Especially for promos. And another thing you didn't mention is voting. Great thing to do particularly if you have more than one alt. How many alts do you have Finch?

  10. 5 accounts - 4 alts one main, they are shown at 12731...
  11. In many peoples opinion, asking this question is to me is just annoying, I cannot stand when players ask me this or other players, A player should not have to show you how many rupees they have in order for them to give tips out to players, They don't have to prove anything at all. I'm not targeting just you, I'm talking to a lot of the community that asks these types of questions. Just cause someone gives them tips on how to many rupees doesn't mean they need to show the currency in public. Now, to my official post about this thread, All these tips are very very useful and i recommend using these tips as it has made me gain a lot of money on emc, Although i'm not very smart with my money, But at the long run of it i do make a profit. I just spent 810k on liberty swords and maybe gonna spend another 810k on them for resale in the future. I guess my point is, I would use this guide if i was a nub:) Thanks finch for posting this wonderful guide!
  12. I also agree
  13. Well written guide :)


    Thanks finch :)
  14. I have a small addition for this, hopefullly its usable.

    First: Don't let yourself get demotivated from any malls on your server. A mall, and even one which is quick to restock, doesn't mean you won't be able to make any money on your own. Someone asks "does anyone sell.... ?" and then you go: "Yes, my shop here: /v xxxx".

    There are tons of farms out there, and many people seem to believe that without farm access you won't make any money. Sure? What about those items which you cannot farm? You know: coal (blocks), ore blocks, lapis, quartz (especially this!), diamonds? There will always be players who need a certain block but don't want to get it themselves. And there's profit to be made there.

    Better yet: if you mine these then you'll also have plenty of options to obtain extra XP. And that can be used to enchant or repair stuff, optionally for others (profit!).

    About those promos: A very nice strategy (IMO) is the EMC time capsule event. We burried some promos in there, I roughly know which ones, but even so: it makes no difference because I can't get to them no matter what :)

    Just my 2 cents :)
  15. Any Suggestions on if I should Add the Build Section to this and a few other sections to make quick money?
  16. You should add shearing sheep and selling wool. A lot of shops seem to always be out of wool and you can easily get 100-200r for just a few minutes work
