Thank you all for Reminding me why it's best not to post anything on EF.

Everyone knows what the professions are and the risks/rewards involved with each. There is no new info here that will help anyone over the long run.

Now you want some real advice on how to profit in EU? Here you go.....

1. Skills are money in the bank. Try to keep your skills value higher than what you put into the game. Use This Tool to determine your skills value. If you ever do decide to deposit do not deposit until you have that deposit covered in skills.

2. When you hit a big claim or loot buy something that you believe will hold value or go up over time. Upgrade your armor or mining equipment, buy an apartment but "lock up" some of that ped into the long term value of your avatar. Have fun with the rest

3. Set daily loss/spending limits. Face it. Some days, weeks, months just suck ass. No matter what you do you are going to lose. Today I am only going to lose 100 ped or this week I am only going to spend 500 ped, whatever. Set your limit and stick to it. If things are going bad change it up but don't keep going thinking the next mob or bomb is a HOF. Go sweat-hunt naked with a noob for a day or two and skill up a bit. Ped will last a lot longer when you are in a rut.

4. Dont think you are going to get rich quick. Sure some do. You see noob mobs HOFing and Towers with TT finders. Good for them! For the other 99.9% of us it's either deposit a shitload and have fun or work your ass off sweating and skilling to get ahead. So be it. If you learn the game, have fun, and never let your avatar value fall below what you put in you are profiting. It may be a small profit at first but eventually something will hit (see 2).

I could go on and on as to what to do as a real non depositing noob but that is a whole new thread. I only deposited $25 and am very pleased with the current value of my avatar. It's a long hard grind from the start but with discipline, time and patience making a profit in EU is very doable.

This is about as accurate as it gets...

Agreed, My ava is the value of what I have deposited, actually more thanks to appreciation. Then count game knowledge onto that as well. All adds up, just have to play smart.

and you still missed the main style of trading where you make the easyest profits

don't worry savek, look at my rep and see that this forum is full of some frustrated losers. I stopped posting here cos people are really fuckt here. The so called "community" is a bunch of hypocrites and maybe the whole idea of the game based on real money seems interesting but it also attracts this wrong type of people and brings what's worst in them out and this forum is proof of that.
+rep for u buddy, not that ur ideas were anything new but just to balance the negs u got.
and for the rest of you smart asses bug off with ur useless comments and neg me as much as u want ... like i care

Why haven't this thread been locked yet? There's so many other threads like this, and no, I can't say he made any effort making this thread because he could just had looked up all the other threads and pasted it in here. This is a really unessesary thread and it makes people in a bad mood, myself for example. There's no more to discuss in this thread from my point of view.
