This all might be obvious to most veteran EO players, but I still see people
making a lot of simple mistakes in the Market.
Almost everyone`s goal on EO is to gain a lot of EPs, correct? Well, if you
follow these steps, you`ll be sure to slowly build up a nice, big stockpile of
EPs.
First of all, any equipment you find, refined or above, save. I can`t tell
you how many times I`ve seen people just drop their refined equipment like it`s
worthless. Wrong! It`s worth at least one EP towards your collection.
When you find a refined item, go to the Market and make it into a Eudemon
Crystal. I find people are more likely to buy a crystal for EP, rather than
refined equipment. You can sell that crystal for 1 EP. It may not seem like a
lot, but if you keep saving those refined items and selling them, it`ll add
up.
Sell Unique and Elite items for the lowest price you can afford. As for me, I
sell Elites for 20 EP and Uniques for 5 EP (this might only be relevant for the <
LA server). If they have a +number beside them, sell them for maybe... 5 EP
more. If they have a socket, add another 100 EP. If they have a gem, add the
price of the gem in as well.
Another note: EquipmentScrolls are your best friend for boss drops. When you
kill a boss monster (meaning the ones you find with a LVL beside their name),
sometimes you can get quite a hefty drop of equipment and stones/gems. I
guarantee almost all the unidentified equipment you get from that drop will be
Elite.
The identifier in the Market tends to break things when they`re above
refined, so head over to the ShoppingMall and pick up some EquipmentScrolls. For
1 EP each, you`re making a profit if you manage to identify 5 elite items (and
selling each for approx. 20 EP!).
Tips for Peddling
Try to get a spot closest to the top of the market, where all the main
action is. If you can`t get one right at the top, try to get a corner spot near
the top. Location is everything! The cost of gold for the spot you choose is
nothing compared to the action your spot will get.
Side tip: If you don`t usually pick up the gold monsters drop, it`s time to
start! Especially if you`re at a higher level. A good drop from a Yeti will give
you 20k (average of 2500g per pile), so start picking up that gold.
Try to set up shop right before you go out. If you have a job or school, set
up shop before you go. Even do it before you go to bed! The longer your shop is
up, the more you`re likely to sell. Just be aware of daily maintenance and how
much gold you have with you when planning when to leave your shop up.
I hope this guide was helpful and good luck with your EP collection!
