9Dragon making money guide
This is Thepowerlevel.
There are some levels at which I find it easier to make money than other levels in 9Dragon. So I am gonna post them here. Keep in mind that this is mainly for things that you can do alone not stuff that you can do with a party or group of friends. if you are interested in it .just look through.Hopefully the article can help you. I believe you will learn something from it.
From Opening Chi 1 to Raising Light 12, monsters have a chance of dropping Revolving Chakra relics.
From Losing Self 1 to Opening Chi 12, monsters have a chance of dropping Level 1 Elixirs
Opening Chi 12
Fight Bears in Shi Zhang/Zhengzhou. They drop Revolving Chakra level weapons which can be NPCed for a fair amount of money at your level. You can also keep activating the Heroic Quest every 10 minutes for an additional 500 gold. Once you reach Revolving Chakra 1, you can no longer do this quest. A new one appears but it takes 30 minutes and it isn't worth it.
From Revolving Chakra 1 to Five Dragons 12, monsters have a chance of dropping Lightfoot Tomes.
From Revolving Chakra 1 to Raising Light 12, monsters have a chance of dropping Level 2 Elixirs
Revolving Chakra 4-Five Dragons1?
In your clan base, there should be a Knife of White Shadow on the map. He has a low chance of dropping a Black Iron Trinket. You can sell it for a decent amount of money.
Revolving Chakra 12+
In Shi Zhang/Zhengzhou, there are Superior Giants, Drunken Swordsmen, Iron Flowers, and Bai Wu Chang. They all drop Passes to DeathValley. Some players may offer you 20k for one, but it can be worth far much more. I recommend you look in Hefei for the prices. The passes can drop at any level so you can come back at Immortal level and still pummel the mobs for pass drops.
Drunken Swordsmen - Purple Pass
Superior Giant - Green Pass
Bai Wu Chang - Red Pass
Iron Flower - Purple Pass
Heartless Iron Flower - Green Pass
Frozen Iron Flower - Red Pass
Raising Light 3
By this time, you should have all the items necessary to complete the "Conqueror of Death Valley" collection quest. Get any 2 level 2 elixirs besides strength. You will get strength level 2 from a quest later. Do not drink these if you want to make some money later on. If you need to drink elixirs, its best to drink [Dungeon] type elixirs since those cannot be used for collection quests.
Raising Light 12
In Datong there is a special quest mob known as Cursed Lightning, the Depraved Monk. He has a very small chance of dropping Passes to Tian Yin Palace. He also drops half of the collection items for the coin collection. The Passes to Tian Yin Palace can be saved for the Floral Crown 7 to Floral Crown 12 party quest for white clans. Unfortunately I don't think Cursed Lightning, the Depraved Monk is available for white clans.
From Five Dragons 1 to Golden Blossoms 12, mobs have a chance of dropping Five Dragons relics.
From Five Dragons 1 to Sun and Moon 12, mobs have a chance of dropping Level 3 Elixirs.
Five Dragons 6
In Conqueror's Cave 1, you can find Blade of Black Shadow and Heavenly Claw of White Shadow. They both drop Black Iron Trinkets which you can sell for a good amount of money. They can also drop a ring, but those are pretty awful and not worth that much.
Five Dragons 12
In Datong/Jinan, there are Blind ____ Demons. They all drop Passes to the Valley of Hell. They are worth more than Passes to Death Valley since no one farms them. It is extremely difficult for most players to farm them and some players just skip these monsters as well. No specific mob drops a specific color (thanks for info dndhatcher). It is easy for caster types to farm since they can fight red difficulty enemies fairly easy at this level.
Also, in Conquerer's Cave 1 Postern, the Infantry drops 50 damage wristbands. You can sell them fairly easy to other players for some extra money. Conquerer's Cave also produces more blood essence from monsters than other places. Be warned though, PKers tend to wander around Conquerer's Cave 1 so you might get PKed. You also need to get Conqueror's Herbs from the chests outside in Blood Plains in order to be able to enter Conqueror's Cave and grind inside. Selling Conqueror's Herbs is a nice way to make quick cash but there are some problems with that.
From Sun and Moon on, monsters have a chance of dropping Advanced Meditation and Steps Tomes.
Sun and Moon 4
By this time you should be able to complete your "Conqueror of Valley of Hell" collection quest. If you had saved the 2 level 2 elixirs from the "Conqueror of Death Valley" collection quest, and the level 2 strength elixir from the quest, you should have all the level 2 elixirs. If you can get your hands on 5 Blood Essence, you can trade it in for a Wan Daye's Raising Light weapon. It may not be much use to you now, but if you get a Sword or Saber, you can sell it for a lot of money. Considering that you got all the elixirs for free, its pretty good.
WARNING: The price of Blood Essence has increased dramatically so it is not be profitable to do this anymore. However, you can still do this for yourself.
Sun and Moon 7?
Around the Golden Blossoms level, there are 2 quests which give you level 3 elixirs. You get level 3 essence and level 3 constitution elixirs. if you get 2 of the other elixirs from the Golden Coins and Beast Clan collections, you will have 4 of the level 3 elixirs. Then if you can get your hands on the last one and some blood essence, you can trade it in for Wan Daye's Five Dragons weapon. It's worth about twice to three times as much as the Raising Light weapon. Again, swords and sabers are worth the most but it might be more profitable to just sell the elixirs and blood essence seperately.
Sun and Moon 7-12
In Hangzhou/Nanchang, there is a repeatable party quest available for them. You can keep redoing it for some quick exp and a small amount of gold each time. It adds up so I recommend you do it if you want quick cash. However, in the long run, farming mobs for items will give you more money than the quest does.
Sun and Moon 8
In Conqueror's Cave 2 near one of the Forbidden Fist of Wu Tang spawns, you can find Ghostly Claw of Black Shadow. He can drop a Black Iron Trinket. It isn't that great but it still helps and is fairly useful to some people still.
Sun and Moon 12
In Conquerer's Cave 2, there are Heavy Infantry. They drop 50 damage wristbands supposedly (I have not gotten one from them myself yet). They have a extremely low chance of dropping the high end pills (Red Glob, Blue Glob, Yellow Glob) at this level but they are much rarer than collectibles and blood essence. They also have a small chance of dropping keys for the chests on that floor.
Iron Hammer Vanguards can drop Beast Clan Passes. They tend to mob and it could get quite dangerous depending on which map you are on. This is the earliest you can start farming them.
If you think you can handle orange difficulty monsters, there are Tiger Rider Vanguards in Hangzhou/Nanchang. They are orange at Sun and Moon 12 but they drop Beast Clan Passes of all colors and level 4 elixirs. They also drop weapons up to the low elemental crown levels.
Somewhere for the white clans, there should be some form of Vanguard mob that starts dropping Passes to Tian Yin Palace as well. Farm them because you will need them or can sell them later for more cash.
From Golden Blossoms 12 to Elemental Crown 12, mobs have a chance of dropping Level 4 Elixirs.
Golden Blossoms 1
At this level you can pretty much solo Choice of Fate by yourself unless you are a Nuker. Warriors might have a bit of trouble but they should still be able to do it in time. If not get a healer. Either farm passes so you can do runs and sell the loot OR you can bring lower levels through the Choice of Fate for them so that they can get the Conquerer of Death Valley Epithet on the condition that you get to keep whatever the boss drops. This way not only do you save yourself passes to death valley and get yourself the Killer of Meng Mian/Shuan Mian Epithet but you also get to sell the loot that the boss drops. If you happen to get 2 slot speed shirt or pants, that could be a lot of money right there.
Coin Mansion/Wild Tower Clothing
I did not know where I should put this, but I decided to put it here since this is when you can get the passes off of normal mobs. If you are on a server where there are a lot of FC5+, you can try to trade them some Passes to Tian Yin Palace or Passes of Beast Clan in order to get Coin Mansion and Wild Tower Clothing. You will have to fork over a decent amount of passes if you want something good like 4 pocket stuff. Don't expect to get something for less than 3 passes. If you want 4 pocket stuff, you will probably need 20 or more passes. Now, if you are VERY desperate for money, you can try to sell those clothes, otherwise you should try to keep them for your own personal use.
I recommend you try to get them in this order.
Shirt - 150 hp/ve, 5% critical damage, 4 pockets
Pants - 100 hp/ve, 50 dodge, 4 pockets
Shoes - 20% speed
Optional:
Hat - 1/1000 ve drain. good for everyone except nuker. warrior is better with 1/1000 hp drain.
Wristbands - 100 hp/ve
Backpack - no bonus stats
Golden Blossoms 4
Near the Shaolin Polearm mobs and the hermit in Conqueror's Cave 3, is another boss. Unfortunately, he only drops a Black Iron Trinket still. He is weaker than the Shaolin Polearms so he isn't that strong.
Golden Blossoms 6-11
In Conquerer's Cave 3, there are a type of monsters called Glaivemen. There are quite a large number of them there and they can drop 100 damage wristbands. And because it is Conquerer's Cave, there is a pretty good chance for Blood Essence drops. The moment you hit Golden Blossoms 12, they turn light blue so it becomes harder to get drops from them. They also have a small chance of dropping the keys used for the chests on that floor.
If you train on Glaivemen in the hallways, you should keep an eye out for the defense trinket boss (Vicious Fist the Blood Lord). Many players tend to camp the boss so it is difficult to get it now. There are also some Patriot Monuments for you to break. They have an extremely low chance of dropping gold, blood essence, relics, and collectibles.
Golden Blossoms 12
In Hangzhou there are Wyvern Bears. They can drop passes to the beast clan. The black clans have to be extremely careful in Hangzhou because the Necromancer boss spawns nearby so there is a high probably of being attacked by him. If you do train there, there are some strong mobs which are still red to you. You need to be careful of those since they can deal heavy damage to you. Nanchang should have some form of equivalent mob from which you can farm Passes to Tian Yin Palace.
From Elemental Crown 1 to ???, mobs have a chance of dropping Elemental Crown relics.
Elemental Crown 1-5
Near the Brotherhood Spears, the floating swords, and the secret chest is a spawn point for another boss. He is strong if you are still at the low ECs so you should mob up on him with some other people your level. He has a extremely low chance of dropping several different relics of which 2 are remotely useful.
Elemental Crown 7-12
There is a party quest that you can do for both white clans and black clans. You need to buy the correct scroll from the scroll merchant in Hefei and have a party of at least 4 people who are within these levels as well. It is the quickest way to level up from Elemental Crown 7 to 12. Each time you do the quest you get 10000 gold and 90000 exp and it takes about 10 minutes to do it once if you have a decent party. The quest mobs spawn every 10 minutes or so. In addition, you can grind with the EC7+ mobs nearby and get more Passes of Tian Yin Palace and Beast Clan Passes. The monsters for the quest also have a chance of dropping Beast Clan Passes. This is the last opportunity for you to hunt for these passes while grinding as well.
From Floral Crown 1 to ???, mobs have a chance of dropping Level 5 Elixirs.
Elemental Crown 12
In Conquerer's Cave 4 near the Vagabond, there are some enemies called Bodyguard of General Wei. They have area attacks and have strong physical defense, but they drop 150 damage wristbands and drop level 5 elixirs. They can cause huge area of effect bleed and silence so watch out.
In the middle of the hallway between the Vagabond and the opposite end, the EC boss that drops the relic spawns here sometimes too. Keep your eye out for it.
Floral Crown 5+
At the end of Conquerer's Cave 4 near the entrance to Conquerer's Cave 5 is General Wei. He drops anywhere from 2 to 10 blood essence each time he is killed. He has a chance of dropping 300 damage wristbands and 15% critical weapons along with some nice relics. He is extremely powerful and at least 2 people is recommended to bring down.
Also, near General Wei's spawn point is a special monument. You can break it and it will always drop something. It's pretty tough so you will need to beat on it for a while before it goes down. Usually, you only get a herb and some gold, but it can drop relics and blood essence too. The Messengers of General Wei can disrupt nerve so watch out for them.
Crimson Snake
At some point during the Crimson Snake levels you can fight in the Frozen Sea. They are a lot stronger but they have much better drops. Most of the mobs there drop level 6 elixirs and Golden Lotus weapons.
Crimson Snake 8+
At this point True General Wei becomes a lot easier to kill. He has a chance of dropping 300 dmg wristbands, tons of blood essence, 30% critical weapons and even Wan Daye weapons. However he is very tough and only the side that won Black vs White can fight him. After the fight, everyone in the area can break the jars for chances of high level elixirs and such.
Alternative, Opening Chi 7+
Look on your map for a heroic quest. Heroic quests are repeatable and will give you a reward even if you don't make the ranking. Some lasts for only 10 minutes, other lasts for as much as an hour. Some of the quests will time how long it takes you to kill a certain number of mobs. You can't do this with those quests since you actually have to go kill them. If you are not a warrior, you can train your skills while doing this.
Alternative, Raising Light+
Or if you want to be a bit mean, you can just hunt down every boss you possibly can for blood essence. At Raising Light you can begin doing bosses in Shi Zhang/Zhengzhou. At Golden Blossoms you can do just about every boss in Datong/Jinan. At Floral Crown you can do every boss in Hangzhou/Nanchang. No matter what, always try to bring a healer. Even if you are a healer, you should bring another healer. Bosses also have a small chance of dropping elixirs.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If there is more than a 24 level difference between you and the boss, you will be debuffed and stunned for 5 minutes so do not attack them if you are more than 24 levels higher than them.
Shi Zhang/Zhengzhou Bosses (except Wild Hands) - Level 2 Elixirs (Raising Light 6 or so is when you can farm all except Wild Hands, he needs low Five Dragons)
Datong/Jinan Bosses (except Nameless, Shen Mo, Snake Coiled Beauty and Blade Witch) - Level 4 Elixirs (Huge level variations here from low FD to high SM)
Datong/Jinan Bosses (Snake Coiled Beauty, Nameless, and Blade Witch) - Level 5 Elixirs (Golden Blossoms 1 is a good level to try to fight them)
Nanchang/Hangzhou Bosses - Level 5 Elixirs (Golden Blossoms 12 or Elemental Crown 7 and you can farm most of the bosses)
Liaodong Bosses - Level 6 Elixirs (Crimson Snake 4 or so is a good level to farm)
Frozen Sea - Level 7 and Level 8 Elixirs (Not implemented in our version yet)
Alternative, Any Level
Go to Hefei and spend your time looking for under priced items. Buy low and sell high. It takes a lot of time and effort to do this but you can do it to earn lots of money.
My Good Finds so far
4 Pocket HD Female Shirt, 120 durability - 300k
Bad Karma EC Con Relic - 1.5 mil
Bad Karma EC Con Relic - 2.5 mil
Red Glob - 300k
Alternative, Herb Farming
Go to Bloody Plains and break chests and get herbs. Go to Hefei and sell them for money. You will get PKed and you will get high levels chasing you down if you are low level. Do not sell on your main character because you will be labeled as an herb farmer. Some people will kill you on sight for this. Instead, make another character and transfer herbs from your main character to the new character and have them sell it then transfer the money back to your main character. Since Liaodong and Frozen Sea was released, not as many players visit Conqueror's Cave anymore so herbs are no longer worth that much.
