World More Entertaining Ways To Gain Money

There are lots of ways to gain money and emeralds. You can go diving in the reefs to trade in treasure, you can grind, and more! But some of the ways are boring and some are not fit for some players. You should add more ways to earn money!

Spoiler: Black Market

Idea by: @Obey Me . I'm quoting his exact words
Criminal Activity:
The Black Market
- The Black Market, the Heart and very Soul of criminal activity in wynn. The Black Market is a system that sells drugs, poached items, illegal weapons, and even as far as illegal pets or slaves. In the Black Market, you can sell anything seen below. The Black Market would look and appear like a normal market, selling and buying certain types of items from different stands or allyways. For example, there could be a Drug merchant that is only located in the Cinfras black market, where you can sell a supply of drugs to him. The player would have to grind, or find any items in order to make money in the Black Market.
Black market locations:
Almuj [Allyways, Behind a waterfall]
Cinfras [Current black market]
Eltom [Cave area]
Elfim [Its a city full of stoners, what the fuck do you expect]
Corkus City [Perhaps some shady individuals in the city]
Marcos Peaks [Markets can be found in caves]

Types of Dealers / Merchants:
Drug Merchants
Poachers
Illegal Weapons Merchant
Passport Forger [Only Sells]
Illegal Documents Salesmen
Human Trafficking

Poaching
- Poaching is the act of killing animals for resources, such is Ivory, that would be later sold to the Black Market. In game, people would be able to kill, possibly extinct animals, for items [Avia feathers, Ocelot tails, Hide / Skin, Souls, Pink Wool, Etc] That could be sold to Black Market Merchants [Specifically Poachers] for a ____ ammount of Emeralds. The rarity of the obtained items depends on how much its able to go for, meaning the Rarer / more endangered a species is or the rarer the drop is, the more emeralds its able to go for. Ranging from 15eb for pink wool, to about 32eb for Avia feathers. Problem with poaching is that your life is at risk any time you try and find any items. But "Ohh junk merchants exist this will never be added" an individual might say. Certain, possibly more rare items, could be sold for more to a black market poacher. And there might be other things a Junk Merchant might not be able to buy, such as Avia Feathers, and things that Poachers wont even want to buy, such as Rotting human fleash or Spider Eyes. Poaching can be done without doing a quest.
Black Markets with Poachers (Location):
Almuj [Buys Ocelot Tails, sells Ocelot armor]
Corkus City [Buying Avia Feathers]
Cinfras [Buys Volt Horns, Hide / Skins from any mobs]

Drug Merchants and Junkies
- Drug merchants, if it isnt already obvious by its name, are people who sell drugs. Junkies are people who are willing to buy and use drugs. The player would be able to farm for drugs [Such as bluecap shrooms, the staple of wynn drugs] and sell them, transport drugs [meaning you buy drugs from a person who makes or farms the drugs, such as mushrooms, bootleg alcohol, and some sorta wynncraft version of Marijuana, Ecstacy, Cocaine, Bath Salts, Synthetic Tabacco, and LSD, then sell it to the drug dealer or Junkie] Or create your own drugs then sell it to the drug dealer [Meaning you farm certain items, give it to a drug maker or some sorta brewing stand, create the drugs. Selling drugs like this can let you sell drugs to Junkies or Drug Merchants]. Drugs can only be sold to Drug Merchants or Junkies, and drugs can only be bought by Drug Merchants or Farmers / Makers. Yes, you can use fucking drugs on wynncraft if this would ever be added. Drugs would have a different price depending on how rare, in - demand, accessability [Drugs found in the Light Forest can be cheaper in Cinfras or Eltom, yet more expensive in Corkus or Detlas], or how strong it is. Junkies in the can also buy different drugs for different prices, based on which they want. If a Junkie wants a bluecap mushroom, they might buy it for 7eb, yet if they dont want a bluecap mushroom as much as bootleg alcohol, they might buy the bluecap mushrooms for only 5eb. Bluecap mushrooms would be found only in the light forest and are common, so they can go for 5eb in cinfras, 7eb in eltom [its higher in demand], and 6eb in detlas [lower demand yet farther location]. Being able to deal drugs would require you to do a certain quest, which involves drug dealing and trafficking. Prefferably the Mushroom man, Shattered minds, and a quest that allows you to traffic drugs to junkies and merchants throughout the land.
Black Markets or Locations with Junkies and Drug Merchants:
Elfium [Central drug market]
Cinfras [Black Market, Mushroom Farmers, Drug Makers]
Almuj [Black Market]
Nemract [Bootleg Alcohol maker, Drug creating stands, dealers, Alcoholics (People who buy alcohol, bootleg or not]
Pirate Island [Bootleg Alcohol maker, Bunch of dealers scattered thoughout the island, Alcoholics]

Illegal Weapons Merchant
- Its a guy...that buys strong as shit weapons. This is guy is able to help out with you and your problems. Cant sell a mythic or a legendary and you dont want to item buyer it? No problem! The Illegal weapons merchant buys any legendary or mythic items [or rare based on demand] much more than how much an item buyer sells. You can sell a mythic pure and gain 15 or 32le rather than how much the item buyer gives. Basic as that...
Illegal Weapons Merchant locations:
Cinfras [Black Market]
Almuj [Black Market]

Illegal Documents Merchant:
- The Illegal Documents Merchant is able to sell illegal documents for those that want them. To earn emeralds, you have to trespass certain areas [such as Prisons, Military Barracks, or a rich guys house] and steal documents. Depending on where you got the documents, it would always go for a different price. Military barracks would be heavily guarded, difficult to get past, full of traps, and the documents would usualy go for 20eb to 5le. A rich guys house would be less guarded, so they would go for less emeralds than any other place you can find documents.
Documents Merchant Locations:
Cinfras [Black Market]

Human Trafficking
- Human trafficking, if it wasnt obvious enough, is the act of kidnapping, stripping a persons free will, and then selling them for money into slave labor or forced labor. People, depending on their race, would preform better in different task, thus going for different prices depending on who you sell the person to. A person that wants someone who is strong yet Intellagent might preffer to buy a human rather than a puny villager. Kidnapping humans, Escorting kidnapped humans (with the help of NPCs), or Escorting a trafficked human to their destination by your self would be more quest - like. You cant get caught doing it [Via other players or guards, otherwise you have to escort the guy again], you have to travel long distances [You can travel across the ocean to get to your destination], and you have to keep the people in line, so they wont start a revolt. Depending on which NPC you're selling the trafficked human to, they would buy it for a different price. Trafficked people [selling them as an individual] can go for 5le each. Escorting a group of trafficked people with a group of your friends or NPCs give 2-10le per trip [each trip takes about 20min - 2 hour]
Human Trafficking Locations:
Cinfras [Buyers of Strong beings]
Pirates Cove - Cinfras Route [Sail towards Llevingar and guard a cart full of people, gives 4le per trip]
Nessak [Kidnap fishermen]
Selchar and Nemract [Buyers of Fishermen]
Olux [Kidnap people, transform them into iron golem] Only accessible IF you sided with the professor in the end of Iron Heart II
Jungle Village - Thesead mines route [gives 10le per trip]
Cinfras - Veekhats laboratory [yes his still alive, 5le per trip]

BOOM
I just created a whole post for you

and im way too lazy to describe non-illegal activities so heres a list

-Thesead coal Mining
-Ship Breaking (Corkus)
-Scrapping (Corkus)
-Scrapping (Ahmshord)
-Fishing (Any ocean or dock city / town)
-Anything to counter any criminal activities shown above
-Guarding (Protect anything valuable)
-Void Fishing (Ahmshord, fish for items that can be created for food)
-Transporting Goods (Help transport goods so they wont be raided or stolen, pirated, or lost)

Idea by @(Meric) : Maybe, there could be a mining trip. You could do a quest to get a pickaxe (Dead prospector themed?) or maybe a rare drop in the abandoned mines. You could enter a mine and there will be shining ores everywhere. You can mine them to gain money. This could be somewhat like prison and gives players different styles to gain currency. This could be to gain gold ingots (currency in rymek, or maybe emerald ore to get emeralds

Gambling System: There could possibly be a town or place called something like Wynn County Fair, where you can play games. You can play some games to get emeralds, but you have to buy tickets to get admission (maybe different pricing for passes that gives a certain amount of games you can play??) You can maybe win tokens that you can trade in for money or other items! There will also be a gambling system. If you trade in your tokens, you may either win nothing, a jackpot, or such. Everything but the jackpot and maybe a few rare wins will be below the emerald count u will get when you trade in tokens

 

I'll

I'll give you some ideas but you gotta work it out.
Maybe there can be a gambling system, an investments system or a small park like wynnterfair where you can play games.

 

this is "General suggestions" sub-forum that means that you should suggest a thing that the admins/ct team and not just say i want more thigs to do then it's the feedback section and you give some reason to why they need to come up with more options to farm money.

 

Like horses?

 

Make scamming easier

it requires skill and time, and yields monetary rewards.


jk



no but really, more minigames like reef would be nice,

maybe something like a mining trip?

 

Have you read the "How to Suggest" post yet? If not, I recommend doing it now, you will get less hate and a better view of what WynnCraft needs/wants.

 

I'd love a mining trip thing, sure, why not. Calm ways to get money without killing stuff is always nice!

 

The gambling idea isn't the first of it's kind, but I haven't seen any good suggestions on it yet. However, I am a fan of the idea. Fits neatly if done right, and can work both as a way to make emeralds and as a money sink.
So yes, like horses, but as a more sustainable option for the individual player, as horse breeding has more of a fixed goal to it.

A mining trip? I am not sure it would be easy to fit into the theme and physical realm of Wynncraft, but not a bad idea.
This has potential.

 

Can u add on to the gambling idea? I dont see how this can fit in... You mean like gambling to gain money instead?

?? Im suggestion something to be added not wanting something to be changed?

Thanks ill edit it tmr when I get on :)

 

I could go on for hours on this subject, but I will try to keep it short.
The issue about money in Wynncraft, is not the lack of money with the individual player, it's the overwelming amount of money in circulation on the trade market.

Basically, I support the idea that there should be more ways to earn money, but I do not support any ideas that will pump more money into the trade market quicker than now. Rather the opposite.
What is really needed is a way to pull some of the emeralds in circulation out.

The idea of a gambling tavern of sorts is the best money sink I have personally encountered. It just hasn't been made into an actual suggestion yet, as far as I am concerned.
With worthwhile loot rewards for winning (grand prizes of good untradeable items, lesser prizes of some low-end, but tradeable gear) it might become a place that players can sink their money and have fun doing it.
Of course an emerald prize could be in place here as well, but I don't think it should be profitable in a huge way.

 

How about pole dancing?
I can dress up, shake my behind and Silver, Stag and the rest can throw their unwanted LE at me.

 

Wow i never knew that and it will be cool

 

I'm making a poll now

 

bump lol 123

 

I dont feel it fits with the theme. Theres nothing else in the game that makes you break blocks, I dont think it's a good idea thematically

 

Yes, I was thinking, maybe you could have such a system in a fishing village in the jungle...

Wait that BOTW nvm.

________________________________

Really it's perfect, Now i'm not sure if the CT really will go through the trouble of making a gambling area when we already have that in real life... I definitely support this idea. Have you made a thread on this idea?

 

It's an idea based on a post I saw on another thread a few weeks ago. I posted the same idea as a comment to that post, but I haven't posted a thread about it myself. The poster of the original idea, didn't want to spend the time writing one either, so I am pretty sure it's not found by itself, anywhere yet.

 

Well so is diving for treasure :) and you can break flower pots with your weapon

________________________________

Added gambling system

 

Breaking pots is just a Zelda reference

And diving, you are just going and collecting items to sell. That already existed with the junk merchants

 

Fine a fishing trip.. Lol
