How Do You Get So Many Emeralds?

Title
I see some items (Warp, for example) going for millions of emeralds.
I understand that I probably can't/shouldn't try to go for these items at such a low level, but I was wondering if there was a specific way people get enough money to afford these kinds of items, as the most I've ever has is like 10k emeralds.

 

People at endgame with millions of emeralds to spare usually either got tons of money by duping a long time ago or got a high value item while loot running (going from chest to chest with loot bonus/loot quality gear). Having said that, I made most of my money by scrapping hats in ragni. Go to the ragni armor merchant and fill your inventory with hats, which cost 4 emeralds each. Then go to the blacksmith, where you can convert your hats to repair scrap on a 1:1 ratio. From there, you can sell the scrap on the trade market for about 11 emeralds each. I average about 5 le (about 20k emeralds) per hour with it, emptying my inventory into a spare bank page every 2 stacks of scrap. It's tedious but reliable, and I got my first mythic (an apocalypse) doing it.

It's also worth noting that you'll usually have 1-1.5 stacks of le after a normal 1-105 playthrough, depending on how much you spend along the way and assuming you at least do every quest worth 1 le or more.

 

ok, thanks!

 

Professions is a pretty good way once you get max level. Mining Dernic gems/metals tier 3 ones go for 5-7k each. That's 1.5 almost 2 le for each you find.

The most common way is loot running though you'll get a mythic for about every 5k-7k chests you open and tons of rare ingredients (price varies), legendaries (anywhere from a few eb to a few le), and about a le or so of raw emeralds.

 

pretty cool, but the sorcerer said that loot running is a good way to get the big bucks, or emeralds, I guess... but anyway, u guys here got any good builds for high level loot running? preferably including discoverer, since you know, you get like +175% LB...

 

For lootrunning, it is recommended to get about ~40 lq, as that is the soft cap. Discoverer also costs about 20ish stacks if liquid emeralds so you probably wont get to use one

 

I would also like to note that market flipping mythics is a good source of income if you know the market, and that you can definitely profit from lootrunning even if you don't find mythics. I made enough lootrunning to buy my own mythic, and I hadn't found one previously.

 

thanks for the tips bro I haven't checked the value for a discoverer recently so 20 stx...? not really on budget. you got any other builds tho? hoping to get into loot running once I can access Corkus island, cause I heard its a good place to run in terms of items and emeralds

 

I personally use anamnesis, diamond dust, lq pants and boots, summa, dhydro ring, vindicator and an lq bracelet. It gets me 40lq and 80+lb (soft caps for both on chests) as well as having good mr. On top of that I use koh for tp spamming, morrowwind for combat since I have a godly one and an emerald staff for that tiny extra bit of lb

 

thanks i'll be looking for stuff like that!

 

I’m sorry, but that’s just incorrect. Prices dropped massively and the most they go for now is 1.25-1.5 le each and even that’s overpriced and only gems.
Grains and meat go for a mere 16 eb each while string and ingots are at 1 le or a bit under, oil for 32 eb each and wood and paper for 32 eb (or less) each.
With that being said, ye it’s still a pretty good and reliable way to make money.
