As it stands, a solo player in Tera struggles to generate income relative to the high end item cost. I could farm all day for a month and find enough t12 fodder crap to maybe afford to craft a t13 wep..then i have to master work it and enchant it.. atleast another month. Is there no way to get ahead in this game unless you play with 4 others and spam the same dungeon every 6 hours? Because i have tried to find a lucrative grind area and while all we can farm is t12 which is totally outdated allready it feels like i havent bought an expansion or somthing.. and im watching everyone play with new gear while i farm my old content. ><

'nuff said.

(Or, see if you can play the tradebroker well enough.)

Farming and selling archrunes of titan has been a lucrative activity for several of my guildies, though I suppose it depends on the server.

t13 I honestly don't see as worth the effort right now.
t14 will be coming with the big content patch and considering the amount of time and effort a full t13 masterwork is... well if you aren't already pretty much started on it, there's not much reason too right now.

You'll struggle a tad in pvp in the meantime, I myself am PVE though so that aspect doesn't really affect anything for me.

Merching off the trade broker could work if your fast enough(And lucky to have somebody misprice high-end items)

I was aware of this response, and its fair. But at the same time.. surely EVERYTHING worthwhile in this game doesnt have to be done either afk in a grp at nexus or doing one of 2 HM dungeons repeatadly. Im and Australian that works full time so i find it hard to fit into a static timetable, especially because its a family business and i am often working later than predicted. So this leaves me with farming.The chance of me even earning that 2-3k is very likely some days.. very unlikely others.. due to the fact im only making any money really on t12 wep fodder. If i could farm t13 fodder.. atleast the time would be worthwhile.. as it stands its just not. Seems like its HMs or go home.

It would be nice if level 60 bams actually dropped anything at all. I've killed dozens of them with absolutely nothing to show for it.
Considering the amount of effort involved in soloing the things they should drop SOMETHING it's especially bad around argonea.

Often resort to the level 59 ice giants because at least I know they will drop something even if it's crap.

Hm? Cleevage, what class do you farm as?

yea, those things drop SFA though. Farming thousands of normal mobs seems to be the only real option. I just tried soloing skygarden a few times on my berserker just in the hope that i might get a few master scrolls.. failed at the summoning mini boss.. to many adds.. to little aoe..Every dungeon prior to that is a waste of time as loot sells for nothing and your better off going back to those thousands of normal mobs.. srsly.. is this it? is this what we do at 60 .. im even contemplating Aion right now lol.

Ah, so Berserker? Only class that can farm faster is Priest. I am afraid right now that you are almost basically good as it is going to get unless you run dungeons. :/
