Guide - Money Making in Detail
I thought it would be nice to have most of the money-making tips in one place for easier reference as a lot of other ones aren't very detailed.
Most sections of the guide will be rated on the scale of 5 - 1 being the easiest and 5 being more difficult and/or higher leveled character(s) are required. Those in black are new suggestions/information that may/may not be fully tested yet.
Jump to post - 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 (4th post is here in the 3rd page as I ran out of room with these front ones )
Most of the main ways of making money on Conquer Online are (Underlined ones link to their CO Quest info page):
PKing (Player Killing) - Medium/High
PK Tickets - Any
SkyPass
SnakeKing - High
Spamming Meteors/Dragonballs for sockets - Any
Squamas - Med
Supering Items - Any
Water farming - High (Archer)
Warrior farming - High
Different Classes are easier/better for making money than others: - Archer - Considered the best money-making class, with it's Scatter skill, an Archer with decent attack would be able to kill a lot monsters at the same time. Also able to Fly to dodge physical attacks.
- Fire Taoist - Requiring decent equipment in order to get good magical attack, however, it's Tornado has about the same range as an Archer shot and FireCircle would be useful for hitting multiple monsters all around you.
- Trojan - With the highest health and attack of the other classes, since they can wield two 1-handed weapons, this class is one of the best choices for quests that require a lot of attack and/or health.
- Warrior - This class has a bit higher defence (with shield), but a bit lower attack than a Trojan, however with it's Superman XP skill, which does 10x damage to monsters and 2x on players, it's a good class to have handy.
- Water Taoist - One of the hardest classes to make money on, however with it's ability to reborn early at level 110, it's one of the best classes to make money off of when Water Farming.
Purchasing DragonBalls - 1/5: Purchasing TQ Points|Crediting DragonBallsOne of the easiest ways of making money, at the cost of real-life money (USD - United States Dollars). But, as this is technically a Free-to-Play game, a lot of players consider this form of money-making a bit like cheating (especially the Bulk Pack of 125 DBs). Buying DBs with real money has it's uses in-game though, as it's a faster way to gain a rare and useful item that may take a very long time to gain normally. To retrieve your DragonBalls in-game however, you'll need a character that's at least level 50, and talk to the Prize NPC at (185, 170) in Market. (Reminded by -Venom-)
Uses for DragonBalls are: - Selling to others - Nowadays, with a higher amount of uses for DBs, and a higher player demand for them, most server prices for DragonBalls are around 20-40 million (kk) gold, so this could be a very quick way of making in-game currency.
- Upgrading Equipment Quality - With a certain amount of DBs, you could upgrade an item from normal to Refined, Refined to Unique, Unique to Elite, and Elite to Super. The higher you go, the harder and/or more DBs it may take.
- Exchanging for CPs - Each DragonBall can be exchanged for 215 CPs at CPAdmin in Market (178,182). Different uses for CPs are here.
Composing Gems - 2/5: Caution, thinking and math stuff ahead. To compose most gems, you'll need 15 gems and a certain amount of money, then talk to Jeweler in (240,256) Market. For most gems, it's 15 Normals + 10k to make a Refined, then 15 Refines + 800k to make a Super. Composing gems to earn money also ties in with Marketing, which takes a bit of thinking and calculations.For example, on my server:
Normal Dragon Gems - 450k
Refined Dragon Gems - 8-10kk
Super Dragon Gems - 100kk
Composing 15 Normals + 10k to make a Refined would cost about 6.76kk, so if I were to sell the Refined gem for about 10kk, it would be about a 3.24kk profit. However, if you were to compose 15 Refines + 800k to make a Super, that would cost about 150.8kk, so you would lose 50.8kk since they don't sell that high.

SummaryTake what gems you have to OldMiner in (907, 546) PhoenixCastle map to exchange for a Silver/Gold Needle and enter the mine. If you used one of the recommended classes, activate their skills and search the left side of each room of the mine. Possible spawns for the Blue Mouse are here. When you find the mouse, jump next to it, wait about 1/2 a second, then click on it. If you "Caught" it, the needle in your inventory will disappear and the mouse will give you quest items according to what needle you had. If it "Got away", don't worry, just search the mine for another one and try again (Note that if you're Flying there's a higher chance of missing, so land before you click on the mouse). After you're done, go to General Judd at (396, 233) Twin City to exchange those quest items for your prizes. Making/Selling Houses - 2/5: A bit long, but well-rewardedSummaryBasically, just do the House Quest by mining in the TwinCity mine for the IronOres (House), and then PhoenixCastle Mine for CopperOres (Upgrade). House Permits and Upgrades usually sell for about 20-40kk depending on servers, so although the quest is long, the money is good.
Note that in making the House Permit, I believe any ores will be accepted by the NPCs, including Euxenite, Gold, etc., while the Upgrade requires CopperOres. Jump to post - 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
