what does it take to get gold?Follow

I have been lightly playing this week and was wondering since 100 copper makes a silver, what number of silver makes a gold coin?
I believe I saw or read somewhere that it was 1000 Silver
correctimundo! 100 copper = 1 silver & 1000 silver = 1 gold
And with average quest rewards in the area of a silver or two & the average coin drop from a 2 legged mob hovering in the area of 20-50 copper, it would seem that money in Middle Earth is not that easy to come by!

it's not too terribly hard. all together i've likely managed a single gold--course it's spent on things like skills, traits, and the real money burner for me at any rate, repairing gear.
grinding out a "slayer" and "advanced slayer" quest can usually yield over 100 silver.
at least, at level 16 it can. =)

I'm a tinker (jeweller, prospector, cook) so I mine a lot but I don't need the hard metal ores, just the precious metals like silver and gold. I've made a lot of money selling iron and steel ingots in the Auction House. More often than not someone buys them all up for the buyout price I list. (Which probably means it's too low... )

Or it means it is fair :P Besides, while your's are selling other people's sit and rot on the AH

That scales with level though... as early as about 25 you'll start seeing mobs drop SILVER, not copper, and quests will be 20s for completion. By 30, 3+ silver from mobs and 30s from quests if not more.

Unfortunately, costs also scale during these levels. Skill costs and repair costs both continue to climb and goods purchased from NPCs and other players (through the AH) are also more expensive. You'll have a lot more money in your 20s and 30s but you'll also spend a lot more.

True, but you should be a bit better able to stay ahead of the curve as it were with the extra money. For grinding out 3 or so quests in basically full heavy armor I only spend about 20s or so for repairs w/o a death. So it isn't that bad.
Just a little update for those who are wondering about how hard it is to make money in the game...
Earlier today I ground out 250 wargs (for trait) and a couple other various mobs (in much smaller numbers). They were all about level 31/2 and were light blue to me. Repair was about 30s, though I also did some mining so that upped the bill some. I got 500s in vendor drops. Nothing good from them to sell on the AH either, so that was pure vendor trash. I did get a ton of sturdy hides I could have sold if I wanted though, but I didn't.
My level 36 ability is like 120s or something, and i'm only about 1/2 way there in terms of level.

I'll pitch in a bit of information about 'money'.
Since I spend a lot of time 'burgling', it's pure 'loot' (no repairs, since I'm not dying) and humanoids seem to have the best goodies to burgle. At 22, I've already worked up over 2 gold worth of coin - which means I've given a load of silver away to my other friends who are starting as 'non-burgling classes'.
I'm pretty pleased with the economy so far, and haven't yet gotten any 'gold farmer spam' in private tells. (I'm hoping I never do)

I recently rolled up a hobbit burglar and I'm interested in trying this out but I haven't seen anyone describe the method in a thread.
So, how exactly do you nick something from the pockets of an NPC?
I don't think you can pick pockets of NPC's, just humanoid mobs. I dunno if its something about burglars, but even with a few deaths, my repair costs are never astronomical. The highest I ever saw was about 35s. Maybe its because my gear sucks, though I don't think so. I have a couple purples and the rest of gear seems par for my level. Allows me to fight same level mobs comfortably. But, being able to burgle is a great way to make loot, and sometimes I think it should be nerfed. I have actually managed to burgle a couple purple items so far, which sold on the AH for 50s+ each. At lv25, I am at 1g300s. Although at 20, I had barely 200s.
I am never abouve 300s at level 14, mainly because I keep buying dye to color my armor >.< ..curse my sense of style!!!
But I think with quests, drops and crafts, it won't be a hard thing to make money. And the trait rep farming I have been doing so far is a great way to make drop money.
