Vault selling (e.g. Offline selling)
Vault selling is a great addition to the entrepreneurial merchant and allows you to sell
items outside your room either adventuring or even offline. There are 2-vault slots which
you are allowed to place 2-bags/chest with item. Personally, I have two nice 24-slot chests
which I place my various jeweler and other items I want to sell.
Are there downsides to vault selling?
Yes, there

It’s not always about generating money that gives you the biggest bank account, but
sometimes it’s about what you spend. The broker boards offer so many items that seem
“valuable” and it’s quite easy to burn through a stack of gold without flinching. In addition,
you can purchase any combat art or spell in many different versions (app-1 to master-1)
and new items (armor, weapons, and jewelry) are available at almost every level, it wou

Back in the early days of EQ1, buying and selling was quite time consuming and required
the adventurer to sit in a zone (West Commonlands), shout sell or buy messages, and
hope other adventures were interested. In the world of EQ2, buying/selling is much easier
because of broker boards and selling in your room.
Broker boards
Broker boards (or Bulletin Boards) can be bought from various merchants in your home
town. These boards can the

Axiom 1: An items sale’s price (from other adventurers) will never fall below
the NPC merchant buy-back price.
The Broker Boards will always have a wide variety of items being sold and at many
different prices. However, one “fact” will always remain; an adventurer will never (or
should never) set their sales price below the NPC merchant buy price. However, every
once in a while you might actually find some items on the broker boards that fe

In EQ2, any given item’s sell/buy value will be based on age of the game, item tier,
merchant buy price, age of server, rarity, playability, and perceived value. From these, the
two most important factors that determine an items value are:

SOE has structured EQ2 where based on your level and the zone(s) your adventuring, the
cost of the equipment and arts that you need to buy will be in-line to the equivalent money
of loot drops and quest rewards.
I.e. Through normal adventuring, you should have
enough money to buy adequate equipment/arts from the broker. Keep in mind, you will not
be able to buy equipment/arts upgrades every level and the adept-3 arts will definitely be
too expen

When you first start your adventurers in EQ2,
 money is in short-supply and every copper
will count. As you gain levels, experience, and through normal adventuring your total cash
will gradually increase, allowing you to obtain fairly average quality equipment and spells. 
 
Now to some, leveling slower or taking time to do quests isn’t an issue and also quite
arguably an effective character is more related to who’s sitt

Trading and selling with other players does not technically create or remove money from
the EQ2 economy but other adventurers will one
of the primary “sources” of your income.
Later in this guide, I will explain techniques on successful bartering/selling tactics such as
broker pricing, wandering salesman, tier zone selling, etc. If you master some of these
techniques, you will be well on your way to a substantial income.
 

Monsters (mobs):
 Mobs will drop loot and coin every. Mob loot will either be from
the body (roughly every other mob) or from a chest drop (roughly 10% of the time).
Mobs are the number #1 (as in sheer volume) source for money since they will
infinitely re-spawn after you kill them.
 
Keep in mind, killing mobs isn’t necessarily
the best source for money.
 Finishing quests:
 Most of the EQ2 quests wil

Buying from the NPC merchant:
 NPC merchants sell a wide variety of items
ranging from equipment, combat arts, spells, weapons, food/drinks, horses, etc. Merchants can be found in most every zone and are always interested in buying
any item you have to sell.
Be aware, if the merchant doesn’t normally sell the item,
your item that you sell to the merchant will be forever lost
 (i.e. if you mistakenly
sold that item to the me
