Most I've ever had in the game was 15 mil. Joined a guild that told me about these earrings and I was lucky enough to farm a pair. Sold them for 165 mill. Game changer for me! Going to treat my self to 120 swords and 120 tactics.
There's that!!
There's also gold to be made in the buy / sell game as well. I suspect the earrings will continue to drop as the event goes on but once it's over they will start going up again. It takes time and patience to wait out the cycles but these could be good investments.
Great gold to be made in the merchant life. I'll give a couple of examples
Watch for upcoming changes in game mechanics that will impact market value of certain items.
1. When they announced pets would be able to eat power scrolls. Long before the pub went active I bought tons of 120 Wrestling scrolls when people were giving them away for 50-100k a pop. That turned into a multi plat maker.
2. After they announced Vet reward items will be deleted at all idocs I made a little over a plat investment buying them up off VS. This one is taking some time as the global stock is slowly but steadily declining while inversely the price trends are clearly going up.
3. Who went and bought pumpkin helms when they announce transmog potions for head slots? I was late to that one but still managed to pick up a few.
