Steps:

1: Have a char with 5500 Aurum
2: Buy 6 x 1000 token and 1 x 500 token (total cost circa 470 mil at time of posting)
3: Apply tokens to char with 5500 aurum for 12000 total
4: Buy Monocle on NeX
5: Sell monocle on market for too much ISK (circa 750 mil at time of posting).
6: You just made 270mil for free (at time of posting!)

I already made as much isk as I was going to off this and sold my monocles so I might as well tell everyone else. Accepting all donations as "thankyous" for making your 5500 aur not so worthless Big smile

LOL this actually worked. So much better than the 50mil of stuff you could get for your 5500 without this trick Lol

Everytime someone gives away their superior and awesome tips & tricks how to make ISK I kinda don't believe it. Sorry friends.

All you have to do is look at the market for the prices of these items and work it out for yourself if you're skeptical Smile

Inventive use of the trade margin scam. set up a buy order with not enough ISK backing it, and see all the n00bs trying to offload their monocles. I approve of this scam. Hope I didnt spoil it.

Actually, aurum tokens are underpriced, rather than monocles being overpriced.

I thought so too at first - I imagined that this trick would drag Token prices up rather than Monocle prices down. But the market graphs speak for themselves really.

What are "Aurum" and why should I care about them?

Its this thing that might suddenly become very valuable once DUST is released, so you should buy all the aurum tokens right now while they cost next to nothing. You can also use it to buy clothes and eyeware which annoy poor people.

How is this any different than spending your aurum and selling/keeping the items as people have been doing since it was released?

Nothing free or even innovative here, just changing currency types.

Not a forum alt.
