The no-spend daily loop: six things that carry your production
✍️ Alice・愛麗沙
🌐 Machine-translated — the Traditional Chinese original is canonical.
Update 9/14: the third rung of the metal chain is back. Taiwan’s 9/9 update log (thread 3541097) lists 阿爾米斯’s barter 特殊鋼錠 ×2 → 銀合金錠 ×1 again (once per account per day), plus three Bangor routes (艾琳 特殊鋼錠 ×3 → 1 per character per day; 合金鋼錠 ×30 → 1, avoid; 艾頓 鱸魚辣魚湯 ×1 → 10 per character per week). Neither 9/9 notice mentions the reclaim announced on 8/26 — check your bag rather than assume. 麗莎/史帝華 now also sell 強化秘藥乳化劑 on weekly account caps, and the gem-alchemy revamp keeps only 星光稜晶 synthesis. The Chinese original carries the full correction.
⚠️ Compiled by the Korean server community + cross-verified with the official announcement of the Taiwan server. The barter exchange ratio has never been officially announced, it is subject to in-game.
The biggest misconception of non-class players is “I have no money, so I can’t win.” In fact, what limits you is not money, but the time gate - processing takes 10 hours, and silver coins only +1 every 30 minutes. The following six things are all bypassing the time gate, not making money.
1. Metal chain (every character must run every day)
Fergus Steel Ingot × 2 → Alloy Steel Ingot 4 times a day
Nylis Alloy Steel Ingot × 2 → Special Steel Ingot 4 times a day
Almis Special Steel Ingot × 2 → Silver Alloy Ingot — REMOVED by Nexon on 2026-08-26; the trade itself was a bug and the ingots are being reclaimed on 9/9. Kept here only so readers of the old version can match it up.**Why this is #1: **It takes about 10 hours to machine a special steel ingot yourself. This chain is skipped directly.
**Key details: **The first two steps are calculated independently for each character, so the clone will directly double the output; the last step is account sharing, which can only be run by the protagonist.
2. No waiting for leather and wood
| NPC | exchange | daily |
|---|---|---|
| Nelise | Copper Ore → High-grade Rawhide | ×10 |
| Tracy | log → rawhide | ×10 |
| Tracy | Log × 10 → High-grade rawhide | ×10 |
| Alvin | Stir-fried vegetables → High-grade wood × 4 | ×2 |
Each character consumes approximately 20 high-grade rawhide + 10 rawhide + 8 high-grade wood per day, with zero processing time. Hanbok has listed Alvin’s stir-fried vegetables for wood as the top priority.
3. Alchemy faucet (the only free source of catalyst in the whole game)
- Lisa 2 times a day: Apple Juice + Alchemy Shards × 3 → Advanced Catalyst (replace 15 for 1 liter of rare)
- Shi Dihua: Alchemy Shards → 25 elemental crystals (five attributes) per day
Elemental crystal is the level material for Exotic Gem Synthesis → Xingxiang, and it is recognized by the Korean server as the number one way to increase combat power without any lessons.
4. Holy Water Circle
5 Empty Bottles → 10 Milk → Kailin 3× Whole Wheat Bread → Andali (Bread 10 → Holy Water 10)Holy water costs 1,500 gold coins in the shop, and there are only 5 available per week, shared by the entire server. This loop completely crushed the store.
⚠️ But the two accounts of Aundai Li/Mei Wen are shared accounts (reset and shared once a day), so don’t expect to double the number of clones.
5. Silver Coin Discipline: Never let it stop at 100
Silver coins +1 every 30 minutes, stops recovery when holding 100+. Each additional hour = permanent loss of 2 credits = one copy lost every 5 hours.
This is the tightest bottleneck for no-class players, and the losses are completely invisible.
6. Demon Tribe Tribute Discipline: Same principle, don’t stop at 10
+1 every 12 hours, stop recovery at 10 (upper limit 99, Lv55+). Just check once every 5 days or so.
🇰🇷 Latest progress of Korean server (Taiwan server has not been implemented yet)
Korean server 2025-06-19 The barter ratio has been changed. The Taiwan server was launched after the revision, so the above numbers are valid for the Taiwan server. However, the Korean server has added new processed products and exchanges in S2, but the Taiwanese server has not yet.
**What to do in Taiwan server now: Just run as shown above. If you want to prepare in advance, Elemental Crystals and Alchemy Catalysts will still retain their value after the Korean server cross-season, so you won’t lose money if you stock up on these two items.
