    well... last real plot with battledome battles gave pretty good items. I made 2 mil my self from the sloth plot, and... my pet was pretty weak, lol. Alot of people made 3-4 mil from the sloth plot...

    Yeah you can make a fair bit.
    You dont even need to do the plot ;)
    Just have some ppots and some good 1player weps and they inflate loads and then you sell when plot is on :)

    btw heya awesome sig!!

    Depending on which plot you are talking about
    But usually gets you a handful.
    As Chris mentioned. Battledome items are inflated then.
    So stock one up and sell when the plot is.

    Plots were very profitable for the patient. The prizes eventually inflate specially if they require insane amounts of plot points. Since the prizes will be retired as soon as the Plot is finished investing on the good prizes are an excellent idea. the only exception to this is the Altador Plot.

    its probably more profitable to save your nps and buy the prizes from people when they are awarded. hang onto them for a year and you 5x your money, hang on to them for 5 and youve made 20x your money most likely

    Three best things to do:
    1) buy lots of 1p bd weapons like ppots and yblasters
    2) do the plot, you never know how great of a prize you might get
    3) buy other peoples stuff. they will go for CHEAP about the second week that the prize shop is open. buy then, buy in bulk. jerseys used to be 10k, but they are 100k.

    ppots definitely go up a lot, even if you dont have much money, codestones snowballs and sticky hands work too

    Profitable besides altador plot as mentioned. As well mentioned exception of the altador plot that the longer you can hold on to the prizes the more they will be worth in the future. With the sloth plot I was able to make a pretty profit of over 3 mill instantly *shakes head wishing i could have held on the prizes*

    imo not really worth doing the plots, the time spent is far more profitable used for abing
    of course for legit players esp poor ones, it's fairly profitable for them..

    only way to make easy $$ off plots is not to do them, but to stock up on the popular weapons for bd plots.. stocking up on prizes arent really good, too many people do it

    Agreed. The real money is in buying codestones and weapons before the plot, along with buying prizes as soon as they come out from people anxious to dump theirs.

    That said, doing the plot is good, legit money too.

    It depends really, if you sell off your prizes quickly you can make a tidy some, but the more people complete the plot, the less they prizes are worth... until years later if you keep a hold of them :)

    If you're there as soon as the plot completes, you can make a lot playing the market. I remember doing that, back when the ACII finished and when I had a decent account. Got the stamps ASAP, sold them to people planning on saving them for years to come, then bought them all back when the rest of the world woke up and they halved in price.

    The best plot prize usually go for over millions of NP.. it should be profitable.
