I am #19 on /baltop, so I think I have the right to post here xD I think.
I started out soulsand and snow farming. Did that until I got about 300k.
After I had a decent amount of money, I started investing in OP items and other highly wanted items. For example, I made 300k one day by buying a full OP set of armor for 800k, and selling it later that day for over 1M!
The reason I am not atleast #10 on /baltop is because I use a ton. a. ton. of money to build xD gg
Hope I could help,
Garrett
