At work at the front desk on a Sunday morning, which is basically dead, nothing at all to do, so I decided to test some of the games and see what's worth playing for profit. I'll probably play a couple not-for-profit too, just because. Aaaand because I'm super bored, I'm going to post here what I get on the ones I play, and some tips I think are good for them. Will this turn into a game guide? Maybe.

Feel free to post how you've done and your tips as well!

1. Caliph's Tomb Profit: 200,000 sP How: Play each game until you've cleared all the cards and then send your score. Each time you do this, you'll net 20k. Do it 10 times and voila! 200k. Tips: I think the 2nd layout on the top row is the easiest, although it could be different for everyone. You have unlimited time, so think about each move you make. When thinking about what move to make, if it's available, I always choose the move that reveals another card. If a reveal isn't available, my next move is to take away the most cards.

2. Burrero Basket Bonanza Profit: 250,000 sP How: Play each game until you've gotten a score of 2500 points and then send the score. Each time you do this, you'll get 25k. 10 times makes 250k Tips: I've found counting to be the most important bit in this game. Every 5 good items you pick up, your basket fills up half way; 10 good items makes it full, at which time you push the space bar. When you've got counting down, you can then look the the left of the game and pay more attention to what fruits/veggies are coming. You'll be going '1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Space Bar' in your head while paying attention to which items are coming, avoiding the bad ones and picking up the good ones.

3. Matlal's Jewels (timed) Profit: 280,425 sP How: I'm not sure what to say for this game because the scoring is so...weird. I got an average score of 28,042.5 points per game. But at some times I got more points for a lower score, less points for a higher score, so I'm not sure how it works. If anyone has more information, please let me know! Tips: I think if you're scoring at least 15-20k in each game, it's worth playing for the ease and amount of time it takes. The thing I like best about this game is that it's easily able to be paused, making it perfect for playing at work, winkwink.

4. Tubular Tiles Profit: 100,000 sP How: Clear the board and send your score 10 times; each time you'll get 10k for a total of 100k. Tips: Each layout is scored the same - 10,000sP for clearing the board, whether it's easy or difficult, so I tend towards using the Kumos layout each time, because its difficulty is 0.

5. Cybill Sledding Profit: 100,000 sP How: Get at least 7,000 points (for a 10k profit per game), send your score, repeat 10 times. Tips: It's better to miss a fish/gem and keep going than to grab that fish/gem and smash your head into a rock. When you want to end your game, if you're only playing for profit and have reached 7k points, just smash into something, lol. I used the 'up' arrow to speed down the hill, although if you're not used to the speed, don't bother with it until you're good with the game controls or only use it when you've got a clear path. Remember that the 'down' arrow will slow you down too, good for when you come upon an obstacle and have an 'oh crap I'm gonna die' moment.

Grand Total sP per day: 930, 425 sP (And this is without really putting much effort in. I'm fairly certain I could up that amount to a cool million if I put more effort into Matlal's Jewels.)

It's now 2:47 PM and I'm still at work. I get out at 4:30 PM. Still nothing to do. On to quests! I'll not be very in-depth with quests. I think summing it up will work fine, since the basic premise of each is the same.

(Not Included: Battle Quests, Major Drills, Shinwa, Sarah)

Basically, all of the quests except for Alexander are profitable. And you can even squeeze a small amount of profit out of that one if you know how. Quentin is a special case, which is explained below.

Tips for All Quests:

1. Figure out how much you are willing to spend and stick to it.
2. After you've done quests for a while, you'll figure out how much you're comfortable spending for each and how much profit you'll make.
3. At the start of each day of quests, I play Caliph's Tomb. This nets me 200,000 sP which I use as my starting point. I don't take money out of my bank to do quests.
4. At the end of my quests for the day, I put the 'millions and thousands' in the bank. For example, if I make 5,123,456 sP one day, I will put 5,100,000 sP in the bank. The rest I will leave out to use with the next day's starting total.
5. When questing, you may notice an item in shop search in an NPC shop that will have a huge profit margin if you buy it and sell it in your shop. Let's say you search for 'red ball' in shop search and the results come up and there's 5 'red ball' items in the NPC Toy Shop for 5,000 sP each and all the user shop listings below are selling them for 25,000 sP each. In this instance, I buy one to use for the quest, and the rest to sell in my shop. In this example, if they each sell for 25,000 sP, that's a lovely profit! It's like bonus points!
6. At the end of my quests, I put the items that I don't need/want in my shop. This usually gets me another 3-5m profit.
7. The Wizard Tokens I get go to the Wizard Exchange, where I save them until they're profitable to sell or I can buy something from the Token shop for either keeps or to sell for profit.

Alexander's Quests: Alexander will ask you for books. Most books are fairly cheap - I usually spend 1500-2000 sP on each one. Sometimes, however, he will ask for books with a value of 40,000 sP and more. Those quests will not be profitable. Therefore, I only do the ones where he asks for books of 10,000 sP and under, because for me, that's an acceptable risk and 95% of the time, I make a profit (however small) that way.

Quentin's Quests: Quentin asks for holiday items, which can be from any Subeta holiday. Sometimes these are retired and very expensive. Those without the sP to spare should only limit themselves to spending how much they're comfortable losing. The immediate sP profit here is very poor. If you can afford it however, do every single one of their quests because they give out Mage Amulets. I usually get 1-7 of these a day doing 15 quests, which although it isn't 'instant profit', will net you about 300k each when sold in shops, so that's another 300k-2.1m!! Or if you want to take a risk, you can turn these in to the Mage in Shadowglen and possibly get a tome in return, which can be used to up your pet's stats.

Weekend Special Quests: Always, always, always do your weekend special quests! These are profitable pretty much all the time, especially when it's Saggitarius or the Wizard!

Usual profit per day: Around 5m sP, if I've done well on Item Hunt that day. Without Item Hunt, I make around 4.2m or so.

My profit today, which was an excellent day: 6.3m from quests, Item Hunt, and games. This isn't including profit from the miscellaneous items and 4 mage amulets I got, which could total maybe 6.5m. Total profit of around 12.8m! Note that this was both an extremely good day and one where I put a whole lot of effort in - this much profit generally doesn't happen, lol.

Thanks for the tips. Certainly a few things that I can start applying to my daily run

There's a game guide here that we're hoping to get stickied... The (Unofficial) Games Page & Payout Guide!

Feel free to come over and post your insights :)

i like the post :) thanks for it
