You make 1K gold a day from grinding as a skysong in Jade Dynasty.It knows for fact that dagos modos make 3k a day and thats just from gold on the sleepless, it does not count the dragonsoul charms 15
Maybe you do not know who sold people on the idea that grinding in the ascended areas was impossible. You have been grinding in ascended caves since level (Jade Gold)90.With only 6 gear and through both the level (Jade Dynasty Gold)90 and now the level 105 and soon to be level 120.The Horror stories you hear are way overblown. At those levels you make pretty much 200-300 on a good 12 hour grind from the sleepless, and then you sell 50-80 gold in provs. You could keep the dragonsouls and skytouch jades for gear, you make a ton of money and no things aren't hitting you for 1000 damage. They were hitting you for around 350 at level 90 down to 280 damage by the end, then 520 at level 105 and now down to 480 at the end. That's with only 6 gear and camping 3 spawns. We are mutually buffing each other and the granted people usually do with a skysong.
But grinding in the ascended areas has been a cakewalk compared to some of the nastier areas pre-ascension. You have not hit 135 so you don't know how those mobs are going to be. But something tells you that find it just as overblown and exaggerated as you found the horror stories to be up to this point. Grinding in ascended areas wasn't so bad and you made a ton of money there. Whoever sold people on these horror stories needs to be treated like the panic mongers they really are.
