I make my money by reed farming. Great way to make money but it needs to be on a large scale

 

Ermmmk, ignore all the farmers that used the lotto to get to tycoon.

Tip 1, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOTTO. END O' STORY!
Tip 2, Don't use the mining world. It's just a fallout zone with nothing in it. I suggest you go to the newly expanded area on the mainworld. Lots of stuff. Fort pick is better, but anything works.
Tip, 3, Run a shop, that's good. Keep it stocked, keep the prices low, and advertise. It's AMAZING how fast the trade channel works. I got 2 stacks of furnaces because i asked twice.
Tip 4, Join a company. They usually pay fairly well. Matberry's Pontvert can always use a hand, they pay pretty well if you chop enough trees.
Tip 5, Use the auction channel, SOMETIMES. The auction channel is not a main thing for me. Use it sometimes, but it can be cruel, you gotta take a gamble...start at free, at your own risk.
Tip 6, You may hear everyone saying "FARMZ, FARMZ, FARMZ!!!" That's not the deal. It's like saying "Owning 50 towns is profitable". I'm sure owning 50 towns does make a lot of money, but you don't just get 50 towns out of thin air.
Tip 6 & 1/2, Unless you happen to have your hands on an Eff V tool, or own a large farm, farming is not the way to go. It's only profitable in the long run.

Emph, my brain is tired, i can't think of any more tips...
