Fastest way to get Sunken sword?

So I have a bit of a predicament.

I really want a specific sword in AO that you may or may not know about.

This sword, to be exact:

Figure A: wet sharp thing

I want this lovely sword because as it turns out, my best file in AO happens to be a weapons user, in fact, all they use is weapons.

Figure B: Homo warrius

But there’s a big issue.

The sword I want is uh… really pricey.

Figure C: burdensome galleons

And I uh… Don’t have that much money.

Figure D: broke

I asked some of my pals for advice on darkane but I didn’t really get any great answers, which is why I have come to the forums to request help in this time of need.

Figure E: darkane degeneracy

So what can I do to get the sunken sword? If it matters at all, I do have perfect jewelcrafting.

Figure F: bragging right

Here’s an image of a funny cat btw this isn’t relevant but I just wanted to add it

Figure G: Earl

Dark sea runs are one of the most profitable ways if you have a high speed brig already on a slot. You can get gold from selling dark sealeds and the items from the chests aswell. That’s not to mention that you can sell the scrolls for more on the marketplace too .3.

why’d you skip e

brain fart

sell your soul to vetex and do 30 dark 3+ hour dark sea runs
yes i said dark twice on purpose
because it will be dark
and gloomy
and depressing

In terms of making money, I’d recommend buying gems from the guy in Sameria, making them into jewels, then selling them back for a markup. It gets a decent amount per run, however there’s the danger of existing in Sameria and the annoyance of server hopping to reset stock. That and selling all the junk you get from playing, like old swords and such.

Dark Sea runs can be really profitable, however it’s RNG if you get the valuable scrolls (power, speed, defense, size) instead of something like charged or tempered.

If you’re insane enough to fish for sunkens, use an ensnaring bronze rod.

you could also do diving spots

I know luck pots are generally a pretty old strategy, what’s a good way to get fish scales?

Not entirely sure how effective luck is after it got nerfed, but I’d recommend Dark Sea (insanity 1) fishing. I’ve had more luck with goldens out there (no evidence, personal experience) and you can catch the T2 enchants for rods out there.

if you have a swimming set, i got 3 sunkens in i think a day or two while i was farming abyssal spots, no luck pots. i havent done any abyss spots since the combat nerf though

I guess that leads into 2 new questions:

-how do I create a swimming set?

-what’s the best way to find abyssal spots?

Easiest way to find abyssal spots is sea charts, as I don’t think you’ll ever find one without.
They only exist in the nimbus sea IIRC.

nimbus sea diver

heres my armor build



and heres some bad news:
i had to spend over 400k to get the gem stats perfect

The best way is to scam people - browse marketplace for idiots selling stuff for cheap, and in turn sell it at an upprice

fastest way would just be to trade for one but if youre so broke that you have 0 seasonals 0 sunkens 0 acrimonies 0 everything then you could try to lowball for one but thats a time consuming and luck based method, if you cant trade for one id advise bartering on the auction house till u get like 250k and buy one guaranteed from there (by what other ppl said from the dark sea and selling scrolls n shi)

aw man the musgravites are a dark sea only item

I think this thread has told me the best thing to do is basically farm the DS lol

stockpile on goodies from DS and then sell scrolls and try to build a swimspeed set

you use auric seaweed for the gems right?

I do have seasonals I just don’t wanna trade any of em

id recommend it if you have spares unless you wanna become super rich or smth but if you really dont want to then yeah just sell shit thats valuable on auction and get it that way

i bought all of the gems and stormsalt from the marketplace

yeah
