Yep i do agree Mages r best money maker, infact that was the reason y i made a mage... to support my warrior with wz for its G5 (though my mage became my main caracter later).
At lev 8x, as i said i m not sure abt effect of hk and warrior on R1 middle mobs. For archers only prob with arrow storm is they have to go for MP repot often.
Now for mage, if u think 20 mill a day is tough, here's how it is (assuming u play 12 hours a day.
Either u can hunt C1 dark olgocs, get 1 mill per hour (makes it 12 mill in 12 hours) as wz drops and occasional good drops like shihil staff or catalyst ( i had 42 catalyst, all from C1
) makes it to 20 mill in a day. Only prob in this model is u hardly find any of the 3 main rooms of C1 empty.
Or
Go to R1 middle. U make about 500 k per hour here. That makes it 6 mill in 12 hours. Now those mobs drop HW1 and HW2 scrolls besides few less imp ones. On an average u get one of these rare scrolls every 30 mins, so supply isnt really a prob. When i was playing mage, with granita open, there was a swarm of leechers. So selling these scrolls was easy with avg market rate of 1.5 mill. I used to sell full 8 scroll in less than 4 hours of shop. Thats 12 mill making it to 18 mill total. Plus u get decent G4 totalling even upto 22+ mill. Even if we consider that there are lot less leechers coz granita is closed, its compensated by fact that overall server population is much higher now, consequently resulting in higher demand for these scrolls.
Hope this explains it all .
Enjoy
I hardly find time to lvl up ...
