(( Most places with money )) from my experience .....

1. FSC or Firestorm Citadel it gives 7k-9k cr per run and if someone gave you heat that would be awesome !!!
2. RJK or Royal Jelly King it gives 2k-3k cr per run....
3. The Gauntlet 9-2 though its very very very hard it gives you 3k-4k per run after the nerf before it was giving 6k-7k but someone reported it >:(
4. Arenas Depths give alot of money and it gets more the more you go down *Note : Wait for an arena if you see it on the gate map check it all the time it changes every hour or half..

HOPE YOU HAVE GOOD INFORMATION NOW :D

Autofire guide - so that everypony can click as fast as possible while only holding a button with a hoof!

***

What do I have from it?The following guide will tell you how to make any button to have a LMB (left mouse button)autofire function. Explaining it in simple terms: you hold a button and the game clicks for you as fast as possible.
Example: I have a standard 3-button mouse - LMB for charging, RMB (right mouse button) for shielding and MMB (middle mouse button - you can press the scroll down) for autofiring. When I run around with the shivermist buster and my argent peacemaker, I hold the LMB to charge the bomb and I hold the MMB to rain the enemies with countless Argent Peacemaker bullets. I hold the buttons down - no multiple, spasmatinc and loud tapping. Just holding buttons.
Without the autofire I would have to click a countless number of times every time I traverse the Firestorm Citadel. I do not have to - the autofire does it for me. I just tell it when to start (by pressing the button down) and stop (by releasing the button I pressed).

***

How to do it?

1. Download the AutoHotkey here.
2. Install it (duh!). The installation is a simple task and you are rather unable to screw it up.
3. Run the AutoHotkey and start editing the script (RPM on the "H" icon in the systray->"Edit this script")
4. Decide what button you would like to have the LBM-autofire assigned to. Here you have the examples for a few scripts:

   Scroll-pressed autofire (the one I use):
   ~$MButton::
   While GetKeyState("MButton","P"){
   Click
   }
   return

   LMB autofire:
   ~$LButton::
   While GetKeyState("LButton","P"){
   Click
   }
   return

   F1 button:
   F1::
   While GetKeyState("F1","P"){
   Click
   }
   return
   By now you should have a general idea how to make your own autofire macro.

5. Paste the script to the file and save it.
6. Reload the script so that the one you have entered starts to be used.(RPM on the "H" icon in the systray->"Reload this script")
7. Run the game and enjoy your Antigua and Flourish series spamming strikes as fast as they can!

***

Note 1:This macro emulates left mouse button clicks everywhere, not only in the application.
Note 2:You can always edit the script without running the application: My Documents\AutoHotkey.ahk.
Note 3:You may want to remap your in-game key configuration a little. Since I have started using AutoHotkey, I experienced many unintended weapon changings due to the fact that I use scroll for autofiring.

***

Final note: try this solution out. It really allowed me to focus on the aspects of the game other than insanely fast clicking!

Hello, Za-Ck here. Here is my guide entry:

When you first start off, try to obtain 2 star gear as soon as possible. all 1 star and 0 star recipes are not worth it because they cannot be upgraded to 5 star in the end. A classic favorite armor set to make is the Wolver coat and cap. When fully upgraded, it provides bonuses to sword users, so it is very popular. In addition, the Vog Cub set is fire resistant, something important that I will get into later. Other alternate choices you might want to consider include the Magic set and the Demo set. A popular shield to aim for is the Owlite shield line for its elemental defense and useful resistances. We will discuss the mechanics further in depth later on.

Note: Play as many of the rank missions as possible. They are both great for answering basic questions and giving one a feel of the game. It is highly recommended to do so and help people like me from repeating themselves over and over.

-000-

There are 3 types of weapons in this game: Swords, Guns, and Bombs.
Swords are typically hard-hitting weapons that deal a lot of damage at close range. They are the most popular type of weapon in general, and one is heavily recommended to have at least one in their arsenal. Recommended swords to start with include:
the Calibur line, the Brandish line, and the Flourish line.

The Calibur line is known for being a well-balanced sword that will hit all types of enemies equally. Because it does normal damage, nothing resists it, but nothing is weak to it either. the charge attack is known for having incredible amounts of knockback, flinging enemies away from you, so it enables one to help clear crowds. However, it is not recommended to use this too much in group play because it tends to fling enemies into allies unless one is very careful. One will be granted a free calibur and its typical upgrade path recipes if one completes enough missions.
Upgrade path: Calibur - Tempered Calibur - Ascended Calibur - Leviathan Blade

The Brandish line is known to be extremely diverse. Out of this line, one can get 4 different types of blades, all very usable.
the Fireburst Brandish line is a great damage-dealing elemental sword. The charge attack will light enemies on fire, providing additional damage as time goes on. Also, because the fire status does not reduce knockback, enemies will be more likely to be hit with all the explosions the charge attack produces. If you want damage above all else, this is a solid elemental blade to get.
Upgrade path: Brandish - Fireburst Brandish - Blazebrand - Combuster

The Iceburst Brandish line is great for crowd control and is one of the most popular type of Brandish sword. Freezing enemies in place makes it easier for a team to clean up a group of monsters than they would normally. Great in situations when there are a bunch of enemies clustered together. If you want to help contribute to a team effort, this sword is also a great elemental choice.
Upgrade path: Brandish - Iceburst Brandish - Blizzbrand - Glacius

The Shockburst Brandish line is the hardest Brandish line to make. The recipes for this line are only available through playing lots and LOTS of Krogmo Coliseum minigames so it is not recommended to go after for beginners. However, the shock status provides a nice balance between damage to enemies and crowd control. It isn't as good at damage as the Fireburst Brandish line, nor is it as good at crowd control as the Iceburst line, but it will do both jobs fine.
Upgrade path: Brandish - Shockburst Brandish - Boltbrand - Voltedge

The last family of the Brandish line is the Nightblade line. It is one of the only 2 families of swords in the game that does shadow damage. If you don't like slow swords, then this is pretty much the only other shadow sword you can get. Very handy for the Royal Jelly Tier 2 boss, so it is recommended to snag one.
Upgrade path: Brandish - Nightblade - Silent Nightblade - Acheron

The Flourish line is a pure piercing damage line. It provides quick jabbing attacks that do a lot of damage against monsters that are weak to piercing (namely beasts and fiends). It is also very good for the Lockdown Krogmo Coliseum game, and is good for many other situations. Just don't try using it against Slime or Construct type monsters though. Out of all the Flourish family, it is recommended to reach the Final Flourish in the end. The other types, although sometimes inflicting a status, are not recommended due to having a lower damage output and also not inflicting status often enough.
Upgrade path: Flourish - Swift Flourish - Grand Flourish - Final Flourish

-000-

Bombs are weapons that must be fully charged in order to deploy. In general, Bombers are supporter type knights. The different Vaporizer line bombs are great for helping a team out. Although these bombs start out with a very small radius, upgrading them all the way is definitely worth it, and they gain a massive increase in radius size. Out of all of these, the Freezing Vaporizer line is recommended the most out of all due to being very, VERY handy for the Tier 3 boss. If one wants to become a dedicated bomber, it is recommended to pick up a Demo set of armor and helm and upgrading to the Volcanic Demo set, or if one wants to be risky, the Mad Bomber Set. These armors will grant very useful bonuses to your bombs, so grab em if you like bombs.

Other options include the Vortex type bombs, the Crystal Bomb line, and the Blast Bomb line. The Graviton Vortex and the Electron Vortex bombs draw enemies into their radius and then explode, causing damage. When fully upgraded, these bombs are great to bunch enemies in one place so a teammate can devastate them with a charge attack. the Electron Vortex bomb line is Krogmo recipes once again, so be careful when deciding to pursue this line.

The Blast Bomb line is the standard bomb line. Much like the Calibur line, they do decent damage to all enemies and have massive knockback. You will be rewarded with a Blast bomb and its standard upgrade path if you do enough missions. This bomb is not recommended for group play both due to knockback and its distracting explosion, but it is great of one has to solo. You are advised to avoid other branches of the Blast Bomb line because they are either too slow, or they have some other negative that reduces their potential.
Upgrade Path: Blast Bomb - Super Blast Bomb - Master Blast Bomb - Nitronome

The Crystal Bomb line is a bit of an odd case. Although it only goes to 4 star, they are recommended by most bombers. Specifically, when they are upgraded to Radiant Sun Shards, they provide a great mix between piercing and elemental damage and is useful in many situations, especially if you can get an enemy on top of it when it explodes.

-000-

Guns are long-ranged weapons that are great for fighting enemies from afar. They typically do not do much damage compared to the other two weapon types, but they provide great mobility and support options. Gunslinger armor sets start at 3 star though, so it might be a bit hard for a beginner to become a dedicated Gunslinger. Nonetheless, it is recommended for one to carry at least 1 gun because they are both convenient in the field and sometimes you want to keep away from a group of enemies. When using a gun, it is recommended to use the arrow keys/wasd to move and the mouse to aim. This will greatly help mobility and ease-up aiming.

Alchemer type guns are great starter guns. Although they only have a 2-shot clip, they have a great chance of causing a status (unless Prismatech or Shadowtech), and when upgraded, the bullets ricochet, causing lots of damage to clustered enemies.

The Autogun line is built for damage. The charge shot when fully upgraded to Blitz Needle is devastating to enemies weak to piercing. However, the main disadvantage is that one cannot move while shooting. Either one should save making this line for the endgame, or they must learn to live with staying still and defenseless until the long animation is finished.

The Blaster line is the standard gun line. It does equal damage to all enemies and will be granted to you for free with enough missions. It is a good all-rounder if one does not wish to specialize.

The Magnus line is a very fast and powerful 2-shot combo gun. It is great for knocking down enemies and interrupting enemy combos. It is a good piercing gun if one wants one. Ignore the Iron Slug and go for the Callahan.

-000-

There are some other very good weapons not listed here, but these are some of the basic types you can go after first. The rest need to be earned through boss tokens.

-000-

In tier 1, the most profitable levels are the Snarbolax boss levels. If you defeat him enough times to earn enough tokens, you can exchange them for great piercing-type gear from Brinks. These are usable throughout the game, so it would be handy to pick up at least one.

In tier 2 there are the Royal Jelly and Roarmulus Twin bosses. The Royal Jelly boss levels are the most profitable in tier 2. Either unlock this mission as quickly as you can, or go delving in the clockworks. From this boss's tokens, the Sealed Sword and the Antigua weapons are recommended and will make decent weapons when fully upgraded.
The Roarmulus Twins' tokens allow you access to the Pulsar gun series, which are the most popular type of gun as of now. Pick one up if you can. Also, the Shock "vaporizer" type bomb, the Static Capacitor, is only available this way, so bombers might want to try this boss a few times as well.

-000-

With all this in mind, one should keep focused on some endgame gear. The most profitable levels in the game are the tier 3 boss Vanaduke's levels: the Firestorm Citadel. It is very important to have fire resistant gear here, because EVERYTHING is covered in fire or is chock-full of fire-status monsters. This is the main reason the Owlite shield is highly recommended, because it provides fire resistance. One can use a Dread Skelly Shield alternatively to protect from the shadow type attacks that are very common there, but it may break too easily if one is overwhelmed. The Volcanic Plate Shield is also great here.
Recommended armor includes the Vog Cub set, which both boosts sword attack speed greatly, and provides fire resistance.
The Divine set is a very good contender for this area too, providing fire resistance and shadow/elemental defense, but be warned, there is no normal defense on this armor set and one must watch oneself. It is probably best to wear the veil and mix it with some other armor.
The Dread Skelly set is decent here, being very good at blocking shadow damage, but it has no fire resistance, so one may have a harder time with this armor set.
The Fallen set provides both shadow defense and fire resistance and is very well suited for this area. However, there is a very high fiend damage penalty, so taking down the trojans here may be a bit of an issue.

Weapons-wise, it is recommended to have an elemental blade, either Divine Avenger (Upgrade of the Sealed Sword) or a Brandish line elemental blade. A Shivermist Buster on your team will make the levels and the boss MUCH easier, so it is highly recommended one has one on the team. The Polaris (upgrade of the Pulsar) is useful in some parts of the levels, and can be a good sidearm. Finally, at least one person (besides the Shivermist Buster weilder) should have a Blitz Needle. This is the best way to harm the boss Vanaduke because it both does a lot of damage, and Vanaduke himself is weak to piercing attacks.

free bump for THE most fun guild ive evr encountered! not only does Dark Guardians provide experienced fsc buddies and helpful SL party members, but they provide crazy guild events for when ur hungry for free prizes, many talkative and goofy guild mates to hang out with, and most of all, an overall experience tht is fun, relaxed, yet competitive all at the same time. as a guild. DG has come a long way from being brand new almost a yr ago. but even tho it has grown so well, we just recently decided to improve it even more; we established ourselves as an LD guild to b bargained with. just within one week of our new goal to become LD masters, we hav already progressed into a top-notch LD guild with notable achievements; we gained the #2 rank on the guild lockdown leaderboards and triumphed over many experienced LD guilds including Beware, valkyrie knights, wolfpack party, impervious, and reign of chaos. we r only hoping to progress even further than we hav (a nearly impossible task considering how darn awesome we already r) by finding more ppl to bake us cookies- i mean people to join our loving community tht can help us become that perfect guild we r setting out to b. we hope to see u in-game soon (as long as u dnt burn the guild's cookie stash, especially the chocolate chip one). if ur interested, make sure to send an application to Laylla and check out our guild website! hav fun! ;)

P.S. We worship ponies
