One thing that you might not like is the whole mist energy thing, and how you cannot continuously make money and get rich since it takes 14 minutes to regenerate one energy.

Yes, you are limited to doing missions while you do not have enough energy, but that doesn't make you limited to not being able to make some pocket change.

NOTE: The below is mostly for making pocket change while a new player is either A. Waiting for mist energy to recharge, or B. Trying to buy more energy to do more missions. This is not even close to a get rich quick scheme, none of these are, they are just commonly known ways that you can make pocket change with some left-over crowns.

Number 1. Making some money off of the Auction House. This is what I would first suggest to you. Of course, I have little secrets that I cannot give out to everyone because those little secrets will really get you some pocket change; this is only the basic idea. I will make you do the rest and work for it and learn some things about the market on the AH :)

The Auction House is a burden to lazy players. Many players are like "Wait.. seriously? To put on this material and make 40 crowns from it, I have to pay a 36 crown transaction fee which means I have a chance to lose that if my auction expires??" They are like, no thank you! And that is why materials get stocked up in players' inventories.

One easy way to get some pocket change is to take advantage of the lazy. The lazy will always be lazy oafs. Ain't nothin' wrong with taking advantage of that, is there? /inb4 "OMG I HAS MORALS"

The first way to do so is to buy cheap and sell high. Specifically with materials. People are always getting materials, and you just need to find out which ones this works best with. Look at the auction house, and find a material that this would be desirable to do with.

The process of buying the material is easy, and it is not by the auction house. Remember how I said players have these materials stocked up in their inventory? That is money just waiting for you. Using the auction house will not contact them directly, and using the auction house to find low prices is inefficient. Go to a fairly crowded Haven, and advertise the material you are buying, and at what price by simply saying it in chat. This price is going to be under the auction house price for a good two reasons. 1. lazy players don't check the auction house, and 2. lazy players get the convenience of not having to put the material up on the auction house. Remind them this if they complain.

Then, once you have bought the material from the lazy for cheap you can place it on the auction house and sell it for a reasonable price + where the price of those materials are currently at. Now who in the heck will be buying those materials off of the auction house? More lazy people, not willing to ask around for materials for cheaper. They want it "Now!" so they use the auction house to buy materials.

Another thing that lazy people do a lot is put things on the auction house with low bid prices. Other people that will do things such as put stuff for 1 crown bid is if they aren't fans of being undercut and don't know the true value of the item. Search the auction house for these low bids, and try to see if you can win a few for cheap and then resell them for profit :)

Number 2. Playing with the CE market. The CE market is accessed by the small light blue button that looks not unlike a circle with a minus sign in the bottom right hand corner of your screen.

Note: This will require at least 100 crystal energy, and you will not always be able to profit.

This is another fairly easy pocket change maker. It is also the ulimate pocket change maker, since you get such minimal profit. Regardless, it is a constant stream of profit, unlike playing with the auction house.

Basically, how the energy market works is that there are two buttons when you open it up: "Sell now" and "Buy now" buttons. This shows the current "best offer" (which isn't at all the best offer or your money's worth) in order to quickly buy 100 energy or sell 100 energy.

And who wants things "Now! Now! Now!"? The lazy. We get to take advantage of that, and hey, it was their choice for wanting their transaction to happen instantly!

There is also another way to buy or sell energy. This is by hitting the "market" tab. You can post offers manually to buy or sell energy, plugging in your own price, and how much offers. This is where the "Buy now" or "Sell now" buttons come from in the first place: the best offer in the market tab.

So the goal here is once again: Buy low, sell high. But before you do that, you have to find out if you will even make a profit!

Note that selling energy will have a 2% fee of crowns.

Get out your calculator, he or she is your best friend. And preferrably a physical, real one. The computer calculator isn't operated as easily and can distract you from watching the market.

Here are your simple and easy steps to find out if you will make a profit:

1. Plug in the desired number of crowns you are willing to sell your 100 energy for. This offer should be the cheapest / best available offer in the market by a few crowns, for those lazy people who hit the "Now!" button.

2. Take that number and multiply it by .02 (this is finding what 2 percent of that number is). This is how much crowns you will lose upon the transaction, the 2% crown fee of selling energy.

3. Take that small crown fee and add it onto the number of crowns that you are willing to buy energy for. This offer should also be the cheapest / best available offer in the market, for the lazy people who hit the "Now!" button.

4. Ask yourself: Is this number lower than my original offer to sell 100 energy? If no, then you will not profit. If yes, then you will make small profits.

Let's do an example. Let's say people are selling energy for 8720 crowns (note: this is not at all what people are selling energy for at time of post. This is just an example). People are buying energy for 8450 crowns.

We are going to list offers to sell at 8710 crowns and buy at 8460 crowns.

1. 8710
2. 8710 x .02 = 174.2
3. 174.2 + 8460
4. Final number is 8634.2. Is this less than our buy offer? Yes, it is! Yay for a small profit.

Then, you place the offer to sell your energy for 8710 crowns.

After it sells, you buy energy back for 8460 crowns.

And you made a profit of about 76 crowns. Pat yourself on the back!

Now, the reason I highlighted the word "about" is because of an important reason. Your offer might not be a static "8710" when you go to sell it. You might be undercut. If this happens, you may have to keep undercutting in order to get that lowest price.

You might have actually sold the energy for 8705 crowns, and bought the energy for 8468 crowns. The reason you should be fine doing this, is that those little amounts of crowns won't throw it off entirely and you will still be profitting, just not as much.

Eventually, the energy market's buy and sell prices will sway around, forcing you to use your calculator again. And sometimes... not even get you profit. You have to be quick the the calculator, always ready to find out what small profits you will make.

This does not work 24/7 and you will not always be able to profit.
