GW is game to me not a job. If I get money as part of my playing that is all good, but not the reason I play.

Bergen is some good farming. Clearing the rangers and going to clear the Cursed Lands will usually net me 5K or so, plus the occasional gold.

Tingi · Jun 30, 2007, 11:16 PM // 23:16

I don't farm 'cuz it's sooo boring and pointless. Collectors items and the occasional green drop are all I need.

My average income is 0gold/hour. Minus some for whenever I buy a skill.

I tried farming at bergan, at a whopping 1k/hour it just wasn't worth it. 8 hours for one build? No thanks.

I tried farming at Fahranur city. Worse than Bergan.

I tried doing the 6 jade brotherhood run outside the marketplace. A little bit better than bergan, still not worth the time.

I tried Naphui. Still not worth it.

I tried green farming several bosses with my sin. Guess what? Not worth it, to reliant on spending hours spamming in town.

And it's been over three months since I could open in keyless chests. Stuck with the same builds, same armor, same weapons, same characters.
/endrant.

I'm at 25-75k per hour in HM DoA depending how lucky I am... I don't farm too often though.

Andisa Kalorn · Jul 01, 2007, 12:19 AM // 00:19

Average income? I really don't know. I haven't farmed since loot scaling but I have a lot more money than I did then. If I was making 30k per hour I wouldn't know what to do with it all. I've already bought most of what I want. I expected my income to slow down but I guess it hasn't. But I don't pay attention to how much I've made in any one hour.

In the past week or so though, I've been doing some pvp so that's 0k per hour. It's nice to not be moving money and items around between accounts.

2-7 hours - 6 days a week - foundry farming - 500k

AW Lore · Jul 01, 2007, 12:47 AM // 00:47

varies, but mostly i try to get 10k a day with just farming, plus any extra gold i make from playing the game or helping guildies, which sometimes reaches the 3-5k

HawkofStorms · Jul 01, 2007, 01:13 AM // 01:13

There are lots of ways to make money without even farming. For example, do the very first noobie Island NF mission in HM with all your characters (you'll get like 20k in an hour and a half, one time only of course with the masters reward).

Malice Black · Jul 01, 2007, 02:11 AM // 02:11

The words "farming" and "Guild Wars" in the same sentence...doesn't sound right.

My old farms were 8-12k an hour (trolls, vermin, and some areas in Maguuma Jungle with various enemies).

Right now, it depends. I'm currently farming with my Dervish and it is slow. But then, she needs some more skill points for the skill hunter title (I started playing with some builds and used up too many skill points on non-elites), treasure hunter, and wisdom. Fahrunur is a pretty good mix there. As far as gold, a full run (including ID'ing and merching items) take about 30 minutes and is between 3-4 gold - so 6-8k an hour. I'm too lazy to track it over time, I get a little over one run per TV show.

Clearing the Cursed lands with my 55 monk averages a little under 15k an hour (and this time I *did* do some averaging, also includes ID'ing and Merching stuff). It is probably the best ratio of ease and profit that I know of, plus it seems to drop golds like crazy - nice for that title thing again

Those are my two "main" runs, I also do the old Dead Sword farming run. It seems to give a pretty good selection of runes but they aren't worth that much any more, the amount I get per run is too random for me to make a close guess, I would say 8-10k and hour.

I never farmed for ecto, even in the old days. I found the run a tedium - I prefer ones where I can watch TV at the same time. But with the price of Ecto as low as it is I can not see how it is very profitable any more. The release of HM and loot scale really hurt the high end farmers (honestly, I think that HM did more by vastly increasing drop rates of the rares that were farmed), for ones like me that Vabbian is a once or twice purchase in the whole game life cycle money is a little easier to get yet worth considerably more.

Do you guys think we should be able to earn money from PVP?

What do you do with all that gold?

I've had as little as 3k, and as much as 100k. Havent seen a weapon or shield that I care to go broke over about buying---if I farm it, and can use it, that's one thing, but to spend 100k + ectos over a sword, or shield, is ridiculous, IMO. My heros use drops (I've bought some runes for them). So, what the point of collecting massive amounts of gold?

Mystic Cobra · Jul 01, 2007, 03:01 AM // 03:01

Don't farm anymore...doesnt worth it and that suck.I still find the way to buy expensive stuff(FoW armor,tormented weapon,....)

Hou Lifu · Jul 01, 2007, 04:17 AM // 04:17

No steady income for me, just the usual days where I sell stuff and get a ton of gold, and the others where I don't do anything. Did all my gold-making a long time ago through buying/reselling Prophecies greens.

garethporlest18 · Jul 01, 2007, 05:34 AM // 05:34

I don't make money hardly anymore, I'm actually losing more than I'm making. But I can't farm much either. I did make about 3k in 25 minutes, which could be about 12k an hour if I would bother to spend my time doing it. But it's too boring.

Voltar · Jul 01, 2007, 05:44 AM // 05:44

haven't aggressively farmed since i got the armor in my avatar but i've pulled in about 60k just playing hm (currently up to sanctum cay). actually probably more since i blew like 15k on runes and crap for heroes and 60k on druid armor for my survivor when i finished her. mabye closer to 75k (oh, got the buried treasures with my necro finally too so that about 23k of it).

haven't done too many vanquishing trips yet (just in the ascalon area and the money for that so far stinks). the loot's been pretty lame and the 300-400g for finishing is kinda insulting. does that increase when you get into the higher-end areas?

ab, aspenwood and (do people play) quarry...and $100k if you're in the winning gvg team. honestly, i'd take the $100k over 100 ectos any day. btw, is that split up between all 8 members or $100k a piece? i'd stll take $12.5k.

Wolf2581 · Jul 01, 2007, 06:23 AM // 06:23

I do not farm. I am usually too busy enjoying the actual game.

This might come as a shock to you, so you might want to brace yourself. Some people enjoy farming, and playing solo.

I do not have a steady income anymore, I only play PvP now.
