Curse

I'm curious about how certain professions could earn some good money (by doing UW/DoA/FoW/VSF).

1. Mesmers: I've always thought VSF pugs would love to get Mesmers as cryers. But it seems Monks with RoJ/CoP dominate there. Can Mesmers get into VSF nowadays? How about that Illusionary Weapon UW farm? is it still possible? What other options do they have?

2. Paragons: Can they get into DoA parties as Imbagons? Can a Paragon running Paraway farm VS with Hero/Hench?(since no one wants them in VSF) I understand it would be slow...but did anyone actually try it?

3. Rangers: Frozen Soil/Edge of Extinction is the reason Rangers might get into VSF parties. But anyone can run them right? So poor ranger might be left out. What other options do the tree huggers have?

4. Dervish: Best runners currently imho. But besides irritating the smiters, what other options do they have?

I'm a new player and would appreciate detailed info. Especially about Mesmers and Paragons.

1) Mesmers Have Signet of Illusions, to act as a ele. Take that, farm UW smites with practice. Must be hard to initiate though.

2) Paragons (and I think that any/P) can farm in doa (in only one point really) in HM just for gems and that kind of thing, but i dont know if that will make good money in the long term. Hard to do it.. really. And you should have gwen to get some skills... no more data on this

3) Sure, and anyone can run SF but that doesnt make him/her a perma.... Rangers are able to solo farm UW smites in a easy and "fast" way, you should search guru first. Maybe "Ranger having some fun at UW" would help. Is an smashing button build (but great fun for me)

4) PvxWiki got about 3-4 builds just for farming fow (beach to be more exactly)

A Me/Mo can easily, if not better, run the RoJ build that you see all the Mo/Me running, because of fast casting.

All professions have the ability to make money and the ones your picking are probably regarded as specialist farming - you have to have set build and know its usage.
Uwsc id assume probably gets boring after a while , VS farming same - even A.S.F made a post on getting survivor easily as he got bored doing vsf.
Theres a post i think made by Dark Ganni before with non specialist ( meaning any prof ) can farm Fow in a team.
If everyone decided to farm these places then prices will drop.

Personally id look into the diff ways money can be easily made and incorporate them into your farming chrs
eg. Taxi service , Quest running , material farming for consets , item farming for players and so on.
Also most will agree the way to make money fast isnt in a way farming but powertrading and thats how most get rich.

well for para's there is imbagaon in doa, fow etc. Theres the Burning refrain stygian veil farmer. There was also a P/D build with some derv elite that could solo smites in UW. I think theres a vid on youtube.

Outside of the elite area's though I've been feather farming recently in Jaya Bluffs. About 50 feathers in a 10 min run (salvage the feathered crests) with a VwK build. Good for free celerities (which I was going after), or if you want the money, a stack goes for about 7.5-8k, and its a stack an hour or so. Theres also the cheap whites etc that drop, so it probably goes up to about 9k/hour.

You can also farm the Jade knights outside the matrketplace in HM with a glads defense/Brawling headbut/on your knees build. Thats about 1.5min runs with gold armors as the mainn drops.

If you search (like it says in the rules thread), you'll find information like this.
