hi guys
this is my question how do u guys get so rich
ive narrowed it down to these possibiblities

1. you play gw loads
2. you buy money
3. u hack/dupe
4. ur just lucky
5. uve found an amazing farm spot

nah im just joking what(but if u have a great spot im all ears lol)

i really want to ask is
1. wheer u guys get Q7/8's from
2. has this happeneed 2 u

a couple of weeks ago i was doing elemenatal farming. before i started a run i went throught the portal and then went back through it. i turned gw off and on respawning and then just closing it or going back into town. (becuase my mom kept on comming into the room to check if i was doing my hmwk) then wen i finally started killing the elementals and every group i killed drop the most valuable items on the run, granite slabs,boss gave me elite tome, mobs dropped golds and i got 4 saphires and 3 rubbies. this just may be superstitious crap but i wanna know if any1 else has eva had this happen to them or was this just luck?

1. q7/q8 drop anywhere, you're just really lucky if you get a max dmg one ^^ so you can't farm for em, you can hope for em.
2. just luck^^ just like in UW when you get an ecto from every mob^^

You simply save your money.. Very simple...

Though farming rare weapons, selling Unid golds, selling lockpicks, and farming ectos all help.

Thats the most efficient ways to make cash... IMO.
Rare weapons require luck which I dont have, unids on the other hand I get all the time. Lots of em too.. Easy to sell aswell

this is true.
but beware, powertrading can also end very badly,

Most ppl farm for cash - my sin paid for my gh and full services but not by uw farming - i didnt take that road when sf was buffed an u did max dmg , i tried to farm witmans folly and n kryta - both were giving me enough drops in golds/tomes/runes to make enough cash.3 weeks it took but i was only doin 2 - 3hrs a day in those ones and i was rotation farming to keep drops sweet.
Mines not what ud call a major cash earner but it was suitable as the rest of time i was on i was able to help guildies with quests etc.
Powertrading is a lot of ppls money earner but has 1 downfall - what happens if everyone decided to powertrade ?
Farming rare weapons can work but i dont try that - its bad enough tryin to find a price on something these days - guru is often way behind on prices and i hate ( and prob a lot others ) ppl who have an item for sale and dont display price , you ask price and the say the dreaded words "offer ?".Soon as i have one of those its nty m8 , we like to see price of things in real life before buying so its no diff in gw or it shud b.

Stand in Kamadan, make some trades, and find yourself with a stack of ectos or two. Works nicely.

Well, you can farm (read the stickies, tons of farms out there) or you can play through the game normally. I once did a test. I created a warrior and played through Nightfall without farming. I ended up with 120k. I just did quests, got random drops and always carried a few keys on me. Now imagine how you will get for 3 campaigns in NM, then HM and of course vanquishing.

Another good source of cash for me is doing H/H dungeons. The last chest is a guaranteed drop (even though I seem to get insane amounts of diamonds) and you always have the chance to get a rare skin drop.

you can powertrade buy ans sell zkeys farm ectos farm events, for instance farm lunar tokens and sell fro 25-30k a stack

polishrocker · Jan 31, 2009, 09:48 PM // 21:48

keep your eyes open. like i bought a q8 13^50 grape cryst for 300k, sold it for 800k. deals like this dont come often, but remember, READ THE PURPLE.

and for the q7/q8, you need to be really lucky. in eotn, keep a lookout at blues. i have had 3 blues drop q8 max, one q7 15al shield, so its good to pay attention to what you merchant.

Chest running has made me millions.

Find a good spot to chest run with inscribable items. ID them take the good mods off and sell them along with the low requirement nice skinned items separate. I can make about a 100K in a couple days with just chest running if not more depends on the drops. You can get alot of tomes that you can sell as well.

Also join a guild that owns a town and buy your own lock picks for 1200g. When you are selling your items you can sell lock picks for 1250g to make some more profit.

I have gotten many q8 items from chests in Factions in the past, I don't know how easy it is any more.

I used to do a ton of stuff earlier, when I was hurting for money, like:

Running Droks + Shiverpeaks tours, Eotn Tours etc
UW Farming
Fow Farming for shards,chests
Powertrading (minis, voltaic spears and obby edges are good for this, atleast, they used to be)
Selling unids
Farming for party,sweet,alcohol items during special events and selling them (I remember making 500k over the bonus grog weekend just by selling them to an ally who wanted to max his drunk title.)

Now however, I just do UW SC when I get bored, DoA with the guildies whenever I have the time and farm for feathers to make cons (which are popped like popcorn in most elite mission areas).

I am currently working on sweet and party titles (maxed drunkard 3 days ago

) and even though those are kinda expensive, I'm still doing okay cash-wise...atleast enough to buy 3 15k armor sets for my Sin's HoM.

Just play the game man, you'll learn to make money eventually. Just a matter of acquiring some skills.
