Default Makin' 'passive' gold.

So I've been thinking, what are some ways in guild wars that a player can make a decent array of gold without trying as much. For example, I'm thinking a player can make a 3 hero build that can kill Zaishen areas getting faction- letting the NPCs do all the work. Also, some farms, like a cryer for vsf doesn't even require effort until the very end- the sin does most work. Gmmm, any other ideas?

I do something called garbage collecting.

I pick up all the drops people don't want and sell them to the merchant.

Somewhere between 600 and 800 gold is better than none, am I right?

Open Treasure chests. They give nice gold/time ratio, even if they turn to purples.

Predictions, and don't sell the keys for less than they are worth. People will offer ectos and all kinds of garbage and they will tell you that the markets saturated but that's crap. There are always guys with money trying to increase their title, easy money.

1. AFK Glint farming: Bring a friend and set heroes (3 on each side -> collect cores when you are back in town.

2. Buy items/weapons/mods cheap and sell high in auctions (10-30% return is good). Things take less than a minute or 2 to list.

Hey that sounds interesting! I still need loads of cores for my warm comfy mittens for the winter ^^
Mind sharing the builds you use with us?

And beaten it again.
And beaten it again with different character.
And beaten it again in hard mode.
And beaten it again for friend.
And beaten it again for boredom.
