I've thot of myself as a farmer mostly, but in the past month i've gotten the patience and trader knowlege to do this, ive made bout 200k in the past 4-5 weeks. If u know prices on things, this is a really good tactic. Expecially with farming spots being nerfed every 3 seconds.

I farmed real life money, by working, bought a magazine, entered a contest, won a mini Vizu, sold it and bought my FoW ingredients :P
However I got my Chaos Gloves (no, not on the same char as the FoW) by farming Magmas Shields.

You would still need to farm after you sell a vizu? shouldn't that pay for like 10 FoWs?

Reversal of damage now correctly triggers when the damage is dealt by an indirect source (ie retribution/holy wrath), this didn't really nerf the run, just means the smiter needs some kind of healing.

I currently have 105 shards, 13 ectos and 200k in storage...

All of the shards+the 200k I got from farming raptors in Birthday Event.

I can't find a way to get good money, since the only thing that worth a lot are rare minis, everlasting tonics, Crystallines, Eternal Blade, Obsidian Edge and Celestial Compass.
The chance of me getting one is really low.

I'm farming the UW in 600/smite, but I gain a small number of ectos and it will take a lot of time to get all the ectos...

And waiting for the next festival is not an option, since it will take ages until it will come...

I thought of maybe doing DoA full runs or UW full runs... what will net me more ectos/money to buy ectos?

I farmed tombs in the summer of 2005 (sigils going for 80k-ish <3 ), as well as pre-nerf riverside (runes) and gryphons (gold weapons). Got my fissure armor (~ 2,5 mill gold) pretty damn fast.
