Default Best, Quickest Money Making Build

Hello, i was just wondering what everyone uses to get all the cash for that perfect sword or axe they want.
I know a range of builds, for example: HM Spider Farm, 55 UW, Solo DoA. But i can never seem to get enough money fast enough.
I would like to know some Colossal Builds or something as ive never seen a build for them been past around. But then again whatever you use to make the best money possible i would like to know for mine and other's uses.

Thank you in advance

Personally I think FoW and UW is a waste of time. It takes like 30-40 minutes and you make maybe 2k, and a chance of an ecto. My farms make me maybe 1k+ every few minutes. I do the hydras+griffins outside of augury, arborstone explorable, Gates Of Kryta, nolani reach, and some others that haven't been farmed out yet, all in hm.
This build>all

Enjoy. And for places where there is kd, (everything but gates) substitute blessed signet for that one derv enchant, fleeting stability or something like that.
EDIT: I would like to know the build for solo doa

I can only assume he is reffering to the Necro Solo Veil Farm.

Even something as slow as W/Rt can do a solo smite run in 15 minutes, and get on average 1 ecto a run. UW is still the best for a steady source of gold, 30k an hour easy.

IMHO i'm getting sick of these " I want money, fast painless, and want to do no research " threads.
Just take any of the threads started here and try farming with them. After the hm update you can merch less, but should get better drops. (Not getting much of those farming, or vanquishing :/ ). For steady money in come go run somewhere in tyria.

The W/Rt UW solo can be done in 10-15 minutes with average of 1 ecto a run, really sped up since removal of aoe scatter.

55hp Mo/D with mystic regeneration, shield of absorption and shielding hands probly is > than any other farm build atm, can do most stuff in HM, only energy denial and enchant removal can kill you, for the rest your basicly invincible,no matter how many attack you.

The Rt/W build is good for the Underworld as well. It's faster than W/Rt and is less fragile against nightmares than E/Me.

From what ive heard now i guess anywhere thats possible to farm in HM is a good farming spot, for instance Gates Of Kryta with a 55, Moddok Crevice with a Wamo.... and others i shall not reveal as they are very good

But as most of you said, FoW and UW are still very good ways to make money, and even better if you can do it in hard mode (I duo UW in HM )

Hmmm, seems ele swords are very popular at the moment, guess we gonna have to be doing some chest runs

*Yawns*

I get more money than I'd say I actually need by 55ing the Corsairs outside the Astralarium and going through Fahranur, the First City.... both on Hard Mode...

I mean I average around 1 gold a run on the Corsairs... maybe 2 average in Fahranur... and merch all the chalks and opals. Got a White Dye yesterday too, which I just stuck in storage (since I like collecting dye).


More to the point though... why spend your time farming to collect money to buy the weapon you want..... when you could just be farming directly to get the weapon you want? o_0;
Is it a weapon that can't be farmed... and if so... what?! ...

endgame items can't be farmed.

I wait for special event items to show up, and just farm them like mad crazy. The money I make last me to the next event.

taco salad knows whats up. I made over 250k in a few hours farming legs and webs for that pig holiday (new years?). Outside of holidays I usually do the Rilohn HM spider farm. Its good money, comparable to UW, plus its 10 times easier.

The thing about farming is that you have to actually do it, a lot, if you want the best stuff. Simply having a good build/location and doing a couple of runs every now and then isn't going to get you anywhere. IMO, thats why most of these 'wtf were is teh moneyyy' posts pop up.
