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.
Why are you here then? Everyone is here to either learn how to make money or tell others how, no other point in a farming thread.

I don't think you understand what MR Groovy is saying, at all. You can't just do a few farming runs and get rich quick, that is not how the world works, you gotta grind to get money, you can't just expect to be a millionaire after three runs of solo uw.

10 points Mikey!!!

Even lucrative farms need to be worked at, otherwise they not "farms"

Farming = Repeatedly killing the same group of creatures for money and items... Going once or twice aint farming...

Then why you playing it if it aggrivates you every time you wanna do something???

Try this: Farm for 30 mins, then go do a mission, farm 30, mission... This is how I play and it works nicely... The missioning breaks the monotony of the farming, and the farming nets you nice gold and items...

I find farming fun, although I don't repeat places endlessly.

I can understand what he is looking for. The most farming places and builds on this forum are about farming a 'rare' item, but if you don't get that 'rare' item, you wasted your time. The amount of gold you earn with those farm isn't that high. So, I think he is looking for a farm that just gives you a lot of cash 30k/hour, 50k/hour? you say it.

But I am afraid those farms are pretty rare atm, coz Anet nerfed the drop rate. Except those rare items he don't wanna farm

I farm for fun and gold, but I NEVER farm the same place for over 30-45 minutes.

Well heres my suggestion for economy money making. Currently the ecto prices are in the toilet. about 5k each. What will happen is that people will stop farming them and FoW armor seekers will buy from the traders. once that happens the price will rocket up again. What I suggest is to buy a crapload of ectos for 5k each and wait for the spike. then sell them.

Chances are im gonna go into stock trading when im older. loool.

This isn't going to happen. Take a look in ToA and you see that most of the "players" going into UW are bots.

With the loot code in place and ecto can be sold to the trader for a fair amount of cash, it is the only way these days for the ebay gold selling ppl to make money.

But then again every cloud has a silver lining: my necro's FoW armor will cost me half the price i would have payed for it a few months ago.

Pretty much any fast farm will do...minos, hydras...if it's on HM.

Hell...if you're willing to do things methodically, FoW Ranger and Warrior, and UW Ranger, Monk (duo), Warrior, and Rit are all good.

Don't forget FoW/UW necro. Still works in HM, gettin lotsa ectos, shards and golds (got a nice req. 9 fire ghostly staff from smites, sold for some nice coin)
other places i farm with my necro:
proph titans (DNKP)
NF titans (exuro and friends)
Rilohn (N/A with dash+SoH+SS, in HM)
outside serenity temple (leet drops, actually)
and all the old places, UW/FoW/Trolls/Minos/Hydras/Griffs (HM, of course!)
many many more as well. pretty much anywhere in HM works, /agree with blade.

So do you suppose the Ecto price is actually going to drop even lower?

I might have to consider investing for future sets of FoW armour myself...
.... Not for Necro... blech... >_<; ...
... Not for Assassin... fence-tangle much... ¬_¬
.. Not for Monk or Elementalist... both boring... v_v;
. For Ritualist. Teapot-head FTW.
Maybe for Dervish too. Dervish FoW wins at life.

O'course... before then, I'll hafta farm Colossal Scimitars, Zodiac Weapons and whatnot to death and sell them at prices that would have made traders' eyes falls out a month or so ago.
