How do people make so much money? - Guild Wars Forums

Undead King Knight · Mar 09, 2009, 10:41 PM // 22:41

Seriously i see bids for 1000ectos and more. It really is confusing on how they get the money they have.

when youve played as much as some of theses people do then you too will be rich. things like rare drops and good GvG guilds have no trouble getting tons of money. also there are people who one do one thing, they farm farm and farm more. also zaishan keys are a good way for money.

Undead King Knight · Mar 09, 2009, 10:47 PM // 22:47

Wow really quick response. Thanks for telling me.

Junato · Mar 09, 2009, 11:08 PM // 23:08

Thing is you are at a point where you can only make money by doing quests.

I made my first million in only 4 years by opening Gates in Pre for 50G....or was that a dream?

Snograt · Mar 09, 2009, 11:55 PM // 23:55

The richest of the rich got that way by power trading. Just like in the real world, buy low - sell high. And do it many, many times.

dilan155 · Mar 10, 2009, 12:11 AM // 00:11

as per snograt's suggestion, keep in mind you need considerable skill in scocialism and a very good knowledge on the prices of what you buy and sell, i myself have lost close to 300e over the years from bad trades.

That's the funniest thing I have heard all day. Thanks for the laugh.

You probably could have got 100G per run!!!!

Undead King Knight · Mar 10, 2009, 12:33 AM // 00:33

Sweet more responses. Yes i have done the Xunlai Tournament House but i use keys all the time got lucky once with r9 curses celestial compass. Maybe does maybe ill get better stuff next time. The power trading sounds good, guess ill have to learn prices ><.

Edit: I does realized how similier my two forums were. If someone wants to delete this forum (or what ever its called) go ahead i can get answers off the one in farming.

Tramp · Mar 10, 2009, 12:42 AM // 00:42

If you put on your slumming clothes and ask about 4,000 people a day for 50g to open storage, you will be called nasty names by 3,600 people, and 400 people will give you the 50g. That is 20k per day! Never tried it myself... but just a thought.

Same as Snograt said..powertrading is one of the best ways to make tons of money. Maybe slow at first but you will get use to it.

One of the things I've always liked about GW is that you really don't need money to have fun.

I used to play another MMORPG that shall go nameless, and you couldn't do anything without either having a boatload of money or spending 99.9% of your time leveling some stupid skill so you could do a quest. Decent armor would set you back over 1 million gold pieces. Decent weapons almost as much. And they wondered why they had such problems with gold sellers. Their economy sucked.

GW, in my opinion, has none of those issues. I don't find any of it unpleasant or a grind. Exploring and/or completeing quests gives you enough money to get what you need for your character. Weapon drops are relevant and usually useful to a character at that point/level. Now that most of my characters are lvl 20, I'm getting excellent gold drops and great items from high level chests and weapons I don't need ATM I can save for either my heros or another character. Just from running around and exploring, two of my characters have elite armor, and although it's fancy, it's not required. My ranger has regular armor and that's fine by me, I'm in no hurry to get her elite. It's all very laid back.

So really, you don't need tons of money.

Undead King Knight · Mar 10, 2009, 01:43 AM // 01:43

Well going for party animal title and i need like 550k. Already got armor/weapons done. So titles only thing left really

noneedforclevernames · Mar 10, 2009, 01:46 AM // 01:46

You can massfarm 15 hours a day and make ~~ 700k gold / week

Anyway back to the topic thanks for info and such. Also Stop the Storm i do have multiple elite armors for my warrior, but it toke my a bit to get 1 after another. I still cant believe that people get that many ectos from power trading and such.

D A R K S O I F O N · Mar 10, 2009, 02:31 AM // 02:31

it's not hard to farm for gold. I simply do hm uw 55/ss way and hm solo destroyer core farming and in 1 day i can accumilate 110k gold plus some nice gold weapons and elite tomes. It's not hard to farm just have to have the right build and areas to farm.
