How do you make money? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

What is the big deal about money?

Just doing the quests and missions - sometimes more than once, helping out guildies and others - AND constantly purchasing expert salvage kits - I end up inadvertently farming enough to make a profit every day.

I guess the other thing is that I prefer going for collectors' armor rather than crafting. Free! And better than what you can have crafted, in general. More satisfying as well. Collectors are the way to go, imho.

the best method to get golds is farming, for me, everytime i play the game, i would farm in different area to collect golds or items (thats if im not doing missions or quests) If i get a white items, i usually sell it to the merchant. Purple and gold drops, i would either try to sell it to other players or to the merchant if no one is interested.

I don't have a big enough guild as I mentioned before and random teams are ussually ridiculously disorganised.

You don't need to BUY a decent weapon they DROP everywhere.

I need a decent necro weapon! I haven't seen a single decent drop for a necro item. Also I have had very few decent drops anyway as I have already mentioned. Any info on where I can find good drops would be appreciated.

My friends who I play with are not people I met online. They are friends I have known for a while. I like to help them get their new armour etc. They don't play loads so I help them out. Whats wrong with that?

First thing you should look into the collectors necro weapons. They are really good, till you find your elite weapon to show off to all of your freinds.

thanas my suggestio is....find a good build to famr high lv monsters, find a place wheres theres lots of them, then just farm for hours on end...i'd tell u my build but it'd be useless considerin only a w/mo or mo/w can use it

curserwigger · Aug 25, 2005, 04:26 PM // 16:26

To make money don't spend money. You get all you need just from doing the missions or from the collectors.

agree. I have the best protection already (and I didn't spend 15k a piece on it), not into jumping on the monk bandwagon (an therefore no need for overpriced runes) and therefore have nothing to spend my gold on anyway. Until there's a need for wealth: who cares?

DeepFyre · Aug 25, 2005, 05:33 PM // 17:33

there is no NEED for anything in the game ... no NEED for the game at all. it is oh so very easy for all you people with 1 mil in gold + another 3 mil in items saying there is no need for gold as you already have all the gold in the world....

Chillin-N-Killin · Aug 25, 2005, 05:46 PM // 17:46

so in everones option is the 15k armor just a gold sink or status symbol.

is it really better then forge armor ?

ty curser thought so

is the armor 5 more point then forge armor IE warrior from draknor is 80 armor is the 15k 85 armor?

curserwigger · Aug 25, 2005, 06:33 PM // 18:33

No the 15k is for looks and status nothing more...
