regular drops for each mountain troll and giants are around 100 gold if not a bit more. this adds up to a nice amount while your waiting for an elite drop especially if you kill a pack of 8 of them.

still ... not all enemies can and do drop gold ... peirod ... I go and take out 8-16 trolls and get 145 gold and a crappy 10-17 white flatbow? The battle alone will take a minute and change and doesnt really seem that efficient when sharing with a few other members. At that rate in a group of 4 ... I would make 2 plat in one hour fighting constantly... I go up snake dance all the time, and perdition rock ... but still the drop seem poor (cash i mean) and the items even worse.

Sounds like a long way of saying farming

But yes, even a little farming can go a long way.

I know sometimes when you do something too many times the drops start becoming less. I've noticed that if I farm a mission over and over and over etc instead of getting two drops for killing a pack of two enemies I start getting 1 drop. That's usually when I start switching up what I'm doing.

yeah its funny but ther is still plenty of places to aquire legit gold and that they dont know. one of them is that marhan grotto chest, the other is kryta gate if oyu go behind house they still drop runes, whic sell. another place is delasio seaboard, place to aqure money near dunes of despair go out activate gate, find 2 chest wulay
and ther liek 10 sand giants ther too/////////but i think it got nerfed....wink wink wink

RTSFirebat · Jun 22, 2005, 09:04 AM // 09:04

Gold is fairly easy to come by if you know how.

Needless to say it does involve a minor amount of farming. How and where I do mine is for me to know and other to never find out since I don't want my farming areas nerfed.

darkblue · Jun 22, 2005, 01:50 PM // 13:50

if you play the market right, you can multiply your gold really easily.

for instance i started off with 500 gold and invested it in some newbie who was sellign black dye. took it and sold it for 3 plat... rinse repeat and looked for deals... traded items that players wnat, etc. now im at 100 plat just by about a day or two of trading.

Bloodyblackthorn · Jun 23, 2005, 03:08 PM // 15:08

spacemonkeymafia · Jun 23, 2005, 04:03 PM // 16:03

It's what I do to: started in Iron until I made enough to buy Black dye the stayed with black dye till I made enough for a sigil and now I buy and sell sigils make an easy 10K all the time. (sometimes more)

BTW farming is for losers (cept in FoW for shards and ectoplasm)

EmperorTippy · Jun 23, 2005, 07:00 PM // 19:00

You farmers are going to hate me once I get my Fissure armor so are the PvPers. I will spend 1.4 Million on superior beastmastery runes raising the price so high you don' no what to do and once you all farm em I will sell 1.4Million worth of them in like 2 miniutes and crash the market. Same with black dye and superior vigiors and basically any item which I feel the price is to outrageous for will be faced with my massive gold powers. I also have 4 friensds who are going to do this.What fun the markets will be when we nuy 200K weapons and give em to newbs for free.

In case you cant figure this out 1.4 *5 = 7 million/125 (the cost of a superior beastmastery) = 56,000 runes that will be bought from the trader ( just give the extras to our friends and guildes to hold) imagine the price rise. The once they hit about 70K we sell all that we have and lower the market again.

Now imagine this with a new item every week. What item do you hoard in the hopes that we make it worth lots or decrease its value drastically? You never know.

Muhaha!!!!

suzumebachi · Jun 23, 2005, 07:18 PM // 19:18

don't the traders go out of stock eventually?

now imagine if you bought out every single trader. that would surely **** some people up.

What fun then sold every item for 1 gold. Massive deflation and a fixed ecomony.

Emperor, I will back you up on that so much it won't even be funny man. When I first started playing, a RARE wep, max dmg, 20/20 charge or +15% dmg while >50% health went for like 15K. Now they're over 100. It's cause of all these bots players have running around. I bought my 20/20 first staff for 10K. I'll be lucky if I ever see a Max Dmg fire staff with +25 Health going for 10K. I find it ridiculous how much money these botters are making, and how much they're driving the inflation rate up. AND, now you can't even sell a wep that isn't max dmg. I foudn a rare Vampiric Hammer 16-31 dmg, 4-1 life stealing, +20 health and +11% dmg when hexed, NOBODY would buy it. I tried for days. These botters make me sick. Add me to your friends list - Skye Spellbreaker, and when you want to crash the market, I'll throw my cash in the pot too.

Peace.

Mhm, crashing the market. Maybe it would help bring back beta.... Mhm... Beta....

XENOGEARSHARINGAN · Jun 23, 2005, 08:09 PM // 20:09

lol that would be funny to crash the market but then arena net would soon find out wat is going on and they would probably somehow stop it. they do monitor this game that why they nerfed farming, if they see a bunch of runes being bought they will supply the merchante more. but it could work only question i have is how you gonna give 57,000 runes to your guild mates inst . oh and another thing wat couses the price for runes at rune trader to go down and up is it because people sell them those runes and couse sup vigor went down alot it went down to like 50k. which is wack since i finaly got 3 of them yesterday with my precious ettins. i think ill just hold them till the weekend when prices go up again.

EmperorTippy · Jun 23, 2005, 08:39 PM // 20:39

I just used the runes as an example. Do it with anyother item say steel or shards. Exactly its people selling to the trader now would you try to sell for more by selling to another person? Prolly. Other person won't buy because they fear that the value of the item will tank. If it tanks and now that sup vigior costs only 15K 2 hours after you paid 60K for it you would feel very bad and be very leery of making purchases becasue the value droopes so much.

As for ANet noing what is going on good for them. This is supposed to be a temperort fix until they implament some goldsinks. If they see me crashing the ecomony they may very well put in the sinks and I go away, to return when inflation gets to high again.
