Hello everybody..Ive played through to Droknars forge, And i seem to be quite poor still. I barely had enough money to buy the Knights Armor there. I currently have about 10k, since i sold all my Materials...I would love to have a bit more money to play with, buying better items/armor, including a better sword. Im a level 20 W/Mo, And im wondering if someone could give me some places to farm, and Tips and Skills needed to do it best. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me with this. And of course, due to Arena Nets Nerfing, It would be best for you to PM me the information. If you feel its okay, You can feel free to post in the thread the information, but i think its safest through a PM. I will try and reply to posts and PM's as soon as i can, But it may be a few hours before you can hear from me. Any help, Any at all, is greatly appreciated.

Tricks of the trade, are you a business person?

Try collecting and then reselling for a higher price.. it always works ;].

Hell.. I bought a Eternal Bow for 1Plat and sold it off for 15 and it wasn't even good at all.. its all in the matter of time you spend and which person you find.

Good luck with it.

P.S. I personally don't farm much at all, so I rely on my persuasive and coniving skills

Well..I dont really know everythings prices and havent been able to find any sort of guide. I dont even really know what is good and what isnt..I just know the basics

. Thanks for the tip though. I tried doing that lightly earliar, I saw that the Material Trader was offering 17 gold each scale, so bought about 150 scales at 10-12 each, and sold them all

If you have the time I would do what ForeverGoNe suggested. There is a chance that you could make easy money. However, farming is the way to go, as it is guaranteed money, and you have a chance to make big money as well (superior vigor/absorption find)

Theoretically, since you are a monk secondary, you could try a standard monk AoE smiting build, although you will have less energy to work with. If you can get around 35-40 energy on your warrior then you can pull it off. Just get some skills that do damage to surrounding foes and some good healing spells. Then, unless you are totally unlucky, you should recall yourself (or at least your teammates) getting quite good drops in certain places that you traveled through. Visit those places solo and there is a good chance that you will get a lot of good loot there.

Interesting, I have to go out and buy many of the Monk skills..I just changed from W/Me So i have a limited number of skills.. The best drops ive gotten so far were during the Thirsty River mission, but that would probably be tough to solo..Atleast for me. We had like..5 purples, and 3 golds drop during that mission.. Ill try it later on tonight, And if i cant do it alone, I could always have some friends come too. And we could do it together

You *need* this skills to farm as a monk. They are pretty much the easiest way to do it.

Balthazar's Aura
Symbol of Wrath
Zealot's Fire

But if you have a group of friends willing to farm with you, I suggest you simply be a normal warrior to help them out and you guys can split drops. Since you don't have to worry about shouldering all the responsibilities, you don't really have to be built like a farmer.

Thanks a ton everyone.
