Search for Rare Skins myself or farm? - Guild Wars Forums

BothanSpy · Oct 18, 2006, 04:45 PM // 16:45

I see alot of people selling good items (15^50 axes or whatever) with rare skins in mass. These people are obviously rich. I want to be on that level, should I search for rare items myslef or just farm ecto or some other form of farming? I have a friend willing to farm with me, and I'm willing to use whatever class is nessisary. I guess what I'm asking is, do rich people farm those rare skins or just farm other items like greens or ecto and then trade for these rare skins or perfect weapons?

I would think they do "both".

You just never know if that item has been "recycled" through many different players. It's pretty much a cycle.

Whichever way they(you) do it. If you keep at it and have enough luck on your side, you will either get something of value to you(to keep) or to another that will compensate you with more money for you to buy what you want.

Mmm Some farm ecto a lot, some just do power trading with these items and usually get 5-20 ectos profit per sale, some farm them theirselves, and some do all of it lol.

like said above, good luck , have fun

PS: It's not as easy as it sounds

This is what I did when I farmed

Dual UW runs 5-10 runs
Fow solo runs 5-10 runs
Chest Running 30 keys <Shiverpeaks,FoW>
Kryta farming

The trick is to alternate that way you never get bored of farming the same place.

lilnate, not all super rich in GW have no life, one of my ex guild leaders, one of the richest person in GW probably plays less than most people do. I think you're just saying that because you have no money..just my guess

Well he must have played alot at some point to get that rich^^ no different to real life really, the uber rich dont work as much as the plebs! But I guess we all got to start somewhere!

Farming alone won't make you "uber" rich in this game. Once you have a small amount of gold (1mill) start investing in items which can be sold on for a profit.

you call 1mill a small amount of gold?? 0.o lmao and i thought i had a lot of money with 450k ^^

Franco · Oct 19, 2006, 02:11 PM // 14:11

lol 450k is not even enough for half of a fow set

BothanSpy · Oct 28, 2006, 05:55 AM // 05:55

Okay. I'm just gunna say it. The most money I've ever had was like 112k. I suck. Thanks for your suggestions. So monk is the way to go? Mo/Me? I don't suck, but I don't have much expirience with monks. Should I make and use a PvP monk in the few days I level up my PvE monk for unlocking skills and getting real expirience with monking?
