which class is the easiest to make money with? - Guild Wars Forums

Lawnmower · Oct 08, 2006, 04:40 PM // 16:40

I am too stupid / incompetent to troll/hydra/whatever farm with my wammo, despite having looked on tons of guides and videos.

im just gonna start a new character, which only goal is to make alot of money in the fastest way possible! what is the safest, easiest and best class to make money with?

TheDriftingSoul · Oct 08, 2006, 04:50 PM // 16:50

Well, here's the problem. Farming with a wammo isn't exactly rocket science. So if you can't do that, your gonna find most(if not all) farming builds hard to run. I use a 55hp monk, but I dont really find it that much easier/harder than farming with my warrior. Good Luck.

Monkey Blonde · Oct 08, 2006, 05:04 PM // 17:04

Well, if you don't have skills to farm with a warrior, you won't be able to farm, I'm afraid.

As for what profession. Try a female elementalist. Try the /dance emote. Sorry I don't have a video, but it should be easy enough to figure out.

Evilsod · Oct 08, 2006, 05:10 PM // 17:10

Depends how you like to farm...

Farming bosses for greens? UW Farming? Repetitive mob farming?

You buy seeds. You dig a hole in the ground. Put some seeds in it. Rinse and repeat. Water all holes. Wait a couple of months. Harvest. GOGO FARMING!!!111111111111oneoenoenoeoenoen

Yes...the Wammo is infamous for being perhaps the most noob-friendly profession, as well as being a good farmer. You should try troll farming to get started - it follows a basic stance-farming strategy, which is how much W/Mo farming is done. It rakes in only one or two plat a run, but it's a good way to get introduced to the farming world.

And no, I'm not giving you a link - there's several instances of Troll Farming guides on the forum. :P

Yanman - LMAO!

Lavindathar · Oct 08, 2006, 07:39 PM // 19:39

I use an SS 55 Necro to farm Hydras and Trolls, and a full health SS Necro in the UW Due team for money, or SS or MM in SF Oro Farming.

Plus Necros are always wanted, be it ORO, ToPK, UW etc etc etc. SS or MM.

But if you cant farm with a warrior, give up trying to farm lol.

Silly Warrior · Oct 08, 2006, 08:01 PM // 20:01

You'll probrably only get golds if you take keys with you, there's usually a chest inside that cave.

haha, and there's even a farm just outside... oh my god I cant remember the original name for Sardelac... I need to make a pre-searing character...

Lawnmower · Oct 08, 2006, 09:48 PM // 21:48

know but i have done the hole cave 4-5 times now and almost all of them i didnt get a single gold drop. at most i got 200.

:/

when you say rakes in 1-2 plat, do you mean all the items that i get that im selling?

________

I tried using the same build(the bread and butter, cyclone axe, gladiator defense, live victoriously) with minotaurs. again no coin. just alot of minotaur horns.

can anyone suggest anything similiar to these type of mobs? easy not hard hitting mobs? I dont want things that knock me down, remove my enchantments and stuff.

Please please please mate... I'll die if I dont get my 15k armor. I just want my 15k. Please, help.. oh god, why wont you help???

Lawnmower · Oct 08, 2006, 10:15 PM // 22:15

guys.. help.. please help... or I will have to make my own begging guild.

"because we are cheaper than ebay"

Lavindathar · Oct 08, 2006, 10:16 PM // 22:16

Ashford Abbey :P

And trolls isnt very good for golds, just plat after selling your items that youve amassed.

Just because he can't farm with a warrior doesn't mean he can't farm at all. I'm quite incompetent when it comes to farming with warriors but I can farm with most other characters just fine.

Even though it's so cliche, I'd still say the 55 monk/spirit bond monk is the easiest to farm things with. If you're going for green farming though it's not really made for bosses of course. There are a lot of things the monk can't farm, but since a really important thing is rotating through different runs, there are a lot of different places you can farm with the same build, or with nearly the same build when you're rotating runs. This is good because you don't have to spend so much time changing around attributes and skills each run.

No matter what key to it is crop rotation. Farming the same thing over and over again exclusively will never earn you much money. And I'd give up on the trolls. Try farming things in the crystal desert. Basically you want to just keep trying to find more and more places to farm so you won't get "flags" on your account.

If you wanna try farming things with your warrior, try hydras and other things in the desert with it. Stop farming trolls right away because so many people farm it that you're never gonna get much good out of it.

isamu kurosawa · Oct 08, 2006, 10:24 PM // 22:24

The idea isnt realy to make money from direct money drops, but by selling the mino horns etc to the merchant (or salvage then trader). And as was stated before if you can't even solo with a W/Mo you'll never be able to do anything more advanced.

I have tried so many things... most things in crystal is a no no. same with ring of fire. same with southeren shiverpeaks.

i just want my 15k... i dont care about drops... i just need 15k... now. im impassionate, and feel I cant move on before i get the 15k urge out of my system. sigh

so trolls dont drop anything because everyone else does them? is there anything in cantha i can do that is similiar?

I tried kirin and stuff in pongmei valley... they dropped virtually nothing of value. same with dark brotherhood.'

tried with skaii, and outcasts.. didnt turn out to good.

i devours and chars and mursaat wont work either.

I need something like trolls and minotaur. something that is passive and almost wants to be killed.

The Abbott · Oct 08, 2006, 10:36 PM // 22:36

if making money was as easy as you want it to be everyone would be rich

tuperwho · Oct 08, 2006, 10:42 PM // 22:42

Don't sweat, man. I could never farm trolls with my war. either. However, I do use him elsewhere. As far as classes go, I've prob. done the most farming with my ranger (trap, vamp., etc.), followed by mesmer (55), and my new monk (spirit bonder) is catching them fast.

Also, when people say 1-2k per run, that includes picking up gold coins, selling all the white raven staffs (either ID them and they'll gain value, or expert salvage, collect the 10-11 wood each, and go to the crafter and turn to parchment, then sell), and collecting the troll tusks to take to the collector and trade for items worth 125 gold each. Even with all this, though, I'd say this number is a bit of an overestimation.
