How Do You Make Gold Fast? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

ChoKILLate[FDG] · Sep 23, 2005, 08:07 PM // 20:07

Don't farm with a sword...it takes too long.

Hundred blade takes too long to recharge and is a waste on an elite slot for farming.

Basically when you farm, you have one of 2 options. Farm in an easy area and salvage the crappy weapons, sell the hides/horns, expert salvage the highly salavagable stuff (often you get steel or leather squares), and collect gold. Basically in an easy area you are looking for DYE drops!

In harder areas, you are looking for better weapons, more gold, better runes, and more experience. Here you don't want to salvage anything. Weapons sell for more than they salvage, most runes sell better un-salvaged to the merchant or un-IDed to another player. You might get 25g for a salvaged rune from the rune trader, but the IDed armor sells for 250gp at the merchant.

Now you can also get a small group to farm Sorrow's furnace for green unique weapons.

...<SNIP>...

I beg to differ! Here's my HB/Bonetti's/Balthazar gladiator farming the usual bunch in Crystal Desert

I salvage anything less than 100g value since raw materials consume less space in inventory, letting you maximize your carried yields each run.

I do agree that HB needs more teeth, but as an adrenelin builder, it's very reliable.

=O how would u get bonettis charged b4 they start attacking u?

Mavrik · Sep 23, 2005, 08:27 PM // 20:27

I average 15k roughly in a weeks worth of farming... usually a couple of hours a day... in areas where its not to hard to stay alive yet the drops are good. And I use a W/Mo.

That's what HB is for. Each HB-strike yields at least 2+ addrenelin, and it yields a lot as target crowds get bigger. You're also getting addrenelin from taking damage.

Okay...I know how must would rag on a solo build, but....that's how I make my gold....I make up to 30 plat a day using my solo monk in the desert...Personally, sand drakes and hydra always get me the most gold and some pretty sweet gold items to sell...And what I do with all my common white items and common magic items is I ID them...Makes the price go up a little...Cuz they normally don't show the actually price until you ID them...I do use expert salvage kits too, and sometimes the materials I salvage turn out to be worth more than the item itself...It really just all depends...But yes, like all farming builds, it does take time and you can't really make the gold with a snap of the fingers...You have to be patient as well as anxious..

100 blades is a very underappreicated skill, and lord_shar here has it exactly right. The value of 100 blades is not the damage it deals, though it does deal great damage. It is useful against individual enemies for a great amount of damage, and it is extremely useful against big groups for amazing damage and healing if you are getting healing from a vampiric hilt or active skill. But most importantly of all, 100 Blades is exceptional for building adrenaline fast.

Ya but vamp realy messes up your guys build right?

EndobioticChaos · Sep 23, 2005, 09:30 PM // 21:30

The quickest farming I've found is using the monk farming build outside of augury. I do two big groups of hydra (usually about 10) and then I group all the griffons. A typical run like this takes 10-12 minutes and nets 1,500 - 2,000 in gold (if you sell all your junk) and often you'll get a highly salvagable item or two (crafting materials), and sometimes even rare items. I never farm this more than an hour or two in a day, and one day I scored two black dye and a few gold items. If you salvage all your junk you'll end up with about half as much gold up front, but you'll probably make more in the long run.

Monk build?

funbun · Sep 23, 2005, 09:37 PM // 21:37

Best way to make money is to build a W/Mo and start a Professional Running Business.

Used to be but with so many runners these days it's not as profitable as farming any more. Especially since they also made the run to Droks a little harder.

Unless you're playing in a low level area, most items are worth more as salvage than if you sold them to the merchant. The chance of getting at least 1 rare material (or, say 10 common materials) from most items is pretty high, and you only need about 6-7 (of most types of) rare materials to make up for the price of the salvage kit plus what the items would sell for at the merchant.

I only sell to the merchant items that are precious, or that I've given up on salvaging after noticing they kept giving me only common materials... so, definitely, using the expert kit on everything isn't the best idea, but it's a good start, IMHO.
