How do you make cash? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

just salvage everything u pick up, save it all up in ur storage and sell to a trader/player for a good price, its not rocket science.

If u play the game through u should have more than enough money/materials saved up by the time u get to droknars to buy armor, just save up and dont buy things u really dont need

if u really wanna be super rich, farm, and rip people off, selling things that r worth 1g for 1p and charge for running people to places. and just so u know i'm not one of those people, i have 5k in my storage and am on my third run through the game...why am i soooo not uber?!!! lol

Playing through the game is boring? Then why did you buy it?

PvP? Well you're in luck you don't need gold for PvP.

There is no grind in GW if you're a PvEer or PvPer. People make the grind.

You've got people who try to use their RP char for PvP so they spend insane amounts of gold on items that you get for free if you use a PvP char.

Then theres the PvE players who seem to think they need flawless items to play through the game.

Droknars armor with a max damage weapon is more than enough to play through the game. That'll cost you like what 20k (less actually 20k was for monk designs)? I had 30k by the time I got to droknars.

PLAY THE GAME

You don't need money.

You see all these people with 800k? Great? They've got 800k because they have nothing to buy... They can go ahead and get a novelty item like a 15%>50% max storm bow with 10/10 sundering 30 life 8 req. You don't need that to play through the game.

I personally don't think you've been playing properly. By the time i got to beacon's perch i had more or less 5K. That was plenty of money.

Plus this was my first character, and i got it all from doing missions with other people (sometimes we failed the mission, and had to do it over again, but this was a good way to get money)

Another reason why i had around 5K, was because i DIDNT buy ANYTHING, i only used the armor in old acsalon, theres no point in buying extra armor with just +5 more, no point at all.

I stayed like that till lion's arch when i needed an upgrade, which i did.
I didn't have any money troubles.

I guess maybe your just unlucky - but my advice to you, would be to jsut get on with the game, forget about money, forget about materialistic possesions - whats worse:

1) Having a 60% DP moments before completing a mission with your group - but you still manage to get into the crystal desert
OR
2) Grinding hours and hours at a spot which will hardly give you any money because your not in a good place yet.

Well i'd have to say (2) - its boring, plus your probably not farming in the correct place.
At the very worse, get a run to forge, get the skills you need, which will make you stronger, and then complete the kryta missions.

just farm those mountain trolls right outside of droknar's. sure they have been nerfed but you can still make 2-3k in about 10mins just selling those crappy drops to the merchant for 50-60g each and may be +100g if the item is precious. sure those trolls are difficult to kill but you make money. i once gotten a gold 5:1 vampiric bow out of one of these trolls but since, nada.

The origonal poster said he was not at the Desert yet, let alone Droknars. So how will this help exactly?

When you get a blue or purple item without any magical properties or upgrades on it, it is purple becuase it is max damage or close to max damage and is found in an area that max damage weapon drops are rare. Such as Lion's Arch. The same item would drop white if you where in Thunderkeep area.

I think we need to know your class/subclass and your build before we can give you any information about how to make money....making money is pretty class specific

This game is only a grind if you think you need the 15k armor.
