In terms of locations, it really depends on your level and build. Few people are going to publicize their favorite farming spots in fear of having them nerfed. A lot of the builds you see here involve buffs and spells. Therefore, they're usually most effective against melee mobs that don't debuff or interrupt, i.e. white mantle (they'll typically only have one debuffer in a group), minotaur, hydras (their initial meteor will knock down and interrupt), etc.

15 Fire (major rune)
10 or 11 Water (major rune)
10 or 11 Energy (minor rune)

Skills
Well, I don't really wanna spill the beans here as I don't want it to get nerfed, but I used Fire, Water and even a Mesmer skill.

Location
Again...no sense giving that away for the nerfbat. Just find a good group of melee opponents and whack 'em down.

Im not sure what exploit your using but you have to be using something for solo farming with this get up? you have no healing in there so how do you sustain so much damage? and with 2 majors you are losing 100 health

Hmm, he's got water magic, so I guess he's using mist form, blocks physical damage for some time, guess he's farming a place with physical monsters, I do it myself too, 13 fire magic, 12 energy storage, 8 water magic, only minor runes and I wont die, dunno how he made that much money there though, I only make a bit more than 120k a day there, unless I find rare max items :P

Understand the cash came from selling runes.
I sold 5 major vigor for like 8k each = 40k (and kept one for myself)
Sold a superior vigor for cheap--only 65k.

That's 105k right there.

Sold some minor sword runes for 1k each.
Sold a superior axe for alot
Sold a major absorption for alot.

Before this 3-hour run, I'd only made about 7k total in 80hrs PvE through Droknar's Forge. and I'd only unlocked 0 superior runes, 2 major runes (for a different profession) and 5-6 minor runes.

During this 3-hour session, I unlocked 4-5 superiors, a bunch of majors, and a crapload of minors.

Next time I will try and keep track of how many runes I get.

Where?! How?! I've been playing since release and I think my total is 130k, + expenses for equipping 2.5 characters. I only have two superior runes unlocked, and maybe five major? Argh...
/me is jealous

He's botting. Plain and simple. That's where all the big cash comes from. If you stand in Seeker's Passage district 1 you'll see many bots running out of the exit over and over again. It's really pathetic. More money is not going to make you more powerful and you're well on your way toward a permanent ban.
