Well I haven't played very much, but I was wondering -- how do you make such a ridiculous amount of cash???

On a slightly related note: what do you do after you work through the story to TotK? Just grind to 20? I am at 14 right now, and I def don't want to be grinding all teh way up to 20.

In beta you could explore the explorable areas and find all the outposts, or you could try some PvP. Once the game releases we will have about 11 more missions, so you will be level 20 long before the end of the story in release.

I really don't know how to make much cash. I've heard farming Riverside and Seaboard give you lots of loot, but I haven't done that yet. you could also take those items that are too weak for you and sell them in Ascalon City for a bundle.

If you're just looking for gold, it's actually easiest to gain lots of gold quickly by heading back into lower level areas with high monster density. For example, if you're, say, a level 20 elementalist with decent armor, you can walk right out the front of the Nolani Academy, wait until all the melee charr surround you, blast them all dead with one Phoenix, then easily take out the handful of ranged attackers, collect the loot, then restart the mission and repeat until rich. Won't get any decent items off low-level monsters, but it's probably the fastest way to rake in gold.

Ive noticed that to be more of a time waster actually(above post).

It is probably the easiest method to run earlier missions for quick gold and cheap item drops, but it is best to run a higher level mission if you can. Cause although 2 minutes in a low level mission can get you say, 20gold in loot, 10 minutes in a higher lvl mission could net you 200gold+. Plus you can get items that are actually sellable or useable.

My experience was from two missions:
First I did Great Northern Wall runs. Not too bad, net gold was about 80 after 10 minutes.
Then I did D'alessio Seaboard runs. Net gold was 200+ after 10 minutes. Plus half the time I got a rune, ring or a usable weapon.
