Anybody see the plant fibers go for 270 per 10 yesterday?

Noted.

I saw the 15k black dye yesterday, and the sell price? About 200g. Poop.

I think you still come out ahead selling the linen you can make from them. I'm waiting for iron to go up. I'll even sell at 100 if I can catch it. Been hovering around 50 and I'm trying to offload 763. Sucks now becuase it's taking up 4 slots.

Quick question, are memsers good for farming.
I have a me/mo and willing to switch to another 2nd pro if I can far with the mesmer.
I like her more than other characters and would not find to farm with her than my warrior.

If so then what are the best skills to have.

I sold all my wood via parchment, when it hit about 1k per 10. Think that's a pretty good rate for parch, to sell?

Those of us who hate farming will probably be poor forever then. :P

Interesting question. I don't see why not. I'd like to test this with my Me/Mo as well - a character that I dig very much. Off the top of my head - I'd start from what I know - applying some of the monk skills I use on my Mo/Me (e.g. Shield of Judement, Balthazar's aura etc) then modify from there. Then exploit the mesmer's strengths like fastcast, and, perhaps, Echo (to perpetuate Balthazar's Aura, for example) and/or Chanelling to keep the energy up. I'd definitely use the monk skills for dealing damage because, off the top of my head, I can't think of any mesmer skills that can handle multiple opponents as effectively. The key would be using the mesmer's special abilities to be more effective where the monk is lacking - because you don't want to just play it as a second-class monk-farmer. Hmm - I'll have to experiment a bit.

Think of it this way - most of us hate working but we still have to pay the bills and buy things like automobiles and really cool PCs to play (err... work) on.

Lately? Yeah. I'm sitting on a good gold weapon's worth of parchment if it ever hits 1k when I'm on. Figure it cost you 200 to make it, so you pocket 800 gold. Pretty nifty considering you don't have to actually farm to salvage stuff. You can play the game and make money passively this way.

A few sigils and a few droknar runs got me all the gold I'd ever need for my characters, present and future. Having 1000 plat is just for the ego boost. It's really a waste of time, there's no practical reason behind stashing all that gold.

AGREED.. I have nothing to spend money on anymore

Farming for me.. is like..... to provide people with good items for cheap. Honestly. There is no reason for me to do so anymore.

LET ME MAKE A NEW CHARACTER ANET PLEEEEASE >_<

im R/Me. Anyone know where can i farm ? -_-;;

a_scrawny_gnoll01 · Aug 14, 2005, 01:40 AM // 01:40

Here is how you make money:
Farm random areas for about a week or two, be patient.
Now you will have a couple thousand gold from items/drops.
Now wait for A-net to do some major change with merchants/economical things.
Buy lots of low price items and hoard them all away from others.
Keep these items and sell them at ridiculous prices to other people who weren't allowed the same opportunity you were.

Wait...this already happened!?!?!? A-net beat me to it...

TideSwayer · Aug 14, 2005, 02:43 AM // 02:43

Simple tip for those who sell weapons/shields/items/etc. to the merchants:

If you notice the weapon/shield/item you are selling to the merchant doesn't have a price in its description, use an ID kit on it to get one. Doesn't matter if it's an 'unidentified' item or not. The only thing you should be looking for is the price and whether or not it exists (sometimes drops come with prices, other times not). By comparing the price of your unpriced item in the 'sell' window before and after you ID it, you'll quickly realize that the merchant tries to undercut you on unpriced items. (Pretty real-world thing to do IMO - after all, he's trying to make a buck himself.) There will often be 10-40g added to the price. After only doing this to a few items that you plan on selling off, you can make back the price of the ID kit plus a little extra gold this way.

In the short term it may not seem like much, but long term it really adds up.
