Farming income
I've been farming for a little while now, and I would like to know what the average income for farming is, so I can improve mine.
I can make about 10-13k an hour Hydra faming with my 55hp monk.
How much can you make per hour/minute, and where do you farm it?

Shiroken farming at harvest temple with a spirit bond Mesmer is the best I have found. Can easily get 750-1250 a run which lasts about 2 mins. I have made up 4k a run after selling the lame golds. There is also the chance that you could get that really sweet gold too. The only prob is that it is very boring.

Droks running (if you can do it) can be dam profitable. 10k per run, 2 or 3 runs per hour.
As for farming, I can make around 10k an hour (and the odd gold drop/silver or black dye), 13k from the Hydra and about 9k from the Minotaurs with 55/Spirit Bond monk.
Alternatively, farm the FoW or something. My friend taught me, and on his show-me-how run, he made 24k in an hour. The most I have made there is 16k in an hour + a nice gold hp+30 sword + a crap load of glittering dust.

Elite missions, averaged to around 50k per 30 minutes if you have decent chests. If you have awesome chests, then you can get around 200-400k off of a single gold.
Chest runs are also profitable, around 100k in 2-3 hrs? It seems buying keys and getting crappy items are very wasteful, but it always pays off.

I like to run elona...5k every 8-10 mins or so averages out to ~the same as droks running and sometimes more.
For pure cash farm I just mo/n the minotaurs in elona, 30 second mob kills (as in mob clump time + 30 seconds = dead).

Just an fyi to the OP, people generally report what they earn in a best scenario run when they say how much they make farming, so don't take too many of these too seriously.

Yes I agree with XvArchonvX, people usually take best runs into acc. and some overestemate their profits. 3-4k in shiroken farming just from gold (money) drops or items is not possible even before they nerfed the gold item drops.
70-140k from running shiverpeak in 30min to 1 hour yeah right on.
stop lying people , yes decent money can be erned from each of the things/locations stated here but just not as much as all of you keep saying.
