I dont have a warrior but one with fowe armour who makes money by buying and selling perfect crystaline swords and other upper market items said the way he got his fowe armoru was doign the droks run where if are good at it and get a full party you can get 10k every half an hour-1 run- 20k an hour. Im thinking abotu making a ranger so I can do the run lol.

DoA is the way to go...you can make 100k+ in just one run. I would say get your warrior or derv there and learn to tank...you could earn loads of cash from that.

You could also find a green that you can farm that is worth a little cash and start farming/selling it. once you get more money start buying higher priced items and sell them for more then you buy them and work your way up until your trading stuff thats over 100k.(this is known as powerselling)

Back before factions was released it was easy to get a full party for droks runs, charging 3k a person, and I could make about 2 1/2 runs an hour. Now, with there being more runners than people who want the run, it takes too long to get a full party, so simply farming things like tusked howlers is more profitable anymore.

You can use a typical triple chop W/Mo build and farm vermin, it takes about 20 minutes a run (going through the zone at the end, and killing all vermin again) and gets about 4-5k average.

You could also go W/Rt (Assuming you have factions) and farm UW, or W/Me and farm spiders in FoW.

As a warrior, you have many options of places to farm to get the money for a FoW helm, check the farming forum for ideas on places you would want to farm, there are tons of threads for warrior farming.

That is a bad idea, a tank is not needed in DoA, the sooner people realize that tanks actually hurt a party, because it lowers damage output the better. If you want to farm DoA, go with your guild/alliance/friends that you know can play the game well, and you will have no problem clearing without ever having to degrade yourself to making yourself only useful to people who's only skill is to copy and paste a build off of wiki. The only 2 tanking skills you need in DoA are dolyak signet and watch yourself, fill the rest of your bar with damage skills, it makes the runs faster. (Do NOT try a damage build when running with a DoA cookie cutter team, they will fail without a tank, because they require it for their 1337 wiki build to work)

Me typing that was probably a waste, and I will most likely be told I do not know what I am talking about because I refuse to follow some crap build on wiki.

high five to you bro, i've been running damage tank in DoA since it started. i've never believed in degrading myself to a "Imma super 1337 tankzor rofl pwnt" guy. warriors were meant to be able to handle a crap load, and still own butt. again, im glad im not the only one who believes this

I think green farming in Factions is the easiest way to make money but the drop rate for those items has decreased making it less profitable. Nevertheless you can make a lot of money from selling a inventory full of "The Stonereaper" XP.

How far are you in each chapter?

Answer those questions, and I will give you the best spots for each chapter and profession.

Be patient when doing UW spider farming. Ectos don't drop all the time. It's not uncommon to get a couple on one run and go ecto-less for the 4-5 runs.

agrees wiht underworlder do warrior/rit and solo uw its easy.

Hi there... I was thinking about making similair topic myself. I got all the basic stuff for my chars, so now is the time for expenssive stuff (15K armors, uber weapons etc.) I have ranger and mesmer (Proph) warrior (Proph, Factions) and monk (Factions, Proph). All of them are lvl 20 and have good skills and equipement. I have NF also but i haven't completed it and my dervish is only lvl 16. So, what i', looking for is the fast way to get alot of cash, troll/griffon/vermin and other crap farms that get you 4-5K for half an hour dont have a place here. I am doing some 55 monking in UW along with SS, but ectos just dont like me or drop rarely

Maybe some solo build? Also, i forgot to mention - plz no powerselling - i dont have time for that, and my patience expires very soon

So, to cut long story short, i have around 1-2h per day to farm, and i dont have patience to do crap runs for small money but also i dont have DoA... any suggestions?

Now theres alot of this talk going around, how solo farming is dead and the world as we know it has come to and end.

Thats a bunch of crap. I've been solo farming since I bought this game 2 years ago and i've seen alot of changes made.
The recent updates made solo farming GOOD again (never like the old days though) but I've made more money since the last update then I have since the beginning of the year.

To the OP:
Take your Warrior into Cavalon (Factions), buy some luxon keys and in normal mode go outside and do some chest runs. Another good spot near by is "something Terrace" (can't remember the name) to the NE of Cavalon. Buy about 50 Luxon keys and spend some time with chest runs. Drops are Jade everything (jade swords are good money), runes, elite tomes, mods...etc. Make an auction on guru with your items and keep putting money in storage.
If you spend a couple days doing this, you should have enough items and gold to be able to get a good start on your armor.

The old saying goes "You have to work for your money" and it's so true

I made quite a bit of money by buying/ reselling minipets. I started cheaply with mini asuras when they came out, made about 200k. Then started re-selling mini kuunavangs and am up to like 300k+ 25 ectos.

All I can say is if you want to do it, I think buying/ reselling stuff is the way to go.
