That actually brings up a good question. Now that dungeons are nerfed into the ground what is the best source of gold in the game? Specifically where does the game create the most gold, not the place that drops the best things to sell on the TP.

Each PvP match is 2.25g distributed between 10 players. I'm guessing that's the biggest one.

Sparkfly mat farming route+Tequalt kill will net you about 8g, 10g on a good day and depending on drops, you NEED the watchwork pick though as that's a big source of your money from the sprockets that randomly drop.

Try picking up a hobby, maybe an art form, so you can draw pictures of your GW2 characters during downtime.

I'm guessing its coming in the form of drops you get from the new zones, you get so much boxes of gear thrown at you.

Pop on some netflix and walk around picking poo poo up to turn into ascended stuff (spiritwood, deldrimor, etc) Its not glamorous, plus probably less efficient than other stuff. A lot of the new HoT stuff is still pretty expensive, but that market is collapsing by the day. You can learn to flip stuff, but it takes a lot of effort for sometimes not a lot of profit. T6's always sell! But thats a good way of making a lot of money quickly, but not a lot of money over time :v:

Tequatl is still worth a direct 2g per day on success, couldn't say if there's more people getting credit than finished PvP matches though. Fractals don't even give a full gold just for completing anymore I think.

What's your account name (or character name)? I'll send you one of the 'dyes to get started with on a budget' packs composed of my favourite reasonably priced dyes that I've put in the guild banks a few times.

The specific daily completion rewards aren't really any different to before but from what Kessel was saying the actual stuff dropping in fractals is worth more than it was before so it works out to more rewards.

Store some on your alts that you don't play. I don't know if it is still possible but you could have made your own guild and constructed guild storage.

What a weird concept :v:


I guess using materials would probably be a good idea though. Of course, to level crafting I'm going to need way more of the low level materials than I have and they're insanely expensive..

They are pretty great.

I made a good 80g on buying coarse sand and selling glass mugs i crafted with them through jewelcrafting. Maybe on your server the price is still good for that? 9 coarse sand still nets 3g if you craft it to a mug on my server

I forgot about teq dropping a decent gold reward, that's not a bad source. It still seems like without dungeons creating new gold there not many sources of new currency anymore.

That's fine for me, I have enough to do whatever I want. But it might be a problem for new players. Dungeons provided a reliable way to get enough gold for gear. Now they are at the mercy of the TP.

Yeah you get a bunch of poo poo you can sell on the TP, but the question was about the game generating gold and not tradable commodities.

You can do 5 easy mode baby fractal islands a day (2 recommended dailies and then complete the mid tier one with swamps) for 3 pristine relics and, well I wound up with I think something like 48 +1 infusions, including using the three free encryption keys after today's set. Plus a bunch of junk I didn't really count. With purchasable fractal weapon boxes after doing scale 50 it's more compelling than "will I get something besides a poo poo ring today? Oh, today's roll was 'nothing'".

Fractals don't suck anymore? Last time I tried em was like a year ago, people kept dc'ing or being bad and got votekicked, but there was no way to get a fresh member, and if the leader was dc'd then we all got kicked out of the instance and lost all progress, and even the rare successful run took an hour. Tried like 10 times within a week then swore them off.


Server's laggy as fuk right now too.

I tried making a new alt to try the paladin out, the catperson intro is really short!
