I have just been wondering which is actually better for the $$ on average, I understand that in dungeons you can get 1G+ Per dungeon Reliable and also dungeon tokens, But i have read stuff on some other sites about Dry top giving lots of gold, I did go there to see for myself.

Dry top is better if you don’t feel like exerting yourself, and much of its rewards come from getting lucky drops from chests and whatnot.

Dungeons will give you way more profit if you manage to be able to run them quickly. This means finding a good group or either friends or random people and using max damage builds and set ups depending on the dungeon and your class. Back when I did dungeon tours for my legendary, I did AC 1, 2, and 3, CoF 1 and 2, and SE 1 and 3 as a minimum. I added TA Up/Fwd if I had more time that day, and sometimes I did arah, hotw, or CoE, but bad pug experiences turned me off of those in some ways. I once had a spreadsheet to calculate the amount of gold a tour gave you (excluding champ bags and random drops) by adding in the statistical value of salvaging dungeon tokens.

Also, if you’re really hardcore, you can get the most dungeon profit per time spent by soloing (or duoing even) arah path 2 or 3, and then selling the paths, but it takes a lot of practice and time to be able to do that.

Dungeons are a far better source of gold for reasonably skilled and experienced players, even in PUGs. The rewards are specific and measurable: a set amount of gold, plentiful low quality items for salvage/sale as well as containers that have a decent chance of giving valuable loot. There’s also a very good chance for rare drops and the occasional exotic (although this is much less frequent). You can make a bit of gold off the tokens after you’ve farmed enough of them as well.

As far as I can tell Dry Top just gives you a chance at getting T6 mats. Some people like this kind of farming, but it’s much more of a gamble. The buried chests are a great alternative source of Dragonite though.

Unless you can solo/duo and sell some path, I would say that the first daily dry top run provides better profit than dungeons (as long as you can craft and sell a clay pot). After that, it would be all about how lucky you are with RNG sources.
