Guild Wars 2

Well the way I figure it there are 3 ways. Which way do you think is best.

1. Find a Karma farm and get into a group. Plinx is good for this. There are however others.
2. Farm, literally. Go find every herb, tree and mining node. And kill everything in your way or ignore… which ever floats your boat.
3. Play the TP. Not sure how it works but it is obviously happening.

Generally I do Plinx till I hit DR then off to farm a bit. I would play the TP too if I understood it at all.

How does Karma farming make gold?

ive never been too good at playing the market either , but that is THE fastest most consistent way to do it if you know how

the basic principle is this, buy low, sell high

meaning camp the tp for heavily traded items and look for lower than market price deals and repost them for a higher price, if you find limited supply of items you can buy them all then repost at your price, something wich is harder to do here with th eTP being global and all, but the place order system helps with this

as far as farming remember everyone can do it, so while you will make money by sellilng everything, it will be slow going , consistent, but slow going and it requires the most time investment per gold out of the three

finding a karma farm isnt hard, but how do you turn karma into cash? theyve removed/nerfed into oblivion most if not all the ways to make money with karma, i guess one could farm karma and go buy cooking ingredients and just make dyes but just like farming , that will be slow going : /

How does Karma farming make gold?

Drops seem to be better during dynamic event chains such as plinx.

Oh, so you just mean farming for items / vendor/TP them, not a direct Karma to gold conversion? I thought I finally had a use for all my karma!

Yea, not all karma farm chains are good for farming gold.

Basically you want to equip a full magic find set and then go find some events that spawn waves of mobs that you can AOE to death for easy gold. A good amount of karma farm groups do these events but there are some that are great for karma but not so good for gold (straits of devastation)

Plinx is great for gold but the other events that go on around that area (broodmother in particular) aren’t that good for gold.

If you’re on at the right time, then the event to open up Arah is great.

Start out by doing the salvage scrap metal event. Contribute 2 scraps and then run over to crusader angaria. That event is bugged and will constantly spawn mobs you can just spam AOEs with.

After that you go and kill the giant.

Then you move to the middle. Try to stay by the stairs so you can tag as many mobs as possible, let others deal with the eye.

Now at this point you’ll either fail or succeed. If you fail then go back to anchorage and do the event to defend that, which involves a ton of mobs you can AOE. Then you repeat the whole process.
