Hi all,
I was wondering if I could ask all of us for advice; well, after HoT release I was used to make gold doing dungeons, but know I don’t really know how do make an income in game. I keep reading everywhere to do silverwastes chest farm, or new maps, but how can this give me money? The only income I can see are crafting materials to sell, but I also need an infinite amount of those materials because I’m doing a legendary, and after that for ascended equipment, and I don’t see the point of selling mats that I’ll need to buy again afterwards.
TL;DR: Is there a way to make money instead of selling mats that I need to craft?
Well how some of us veterans do it is we farm and salvage blues and greens, deposit mats and continue. Sell off rares and exotics or salvage rares for ecto but continue this until your materials storage is full then sell off those mats that don’t fit. You really have to experience a SW chest farm run for yourself to comprehend the amount of loot.
If you have a quartz node at your home instance, you can fast travel to Dry Top at around X:50 and also gather all the quartz there (including the rich one if the map is t4 or higher, which usually is).
This allows you to create a Charged Quartz about every day, which you can use to craft and sell a ley line infused tool. It’s just like 4 gold of profit, but better than nothing.
If you need to hoard most of the materials you get, making gold is going be to somewhat complicated unless you’re lucky or rely on playing the TP.
If the legendary you’re crafting is one of the new ones and you’re playing regularly on the new maps, you could also try to favor the map which has baubles included in the map reward.
If you have several characters and masteries leveled up, you can also visit both flax farms and make a decent money. The farm in tangled depths also includes a couple of chests which may reward you with a reclaimed yellow weapon or some expensive materials (like freshwater pearls or black diamonds) if you’re lucky.
I already did some chest farm, but I still cannot get how I’m supposed to make gold if I need mats to craft.
You can’t.
The game is currently in a gold deflation. There are no huge direct gold rewards as dungeons used to be, yet materials are still spiking since a lot of players have huge gold reserves.
You can basically make use of this and make good gold by selling materials into an overvalued market, or spend gold on using those materials.
That being said, fractal dailies provide a nice income as well. Or farm fractal level 40, works too.
