Guild Wars 2

Is it still frostgorge?

frostgorge is dead on many servers try to guest on bg or jq after the last nerf many ppl stop farming i seen many lvl 80 ppl in queensdale now.

Dungeons probably. You get 1g (Plus whatever loot drops) per path per day. Other than that, ya, probably the champ trains or temple runs, if your server does them.

Those in Queens are typically farming karma though since most of those champs are event driven.

FGS champ train is strong on TC for sure (I guest there now). On my server it is gone completely. I think other much larger servers still have it.

I find the absolute best way to get gold and/or mats is through the world boss train at reset. In 2 hours I’m probably making about 15g, if I sell everything. If you’re looking for ectos, this is great. I generally get 25 ectos per night.

However, to be fair, I don’t do dungeons in general. I’m sure those are also good for gold. Not to mention good TP investments. I know a lot of people make money from that as well, but it requires some good knowledge and intuition and fairly heft start up capital.

And a lot of time. Time that I would rather spend playing.

Depends how much you track it. If you make spreadsheets and track trends, cross reference with gw2spidy, etc, sure it’ll take a long time, but if you stick to low risk markets, and really not pay much attention it doesn’t take nearly as much time. Perhaps 30-45 minutes every day or two. You don’t make as much as quickly, but you can still make decent profits. A lot less commitment than running dungeons and I can make over 20g on a weekend, which is low for TP, but good given the low time commitment and it frees me up to play the game.

Same here I always guest to TC for FGS. There are always a lot of people there. Even at the odd hours.

That’s already a lot of time for somebody with a full time job.

True, I guess, I usually try to do it in the morning right quick before going to work. Leaves the evenings more free for play, dailies, etc.

frostgorge is 2 gold per hour. kitten place to farm.

Some people have better luck that others…for some it’s almost like being stuck in permanent diminished returns. At a time last winter when farming is Cursed Shore was in full swing and an average player could make 5-12 gold very quickly, for some, if you were affected by this problem you were lucky to make 1 gold for the same effort and it always consistent over time. Sounds like a conspiracy theory, but there was a huge thread studying the issue some time ago which identified some patterns in the phenomenon. Everything pointed to a serious bug in the RNG. Of course ANet never conceded there were any issues. I don’t even think they acknowledged the thread and believe they eventually merged the thread with something else in hopes it would die.

You either have bad luck or doing it wrong. Frostgorge champ farm (with lotsa people) grants an average 7 gold / hour. My daily goal is 20 gold, most of the time I can make it in 2 hours or less (depends on drops). (I have 98% magic find atm, I don’t use food).

If overstatement was a person you just became a murderer

Ya, I feel that. When I go to FGS I do ok (avg 7g per hour). When I go to Cursed Shore… yikes. I’d be lucky to walk away with 1g in an hour. Mostly all I get is frustration and a CR*PLOAD of cr*p. I hate going to Cursed Shore. I mean.. I really, really, really hate it. I don’t go there now unless I’m in the world boss train.
