Guild Wars 2

I know this is mostly based off of luck, in other people’s past experience, what has been the meta’s people have gotten the most gold out of? I would personally think Dragon Stand or Auric Basin but idk.

Seeing as how the maps have meta events which last for very different amounts of time, were you asking which one provides the best riches in general at the end? Or on a gold per unit of time rate?

For other maps, you can also take a look at the rewards from map events page . Factoring in the additional rewards from the mobs, why aren’t you in Cursed Shores right now?

I was wondering about maguuma because I had all the mastery in Tyria finished and by doing more maguuma I could hit several birds with one stone in the since I could get the masteries in maguuma, my Bo for my thief, possibly an ascended chest from ley line gear collection, the berzerker’s lightward battle staff skin, ley-guard pistol skin, and bladed jerkin for the skin as well. All this while getting gold from the not needed gear or straight out gold in general so I can start finishing the rest of my ascended gear on my thief.

How much gold per hour do people make from map rewards?

I think SW chest farm used to give like 15G/hr but I’m not sure how it’s doing nowadays. Not too big of a deal as I found a better way to efficiently spend my time to get gold.

Edit: Specified as chest farm in case there was confusion that I was referring to just the meta events.

Meta events will give you nowhere near 15g/hour. I think what makes them more worthwhile is the HoT exp and chieves which are not an endless source of entertainment, but hard to obtain from other aspects of this game.

That is… Unless you are rnjesus and get a solid drop or even a precursor… But from personal experience I’ll make around 5-10g from DS and maybe 3-6g from AB. These numbers are made up approximations from personal experiences… But my two cents.

5-10g in DS?! What have I been doing wrong? I consistently only rack in around 3-4g per DS run. Considering a good DS run is about 1-1.5 hours. A DS run for me is around the same as I would get when I used to run dungeons back before their rewards was nerfed. DS is just one long, tedious run, and I get bored of so fast.

I spend most my time in AB. I just do adventures til tarir pops up. I make a little less than in DS but it’s more enjoyable for me.

Well, you get about 10+ rares from DS equating in probably about 15 ectos which can be sold for 4.5 gold there… I usually yield quite a bit more I’m just going for the minimal attempt here.

You yield about 30 champ bags/loot bags/whatever bags which bring even more loot and mats. I mean, what I said was really an understatement. Perhaps you are making more than you realize, or not selling mats at their maximum potential. Are you opening pods afterwards? Are you participating in all the events? Do you loot everything/advanced logistics? Sorry, but if you’re making 3-4g per DS run you are most certainly doing something wrong :P

Is the OP doing this as or for a job? Games are supposed to be fun, not work.
