Other than Frostgorge Champion trains, trading in auction house and selling gems for IRL money, what is the most efficient way to farm gold?

Lately, I’ve been making mad money farming Aetherblades near the entrance. Around 2-3 gold per hour. More if a rare or unique drops. Remember to sell badges to the vendors. At the time, I was making good turnaround money on the spore samples, but I think others clued in as well.

Depending on your level, people farm the train in Queensdale too . . . if all goes smoothly.

Micro-chests in the various zone can also help make gold. Some of the easier jumping puzzles as well. Finally zone bosses, like Shadow Behemoth, can net some gold if you’re lucky to land a rare or unique.

Gone to Reddit.

To answer your question, nope not really. It’s pretty much the best.

I solo Arah all of the time. However, I never cheat in them. All bosses are killed, I don’t jump over or under the map, and I sometimes even kill optional champs + always kill Korga.

Arenanet has already mentioned that as long as you aren’t exploiting, they’re fine with path selling. All of the people telling you otherwise are likely either believing their friends that tell them they got banned for no reason or spreading rumors passed on by said people. Afterall think about it logically — considering the fact that hardly any bugs/exploits have been fixed since launch, does it make sense for Arenanet staff to be focusing their time seeking out people to ban? Of course not.

Selling dungeon paths is legal provided you do not cheat. If you do cheat and get caught, you’re going to be permanently banned no matter how many times you beg in email. Not worth it.

Okay, so can You or someone else now explain to me who’s best for Arah solo’ing? Do You have a guide for that per chance?
What exactly is path selling and how do people cheat in Arah solo’ing? You mean like scamming the path buyers?

It depends on the path, but I only do this on my one warrior. If you’d like, I made a very thorough guide for a DPS build (the one that I use) along with a plethora of helpful information in regards to utility/weapon/consumables use. If you have any questions in regards to what’s on there, please feel free to post them as a reply there because I’ll definitely see them.

Here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/Guide-for-DPS-build-dungeon-solos-more/first#post3737843

What I meant about people cheating, I mean that there are illegitimate runners that do things such as leaping onto/over walls/miscellaneous structures in order to skip boss fights, safespot bosses, things of that nature. I don’t want to specifically name any of them, because they’re against the rules.

If you’d like, I have raw footage that I highlighted of myself soloing both Arah P1 and P3. I’ve done P2 solos many times too, but I haven’t had a run that went well enough to my liking to save yet. Any of the runs that I’ve solod Alphard without dying, I wiped at the end boss or at Lupi or something embarrassing.

Arah P1 solo: http://www.twitch.tv/purpleishawt/c/3840580
Arah P3 solo: http://www.twitch.tv/purpleishawt/c/3709357

Keep in mind that in P1, there’s one boss that’s not possible to solo. It’s accepted amongst the community of dungeon runners that it’s omitted when referring to a P1 solo, and what I and everyone else does is post on the LFG for “tar help.” I pay them 1g each after it’s killed. In the end, I make ~28g each time I solo path 1.

Whenever I solo path 2 or path 3 (if I have the time and am in the mood for it) I generally always give it out for free to anyone who’s watching the stream at the time (EU players only, as I’m on Desolation).

Hopefully you’ll be able to learn how and what I’m doing in those videos. If you have any questions, post them for me on my thread that I linked above. Good luck!
