Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone.
Returning player from a year. Alot has changed and i would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me how one can get (even by grinding) gold at an efficient rate. When i last played it was Citadel of flame but i hear it has been changed.
Would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out things are so expensive now…

Right not sell your copper ore and iron ore since its at a ridiculous price because of the back piece. Iron ore is going for over 2s right now. So farming that is a good option.

If you are lvl 80 running the champion trains is a good way. If you manage to get a good drop it will sell for 2g. Can make 10g easy enough in an hour or so.

TP flipping …
Always has and always will be most efficient and lucrative way to make gold in this game.

If playing a market trading simulator is not your thing, and you like the great frosty outdoors, head to Frostgorge Sound and join the champ train. Making 10g / hr is a stretch doing this, but 5g / hr is pretty easy to do.

Otherwise, run lots of dungeons. Best check the wiki for dungeon changes first though.

Dungeons, don’t do champ trains.

Dungeons work well too but champ training still nets good gold. My advice do daily easy path dungeons and then champ train if you want to farm gold.

And after 2 days you are completely burned out and don’t want to play the game anymore.

For the next few days, I would just run around in circles doing events in LA….this series of events should provide everyone with a boat load of cash.

And this is wrong aswell because you are not supposed to form a huge zerg and provoke huge spawns, you should spread out and rescue as many citizens as possible

Yeah, I am not talking about what “you are supposed to do”, I am trying to provide the OP with a fast way to raise gold. Thanks for making sure I know the rules though.

At the moment .. go farm Iron

Get on a ranged level 80 character, empty your bag slots, go to Lion’s Arch and sell everything you get. Not the -best- money making out there, but the bag-per-minute of this event is really high, even when you are playing it correctly.

World vs world is a good way, along with dungeons & selling any exotics you gain.

Why ranged? I was melee on a glass character only exotics and had not trouble at all. All boons and healing from the zerglings makes it nearly impossible to die.

When roaming rescuing citizens the vets and elites are solo-able, still not seeing the problem.

LA is pretty decent return on time, still not as good as doing the 6 or so fastest dungeon runs, but once you get those done its better than going for the next 6 fastest runs.

Edit: Rewards seem to have changed since yesterday ^^
What is it that I’m missing about the Escape from Lion Arch event gold-wise. I farmed a few events on Necro in a zerg with 245% MF and I get;
- ~2 rares
- ~200 Alliance Bags
- ~1-3 Group Effort bags
- ~60 White/Blue/Green

I go on Thief for a mixture of Heirlooms and Citizen saving;
- 40 Heirlooms
- ~60-120 Alliance Bags
- ~2-3 Group Effort bags
- ~20-40 White/Blue/Green

My lowbies following a zerg get similar rewards as my necro, though usually around 150 Alliance bags since I die more often or play safer and tag less, and no rares ofcourse. Along with a sweet 2 levels (without tome of knowledge.)

With the right dungeon paths I get similar amount of White/Blue/Greens and Rares and the guaranteed end-reward of 1-3g in a shorter amount of time and tokens to salvage for Gossemar Insignia’s and such. I heard champ-train is just as profitable as dungeons more or less. I won’t argue the XP you get in LA is amazing, but just gold? Someone reveal the secret to that please.

As for the OP, the usual answers will include;
- TP-flipping
- Worldboss Farm (get a timer such as gw2stuff . com)
- Dungeons (easy paths, AC/TA/SE/CoF tend to be the most active in groupfinder)
- Champtrain in Frostgorge (ask for order/current location in map)
