Guild Wars 2

What is a dependable way for a level 80 to make gold? Not looking for a get rich scheme, just something I can mindlessly plow through with music on. I need a totally new set of armor and weapons and I’m very broke. I have tried all the following methods of getting gold and found then ineffective for the explained reasons.

1. Buying greens and mystic forging them to yellows for salvage: Odds of getting a yellow is not high enough to cover the costs.

2. Buying major runes and mystic forging them to superiors: Actually works well, but most of the runes are soulbound dungeon ones which cannot be sold.

3. Running high level 80 events with magic find gear: Can’t dependably locate them when they’re going on. Also Grenth and Balthazar are both bugged right now on my server. Dragon events always give me blues, even with over 60% magic find.

4. Crafting things with my 400 jewelcrafting: Impossible to do anything but break even… if you’re lucky.

5. Running dungeons: Work well, but I don’t feel the payout is worth the time you spend. Also you can’t farm them quickly now.

6. Hunting for resource nodes: All have cooldowns.

7. Word completion: Already completed all the 60+ zones.

1. Play the game
2. Get loot.
3a. Sell everything to vendors that’s not Rare or Exotic
3b. Sell RNG loot bags on BLTP
3c. Salvage things marked as “Salvage Items.”

IF [item type] = Rare or Exotic
IF [BLTP Sell Value] > [1 Glob of Ectoplasm BLTP Sell Value], sell on BLTP
ELSE Salvage.

I craft. There are items out there that even buying off the market turn a decent profit. Currently i make around 2-4 gold from my crafting depending on how many items i make and sell. Normally 20-40 items. Another way i hear people makeing money is to grind out a set of magic find gear to boost decent money drops.
