How to make gold as a low level?
You probably don’t have enough money to play the market since you cant afford mats. So here is some things I do for my alts. Salvage white cloth and iron gear. Either save or sell on the trading post. Sell greens but check the TP to see if you should sell it there or vendor. I don;t suggest leveling your crafting until 30+ though. That way you have some money to spare and you will most likely have more mats. Hopefully that was some what helpful.
Buy Basic Salvage Kits (only Basic), and appropriate gathering tools.
Salvage all Basic (White) quality equipment
Sell all Salvage Item Trophies on the Trading Post
Sell all Fine and Masterwork (Blue and Green, respectively) quality items to NPC vendors
Sell all Fine and Masterwork (Blue and Green, respectively) quality items to NPC vendors
For Masterwork items, check the price of the rune/sigil on the TP first before selling them. Some upgrades sell for a lot of money and it’s worthwhile using a higher level kit to try and get the upgrade out first.
Make one main, and four alts. Make the alts two charr and two Asura. Get them up to about level four. Take each one, ad run around looking for Herb Seedlings. Park each alt at an herb seedling node. Every couple of hours (however long it takes to respawn nodes) log in to each alt, harvest, and deposit collectibles. You will have so many Chili Peppers and Vanilla Beans, it’s not even funny. They sell for between 2 and 4 silver apiece. If you’re not playing, just log in to each for five seconds, then exit, just make sure to collect as often as possible.
Remember, when the server resets (game updates, etc) the nodes reset, and you will have to find new Herb Seedlings.
