I recently found a way of making some nice gold if you have a free character-slot or a level 22-32 character.
If you open puzzle chests on a level 22-32 character you can get a silver doubloon, they are needed for a the legendary juggernaut and currently pay 2gold. The average droprate when opening jumping puzzle chests is 25%.
So enjoy
Arise, ye farmers of all nations
Arise, opressed of Tyria!
And so the farming begins, and within a few days silver doubloons will be worth a few silvers at most..
It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.
…… The average droprate when opening jumping puzzle chests is 25%…..

That’s an exaggeration…..more like less than 10%
These have been being farmed for a few months now.
I’ve been only doing this for a week now with two characters (one of them purely for this purpose) in LA and I would agree more with the 10% so far.
However reading tips in the past (none of this is new) people said that there are two tables – one for the level of the puzzle and one for the level of the character – so maybe being at the “right” jumping puzzle yields a higher result.
“Whose Kitten is this?” – “It’s a Charr baby.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
I’m pretty sure the rewards are level based, not on which puzzle. So, a puzzle on LA should do as well as any other.
My level 80 gets empyreal fragment, occasionally rares and the very occasional exotics from the same one my level 21 gets level 21 gear and low level gem stones.
I guess I need to level mine one more level. Mine is level 21 and hasn’t gotten a silver doubloon yet, in about 2 months.
Thanks for the tip, I’ve been wondering. The other posts I’ve read said level 21 was good enough.
Level 20 is where the table starts allowing SDs. I’ve been doing this for at least a month (starting at LVL 20) at the LA puzzles (just turned 22 due to gathering by the dead troll). I’ve been getting SDs since I started at 20 so it’s certainly good enough. Keep in mind I’ve had runs of getting an SD once per 3 puzzles and even 2 SDs on a few days to getting NONE in a week long period. RNG is RNG.
Note that tossing Pebbles or Marks in the Mystic Flusher can also generate SDs (tho, it’s a pretty low probability).
We go out in the world and take our chances
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances
