Guild Wars 2

sup homies.
i haven’t been playing for a few months because i played pvp and pvp sucked but now i wanna get back into the pve part of the game since pvp still sucks. i ran out of decent singleplayer rpgs and mods for fo4.
since everything about pve is the acquisition of wealth i wanna do just that. hoard piles of gold and then buy all the shinies i can dangle in front of poor players faces.
since i have barely any gold to start trading (only way to actually make cash) i was wondering what the go to method nowadays is to gather gold most efficiently.
i wanna pile up like 300-400 gold before i start trading since flipping too cheap items is annoying and doesn’t get a good return.
is it still chest farming in the desert area with the three lane event or is there something better now?

Um, welcome back?

Try AB.

what’s AB?
sorry, i’m not familiar with recent gw2-speech any more

edit: seems that AB is Auric Basin. i looked up the lfg tool today, what is multiloot?

Probably referring to changing maps to loot chests multiple times. There’s a large thread about it in the HoT sub-forum.

thanks

edit: holy moly, the gem price is really good right now! 20 bucks for 600 gold that’s the way to go i think.

I wouldn’t give up on flipping. Since I’ve been using the Gw2 trade post calculator on the google app store i have found it easier to find items that I can make profits with using the flipping method, and I encourage anyone interested to use it if you find playing the TP to be difficult. its basicly a calculator that already imputes the sales and listing taxes so you will always know what you can make a profit off of.

as far as non TP ways to make fast cash, the pirate bases on Lonars pass map drop bags of loot pretty often that sell for 7 silver each. there are also the separatist camps in the Ascalon areas, and the Dredge in shiverpeaks. they all drop bags of crafting materials that can sell for 6-8 silver each. of course this may depend on your magic find stat.

there are also ways to trade Karma points for items at karma merchants, that sell for alot on the TP, there are guides all over the web covering this, as well as doing it with laurels if you have any just lying around.

oh, i’m not giving up on flipping by any means. that’s the #1 way to make cash. i just want to have some capital so i can skip trading the low value junk.
