One thing I JUST realized I did not point out, is the profit calculation at the end is already taking out the cost of 600 gold for all the nodes SO any subsequent years you're profiting 600 more gold than those min/max

where the true profit is at is getting 4 friends to funnel resources to you or you to one of the others to get all these nodes and just log in at the same time to harvest together, all the nodes listed in this video can be harvested once per day by an unlimited amounts of accounts.

Very very true, split the cost & share the profit and you'll be big ballin' in no time.

Of all profitable things, I think the Living World 3-4 resource nodes are the best. I have all of them, and by harvesting them all first thing every time I log in, I always have access to any ascended trinket, backpack and obsidian shards. But ultimately I think I've spent more gold on my home instance than I've made, but in turn I don't have to wait for a lot of time gated items.

I'm hoping we get a bit more info soon, personally! We've gotten quite a bit of info about how each class will play with spear, so I'd really hope we get some more info about these!

I filled out my personal home instance a couple years ago with almost all of the available nodes except any pertaining to the Super Adventure Box, as I don't play any of that (just personal taste, no other reason). I found that between expansion and Living World releases, if I wasn't working on crafting another Legendary weapon, I would still try to login to GW2 every day almost, just to farm my home instance and loot the chests at the end of jumping puzzles and a couple other good alt parking spots, and even though I would keep any materials that could be used for Legendary, or Ascended crafting, and sell most of the rest, I could make about 2 gold per day. This was NOT good gold per hour of play time, as it would take me about 1 hour to farm my home instance and the guild hall nodes, then cycle through all of my 26 other alt characters. I'm sure I could have made much more gold by some other methods that actually involved playing the game, so I don't recommend what I just described to anyone wanting to make lots of gold. It is just what I would do almost every day, while watching TV, as I could do it on my laptop with almost zero effort, and it helped me a lot, to make a little gold, plus gather materials for crafting Legendary weapons. I've now crafted at least one Legendary weapon of every type, plus 3 duplicates, for weapons that can be dual wielded. I played a little more when EoD & SotO were released, and I'm planning on playing much more when Janthir Wilds is released, as I think the maps will appeal to me more than the SotO maps did. I hope that all of my farming nodes will get transferred to the new Homestead, like everyone is assuming, but I haven't seen any confirmation of this from Arenanet yet.

That is, indeed, what it sounds like. Much like Dungeons, home instances in capital cities seem to have been left back in 2012 lol

So … is your personal house going to act as one more home instance? Or a separate item. So you can purchase a second set of nodes? … otherwise to the players who already has the nodes in their home instance, you are simply offering a different location in which to harvest what you already have. ( I am hoping the new home offers the ability to find furniture recipes in the world a la ESO, craft them and place them to your satisfaction. That will be a satisfying point of difference.)

Either I have not understood your info or I am worried by your methods of calculating values- what value did you put on the laurels needed for buying Quartz crystal nodes and Krait node? You state trophy shipments give 2.5 gold ish average but have you included the loss of 1 gold to buy. The Krait node does nothing that other Hero Points don't do free of charge. I am not convinced that your living season 3/4 nodes have had the gold value of using the unbound/volatile magic required to buy included. I found the payback cost/time of 3 volatile gypths unclear (or missing?). Like I say either I am slow on the uptake (quite possible|) or you are misleading folks.

@syzxgamingx

Hello friend! I think we just communicate and look at things differently. differently, and I'm just a human, as are you, so I definitely am not immune to making oversights in math or communication. let me try to clear some things up, definitely don't want you to feel like I've misled you or anyone else cause that's certainly not what I spent 15+ hours trying to do with this video! To start with a clear one, I definitely could have explained clearer, but we can see at 10:20 in the video we're earning 82,125-129,575 in 365 days. Trophy shipments are 250, so thats 328 to 518 Trophy shipments in a year. If we multiply that by 1.5870 (1G, 58S, 70C) or 1.8293 (1G, 82S, 93C) , we get 520.536 to 947.5774 (I did some rounding up in my final math). To your point, your comment from two hours ago why the range is different despite the prices not being correct -That's because my final range I show ALSO accounts for the volatile magic variation, not only the price variation. Because there's 2 variables working together. So the lowest value, the 520.536 is minimum volatile magic and minimum average drop, and the highest value is the maximum volatile magic and maximum drop, because that's the full range of variability. I hope that clears that up. As far as the Krait Obelisk node, you are correct. The krait node does nothing that other hero points don't do. at 1:33 I say that it does nothing on its own, other than creating a hero point in your home instance. To me I felt that was clear enough that it's just a convenience thing, though I do see how I could have been clearer on it. I put zero value on the laurels needed for buying Quartz Crystal/Krait node, because they're available entirely free with some effort since Festival of the Four Winds. And even if you did buy them, I don't look at laurels as gold, they're a byproduct of playing that can be turned into gold or other items, so I wouldn't gold cost them out. The reason for magic not being costed out is that I've always looked at currencies aside from gold as opportunity cost, not the gold value of that currency, so it never crossed my mind to really even factor them in. While gold you typically have to do some sort of selling or converting to make a reasonable amount, you just get things like Laurels or Magic for playing the game. To put it in a more direct example - To me the griffon mount costs 250 gold, because I spend 250 gold to get the things to unlock it. To me the skyscale has unavoidable costs of (on a quick google search here, it's been a while) 41 Gold mandatory. But it also costs 250 of each LWS4 currency. I've never even looked at the skyscale as costing the gold value of all those currencies plus the gold. it's just not how I see the game. I can understand that you may see it that way, and I can definitely see I could have been a bit clearer in saying "I am not calculating that cost here". I did not give a final range of how long to pay back volatile tools as I looked at it and realized there are too many variables for me to give any meaningful cost to repayment. You'd have to look at gem cost, gold cost, whether the tools were on sale, what the sale prices of the tools could be, how many nodes are harvested per day, etc. I simply gave the sample of how much you'd average in a year of only home instance node farming, and the total price of the glyphs if purchased from the TP. That being said, I do in my final walkthrough of all the profits, lay out exactly what ranges of Unbound/Volatile magic, specifically say what gold values I am using in calculating during each step. Then at 13:17 I specifically give the Gross gold earned from unbound and volatile, and state that they cost 600 Gold, which reinforces that I costed out 50G per unbound, 50G per volatile, and 50 for the eternal ice. I laid out every calculation in text and verbally so even if we disagree on whether I should have used the opportunity cost of magic you need to farm, I definitely don't think anything about my video would be misleading. If I hadn't shown exactly how I did all the math, I would agree its misleading. But not only did I give a 15 minute long video with visual examples of what it all costs, I showed how much it returns you 1 day and a 365 day period, so any of it can be reverse engineered by anybody. Like I said, I think we just look at the same information differently. There's a lotta people on this planet and we don't all think the same. I thought I did an effective job in communicating all the information clearly, but based on your two comments, I could have done a better job and will keep that in mind for my future videos. Thanks for your time.

​@@syzxgamingx Thanks for taking the time for explaining. While not counting the cost of laurels/magic is one valid way of looking at it (they're a byproduct of playing- is that not true of gold too, so should we discount that? ;)), it is what is known as a opportunity cost. Each living world 4 node costs 50g which you consider, however the 10k magic which is not in your calculations could buy instead 40 trophy shipments, if we multiply that by per profit of 1.5870 (1G, 58S, 70C) or 1.8293 (1G, 82S, 93C) the cost of the magic is 63.5G to 73.2G which is noticeably more than the straight 50G of the 50G 10k magic you consider in your calculations. Similarly laurels are worth on average at present (Light Crafting Bag) 93 s 60 c. So for the 25 laurels required for quartz node that is 23.4G extra cost above the 15G you consider. Fast farming website also has the ROI data at fast.farming-community.eu/gathering/home-nodes . Thanks for the video though, it is very good at showing how good home nodes can be.

Leech somebody else's home. No gold needed easy

If the trophy return is on average 2G 58S to 2G 82S then why is the average return over a set number of days 521G 32s to 948G 12S - why has the ratio of max to min average changed. Even if the 1G cost to buy the trophy is subtracted for 1G 58S to 1G 82S profit then the ratio over your set number of days still does not have the same max to min ratio. EDIT, extra info provided by Syzx (thanks) that ratio is effected on the time data by the extra variability of the volatile magic harvesting by glyph tools.

As far as charged quartz crystal, it's a specific to home instance node drop. Can find it here: wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quartz_Crystal_Formation I also never said it turns into 25 per day, or even that you get 8 per day. I lay out the exact daily range, mention the chances of both additional drops. I say at 1:00 how exactly you typically make a charged quartz crystal, and that the base value of all 25 crystals you need is 80 gold. at 1:40 I say you need 25 quartz crystals, and lay out the base value of 80 silver once again. Nothing to bust here. I actually heavily under-value the quartz crystal node in my calculations because I never actually added any of that into the profit generation, I just assumed a generation of 1 charged quartz crystal per day made by *purchasing* the quartz crystal needed. So my math in this video is actually intentionally under what it would be, so I didn't overestimate any numbers.

i'd suggest just play the game everyday for 6 months straight, take those mats and gold collected to then craft a legendary ( see which sells the most and are most expensive) then craft legendary and sell it.(of course leveling up crafting profs while you play everyday) and live off that profit for the next couple of years. being able to flip higher more expensive things allows you to make more money off 1 investment. I made Twilight in my first 6 months sold it and lived off that profit for the next decade! as well as making a 2nd twilight in the next 6 months and owning my first legendary. Plus its way easier to craft legendaries once you have the profit from another sale.

There are two recipies. The step by step one for the pearl handcannon is not rare, just need 400 huntsman, and then its either 25k karma or 8 silver. In my profit calculation at 2:13 on screen for that that the base materials cost 2G 96S 47C and add in the 1G 60S quartz crystal cost to make the two charged quarts crystals (80 silver, doubled) and show the sell price of the item that requires two quartz crystals. If you subtract those material prices from the sell price, you get the profit after all costs are considered. (Again assuming you paid for the quartz to make the charged quarts) and then you divide that profit in half, because it takes two crystals, and you get how much each crystal is worth. At 2:31 I clearly say "If you use buy order pricing for the raw materials, and sell listing price for the output, you can make something like the Commander's Pearl Trident for 10 and a half gold profit." so yes, that is also subtracting the cost of the materials. The recipe is not purchased. I never go into that because there are literally 0 on the trading post, only buy orders. If you did somehow buy one for the current buy order pricing it 1G 66S so it's not even much. It's not really about pretending they're free, it's about the fact that I never said to buy it, I said IF you have the recipe.
