How I Make Gold in GW2.. While Having Fun!

Ойындар

I love crafting legendaries in Guild Wars 2.. but I don't like repetitive gold grinds. Today, I talk about how I make lots of gold in Guild Wars 2, without burning myself out. How I make gold, while having fun!

    One of the biggest gold-making skills in GW2 is the ability to emotionally disconnect from your material storage. SO MANY players think "maybe I'll need that one day!" and delay their current concrete goal for some imaginary hypothetical scenario far into the future.

    tbh, I did the opposite in the beginning. I sold all my T6 and T5 mats to finance a server switch. After the switch I decided to start dungeoneering and needed a berserker staff for my ele. I had no gold left and not enough dungeon tokens to buy berserk gear. So I bought 4 staves from ascalonian catacombs tokens and threw them into the MF in hopes to get a berserker weapon or at least something to sell. I got The Legend. Collecting the materials to finally craft the Bifrost was painful, I can tell ya. Since then, I've been hoarding everything. And tbh: it's nice if you want/have to do a collection and have all the mats in your bank :)

    I'm not entirely certain I agree. I think the more nuanced approach would be: If you need gold RIGHT NOW for a very concrete project, go ahead and sell stuff you don't need RIGHT NOW from your material storage. But if you're just selling something to have that gold sit in your wallet doing nothing, you're potentially just wasting 15% of your value, by needing to buy it back later from the TP. For example my current material storage has roughly 1k gold worth of stuff sitting in it. I don't need it right now and could liquidate it, but why would I? I don't have a use for the gold either. I will in a few weeks or months, but not right now, and I never know when or what materials I'll need.

    One hidden point of profit fractals gives you is stabilizing matrices. They are currently 27 silver each and they stack up quite fast if you do fractals daily. I sold a bit over two stacks of them for 150 gold or so. Just make sure you do not need them for anything as they are used for certain things.

    Coming from years of WoW this was a shocker. My characters in wow each had a few thousand gold and Gw2 my entire account has under 100. So I understand why new players feel like they are behind. But gold means more here but that also means it takes a bit more time to get. I find it much more interesting when I get those lucky drops. Pushing me ever closer to that shiny new legendary!

    My favorite "brain afk" grind is actually the Bauble farm runs in Auric Basin. Every time the [Shiny Bauble] is the map bonus reward (every 3 or 4 weeks or so?), there are many squads running this. Basically you just run around AB, doing events as they pop up, using wallows, mounts and waypoints to fast-travel around just in time for the next event to start. The runs are so optimized that you basically have zero downtime there (and it can happen that when you get into combat at the wrong time, you miss an event completely), but the routes the squads run are very static and after 2 or 3 loops you know them. This can get you somewhere around 50 [Shiny Baubles] between every two metas, which sell for 25G. Of course there's also tons of other loot, and you get to do the Meta in a very organized squad as well, which gives you more loot. After that, just leave, or run with the commander for another hour of [Shiny Bauble] farming 😀

    I agree with the "Do content you actually enjoy" thing, it's is a great way to summarize gold farming in GW2 Thing with this game is that almost all endgame PvE content earns you gold via materials, just doing a few meta events a day, maybe the daily fractals and strikes, and daily achievements can earn you easily over 10 or 15 gold without thinking about and possibly double that depending on the metas. I know that doesn't sound like much, but it's without even thinking about gold farming, it's a background thing, think when you farming verdant brink for exotic gear and you earn unidentified gear.

    absolutely agree. Pick a goal to go for but don't grind at getting it. Try lots of different achievements and content and the gold will come passively. You're probably richer then you recon! GW2 has a lot of do this event once daily for maximum roll its nice as long as you dont turn it into a rut. Yes it may be efficicent to do this but give yourself a day off or change tasks every so often

    Dungeon runs were great with a competent group just rushing through. We used to call them "dungeon tours". We'd have several daily groups rushing through every dungeon, all paths. After the final nerf to dungeon path rewards, people just aren't doing it anymore, for many years now. Pugging it won't yield anything close to being decent gold/hour.

The thing is that you can do the story bits and they also count and those are very simple. But for parts from dungeons they vary in difficulty. Some have their own little gimmicks. From my experience Caudecus Manor and Inquest ones are the simplest to do(so if you'd do the story and all 3 parts of those you get 8). The achievement does reset and in you can repeat it but for other different dungeons.

    CMs fractals are worth a ton of gold once you got the title since you can trade integrated fractal matrix for 10 keys (so 3 CMs are 30 box + 30 keys). You can also do it if you don't care saving them for title. You can also trade them for +5 stats infusions.

    Small little tip in case you do fractals: Infuse rings before salvage. Fractals, especially higher tiers, tend to give Ascended Earrings and Rings. These can come pre-attuned and/or pre-infused. In case they are not infused, infuse them before the salvage. It costs a little over 26 silver, but the lowest return is 1 Stab Matrix (which currently sits at a 26s buy order at the time of writing), which already returns the cost, and it has a chance to become 2, 5, 10 or even 20(!) Stab Matrices in return!

    I'd say the 2 most important ways to get gold is to put some of the moneymakers in your routine and to not focus on making gold, but to let it naturally accumulate. I personally make sure to login daily for the login reward (2.5g/day). I've also got 10 alts parked at some reward chests (5g/5min). I join a random full home for some gathering (3g/5min).I make sure to do a daily bjora marches chest run (3g/5min) IBS 5 (5g/20 min)DS (4.5g/10 min) and i make sure to do all cantha strikes atleast 1 time per week (18g/30 min). I use my ley line converter and gleam of sentience for some daily HoT keys and loot (1g/day). I also make sure to collect the weekly antique summoning stones (25g/week) and do the daily skillpoint in arborstone. It basically averages out to 30g/day for 50 minutes of playtime. Doing any other activity (CM's, raids, meta events, dungeons, fractals) is just the cherry on top. By the way, its also worth mentioning that crafting legendary weapons is a great moneymaker. Aslong as you have plenty karma/skillpoints/dungeon tokens all you need to get is a gift of battle and gift of exploration. Especially for WvW players this is a good moneymaker since they'll naturally accumulate their gifts of battle over time. Every map completion awards 2 gifts of exploration which can be used to make legendary weapons for roughly 600-700g profit per finished legendary.

    I didn't make any legendaries for the first six years I played. Consequently, I've been able to make several since, because I had a lot of mats already in storage. The drawback is that by the time I started doing this, I already had 70 level 80 toons fully dressed in ascended - so all that ascended gear is now junk. If I had it to do over, I would have started much sooner.

    Another thing you forgot to mention: If you have End of Dragons and really need some extra gold, max out the Arborstone Revitalization mastery line. The last tier "Globalization" adds a legendary component vendor to Arborstone which sells you up to 5 Antique Summoning Stones per week for various currencies, which sell for roughly 5 gold each on the trading post. Some of these exchanges, like buying one for 1G or 7000 karma are absolute no-brainers and the others are still worth it if you just need liquid gold quickly. If you're not planning to make any EoD legendaries any time soon and run at least one EoD strike mission weekly, that is basically 25 free extra gold per week.

    My way of earning gold is absolute crap but it's funny so I thought I'd share. I dismantle everything that ends up in my inventory, and when deposit all materials no longer works I go to LA and withdraw the stack of 250 from my material storage and sell in bulk. I do this for EVERY material.

    Great video! I totally agree with your, I also just play what I enjoy every week and my Gold passively increases without me checking it every few minutes or thinking about what I should do next to earn more. Once you find your routine of doing things consistently every week you will soon start to realise how low effort it takes to increase your Gold.

    I do low-tier fractals sometimes but instanced content makes me feel really anxious. I'm always afraid that I'm going to upset the other players by being a scrub. I might try those "easy three" strike missions, though. Thanks for the tips.

    What is upseting is the ton of players doing 5k dps in meta event and getting carried by a few because they never tried to learn how to play properly, and you can learn only in instanced content since you can't say "hey there are 50+ players on the map, doesn't matter if I suck".

    In this game you get rich buying alt accounts, even if you do nothing and only log in, the daily reward is about 50 gold per month both with mystic coins and laurels converted in tier 6 mats; use GW2 launch butty and it's quite easy and time saving to log in. People like Mightyteapot have over 50 alt accounts and make money mostly like this

    Interesting video and absolutely nothing in it sounds interesting to me except doing Dragonstorm lol But that's a strength of GW2, there are many different options to reach the same goal. I'm more casual and don't have nearly the amount of time you do to run fractals and such everyday but I still make sufficient gold through alt-parking, daily gathering of home instance nodes and crafting/TP selling. Also you can watch Netflix while fishing? I find GW2's fishing mechanic too distracting to do anything else, it needs constant attention to get any fish - does fishing become more automatic when you get all the masteries? This is one case where I very much prefer WoW's system, the fishing in WoW was more relaxing and felt much more like fishing rather than constantly doing that minigame.

    I recently got back to playing GW2 again after a long break. I decided to grind for Skyscale and in order to get enough map currencies, i decided to finish "Return to Living World" achievements. In doing so, i joined lots of map events and i can't describe how fun was that! It's also a good gold source. Got a lot of materials. I was so intimidated by the grind but this is literally the first MMO i actually enjoyed the grind. Now i'm about to be finished with map currencies. Just waiting for my little baby to grow up in 2 days.

    So true making gold is about what you find fun. For me it's just doing dailies on 5 accounts and full home instance and the parked toons your not using. Takes me about 2 hours, but gives me the freedom to do them in 10mins chunks of time if I choose. Where doing metas, fractals just too time consuming and boring with repetitive hack and slash. As for the volatile spending I make 0 money doing that. I either break even or lose up to 25s, same with unstable magic. Specially the unstable magic, I make more money selling the pearls, rubies, wood etc, to the vendor then I do consuming them to buy trophies lol

    I still like dungeons... and T4 fractals, but I am glad I dropped Raids and CMs. Also playing time dropped a bit... I played gw2 or was logged in for 8k hours the first few years. But I've been between 14k and 15k hours for the past 3 years, kids and a life prevent some things. I have not done 1 EoD meta yet, I have not even finished the story... Honestly I returned to vanilla and started playing with my daughter, she was 2 at launch, and 12 now, my previous pc got a GPU upgrade and I got myself an upgrade (3rd PC I played gw2 on). We did AC story for funsies. I own 35 or so ascended armors and a leggy armor, 2 bolts,kudzu,pharus, nevermore, bifrost,howler,rodgort, shooshadoo,meterologicus,2 legendary backs and honestly in the end the main thing is having fun. gold, ascended or leggy is trivial. having 3 leggy armor, trinkets, runes, and sigils leave you at a point where you completely defeated all content or boundries. Leaving you with fun in the end. I found myself clinging to binding of ipos, but It is my final goal, next to helping my daughter get a skyscale. 10 years... I also played gw1 :) I have 6 characters over 10 yr old now...

    Not exactly related but i just have to say this. I feel like I'm the only person who thinks Twisted Marionette is boring. I've seen people complain about it being too hard and I've seen others say it's a great fight. The way I see it, the only intersting part is when you are on a platform and fight a miniboss. But most of the Twisted Marionette is just waiting for your turn while fighting waves of normal enemies. I think it would be way more fun if you perhaps just have a smaller group but everyone gets to be on the platforms for all of the stages. I don't mind if people don't agree with me. I just felt like I needed to vent about it. x)
