What did YOU farm the most to get YOUR FoW armor.
Voltaic Annihilator
I did hours of smite runs
got 0-3 ectos per run at least this is recent

Ambuu
I'm UWing it with my W/Rt.
2 runs just now = 4 ectos, 3 golds, an abundance of whites along with some coins.

I've thot of myself as a farmer mostly, but in the past month i've gotten the patience and trader knowlege to do this, ive made bout 200k in the past 4-5 weeks. If u know prices on things, this is a really good tactic. Expecially with farming spots being nerfed every 3 seconds.

I farmed real life money, by working, bought a magazine, entered a contest, won a mini Vizu, sold it and bought my FoW ingredients :P
However I got my Chaos Gloves (no, not on the same char as the FoW) by farming Magmas Shields.

Farmed SF lots - suppose I got really lucky as I only farmed 4-5 hours a day and I got enough money within 4 days (ectos at 5k ea, ranger fow)

Reversal of damage now correctly triggers when the damage is dealt by an indirect source (ie retribution/holy wrath), this didn't really nerf the run, just means the smiter needs some kind of healing.

Didn't farm, power traded ^_^. But before I started to trade, I farmed teh Griffins to get my first set of 15k armor, which I did salvage a few months later. Hehe
The Bard
xunlai tournament house, bet on the games, won lotsa points, traded for z-keys, opened chest, got everlasting tonic on first day, sold it, bought fow simply because i didn't have any other use for all them ecto

Spider Pig
I currently have 105 shards, 13 ectos and 200k in storage...
All of the shards+the 200k I got from farming raptors in Birthday Event.
I can't find a way to get good money, since the only thing that worth a lot are rare minis, everlasting tonics, Crystallines, Eternal Blade, Obsidian Edge and Celestial Compass.
The chance of me getting one is really low.
I'm farming the UW in 600/smite, but I gain a small number of ectos and it will take a lot of time to get all the ectos...
And waiting for the next festival is not an option, since it will take ages until it will come...
I thought of maybe doing DoA full runs or UW full runs... what will net me more ectos/money to buy ectos?

I farmed tombs in the summer of 2005 (sigils going for 80k-ish <3 ), as well as pre-nerf riverside (runes) and gryphons (gold weapons). Got my fissure armor (~ 2,5 mill gold) pretty damn fast.
Spider Osiris
Currently in the process of getting it.. Farming UW A/E.. 70 ectos in 3 days (:
The Meth
I don't have FoW because its dreadfully ugly, but I farm noobs in kamadan whenever I have free time and usually get good drops.
MonkofHell
I never thought I'd get my Fissure armour - took too much time on a busy schedule of mine.
I was in UW Hardmode Clear (UR), and I opened the end chest and there was a nice Eternal Blade for me
... Sold it the same day for a great offer, than got my armour the same day

I don't have FoW Armor but I could afford 1 set for any of my chars and could get 1 more set if I farmed for a little bit..would only need around 100-200k more for the second set.
As for how I earn money:
Running
Power-trading
FoW/UW Clears
UW Ecto Farming
All there is really.

I got my FoW and torment in about a month of farming.
When DoA first came out, I PUGed for a while, doing 1 or 2 zones a night, and selling gems for ridiculous prices (100k+ each, <3 gold buyers). I found a few nice drops in the chests out there, as well. When I was around 1mil, I joined a guild dedicated to DoA. We got pretty good, and used to do full clears almost nightly (back then that was almost 1mil a night). When all was said and done, at the end of the month, I had full FoW, my torment, and a few mil to spare.
unfortunately, this doesn't help you at all, because after that month was up we'd flooded the market with gems, and a few solo builds had popped up... now gems are more or less worthless.

Okay, well I got my fow in about a week. Here's what works for me... I seem to have a steady cashflow from it.
1) I 600 CoF. If you charge 2k per person and bring a hero smiter you can make at least about 15k per run, plus you get golds, lockpicks, chalices, relics, tomes, etc, and it takes under an hour. If you want to be more ambitious, try to learn to 600 Ooze pit or Kathandrax - Kathandrax is 90k in about an hour, but CoF is crazy easy to learn to do. Kathandrax and ooze take a more experienced 600.
2) In my free time I play dirty merchant. Buy low, sell high - especially when you know something will mess up the market, like when the shadow form update made ectos cheap or if a holiday is coming up and theres tons of party/alcohol/sweets points to sell. I made 60k in about half an hour just by farming stacks of collector items when the last new mask came out. And if you don't know the market yet - use Price Check here and compare prices to Kamadan ad1. you will find many good deals you can resell for profit.
3) Sell anything you don't need - just remember if you want fow more than the black dye you just got, or the elite tome or w/e, you might as well sell that and buy your ecto. For example: I'm not going for the lucky/chest titles, so I sell all lockpicks instead of using them. I sell golds 7 for 5-6k since I'm not using them.
4) Farm Balths faction. There's many farms, mostly involving trapping for the Zaishen elite, where you can get long streaks of wins that will award, at the max, 6k balths faction. This is enough for a Zkey, which is about 5k, and the runs only take half an hour.
5) This is the most boring thing ever but learn to farm faction. If you take 3 customers, you are making about 450 gold per minute doing this. Just look up the build for farming kurzick faction from Lutgardis, and advertise Running HFF 100g ea and people will pay you for a quest run that only takes about a minute to complete with your heroes.
6) Salvage everything that might give you bone, dust, and feathers, and make consumables sets. Sell them for 7k from Temple of Ages. Feathers are usually the hardest to get - you can 600 birds for them north of Bergen. Just farm straight north to the next zone, and return.

I got my second FoW set now, basiclly from raptors and UW 
Just sell golds 7=5k, you can easily get 10k every 30 mins this way.

I just got really good and I farm UW and FoW with my necromancer, because I personally think that 55ing is slower since necros got SS which does more damage and results in a slightly faster farm. Farming with 55 necros is harder and more advanced than farming with monks, since you need to have some great button-mashing skills and some fast fingers/mouse-clicking. Anyways, I have more than enough for the armor, but I think the necro armor is hideous, so I bought a pair of fine looking Chaos gloves, with the matching color for my profession. I'll get Asuran armor, since it's really cool. 
Jag hatar FoW necromancer rustning. Skitfult.
When you have enough ectos to buy the armor, do it. If you have some more, don't waste 'em on Chaos gloves, it IS proven to be a waste, unless they are pretty, pretty, pretty ^_^. Though I bought it because i didn't like the necro FoW armor. All other ecto = sell! But you should wait for the ecto to rise in price (lol it rhymes), then sell it, because I don't like the recent price drop.
But I, keep them in my storage, good ol' storage, for the future.
Lotsa ectoes.... They are like the marijuana of Guild Wars...

First set of FoW I bought w/my ele. 2 months straight of UW w/my monk, usually 600 or 55 (w/e I was in the mood for). After that I decided I wanted to get him some chaos gloves as well, and thankfully at that time SF was buffed so I farmed a set of gloves for both my ele and monk

when you said selling golds 7=5k, those are un-identified golds right?

My friend got 230k from the Cinco de Mayo festival where they gave free alchohol. Was supposed to be 5 each but I just ran in circles trading the 4 people and got around 450 points of alchohol. My friend got 230 in a trade probably because the guy misclicked...

Oh..and I got my FoW set from Zkeys and monthly predictions. Not to mention the gradual buildup of gold through some PvE. Now to finish off my Ranger's bows and gear so I can get back to spending all my time on my Warrior ><.
