My story: I level a character, and beat the story, but then whenever i try to farm, i can never dedicate myself to one area. I solo'd FoW with my warrior for a week. A long time ago i tried the Ettins outside Beeteltun. I've done countless things and always got crap drops.

Its not so bad, i at least have droks/Keineng armors and max weapons (collectors or crap golds), but i've always wanted 15k armor.

This is not a beg topic, don't beg please.

#1, because of not #3. Farming seems to be the only way to make money in this game...

EDIT: Wait, only been playing for 8.5 months. >_< But it's still a long time.

It may sound I dunno patronising. But has anyone who has played regually for a year never had more than 10K total wealth(and I mean if you added up all your drops you ever had)

Got a song in mind? If we all picked different songs that be bad.

Proof-read before posting a new thread.

You should have more than 10k by playing through the game with 2 or 3 sets of armor.

I think it's impossible. I played AB during this weekend's event for an hour, like any other casual person, and made 5k in Amber.

If you have played for a year, you definately have played more than a few hours.

(I somehow think this thread is a veiled begging request. )

Well i played throught both games 5 times now and i made enough money to have them all with normal armor, dye mix, runes and greens and i still have some money left... its all in the salvage and sell...

(of course if you want to have 15k armor you have to farm but here comes the question: anet doesnt want us to farm, so how are we supposed to get 15k or even fow armor when playing throught both games doesnt get us enough money?)

2000+ hours since release of Prophecies (account is reset afetr E3 and betas) and I've got a few perfects but they were never bought and I never farmed for them.

I've seen people get perfect weapons after a month, so I don't believe in this thread

I'm speechless, you obviously need help playing the game. Find yourself a decent PvE guild.

I'm not even a PvE player (I OCCASIONALLY go to the UW w/ my SS necro when America has favor) and I have had a few 15^50 eternal/storm bows, but I don't have 15k armor. 1.5k is PERFECT for me. Even though my 1.5k armor is dyed black.

1 and 2 are mine. I only have less than 10k because I just bought three sets of 15k armour in a row for somethin to do until NF comes out and a crap load of dyes to colour them with. I don't have perfect golds because the greens are over farmed and so the prices are MUCH lower than perfect golds, hence I don't buy golds at all, and also collector items are even better.

I have more money than that for number 1.

For number 2, I only have 1 perfect gold weapon, a req8 15^50 Shortbow, and thats like the cheapest of the perfect weapons lol

For Number 3, I have 15k armors, but no FoW armors.

As for a good PvE Guild Admin's Bane...Tell me one >_> I'm in a guild with some friends right now, It isn't big at all, and not so active, and doesn't have a theme (we gvg when we get 7-8 on, but we do nothing else together), BUT they are friends, so I'd take a good guild to get me out.

Mony makes this game boring if you have to much. Looks heaven is crap so keep your cash low and have more fun in the end.

i mean like why get a 3000k title if you can make 3 ppl happy with fissure.

Wow, people here are impulsive, if you actually read the OP, then why you coming here unsigning w/ your 1000k and basically the oppossite of the thread. I know that its really hard to be playing a year w/ multiple chars and keep yourself that low, but still, no point coming here to brag :\ Just had to point that out, after reading the OP, then immediately seeing all these people, made me think of how stupid alot of people are. /rant

Wow, me too. I was insurance adjusting though.

Never been one to solo farm so I'm not among the uber rich, but where there is a farming group, I'm in it. I've done just fine, only started to really make some money since the beginning of this year with SF and Tombs. Now with Factions I hunt down the more coveted items.

Won't buy Obsi armor for the expense except maybe the warrior helm (because i like the look), but only after my warr has much more experience to the point I think he's worthy of wearing it (I'm still a nub tank yet).

All my 6 slots have some form of 15k armor or another.

Sometimes I think of giving large chunks of my gold away to guildies or alliance members that are having trouble, but then I realize I'm not really doing them any favors by doing so, and I like the idea of the one day I finally put this game down to just take it all with me, pharoah style.

People are pointing out he is doing something wrong, there is no reason for anyone to be that poor.

Droks armor for example, 6k gold should be no problem by the time you reach Droks if you play through the game correctly. OP is either bullshitting or is desperate need of some guidance.

NOt singing here.


A full fow set (warrior seemed the most appealing)

1000k in storage

Some perfect weps(fellblade, dual gothic axe, just skins i like)

And other 15k armors on necro and monk.
Been playing about 5 months, 600 hours or so.


Really, the secret is power trading. Farming can only get you so much. Once you become familiar with street prices, and guru prices, the real money is made. OP, become a power trader, it is the only way to get past your 10k obstacle...

Piss poor advice.

The OP power trading..hmm, by the looks if it he/she doesnt even know how to farm so how the hell is he/she going to raise the capital needed to start power trading?

NOT SIGNED. I really don't farm as most people would see it but I DO do a lot of exploreing. I have completed Original GW 3 times and Factions 5 times. I really can't understand people who say they have never had more than 10k. In a couple of hours if that in the FOW today I got 5 shards thats 15k. No I was'nt soloing it was with a full group. The other days I got both dragos bows that 50k. Heres a tip pick up EVERY drop that you get and anyone elses who does'nt want as well, the money will soon add up. I have 3 sets of 15k and Several "perfect" weapons EG 2x Req 8 15^50 storm bows, all the mini pets apart from the gold and green ones. and currently about 150k in gold.
