I second shiroken farming with my mesmer. Paid for FoW Chest and Boots in about 2.5 weeks of casual farming.
As for your wammo, vermin farming is really 1.4k to 2.2k a run depending on your luck, drop etc. At that rate, you could pull 10k+ an hour without trying too hard. The build(s) are in the farming forum.

Everyone has their opinion about what is the best build to farm with. I have experimented with several classes and different builds in each class. I suggest, pick a class you like and then build it with the weapons, skills, and attributes set to what works for you. Then just keep using it until you know what to use and when. It takes time and lots of practice to be good at anything. You can't build a Tank and just jump in and go to war. You have to know how to use it.
I love my Nuker for farming. That is because I use her for everything and have learned how to use her.

Alrighty, he goes my ultra secret farm list 
mo/e or e/mo Ghial solo- found in the Farming section, staff sells for 25-30k.
mo/x UW tank in duo team- I'm sure this isn't hard to find...
SS necro in Duo team- Probably in the same area as the Monk tank
w/mo vermin farming- solo farms thread in the farming subsection of "the campfire"
running elona reach mission- very easy, pay a runner to show you. 5k a run if you run a full group.
ritualist (personal favorite)- solo UW, Vermin, Oni, others
w/x- rajazan farming
r/a rajazan farming
mo/me or me/mo shiro'ken.
Sorrows furnace
Fissure of Woe
and that's my lineup right now. I like to rotate so I don't get bored and because of the anti-farm code (
). Even better, just go to the "the campfire" section, go to the farming subsection and click the thread "solo farming, list of builds". You can find everything you've ever wanted from there.

Thats a good link with a lot of builds. Also, if I were you, I wouldn't farm with a warrior. All the farming things I can ever find for warrior usually are really nerfed and therefore hardly get any money. If I were you, I would make a 55 necro or 55 monk. Then go farming for lots of materials and white items. Identify the white items with the cheapest salvage kit posible and sell those to the merchant. Then look through the links below and try to salvage the items that give materials that are selling for a lot, or ones that you want.
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Categor...ting_materials
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Categor...ting_materials
That is currently the best way that I've found to make money. (although it is slow, unfortunately)
Another way to do it is to just play through the game normally doing all the missions and quests and things you can with your characters. It isn't accual farming, and its way slower than farming, but its also a lot funner than farming.

Dude honestly, I've been farming with my first Warrior since I learned how, and I never got the knack of making uber amounts of money in short periods of time. No matter how you look at it, it's going to take time, maybe less for some but there's going to be some patience needed in general.
Work your way up, that's what I've always been told.
Start with trolls, whether they provide good drops or not, that'll give you a decent understanding of how stance warriors work. At least for farming, because farming trolls is easy as hell after you do it about 3 times.
Trolls don't drop rare items usually, maybe a few purples, OCCASIONALLY a gold, but mostly they drop GP and amassable items that you can build up over time and sell. In 2-5 troll runs, I get about 2-5k depending on how good and how many the drops are. But if you keep at it, NOT ALL DAY, take breaks, please. Just know that the more you farm something, the less valuable the drops will be, and there's also a limit on how much you can farm, eventually the drops will just stop. I believe someone stated that already.
Hydra farming in the Crystal Desert is good, well, it used to be. I find that's dying down a lot too, but it still rakes in a few grand if you keep at it. Hydra farming takes a bit of getting used to and relies more on timing than troll farming, the only real timing you need for troll farming is throwing up your defensive stances and hoping to Mishakal that they don't disrupt any of your skills.
Vermin farming is decent, someone told me about that, I haven't made much but that's because I'm still getting used to doing it. I would also say try ettin farming in Kryta. If you're lucky, they'll drop decent runes. They used to drop a lot of Superior Vigor runes, but everyone pretty much robbed the concept of that, sooo yeah. I find a lot of Superior Divine Favour runes and Superior Healing runes, those go for a good 4-5k each at the vendor, maybe 6 or 7 if you find a gullable noob waltzing around.
[This is really long and pretty redundant seeing as it's all been stated before]
Alas.
You may wish to try FoW and UW farming when you feel you are capable.
It's so fun when you get the hang of it, the only problem is that initial 1k payment to enter into the area. Luckily, if you're in a guild with generous members who like to farm the same areas, they might pay for you (as in my case), but usually, if you do a LOT of it, you should try to put aside a certain amount of money to be spent on ENTERING FoW and UW, and then save up all the rest of your money for 15k armor.
It all adds up eventually, it just takes time.
I get fed up, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people get fed up with waiting, but when the day comes to buy your first set of 15k armor (or FoW armor in my case ... SAVESAVESAVEguhh), it's glorious.
Browse GWGuru though, seriously. This forum helps more than most people tend to believe.
Good luck.
[Edit: Another thing you might want to get into the habit of doing, is salvaging absolutely everything that doesn't have a decent price on it for material purposes. Materials add up like crazy, and if you get a few stacks you'll make some good money. Don't waste money on salvage kits though, there's a collector right outside Shing Jea Monastery that collects Mantid Pincers (I believe), I think it's 3 and you get a salvage kit. Make use of that if you don't care for Expert or Superior kits. Cheers]

What's so difficult about farming trolls outside droks? i dont get it, the skills are simple enough to use. its almost like button smashing. I use a combo of cyclone axe + triple chop(elite) and bonettis stance (of coz live vicariously is on) the rest is just sprint and nothing else. Get a elemental prefix on ur axe and start chopping and turning with ur axe skills. Hit bons when u have adren up.
If u do it correctly, 1k minimum per run or so, sometimes its 1.4k. Silver dyes, gold drops, gold runes, keys (whether u choose to merchant it or use it to open the chest inside or near the cave) will further increase ur returns. I don't think its matter of u suck at warrior troll farming, i think its either u didnt put enough into it or u are getting some wrong info. 1 run being 3~5mins, 1hour should get 12 to 15k at least.
I don't think the OP can do the shiroken farming using mes/mo or mo/mes protsp + spiritbond. So let him try something simple like trolls or minos, when he's up to them, den move on to vermins, or boss farming, and so on.

and in general, i think that every account should have a monk on it
Come on people, do you not recognize a troll when you see one? I would have given the benefit of doubt the first post or two, but after that they person is just stringing you along. It's so obvious it's amusing - either that or the original poster is so cliche it is *really* sad.
If anyone doing a search for this finds it - there is a farming forum - go there. Best is to just peruse that, look up eviscerate warriors and 55 monks. Outside of that - everything gets harder and more specific to a general area.

like many people who have replied to this and many of these before.
This doesn't have a simple or complex answer. This is the best i have for class.
1) The best class to be for farming is Monk hands downs.
a) 55 Solo // 2 man
b) every party needs a healer.
Class isn't the main factor in making money, but overall, if u can afford 5 sets of armor, monks are the best. However if you can afford 5 sets of armor, i beg to ask why you would be asking in the first place. If this is a question asked by a first time player, i would have to reccomend offensive casting in teams, currently ele nukers and SS necros seem to be the most common.

IMO vermins outside senjis are one of the best low lvl farm spots, you can get 2.5-3k selling all the stuff that drops and it takes like 15-20 mins max, its an easy run that can be taken in baby steps, once you "master" it, you can aggro all the vermins at once and save time ^_^
by the way with all the mino horns you can trade 5 of them for armor outside augury and sell the pieces 125g ea or recycle and get tanned hides to sell the materials

Anyway to the op, a monk would have an easier time farming stuff.
I find it faster when I fram with a monk/necro/mesmer
Go to Droks and follow my short guide;
Honestly Farming Trolls with a warrior was at first hard for me but then a light went off one day and it is now it is easy. (it is my only money maker I use)
1. Start Live Vicariously as soon as you enter the Talus Chute
2. Run to cave (if birds follow you run till you break agro) If they are standing right outside the entrance of cave rezone
3. Target and agro trolls. When they get close to you hit Vigorous spirit
4. Do not look at the trolls and numbers flashing (They will mesmerize you) Look at skills and you Targets Health bar.
5. Hit Cyclone axe
6. Hit Bonnetties defense
7. Hit Cyclone axe
8. Hit Bonnetties defense
9. Hit Cyclone axe
10. Hit Vigorous spirit
11. Hit Bonnetties defense
12. Repeat till they die
Goal is to always have always have Vigorous spirit up and Always hit Bonnetties defense after you attack.
If you kill your target. Hit “C” and Target another foe and keep following the above till they all die. If for some reason they get an interruption on you and you die retry it. You can still kill them with a negative 15%-30% on you.
(Totem axe is a good choice for farming Trolls + 20% enchantments / Tactics Max Shield with health)
Level 20 Attributes and extra attributes quests done
Axe- 16
Healing- enough to get 9 healing of off Vig Spirit
Tactics- Balance of points
Str- if you have any spill over
If you have Factions it is even easier change the above to
1. Hit Cyclone axe
2. Hit Triple Chop
3. Hit Bonnetties defense
4. Hit Cyclone axe
5. Hit Bonnetties defense
6. Hit Cyclone axe
7. Hit Triple Chop
8. Hit Vigorous spirit
Hopefully you get the picture
Skills that I use
Cyclone Axe
Triple Chop Elite From Factions
Live Vicariously
Vigorous spirit
Bonetties Defense
Drunken blow (For Warrior boss)

Forgot to mention Save your troll Tusks and run to collector in Snake Dance. Trade him troll tusks for items them merch the items. Helps to make a little more coin. Refer to Wiki and search under mountain troll tusks for more info. Edit - Sell all drops and you should get close to 1 k a run. I kill the larger group of trolls then I go after the Warrior Boss. Hope for Rare scrolls to drop from him. Salvage an sell any Highly salvagable Item and hope for Rares components like Steel. Go to the respective trader and trade them for cash.
