I've been farming for a little while now, and I would like to know what the average income for farming is, so I can improve mine.
I can make about 10-13k an hour Hydra faming with my 55hp monk.
How much can you make per hour/minute, and where do you farm it?

dont feel no pain
suprisngly i farm trolls....all of them in the cave + the bosses, i make 1-3K per run (trick is to indentify all unidentifed items and if thier highy salvagable...salvage lol...and if thier precious which is great lol, or just slighty modded, just sell sell sell to merchant, i get dyes often too , no blacks but a few silvers so i like it =] , + shiver peak keys and if im a lucky a gold........IF im lucky lol, so yeah my runs take around 4-6 mins to take out both bosses so if i work that out..... around 10-30k per hour + possible gold drops =] and alot of shiverpeak keys, i only do it when im bored lol

Shiroken farming at harvest temple with a spirit bond Mesmer is the best I have found. Can easily get 750-1250 a run which lasts about 2 mins. I have made up 4k a run after selling the lame golds. There is also the chance that you could get that really sweet gold too. The only prob is that it is very boring.

)

i say shiroken farming ftw!! yea it can get boring, but also needs quite some concentration there imo, or else u get interrupted easily! 3-4k per run in 5-7mins^^
beltran13579

Droks running (if you can do it) can be dam profitable. 10k per run, 2 or 3 runs per hour.
As for farming, I can make around 10k an hour (and the odd gold drop/silver or black dye), 13k from the Hydra and about 9k from the Minotaurs with 55/Spirit Bond monk.
Alternatively, farm the FoW or something. My friend taught me, and on his show-me-how run, he made 24k in an hour. The most I have made there is 16k in an hour + a nice gold hp+30 sword + a crap load of glittering dust.

Farm canthan bosses...but those that drop a 20k worth or above because its casual..in 10 runs can get 2 items..or in 100 items can get u 1 item..and that in a hour or so...thats why i only farm the bosses near city entrances.if no drop..lets go again and again
AuraofMana
Elite missions, averaged to around 50k per 30 minutes if you have decent chests. If you have awesome chests, then you can get around 200-400k off of a single gold.
Chest runs are also profitable, around 100k in 2-3 hrs? It seems buying keys and getting crappy items are very wasteful, but it always pays off.

chkkr the locust lord solo farm. i dont know how much ive made per hour. but ive gotten about 8 pairs of pincers in 2 weeks of non compulsive farming. prices ranged from 17-25k or the equivilant in ectos

Bloodied Blade
I like to run elona...5k every 8-10 mins or so averages out to ~the same as droks running and sometimes more.
For pure cash farm I just mo/n the minotaurs in elona, 30 second mob kills (as in mob clump time + 30 seconds = dead).

Just an fyi to the OP, people generally report what they earn in a best scenario run when they say how much they make farming, so don't take too many of these too seriously.
vahlah
Yes I agree with XvArchonvX, people usually take best runs into acc. and some overestemate their profits. 3-4k in shiroken farming just from gold (money) drops or items is not possible even before they nerfed the gold item drops.
70-140k from running shiverpeak in 30min to 1 hour yeah right on.
stop lying people , yes decent money can be erned from each of the things/locations stated here but just not as much as all of you keep saying.

Some numbers (according to me)
Most profitable = Vermin (average 2k per run)
Fastest = Dragon Moss in Drazach Thicket
Of course UW and FoW are the better area's then these but if u consider the time/gold farmed balance, i think Vermin brings the most profit IMO
My 2 cents

I prefer Underworld duo or solo most of the time for farming. If I'm not farming there then generally I'll go solo Shiro'ken.
1 Hour of UW Duo: (10-12k/Hour:~40k/Hour)
In a worst case scenario you can do 3-4 runs in an hour and get no ecto, which would make you around 10k in drops, providing you didn't die and have to pay an extra entrance fee.
On a good run in an hour I usually get 3-4 ecto sometimes more, it just depends on how greedy the cows and bugs are feeling. If you get your 3-4 ecto then you've made ~30-40k depending on the price of ecto.
1 Hour of UW Solo: (12-16k/Hour:55-70k/Hour)
While I'm still getting the hang of solo I can usually complete a solo smite run in around 20 minutes. If no ecto drops then I still get my 4k in drops (make sure to clear out most of your inventory). On a typical run I usually get 2 ecto which is around 18k in 20 minutes.
1 Hour of Shiro'ken farming: (if the anti-farm didn't kick in on me then I could tell you an exact number... ~60k/Hour)
Shiro'ken farming, because I don't have a mesmer is particularly frustrating for me which is why I spend more time duoing UW or soloing FoW/UW. They drop tons of merchant food and make you usually 1.5-2k per run. I typically farm them until my inventory fills and do that usually 2-3 times and give them a rest for a couple hours.

If done in a duo team it's fast and nets you around 6 Plat / 2 Persons for roughly 10 Minutes (depends upon spawns). If you know how to salvage and what to salvage you can get another 1-2 Plat per run due to rare materials or materials you can craft something from. Plus you've got the added chance of getting green items from Kyrils, Sunreach, Falaharn or Arborearth.

Im going to try and give as realistic figures as possible for the farming I do, so if they dont seem as fancy or as good as some of the others I'm sorry 
Solo Rit Farming:
Rheas Crater - aprox ~2-3.5 plat per run (aprox 15-20 mins) assuming all white / blue items are sold w/o salvage. In addition there are on average 0-3 gold drops, 1-2 purple drops and 0-2 green drops per run.
Highest Profit In A Single Run (Includes Drops/Dye/Mats) = 76.235k
Lowest Profit In A Single Run (Includes Drops/Dye/Mats) = 1.446k
Average Income Per Hour- 6.5k ~21.8k per hour in pure gold + drops
Percent Chance Failure Of Run - 0% (dp does affect run)
Solo Underworld Farming - aprox 1.9~3.5 plat per run (adjusted for fee) (aprox 25 mins) this assumes all blue / white items are sold from inventory w/o salvage. On average there are 0-6 gold drops per run 2-4 purple drops per run and 0-3 ecto drops per run.
Highest Profit In A Single Run (Includes Drops/Dye/Mats) = 146.992k
Lowest Profit In A Single Run (Includes Drops/Dye/Mats) = 2.152k
Average Income Per Hour- 12~70.5k per hour in gold + drops
Percent Chance Failure Of Run - 25%

I made a nice amount of money doing this
All the shiverpeak areas are profitable, making 6-8k in 30 minutes since I'm used to it. Although, soloing UW and FoW: Beach, Forest and Tower of Courage is the most profitable since you might find ectos, shards and rubies.

pegasux
for the shiroken i typically make 750-1500 per run...keep in mind that the longer you farm here the worse the drops! the gold drops have been nerfed so the insane profit there is gone. in a bad hour you can still get 20k at the worse. otherwise i would rather farm constructs and sell off their greens. 1 green per 20-25 min run = 20-60k. i've had runs where i've gotten 3 greens before <before the big price drop>.
BigDave
I usually just stick to farming pongmei valley with a mist form ele + fire magic. Very, very easy and gets me about 15k per hour. Not huge profits but i'm not one for buying the 100k+ items anyway so what do i care? lol
Put on some music, crack open a few beers and relax after work for a couple of hours. Almost no thinking required.....just the way i like it!

I use three of my chars for farming i.e. Warrior, Ranger and Ritualist. Am saving up for monk 55 armor and am thinking about trying the spirit bond build.
Anyway over a period of time, have come to like the following runs in terms of profit.
Warrior
Vermin: 2-3K per run. Basically I go through the skyway, kill shreader, zone through into wajjun and back. Thats one run for me and usually fills up my inventory. Potential for dye drops is good. Havent gotten any gold items here and its very boring BUT very easy and sure profit.
Trolls/Minos: Do this when I am bored. Trolls sometimes drop gold weapons.
Ettins: For the rune unlocks and that superior vigor once in a while.
Ranger
Pongmei: Easy, boring and 1-2K per run. Got 1 gold items and lots of materials if you want to stock up.
Ritualist
This is the character I have most fun farming with. Havent tried UW/FoW yet.
Pongmei: Very easy and no challenge
Rhea's: Good and nice challenge. Cash 2-3K per run. Potential for gold, purple and green drops i.e. daggers. Salavaged a couple of sundering mods in one run and got one green ungues of the oni - straight 50K profit. Also unlocked all dagger mods even though I dont have a sin
I am an infrequent farmer i.e. do 2-3 runs at max with 2 chars before going off to do work on titles (protector) and play every other day on account of work. I have noticed that my drops generally tend to be good.

Attempting to be realistic here lol:
Vermin Farming (W/Mo) - 15mins, up to bazzar and back again, 3k plus a fair few keys and the odd 10-20 damage gold celestial longbow (although 1 zealous bow string). I shant talk about the green located around there, im begining to cringe when i see that boos lol.
Pongmei (W/Mo) - 15 Mins - 3/4/5 runs - 3/4/5k - Much much better for the xp and drops generally sell better to the merchants.
Shiroken (Mo/Me) - 15 Mins - 5 runs - 5k on average, good key, drops, and dyes here. Most profitable area, but area most easily carried away with and anti-farming code urghh lol.
I generally rotate between these 3 as i can no longer be bothered with those bloomin useless trolls. On AVERAGE - 17k an hour. Not taking into consideration gold drops etc because they are so unpredictable.
From time-to-time i duo uw with my necro but it always seems a bit dissapionting these days so stick with mainly factions farming.

P.S. how the hell do you get 140k an hour out of shiverpeak running?

i can make about 1k a run farming runes east of beetletun. Then you can get lucky with a couple of runes so i think that it isn't bad. and its pretty easy with a w/mo. runs only take like 4 mimutes a run.

Is this a joke? 140k for solo shiverpeaks tour? All due respect that is BS.
Assuming you run the southern shiverpeaks... Beacons-Rankor-Droks-Warcamp-Citadel-Copperhammer-Iron Mines-Thunderhead Keep-Marhans Grotto.
I seriously cannot see that going above 15k at the most.
