Hello, i was just wondering what everyone uses to get all the cash for that perfect sword or axe they want.
I know a range of builds, for example: HM Spider Farm, 55 UW, Solo DoA. But i can never seem to get enough money fast enough.
I would like to know some Colossal Builds or something as ive never seen a build for them been past around. But then again whatever you use to make the best money possible i would like to know for mine and other's uses.

Thank you in advance

Personally I think FoW and UW is a waste of time. It takes like 30-40 minutes and you make maybe 2k, and a chance of an ecto. My farms make me maybe 1k+ every few minutes. I do the hydras+griffins outside of augury, arborstone explorable, Gates Of Kryta, nolani reach, and some others that haven't been farmed out yet, all in hm.
This build>all

Enjoy. And for places where there is kd, (everything but gates) substitute blessed signet for that one derv enchant, fleeting stability or something like that.
EDIT: I would like to know the build for solo doa

I can only assume he is reffering to the Necro Solo Veil Farm.

EDIT: I would like to know the build for solo doa Even something as slow as W/Rt can do a solo smite run in 15 minutes, and get on average 1 ecto a run. UW is still the best for a steady source of gold, 30k an hour easy.

IMHO i'm getting sick of these " I want money, fast painless, and want to do no research " threads.
Just take any of the threads started here and try farming with them. After the hm update you can merch less, but should get better drops. (Not getting much of those farming, or vanquishing :/ ). For steady money in come go run somewhere in tyria.

Just playing through missions and collecting random stuff that drops gives decent money too.

The W/Rt UW solo can be done in 10-15 minutes with average of 1 ecto a run, really sped up since removal of aoe scatter.

55hp Mo/D with mystic regeneration, shield of absorption and shielding hands probly is > than any other farm build atm, can do most stuff in HM, only energy denial and enchant removal can kill you, for the rest your basicly invincible,no matter how many attack you.

The Rt/W build is good for the Underworld as well. It's faster than W/Rt and is less fragile against nightmares than E/Me.

From what ive heard now i guess anywhere thats possible to farm in HM is a good farming spot, for instance Gates Of Kryta with a 55, Moddok Crevice with a Wamo.... and others i shall not reveal as they are very good

But as most of you said, FoW and UW are still very good ways to make money, and even better if you can do it in hard mode (I duo UW in HM )

Hmmm, seems ele swords are very popular at the moment, guess we gonna have to be doing some chest runs

*Yawns*

I get more money than I'd say I actually need by 55ing the Corsairs outside the Astralarium and going through Fahranur, the First City.... both on Hard Mode...

I mean I average around 1 gold a run on the Corsairs... maybe 2 average in Fahranur... and merch all the chalks and opals. Got a White Dye yesterday too, which I just stuck in storage (since I like collecting dye).


More to the point though... why spend your time farming to collect money to buy the weapon you want..... when you could just be farming directly to get the weapon you want? o_0;
Is it a weapon that can't be farmed... and if so... what?! ...

endgame items can't be farmed.

I wait for special event items to show up, and just farm them like mad crazy. The money I make last me to the next event.

taco salad knows whats up. I made over 250k in a few hours farming legs and webs for that pig holiday (new years?). Outside of holidays I usually do the Rilohn HM spider farm. Its good money, comparable to UW, plus its 10 times easier.

The thing about farming is that you have to actually do it, a lot, if you want the best stuff. Simply having a good build/location and doing a couple of runs every now and then isn't going to get you anywhere. IMO, thats why most of these 'wtf were is teh moneyyy' posts pop up.

Why are you here then? Everyone is here to either learn how to make money or tell others how, no other point in a farming thread.

Then again with people like this "I came here to get your ideas not give any of my own" I can see why it makes you mad I don't think you understand what MR Groovy is saying, at all. You can't just do a few farming runs and get rich quick, that is not how the world works, you gotta grind to get money, you can't just expect to be a millionaire after three runs of solo uw.

10 points Mikey!!!

Even lucrative farms need to be worked at, otherwise they not "farms"

Farming = Repeatedly killing the same group of creatures for money and items... Going once or twice aint farming...

Try this: Farm for 30 mins, then go do a mission, farm 30, mission... This is how I play and it works nicely... The missioning breaks the monotony of the farming, and the farming nets you nice gold and items...

I can understand what he is looking for. The most farming places and builds on this forum are about farming a 'rare' item, but if you don't get that 'rare' item, you wasted your time. The amount of gold you earn with those farm isn't that high. So, I think he is looking for a farm that just gives you a lot of cash 30k/hour, 50k/hour? you say it.

But I am afraid those farms are pretty rare atm, coz Anet nerfed the drop rate. Except those rare items he don't wanna farm

Well heres my suggestion for economy money making. Currently the ecto prices are in the toilet. about 5k each. What will happen is that people will stop farming them and FoW armor seekers will buy from the traders. once that happens the price will rocket up again. What I suggest is to buy a crapload of ectos for 5k each and wait for the spike. then sell them.

Chances are im gonna go into stock trading when im older. loool.

With the loot code in place and ecto can be sold to the trader for a fair amount of cash, it is the only way these days for the ebay gold selling ppl to make money.

But then again every cloud has a silver lining: my necro's FoW armor will cost me half the price i would have payed for it a few months ago.

Pretty much any fast farm will do...minos, hydras...if it's on HM.

Hell...if you're willing to do things methodically, FoW Ranger and Warrior, and UW Ranger, Monk (duo), Warrior, and Rit are all good.

other places i farm with my necro:
proph titans (DNKP)
NF titans (exuro and friends)
Rilohn (N/A with dash+SoH+SS, in HM)
outside serenity temple (leet drops, actually)
and all the old places, UW/FoW/Trolls/Minos/Hydras/Griffs (HM, of course!)
many many more as well. pretty much anywhere in HM works, /agree with blade.

I might have to consider investing for future sets of FoW armour myself...
.... Not for Necro... blech... >_<; ...
... Not for Assassin... fence-tangle much... ¬_¬
.. Not for Monk or Elementalist... both boring... v_v;
. For Ritualist. Teapot-head FTW.
Maybe for Dervish too. Dervish FoW wins at life.

O'course... before then, I'll hafta farm Colossal Scimitars, Zodiac Weapons and whatnot to death and sell them at prices that would have made traders' eyes falls out a month or so ago.
