Whats you Average Income Now?

I am not shocked, as I am too accustomed to that fact.

I make around 3-5k per hour running around the Crystal Desert, depending on demand.

Just what I pick up now, don't farm any more.
Got enough gold for GW:EN so not worried

100-120k/hour :P.... running GoM ftw... with the new PvE skills I can run up to 4 people at a time @ 10k each... 20 minute run...

Ok, so I'm gonna be one of those whiny jerks who says, "Well it must be nice to do UW, but America never has favor when I'm on and I only PvE so don't tell me to PvP to win favor back....blah, blah, blah."
Ok, that part is done so realistically I enjoy Tombs runs with BP and sometimes doing stuff in Sorrows Furnace. I'm trying to get through Factions now and look forward to play the Deep and Urgoz, but I don't know much about those. I've read there are a bunch of elitest snobs in there.
So I probably make 2-3K/hr on a Tombs run if I don't get any good greens or golds. If I do then it will be anywhere from 5-20K/hr. And as stated before selling the golds/greens is a horribly painstaking process sometimes.

Averages out to about 200g an hour? Last time I checked AB and FA doesn't give gold, so the only gold I get is when I vanquish once a week

I have been testing a new farming build, and so far I've been making around 90k an hour, for the last 7-8 hours that I've done it. I just need to perfect my build, and it'll be even faster 
All I'll say, is that the place is weird, and the build is weirder.

about 533g per hour farming the 2 devourer spawns outside ascalon. those fetid carapaces really pile up.
StarrTheInsane
About 50k/week. Most I even had on my account was 111k. I do art commissions and ferry for tips. I could always use more, but it takes it to make it sometimes.
Aside from that, missions and vanquishing (and the treasure in NF) are all fairly profitable for me. Tomes, green and gold drops, lots of xp.
And know what? I love the game. Not having all the money I need to go and max out my titles right away is actually kinda fun, because it gives me something to look forward to.
Can't wait for GW:EN.

Can average about 50 to 100k an hour depending on luck...Have made less than that in hour but have also made more than that in an hour...I have found that you can also make alot of money about 30 to 50k just by taking toons thorugh any campaign...did this with nightfall and 9 out od 10 characters later about 250k or so...not to bad...Titan Farming is still probably the fastest and most profitable way to farm now days...
KANE OG
Making squat for money, except for HM. I'll keep my ordinary farming spots to myself (except for those in the farming forums). anet screwed us all over. No average.... aaarerrrrrrrrggghhhhh!1!!!!111111 The anger sharks are swimming in my head! aaaauuuggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i had a sale transaction through an online auction and needed like 50k that i didnt have at the time and somehow managed to farm it in like... 1 1/2 hours.. it was nice.. i seemingly cant get more than 20k now though.. if that sometimes.. *SIGH*

I bought 75 lockpicks for 1,250 a piece 3 weeks ago. Since then I've done nothing but vanquishing, opening all chests I run into. Today, I have 3 lockpicks left (30% chance to retain), the same money back in my storage and a few elite tomes I can't be bothered to go sell because it takes too much time. (Request: tome trader!) I saved some gear for personal use and I probably increased some of the stacks in my materials storage as well.
Bottom line, I made 3 lockpicks, some gear and 3 elite tomes in 3 weeks. I'm not getting rich fast.

10 - 15K an hour, would probably be alot more if I stopped giving away all my dead swords and sephis axes that drop there... I just have NO patience to spam WTS for hours on end.
I mainly farm based on what I want/need weapon wise, the money is a bonus. So if I want a Celestial sword I will solo Naphui and vermin tilll i get the one i want. Right now I am after a good scythe for my derv, so it's NF farming all the way!!!

I used to make around 100-150k/ week but since the introduction of HM i don't farm a lot, since I put more effort on titles like legendary guardian and vanquisher.
Elite tomes farming (especially from monk and ritualist bosses) seems to be a really steady source of income since you can sell them really fast for an average of 10-12k each.

And let's be realistic.
First of all, to evaluate properly the amount of money obtained in 1 hour, we need to consider only cash and the items which have a merchant/trader value, like
- normal drops
- rare materials
- some dyes
- rare scrolls
- lockpicks
- some runes
and not those rare items which have a merchant value of 300g but can be sold on the market for tenth or hundreds of k.
An example: I used to farm dragons outside Saint Anjeka Shrine, and collecting all cash and junk items it gave 12-15k per hour.
I got once a r9 gothic sword 15>50 that I sold for 100k, but I cannot count it in the average income, otherwise I could say I was able to make 100k in 2 minutes.
Let's do some math: now that we have loot scale, we have (according to what I read about it) an average of 1 drop every 4 monster killed.
Let's say that the average value of the drop, be it cash or junk item with merchant value, is 100g.
To get 90k per hour, in an hour you have to kill 900 monsters that give you a drop, so 3600 monsters in total.
This means 1 kill each second without stopping.
So, unless you have included in your 90k some gold items you sold for high prices to other players, or you have found an area in which lockpicks, or steel ingots, or damask or black/white dyes or superior vigors drop like crazy, your 90k average is completely unrealistic.

I really wish I could stand farming. I want Vabbi armor for my dervish so very much, but I know I'll NEVER afford the gems I need for it. Discouraging. Anet, why must you hurt me so? ;__;
6am3 Fana71c
Well I don't really need to farm now, since i got almost all I wanted, only thing that remain is Vabbi for dervish. Now, that is a kinda problem because my income is very unsteady. I don't farm, i play Urgoz Warren on HM, so if I complete it, that automatically means 50+ K in my pocket, but in most cases we fail, because i always go with PUGs (No, i can't go with guild group, only guild member is my gf )
That, and occasional Totem Axe i sell is all that fills my budget.

I have never been a really hard core farmer, but pre-nerf I could bring in 10-15K an hour if I put my mind to it.
Other than farming for a Colossal Scimitar for my IW Mesmer, I have not farmed since the loot scaling change. I find it simply too frustrating now.
Fortunately my main character has pretty much everything he needs, and I am quite happy for my other characters to wear 1.5K armour.
I spend most of my time doing ABs now.

I only have 400k + 70 ectos. I had way more than that last year (I do tons of sales), since minipet were popular back then (e.g. Siege Turtle 60K, Mini Shiro 100k+ 2 ectos)

Now NF gives you up to 20k & 9 Golds free every 1-2 months and people still complain?
All the loot nerf QQ is laughable.
Phantom Gun
I make about the same amount of gold. Lately i've been HM farming LB/SS points out of Remains of Sahlahja. I've been pulling in about 1 - 3k per run just selling to the merchants. That's not counting the runes, tomes, and rare crafting materials that are slowly stacking up in my storage. So i'm actualy doing pretty good. For me anyway. 
When i'm just playing casualy through quests and stuff I make about 300 - 3k gold in merchant trash. However I "usualy" don't come out with the extra stuff.

Why in world would anyone consider earning 30k/Hour reasonable? There is absolutely no need to have that kind of money. Especially in Guild Wars. Even for getting 15k armor.. you're not supposed to get these things in a few hours!

In all honesty Farming UW and getting free treasure is the only half decent way to make any sort of money, which is a shame. |

LOL i cant belive ppl still play this!

2-3k/week
i only log in every saturday to monk for my guild on the weekly urgoz run, be it nm or hm i still get the same quality drops and are no better in hm

same as lot ppl here, dont really care bout money anymore, got everything i want,PvE titles, minis,rare skins etc. and yes, into PvP more nowadays, 900 more fame, then i can spin the kitty around

I don't really track it per hour, but I'm sure I'm making money faster now than before.
I used to do quests and missions with full size groups. Now I do vanquishing and missions with full size groups in hard mode. Much better.
I never much cared for solo farming. I make enough money for elite armor and fully tricked-out heroes for all of my characters without having to solo farm. How much money do you need?

I'm a casual player who sometimes plays from 3 hours a week and sometimes plays for a couple hours a day. Since I don't spend hours on end playing and I don't have guaranteed playtime every day, I don't really feel I have the time to farm (though admit that I have). Instead, I usually just play thru the game and work on my different characters based on my mood.
Before the Loot Scaling, however, I would make about 10k in a couple hours of gameplay. Now, I am lucky to make 2k in a couple hours of casual and this is an extremely deterring factor. All of my in game mates confirm that they have also been this badly affected by the Loot Scaling.
aNet claims that they created the Loot Scaling with the "casual player" in mind, but I have still seen no solution or explanation to why it is that the casual players have been, in contrasting, affected the least favourably. Instead, the only way to make substantial money is to become a farmer or trade spammer.

i AB alot to so dont farm that often

i used to make any where between 50-200k every few day. ( you need about 100k to begin with to make any serious money)
buy materials from people. make into a consets sell consets between 6-8k each. and around 3-5k profit, depending on how much i buy my materials for and how much u sell the sets for ( and how meny ppl are buying) but yea you could easy make a few mill in a month. but its REALY boring and extremly tedious

Master Knightfall
Ever since I found a spot where black and white dyes drop abundantly for me I've made 10k-20k (playing HM for the elite tome drops) in a hour or thereabouts. I can do probably 20 runs an hour in this one spot. Run out kill gather drops rince and repeat. Lol SonofAxes don't tell them they'll just ruin your farm cause 10 zillion people will start farming if you tell them where you make your money. That's really why they toss up these kinds of threads to get free information about where the good places are. I spent a lot of time an effort to find my spot(s) and I ain't tellin anyone where they are. You can believe me or not...don't really care I know what is what and where it is now. <grin>
