Progressive gold farming is a term i used to name those farmings that give you profits in a progressive mode, such as anguish gemstone farming (which is the farming i prefer and use), oppossing those that give you large amounts of gold between large gaps of time, like high-end goldens.
I used to farm torment gemstones, that gave me about 20k in 1,5 hours with the E/A build, but, since GW:EN came out, trying to trade those gems is really painful.
UW doesn't seem to reach a good profit too since the price of ectos got so low and due to the fact of losing 1k each time you make a mistake.
Farming for craps in trolls, minotaurs or other areas has no sense since drop cap.
I have been looking in lots of forums, asked ppl in game and still lost. I can't find a place giving the same amount of gold per hour for my Ele, and wouldn't like to have to wait for HM in GW:EN to find it.
Any ideas out there?

If you want money, farm the collectables like Destroyer Cores or Glacial Stones. But the easiest way imo is too just play the game lol, Dunno, do a few dungeons every now and again, get into a team and do a Foundry run, Do a complete, 8Man clear UW team... Just play the game and hope for the best.... works for me anwyays ^_^

Get all your characters through Nightfall then every 30 days collect those Treasure Chests, if you have five characters through nightfall thats an easy 100K + 20-30+ gold items every month for free basically. (Yea you have to wait every 30 days but its free money). Also, just try farming whatevers hot, for instance Destroyer cores and Glacial Stones are hot right now even the Mini moa birds are selling 50k+ for about an hour worth of work.
Also you can stock up on Halloween/ Christmas collectables for about 20g per right now then sell them when the event goes life for 100g+ per. (Example Singed Gargoyle Skulls)
Give the people what they want and alot of it basically.
Strike that there are 12 Treasure chests that each of your characters can get so 100k+ a max of 60 golds items/gems (rarely purples)

Hulking eles outside Sanitarium on HM have been nice to my ele. A few hours last night, made 20k, a black dye, two lockpicks, 150 granite slabs, 20 charcoal, and 8 golds. For how easy it is, its a great farm. Dont even need an elite skill :-p

I have tried core and brotherhood cloth farming (PvP always makes me being late on these discoveries) and works ok.
Thnx a lot

One was in Nightfallen Jahai. As for the other, it was somewhere in Vabbi that I don't rightly remember.
Do the free chests give better loot in Hard Mode or not?

Seconded. You can kill about 30 in under 7 minutes. There are also two bosses, Cobble Poundstone and Flint Touchstone, included. I have gotten a lot of reg warrior tomes, a couple of elite war tomes, two passage scrolls, a lot of req. 9 inscr swords, and a good bit of dye. They hand out money pretty well, also.

Any hints on the build?
They're too spaced out to silver armor, is it a fire based build?

Balthazar's Aura
Stoneflesh AUra
Armor of Earth
Glyph of Elemental Power
Meteor Shower
Incendiary Bonds
Phoenix
Flame dijnn's Haste
You do the attack spells in the order listed. If you do it right, the second meteor shower, the Incendiary Bonds, and the Phoenix should hit at the same time. The boosted stats top it off. There is at least one thread I know of that spells this out in greater detail. Not my build, I'm a moocher.

There you have it. Note that the skill icon of Armor of Earth is screwed up and uses the icon of Kinetic Armor.
Are you sure it isn't Balthazar's Spirit? If it is:

Go outside the market place with echo soj shielding hands and shield of absorption.
And just kill them, normal upkeep enchants, of course

From what I heard.... even my Assassin's bog-standard PvE build with one skill-tweak at most can farm those fetchers.... Lawlz.

the hulking run also works with the 330 vengeful spirit bond rit build, but you may have some trouble dealing with the bosses.

The Warrior boss is easy, but the Elementalist boss takes a bit longer since you have to move out of the Ward, get out of Eruption and it's a boss in HM so skill recharge is halved. It takes especially longer when you've got Blind on you...

Really...i've always had more trouble with the warrior boss then the ele boss coz of his heal sig. Could we be talking about different builds? haha

The treasure chests are great but they do not reset every 30 days. The reset seems to be tied to some weird formula noone knows or is random. They seem to reset more often for nightfall characters. One of my NF characters has had about 4 rounds of them but one of my treasure chest farming tyrian characters has still not reset after 4 months. You definitely ant to give them a try and should open all you have access too.
