It took me 3 months to get a full set of obsidian armor for me, but then again I don't have that much time on my hands. If you don't want to sell anything to other people, I would recommend you ecto/shard farm. Break up the tedium doing a few dungeons in Eye of the North if you've got the expansion. There's always the chance a hidden treasure or dungeon chest will drop a gemstone.

Powertrading is also a good option, got a couple of friends that had been powertrading for a week, and raised 900k +xx ectos, with only 100k and a few items to start with.
But in general I would also say, farm the globs and obbies for yourself, for ele there are solo builds for fow and uw, and offcourse the W/Rt or W/Me UW-farm for warrior.

Now you can still do the same if you know Hero FFF. You get more for one run of the quest alone than you do for selling the scrolls (which each take at least 3 runs to get). There are much more efficient farming methods than that... sorry.
Admittedly others might not be quite so effortless...

It wont get you a full set , But do the 'Hidden Treasures' around Nightfall on all your chars. You get around 20k + Golds which you can sell Un-Id for 1k Each. You can also get Diamonds, Rubys etc. If you have 10 chars thats around 200k.
And they reset every month or so.

That is 80% of the reason I do it, the other 20% being so my characters can get their PvE skills.

When there's favor do UW or FoW, when there isn't do something else from the new solo build list or open Dungeon chests.

You'll notice that the list was created a month ago and is still updated regularly. Since you don't want to spam wts you can filter out builds things like "Farming Elementalist Sword" pretty quickly so that'll slim down your options. Of the top of my head I'd say that farming Hulkings fits all your criteria and has multiple builds for W and E.

Also note that the build list is a sticky.

Rare crafting materials are exempt from loot scaling. It was stated in the update the day after HM came out

Power merchanting is probably the most efficient way to get rich. However, you have to have at least mediocre knowledge of the the market system and how it works, and have to have at least some basic resources to start with. Another problem is you might end up losing money. So unless you have a good grasp of the items (what people want, how they want it, and its general price and worth), you probably want to put this off since it takes a while to learn it (relatively speaking). Another thing, if you want to learn how to power merchant, it's best if you learn from someone who has done this for a while. I guess someone COULD write a guide for power merchanting, but a lot of it comes from experience. When you farm or run, you can ask for a build and probably find someone who you can watch doing it in action. However, with power merchanting, every case is unique.
Speaking of which, someone probably should write at least a basic outline of power merchanting. Most people don't even know what it is.

In my opinion, power trading is the fastest way.
I started with mini palawa joko and in 2 weeks i ended up with 100k+140e.
Thats how I got my FoW

Someone needs to rewrite the guide really. Most people have no idea what it is and thinks the only way to get money is by farming or running, which is rather sad :/

I know what power trading is, I just get bored as hell.
Once upon a time, I got a 15^50 inscription. I found a fool who would buy this 15^50 inscription for 10k, with that 10k, I used 7 of it for a shield handle +30 hp. I sold the shield handle for 15k, and bought a 20/20 sword hilt for another 15k. I sold that for 25k. And on and on.
After that I bought some ectos from this one guy for 3k a piece, I had gotten about 6-7 of them. Ecto prices were 6k each, so that's about ~20k profit.
After that night I was 60k richer.

AND, where do you buy? forums? in game? both? yarr.. I tried power trading but no one buys my stuff... I try selling 4x shield handle for 10k each (got for 6k each) and like 2x +30 hp sword hilt for like 15k (got for like 8k?) so ya... begenner guide would be awesome! (I have like 200k+ in my bank too...)

One time i got a perfect req 9 stormbow for only 40k, about 10 minutes later sold it for 100k+20e, you just have to be patient and lucky. I used to do that alot and made a ton of gold, but now that most of the things went down so much in price i really dont do it anymore.

If you want your armor fast there is only 1 thing i would recomand go 55 at gates of kryta (hm), outside droknar the toundra giants (hm) and doe the uw/fow solo thingies with a ele and war! and what Al 0.o said wasnt a bad idea eihter with the treasure chest's. yust flip your brain to zero and farm but remember dont stay farming at the same spot but switch a bit or you wil get bored fast xD GL with getting your obby armor

On the topic of powertrading

Why the hell do people look specifically for non-inscribable weapons and pay more for them than identical ones with an inscription slot? Is there a reason for this apart to show it doesnt come from GWEN or NF, seeing as the inscribable ones have more modding capabilities and variation possibilities for a relatively minor additional cost (seeing as inscriptions go for between 500g and maybe 6K)

Maybe it's because the non-inscribable weps are rarer?

If ur gonna run this is definetly the way. Droks runs definatly are not worth time now. 2k a run. 5 ppl. 10k~30-45min(depending on how lucky u r with ppl.)

But with missions, i set up scheldules with clients and run missions that take like 15-25min for 15k. Never have to worry about spamming in chatto get ppl.
Running all kinds of mission across Factions and Nightfall(barely in Tyria) i make usually around 30-40k per hour. How muchs obby these days? 600k? 800k?
Thats like 20 hours runing maybe? Run an hour a day(not bad at all) maybe 2 hours on saturday and sunday and you got urslef a set of fissy armor in 2-3 weeks. Pas mal, pas mal
