Skillpoints to money

I have about 100 skillpoints I don't need on my Warrior. I do need cash, so I want to know what's the best way to use them to make cash. The only way I know is craft and sell consumables, but I want to know which consumable in particular would yield the most cash for the least effort for the same amount of skillpoints. If there is any other way to turn skillpoints into plat that's better, please let me know. Of course any required investment other than skillpoints (such as price of raw mats) would have to be deducted from the profit, since it's the net profit I'm interested in.

Include all factors (cost of raw materials, difficulty of crafting/otherwise spending, speed of conversion, and ease of sale of final product).

I own all 4 campaigns with all places unlocked. I can craft consumables of any GWEN race.

The Powerstone and the Perfect Salvage kits seam to sell the best but the powerstone cost the most to craft and the materials can take time to farm.

If you really want to make money off of your skill points your going to spend a lot of time farming the crafting materials for the consumables and lots of time sitting in towns trying to sell them.

Be aware, though: everyone has a surplus of skill points, so it's unlikely that you'll be able to actually market those...

Yeah, like I have 400+ skill points on my ele alone. The only people you'll be able to sell and make a profit to will be people without GW:EN.

Or the people without the requisite title ranks.

Or the people who cannot be bothered crafting it themselves.

Personally I use to sell PSK for 1.5k each back in the day, but now the market is flooded with them, and there's basically no point in trying to sell them. You even see quite alot of people selling them off for 1k now, which offers approximately 100g profit (425 (iron @ approx 170x2.5)+ 250 (Wood @ 100x2.5)+250 (crafting)= 925g). Ofcourse you can try to sell for more.

I'd consider maybe investing in PSK (if you buy materials cheap enough), Armor of Salvation and Essence of Clarity. Grail of Might is quite nice (as is Powerstone) but then your looking at quite high crafting cost (kind of)...

Well the most obvious solution would be to use some of those 100 skill points to obtain skills that would let you use the character as a farmer. Just my .02

There are more than a few people that use massive amounts of consumables for farming and vanquishing. I know of one friend that has spend around 200 skill points on consumables and had to start transfering skillpoints from his storage chars to make more.

I wouldn't bother actually "farming" for the required materials. It's not worth the time. You'd be better off farming for something more valuable and usuing the money to buy the materials.
