Trading. Farming never makes you seriously rich.

Proff
begging in ascalon :P

Got my first set farming ecto. It didn't even require shards back then. Got the rest of my sets through trading- much quicker, even with the cost of the materials being much higher back then. Very easy to make enough for a set in a short space of time if you know what you are doing.

Yup. As Malice said, you can get money from farming to some point, but to get seriously rich, you got to have some lucky drops too. ^^

Back in the day for me - used to make money running people in Tyria. Back when the southern shiverpeaks run was 10k a person (party of 7) for all stops. Running still makes money - but not nearly as much as it used to. Mission escorts for masters and/or in HM can make you some good coin too. But yup, overall trading, looking for deals and being wise about it is the best way.

But, that was before farming got nerfed. Probably not a good bet now.

I always wondered how farming was nerfed. What did Anet do, sow the fields with salt? Always confused me.
Southern Shiverpeak Runs ftw btw. You could make 80 k in an hour. It was awesome. That, or world runs back when they were big. Half a mill in like, 4 hours. Pretty epic. Now I just do Hero FFF when I have the time, working on Legendary Survivor and making money at the same time is win.

Ecto price differential trading.
That was the fastest money I ever made.
Oh you poor bastard Americans, you never knew what hit you

Know when you are wasting your time and when you are not. If you are not making at least 15k an hour in guild wars you are doing something wrong. An Underworld clearing takes around an hour and nets you a guaranteed ecto at the end... not to mention that you normally get a couple dropped to you during the actual clearing.

I guesstimate I've gone into tripe figure millions if you add ecto/braces and items. That is serious rich. A few million in gold and some leets items is just rich, many people have that.
Master Necromanz
OMG! 15K, I'm really confused, because I'm farming with my necro and I don't get 5K an hour.

I found that it's possible to scrounge up the money to get nice/elite armours through a series of vanquishing, (free) chest running, doing missions, salvaging and selling stacks of materials, doing dungeons and farming rank 5 in most of the GW:EN titles. Got myself *counts*...9? Nine elite sets that way or there abouts.

farming can make you rich: first people who farmed the raptor nestling could sell the elemental swords for 100k+
and Malice can't be counted to the majority of the people when it comes to money >.<

As many people have suggested previously, the only way to make a lot of money in GW is trading. Seriously. Powertrading is the way to go. Try it sometime, don't id your golds and sell them to someone unid for more. Keep doing that. Get into HM as soon as possible and started getting those drops that will make your account grow. Don't stick in overfarmed areas farming for Elemental Swords thinking that it will make you rich. Getting that one Eternal Blade will make those five req9 Elemental Swords look like iron ingots.

Meh, if only I had saved up my money for one char than 8. =(
I'm still trying to prove that Z-chests can make you infinitely rich as well.
Otherwise, good luck with trades. Piggies for example, jumped up a whole crapload, so it's pretty relative on what you decide to sell immediately, and what you decide to keep. Piggies made a profit if you kept them, but I lost money keeping my elemental sword. There are booms and busts, just like the real world.

Like many said, trading is the best and maybe the fastest way.
Or you could try farming a hour per day and maybe you'll have your FoW in a month.
Then it means that you have got a bad farming place or/and you take too much time. Since you are a necro, and you want to farm, try *thinks* the Hydras in Skyward Reach or the Stone Hulkings outside Sardela, or the Mantids in Kinya Province. Depending on your luck and how fast you are, you should have around 20k/hour.

Sure ^^, it's the basic 55 necro builds.
OANVQETc4G+0peAS0i5h9g+QeISA : the normal ss build. Use it against Stone Hulkings and Hydras.
For Mantids it's almost the same build except that you replace ss for sv and insidious parasite with dark pact.

On two separate occasions I bought 250k worth of Zaishen keys and rage clicked them all with two guildmates watching to help carry anything if needed (or if I lagged out and couldn't reconnect) that's 500k worth of keys in total, and got absolutely nothing whatsover really, the gold items were nothing to write home about, I got a few elite tomes, the best thing I got was a Q.10 insc. gothic sword which I can't sell.
I just did it for something to do, and to find out whether or not it's actually worth the effort farming balthazar faction to use the keys, and it isn't really... conclusion... if you like Creme brulees, use the zaishen chest.

so like "the way out" sayd sell gold unidentified weps... but isn't it sometimes better to inidentified your weps.? because maybe ther could be a inscription on it.
Rothaga
Most inscriptions dont sell for too much, maybe 1-2k max, and there are ways to check if the weapon has good mods on it. If you equip it, and your health goes up, you know it has a health mod, then it would be better to id, strip and sell, for other mods, you can go to battle isles to check.

Can do ecto stacks, and armbrace stacks
Miss Puddles
i have a set on my necro, one on my mes, and the chest piece on my ranger.
i basically just bought some materials when i had some extra gold. uw/fow get excessively boring for me, so i didn't farm much. just sell stuff taking up space in your storage, buy a couple ectos here and there, and it'll add up pretty soon.
