I just came back to Guild Wars , after taking 1 year and a half break.

And before, I could get a Set of FoW in like a month, wth do people do for money now?

Almost every green is only worth 5k , perfect golds that aren't from EOTN are worth less then 80k

, how do people farm gold now to get FoW and other stuff?

Please help a old timer coming back ...

I use my mesmer to do it. She's prettier...

C'mon I'd rather look at a pretty mesmer armor than spiky freaky assassin armor.

Id Have to say the biggest thing atm is perma forming. Get an assassin, deadly paradox, glyph of swiftness(or w/e its called), and shadow form. Then you can insert w/e dmg skills you want after that. It is also a great running build if you use those three skills and the put some runs on after it. I started my assasin two days ago and he is already perma forming and I ran him everywhere in GW:EN.

Thanks to increased quest rewards in EotN I'm getting almost as much from normal play as I used to get from low end farms like vermin or spiders but with much more variety.

Farming nubs in spamadan who don't have a good sense of item prices always works well

I'd tell them ahead of time I was running for tips and not doing the spiders.... And what happens when we go past the spiders? "WTFNUBLOLNOTIP!"

I'm just glad others were generous. :'3

Yeah, running can be a pain, that's why Irun mostly guildmates now. Saves you the pain, lets you have some laughs, make some dough and know your guildmates better.

Anyways, I'd rather deal with a 13 year old trying to troll than a 1k entrance fee just to get touched to death.

only a few items are worth a lot now like crystaline/eternal blade etc...
and even those aren't worth as much as they used to be.

No nerfs can screw this farm.

What do you need gold for? Fancy armor/weapon skins?

4. ???

That was indeed a very silly question.

Well, since the Shadow Form buff I started to farm UW more with my assassin (I did it with A/Me before), and that made(makes) very nice amount of cash, it netted me my first FoW set and other stuff. Of course trading would make cash better, but myself I'm kinda lazy to keep known what some items are worth.

Make money, wow, good one. Farming hekets in HM might work. I don't really need much cash so I usually just AB. Get zaishen keys AND amber now so meh.

Anyways, whatever you do, it will always start with hard mode.
