So with the whole permasin craze, I've been wondering how other people make their money.
I used to powertrade minipets, and made the most money I've ever had out of that, but about a month back I stopped.
I did the whole "Chaos Planes farm" but that got boring, plus with favor nearly gone there's no chance I'll be going back to that anytime soon.
I didn't put this in the Farming section, because you can get money in other ways.
So, what about you guys?
How do YOU make money?

I love to farm, it allows me to buy the things that I need to build up my heroes and characters, and at the end, perhaps have a bit of money left over.
Tamashii
I go clear dungeons. Just kinda wander around picking up some decent stuff, and hoping on great chest drops at the end. 
Nightow
CoF runs on my ritualist but that was until I picked up my obby armor and thank god before the whole QQ fiasco over healing the smiter just a tad. Then I moved onto perma sin farming, DoA and FoW runs helped too. Now I have 2 armbraces waiting to be sold for that big HoM update.
What I'm going to spend it all on, I have no idea. xD
Maybe work on my lucky title a bit this weekend. (150k away from rank 4)

I bought UW-scrolls with everything I got 2 weeks ago and will make a fortune with them next week. On top I will sell all ecto's that I farmed as soon as they hit 5K again.

I do the following:
- Random dungeon
- Protector of... right now only Elona left
- Fast farm in ToPK
- PEWPEWPEW Quake Wars: Enemy Territory and ignore cash going under 200k.
- Wail because my tonsils were cut out, one was really really infested and now it hurts as hell. I miss eating a large pizza in 15 minutes ;[
- eBay. Uhm. I mean... I am Rudy Giuliani, do as I command you... I AM RUDY GIULIANI, DO AS I COMMEND YOU!

Ok I farmed with perma-sin, but if it's nerfed (lawl) I'll go back to the W/Rt, to DOA, doing dungeons, mass-killing raptors, TOPK... that's how I made my cash before, and how I'll make my cash after

The Red Messenger
I blackmail the henchies into giving me all their drops
MithranArkanere
I kill things and then pick what they drop.
Then I sell the stuff to merchants and traders.
I'd like to sell to other players too, but I don't have the luxury of time for that, so I'm still waiting for a Xunlai Market.
(Did I say Xunlai Market today jet? No? "Xunlai Market", then)

I go thru the jungle area of prophecies with just my character and a monk---the drops are better there and I let the healing monk do all the killing (hey its fun to watch 
).....if I need a quick amount I will do the free treasures in nf....
other wise I do quests and dungeons ......grinding away slowly. I never have had a great amount of cash....I think the most I have had at one time was enough to buy 2 pieces of elite armor....or maybe 3.

Selling ZKeys is good money.
Akroma Angel NL
running chests and power trade 
Vehemence
I am not rich in GW. I just got most of my money to buy necessary equipments from selling Z-Key. I only farm Zaishen Elite 6k Faction per day using trapper since it only take like 15 minutes. Thats all since I dun have much time >< .
Calista Blackblood
kurzick HFFF without paying leechers, vanquishing and general title hunting.i do very little farming these days and can rack up 100k+ pretty easily
KoleAurow 23
I used to farm chaos planes and power sell polymock pieces, which was surprisingly succesful...
But I got tired of PvE completely and now I AB/Zaishen Elite/HA(HoH) and sell my z keys...I only get about 25k a day on a good day, but I enjoy making some cash PvPing.

For earning money...here's a list of things I do:
FoW/UW Runs...I have 3 ursan chars and a really sick HB monk...they come in handy.
Running...I can do every run in every game, including most NM missions and some HM missions. Over the past few months, I've built a network of friends who like to make use of my services, and they are extremely rich.
Farming ... I farm greens, tomes, golds...been doin that since a while now. I farmed a stack of ecto in about 3 weeks after the SF buff..then I got bored.
Powertrading...buy low sell high..never fails. For instance, I purchased 100k worth of UW scrolls 2 weeks ago, foreseeing the current lack of UW scroll availability. Making a KILLING in the market right now.
Dungeon books...filling out HM Dungeon books is fun, you get sexy golds from Dungeon chests, not to mention around 4-5k just from the crap whites and blues you merch.

Daily fow clearouts (just to relax),
Paying for CoF runs (more relaxed time killing),
Doing UW with friends or pugs,
And the rest is mainly by playing the game..
Getting rich in a game is dumb, no point in farming forever or hoarding mass ectos.
My 2 cents.

General play (HM missions, etc) and occasionally selling old non-insc weps gets me more than enough now that I have all the armor/weps I need.
Tender Wolf
I somehow managed to get a black dye drop today, so that was an extra 6k in my pocket. 
hehe
Seriously though, usually I do the Kaineng quests over and over for the imperial commondations. Same with Kournan and Vabbian quests. For the imperial commondations and Kournan coins, I trade them in for superior salvage kits and sell them to weaponsmiths and get 1k each. It adds up pretty fast. and of course trade contracts are used to get and sell rubies.
The rest of the time I sell all materials and stuff I don't need such as weapons I ID and pick up while farming rep points, etc. The resetting treasures from Nightfall don't hurt either.

Even though I made a sin, I skipped the hype and made him a mule instead. I kept on duo farming with my real life friends instead.
- Stocking up farmed ectos, I'll see what comes out of it.
- invested in some UW scrolls a few weeks ago.
- farming zaishen elite on a few accounts to get some z-keys, as well as gambling in xunlai tournament predictions with those accounts.
- Sold a high end item I had laying around in my storage for some years.
- farming gems in DoA. There might be an increase in the price of armbraces when the HoM update arrives.
- farming materials needed for consets.

Everything gets identified and sold to the merchant... even gold items.
Green items are a different story.

I bought 40 of them myself when they were at 1.7k and I'm feeling a little red in the face . Give it a few weeks and see what happens when the favor gets back down to zero.OT: In the meantime, I have been soloing areas for materials, salvaging everything and converting them into rare materials for trading to players or even the merchant.
Kanyatta
Bought ecto as much ecto as I could afford at 3.1k yesterday, and resold at 4.5k today. Made a solid 10k.
Usually, ZKeys is my only source of income. I don't get shit in PvE anymore.

Tender Care
Solo farming with my dervish where i can, farming with my sin SF in UW and Furnance of Sorrow and Grenth's Footprint, z-keys which i use hoping to get decent staff (thing that never happened XD), running peeps when i was really in need of money, farming FoW/UW with Ursan.
Selling stuff at ridiculous prices!!!!! i'm actually too lazy to stand in Kamadan trying to sell a perfect Ghostly Staff fire magic at his real price cos noone will buy it...so i sell valuable things at a very low price and i make money faster!

I don't need any more money, because i already have everything i want.
Operative 14
If I'm looking for cash, I do a bit of Gates of Kryta (About 1.3k and 12 or so Orr Emblems for holidays), HM Kilroy Stonekins Punchout (~1.8k if you identify all the whites, plus the occassional lockpick and nice gold) And also Z-key farming using the Zaishen training and the monthly tournament rewards.

But to answer the question.... I farm luxon 'sins (Halcyon Job) and CoF if I feel the need for some mulah.
Lady Raenef
No idea. I did Perma-Sin in the UW when I heard about it four days ago, but it's nerfed now. So, back to nothing again. Overtime, it just accumulates. I don't actually go out to get money.

Anyway I just HFFF, it's decent money, nothing fancy but you can work on a title at the same time.
Also HM hero hand books are a decent income while maxing the rep titles.
Omnidragon42
I run, farm excessively, and kill stuff =)
