Patience. Just play through the game, buy only what you need, and just save. It takes time but it works.

Hmm, how interesting... Is that available for warriors, as the OP suggests, or is it open to all classes? And do I need to play WOW specifically, or can I play any other game to make money in Guild Wars?

I like this idea! Need more details, though...

this old man finds this advice to be one of the best given on this thread so far. My first character has been a warrior and I have had him for 2 years now. At first it was hard to get money or even break 10K. But now he helps fund my other characters.

When I first started to gain money on my war,it was running. You could also farm the beach in fow for shards and just sell them. This is not all easy,but then again,its not all that hard. I use to use this build for farming fow:

I seem to be in the same boat as Crim... my war was my 1st char, was and still is my favorite, I have played for nearly 2 years now. As I played through the game money was tight at 1st, can still remember how elated I was to get my elite platemail armor. Now my warrior is my title chaser, vanquisher, chest runner, dungeon runner and by far main bread winner (and I use a 600 monk to farm with), he has completely filled a HoM for me and allowed me to purchase very large chunks of sweet tooth, party and booze titles. I am not wealthy by the standards of many on these boards but I want for nothing and always have a few hundred k in the bank. Be patient, it'll come. I wouldn't trade my warrior for anything

Well you progressed farther than I have I will say. I never bought the elite platemail armour because I saw no point in it. I am not much of a title chaser either. So far I actually only beaten Factions and that is with him. I have a tendency of leaving things incomplete. But now Im pushing for hard mode in everything.

I'm with Zeff. Love my warrior. She will be 3 next month, has 13 maxed titles to date, makes me at least 25k a week. Like Zeff, I'm not super rich, but keep about 250k so I feel well off.

It wasn't quick because I don't farm, Xunlai points didn't exist, dungeons didn't exist, hard mode didn't exist even. But I would set a comfort level goal - maybe 20k- and work at it until I reached that point. Then set the next comfort level goal.

If you don't have HM, an easy farm for a warrior is Old Ascalon Hulking Elementals for granite.

There are quite a few viable builds for Warrior for farming UW and FoW. They can be somewhat costly to buy skills and equipment for, but they'll make you a profit rather quickly.

Alternately, playing through the game makes more money than you'd think if you haven't done this already. Pick up everything, ID everything, merch what can't be sold to players. A regular Vanquish of decent size, 160-200 foes, can make you around 4-5k for just playing the game.

Don't be tempted to buy every pretty skin you see.

Predictions are also nice $$ too.

YOU! We were on 8 wins and then you leave because there was 'too much blocking' with 30 seconds left when we already had 2 kills, wasting all the effort i put into healing you...

Anyways on topic i just sell zkeys, made alot of money on snowmen dungeon though (hello chaos gloves)

250k is not rich. 16k Is just to poor. However, when you first start to play the game, the pride you attain when you rich the goal set is o so sweet! Even if that is only a few k

More on topic, play through the game, Pick all items up, ID merch. Before long you will have comfortable amount of cash sitting on your character.

I never even got 250K with all my gold combined combined with my other characters I only have 54K.

And on topic, Monkin here gives very good advice. Pick up everything because every little gold counts. But I wouldnt sell craft materials right away until you have them fully stocked in your storage because you never know when your going to need them.

What can I say, Crim. I did it slowly, day by day. Always get the rare drop after it's no longer worth more than 5k. Get bored after 5 mins. of WTS xx.

But if a player can manage to save 10k per month, then I am behind. I should have 350k just from Darcy, never mind the other 7 characters.

It's the spending that does you in. One of Darcy's titles is Legendary Skill Hunter, not cheap to obtain.

easiest way to make money now, is prediction as everybody said, u win an average of 100k per month and that free without a single effort (well logging in is and pick ur predictions).
I have 10 pve chars (1 for each profesion).

How I made the money to equip almost every single char that I have...easy...farming during events...and the best thing is that u can farm ANYTHING during those events..
the sell.

Now Im making money with my war, without farming, only Vanquishig cause Im hunting Titles, and Vanq is one that I need. During wintersday I made a few hundreds of K selling Alcohol (party points and sweeths are for me now :P).

Well my war has 3 years, is my sencond char but he is my title hunter :P, he was my money maker at the beggining (before I made my monk and ele). Now he does some work, farming ectos (W/Me echo Whirling attack), and Obby shards some times.

Zkeys are a nice way of doing it. A cool way to kill two birds with one stone is by PvPing in one of the places in Factions like Jade Quarry. That way you can help your guild and earn Balthazar points

Its not easy getting a good team to pvp (HA, GVG) with and if you make 80k a week from RA/AB casually playing I commend you. Assuming you get 160-260 per win (~200), thats like doing 400 RA battles in a week (assuming you win everyone of course which this number could easily be 500+).

I personally do not believe 70+ RA battles a day as casually playing.

I don't recommend farming uw/fow as they are not very effective. For a beginner they can easily drain your money paying the 1k entrance fee each time and having to wait for favor.

I do recommend you beat Elona and hit up the Free no key required treasure chests. If it is your first time you will make about ~10 gold items and 25k gold. You can get it every month but after about 3-4 months you will get nothing but purples and about ~10k gold.

Also, XTH of course is recommended. Running dungeons can make quite a profit. SoO for advanced players, Ooze pit / Cathedral of Flames for casual players.

EDIT: running dungeons is for monks not so much for warriors. You can easily create and have a monk set up to run dungeons in a few hours (start in factions get to Kaineng, Run to Gunnars Dwarven box, run to dungeon town of your choice and begin)

Vengeful was Khanhei UW farming I guess is one of the few farms that warriors can do probably. I like to farm Hulking Stone Elementals on HM or Raptors on HM myself

You don't have to RA/HA/GvG to get Zaishen Keys. Zaishen Challenge gives 6k Balthazar Faction a day. That's about at least 4.5k each day. If that's still not enough, you might be spending too much.

For me, I do some solo UW farming, find those keyless chests in Nightfall, do tournament predictions to get some zkeys. Also do some ABing in JQ to get enough points to trade in for keys.

Well, they might fail for farming, but they pretty much OWN The BattleField What Would parties do without someone to bash at enemies and take their health? To stand in the frontline of battle, To have massive attack Pwnage Im sorry But Im F*ckin Proud for choosing a warrior WARRIORS FTW!!!
