Money from monsters?

In GW when you fight like lets see a dragon or something does it drop money or anything when you kill it? Also, does it take long to make money?

Monsters either drop cash or things that you can sell for cash when you kill them. It doesn't take very long to amass money, but do you mean, say, "does it take long to get enough gold to buy the guild cape" [1000g] or "does it take long to get enough gold to buy a salvage kit" [100g]. It also depends what area you are in, some areas drop more/better stuff than others. There's also a post on these forums about making money quick, you might want to check that out.

O, ok thanx for the tips. Also, the monsters onyl drop money and items, but what about when you PvP? When you kill someone do they lose ALL they're inventory?

No! You get xp.

in pvp just like in pve if you die, you get a death penalty, which temporarly reduces your health and energy for a period of time.

Once you go back to town your death penalty goes away. If you kill stuff your DP slowly goes away

You do NOT lose any EXP or Items for dying.

The truth is everything is up in the air.... Say you kill a monster you can get something for it.. Let's go Hypathetical Hunting...

That was fun let's do that map again!

Hmm... NO XP this time... Dang... That was not cool no XP.. but I got a cool bow...

Hmm... now i'll do the map again and help a friend....

Okay I know it was the same monster, but I got gold this time... Okay

I want to kill for the fun of it I'll go Solo...

NOTHING, NADA, ZIP, ZERO, ZILCH! What's up with that?

Now except for the XP which you get on the 1st time you do the map and kill that Big Bad Monster you cannot get the same XP for killing the same Big Bad Monster over and over. However, you do get random items and if you are in a team you may not even get them. Example:

So no matter how many times you play, the results can always be different.

You always get experience for killing things, so long as you are not well above them in level(I believe the exp cuts off if you're either 5 or 6 levels above your enemy). Drops are random, so some big dragon may drop nothing, or a pile of gold, whereas a peon you killed on your way to the dragon might drop some great rare item. However, the dragon has the potential to drop better stuff than the peons. The dragon might drop gold, but he could drop a great weapon, or nothing at all- same with every other enemy in the game.

For PvP, nobody drops items, gold, or anything else- the only thing you get for killing other players(and only in PvP areas) is experience. However, if your team makes it to the Hall of Heroes, the top level of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings(tournament-style PvP), each match you win there, a high-level rare item will be rewarded to a random player on your team, so some loot is available through PvP. It's uncertain if more rewards like this are going to be added into the PvP.
