farm, or run people from place to place
NeoDias
you also can purchase gold
AncientPC
3 (well maybe 4) ways to get rich:
1) Farm with a good solo PvE
2) Run
3) Trade
4) Buy GW money with real money

just do missions over and over like the missions in the ring of fire island chain.
since you're an ele, u really cant run as well as other ppl. so farm perhaps

1) Fight in small groups or solo. Each player (or henchman!) takes one share of the loot. So if you fight solo, you will get significantly more loot than you normally would. (Expert) salvage anything worth less than about 30-50 gold, sell everything else unless you think you might be able to sell it. Since you're an ele, your best bet for solo/smallgroup fighting is probably loading up on earth protections, minding a mob and nuking it.
2) If you like PvP, give the hall of heroes a try. If you get with a good group and win, celestial sigils run for ~30k a piece (you get them sometimes for winning) Get yourself teamspeak, and just join a group, do what they tell you, and hope for the best.
3) Start a warrior. SO easy to make money as warrior, even low level. Just solo everything in the ascalon area and salvage or sell what you find. I made 5000g with my warrior before I hit Yak's bend.

I too have had problems accumulating moola despite plenty of farming runs, etc. The problem with farming is even if you do find some decent items, you still have to sell them and typically this can take forever and you end up just cutting the price just to get rid of them.
Recently I have decided that materials are the way to go, I'm keeping an eye on trader's prices in between runs, trying to get a feel for what time would be best to sell. I just use expert salvage on any basic stuff I find, which can you lots of normal materials or some rare ones like steel and leather squares. For example I got 32 iron from 1 staff yesterday, when I have a nice pile of 250 I cant stack them in one space anymore so I offload them onto a material trader at maybe 100g for 10, thats 2500 straight off, plus I'm sitting on a good bit of steel which is worth even more. I have only just started off with this, but already I'm feeling much more confident doing this than trying to sell gold and purple items in vain, especially as now everyone wants green items instead.
Hope it helps

there are several options to getting money in this game that dont involve you buying money.
1) join small farming group
2) join group going to FoW or UW (ecto and shards going for a good price atm)
3) Best way is to salvage almsot everything and sel lthe materials to the trader when u see a good price
4) happen to get lucky and find a godly weapon or shield or staff to sell (razorstone from sorrows furnace currently sells for like 150k or near it)

Take a look at this thread. I get 2k+ every time I play 1-2 hours casually ever night because of it (casual in this sence is playing missions and quests and not actively farming).
And it doesn't really matter where you are in the game.

yea use a worror/monk so you can heal yourself, and then go out to ascolon solo and just get money. i have 4 characters and have someweree around 9K. its not a lot but i made most of it this weekend with the new worror i made. im not saying farm cause i did the little quests solo as i made the money and got my exp.but if thats what u want to do there is always that option
Pevil Lihatuh
not to mention buying gw gold is against the EULA as far as I'm aware...
anyhoo, basically find yourself a place where your character can happily kill things easily whilst getting good drops, and spend an hour or so there every day. It'll soon mount up. And if you're really desperate, spend a lot of time there every day!

Are the prices the NPC material traders buy/sell based on PCs buy/selling to them?
nicky nightmare
another good thing that i havent seen mentioned here is to save and buy only the bare necessities until you have the desired amount.... then go buy what it is you want......

the prices will vary.example
fur squares can go from about 180g to 240g each.
if it is below 210-220g i put it in storage and check each time i go past the trader to see what the price is.
i may wait a week or more but when it hits at least 210g i sell until the price drops.
same for parchment which i hold until at least 70g each (5 wood+20g to craft)

Sweet!
Thanks
I have not payed attention to the prices thinking they were set.

You could wait for the price to go up, or sell the rare materials to players, I dont have a problem selling parchment to players at 100g each. Its better than waiting for the merchant to buy for 70, and if you are willing to sell for 70 then sell it to a player. Just my 2 cents.
So far patience with keys and the new chests has been a good source of money for me. I do missions and buy the appropriate keys (usually 3 keys for that mission area), I have opened 3 very nice runes and some good weaponry that I sold for quite a nice amount of money. But you do have to be patient as most chest drops are terrible.

note that collector Sedgewick gives a fur square for 4 char hides.Pikin Square to the Deseda Lowlands zone and return after it resets is usually good for several fur squares (usually good for 1-3 plat/hour) plus whatever blues/purples you get.
bring a couple regular salvage kits for the cheap stuff like bows for wood etc. to make inventory room.
save the char carvings for wood to turn into parchment (5 wood+20g) from the crafter outside Sardelac Sanitarium

GW stats:
50% of players have less than 10k
75% of players have less than 20k
guess I'm one of the wealthy

Since you are an ele, I would suggest that you become an Ele/Me if you are not one already, and go with a monk or two to the UW and do 2 or 3 man farming, by doing this you should find ectos which are worth about 12k right now. And 12k per ecto aint bad

Farming in SF is good
if you do not have green drops, at least you will get around 1-2K money drop with a 5 man gp

Do your farming quick though, Anet will nerf every spot into oblivion.
