I loved it man! I bet it took alot of time and effort. I really appreciate you putting out an up to date gold farming guide! I also love how you explain how we can make to most out of our farm. Thank you! Cant wait to get home today and try these out!

Thank you for your effort to show us good ways to get gold

I cannot express how much i would appreciate a fractal farm guide

Pls fractal farms pls

Fractal farming you say? hmmm... I think I might know a guy :)

That's very flattering. There's definitely much better editors out there than me, but I figure if I'm going to make something I might as well make it of an acceptable quality.

@@abree107 whole assing one thing is always admirable.

Glad to hear it. I did some time in Craglorn I know how it gets. Luckily there's a good variety of farms in this game that give decent gold and they all involve actually killing stuff. Lots of passive gold out there once you learn how to use everything you get.

Full armor, weapons, and trinkets with the rings infused and attuned gives you enough slots to reach the maximum AR needed for fractals, if you infuse all the slots with +9s. Edit: Fractal farming and Daily fractals, which is what 99.99% of people mean when they say "fractals" are 2 completely different things.

This. Nobody says anything about pvp, after evey game you get 15s or 30s, every point towards main chest in ranked gives 1.5g and end point gives 20g not to mention reward track mats you get and also you can sell shards of glory for around 4-5g a stack if you dont want to make any ascened or legendary pvp armor. Even if you see yourself as bad in pvp you just make a tanky build for class you like, like staff well necro and just place aoe on points buffing and debufing. Make your own fun builds to troll people and earn nice raw gold by doing it.

I'll think about that in the future. The important thing to note is not everyone will process stuff the same, because different things are more important to different people. There's also the time-efficiency of the processing to consider. A decent profit at a quick speed is better than a maximum profit at slow speed for me, but maybe not for you.

@@abree107 yeah! I think as a new player my self, I went on-farm but just don't know what to do with the loots other than right-click and see if I can sell it on TP

@@fallbrumbyg426 Hoarding mats, refining raw ones, using them in crafting recipes, and only listing as a last resort is the idea.

@@abree107 what's the best way/site to figure out what to craft with your raw materials to get the most profit?

@@fallbrumbyg426 That's the question, isn't it? There's tons of different options with different profits, velocity, and risk, all of which constantly change. Most people use crafting calculators on GW2Efficiency.com or GW2BLTC.com, or make a spreadsheet.

Guild Wars 2 is just small enough for those sorts of things to happen. Sorry you're featured on medium graphics lol

Leviathan Farming is the most consistent farm for EoD right now, but there's no telling when it will stop being worthwhile. Either ArenaNet can change things or the Chunk of Ancient Ambergris price will drop too low for it to be worth doing. If you're looking for a good time, I'd recommend the Dragon's End meta. A lot of people enjoy that one. There's a couple lovely commanders for it in the Overflow Trading Company Discord that give directions and help you through your first time. If you're able to make it to one of the pre-reset runs and join voice chat I'd suggest that, but Dragon's End is more of a daily thing. Weirdly enough the only repeatable farm we got with EoD was an unintended one...

I assume you mean for Drizzlewood Coast? That occurs automatically on that map, since the theme is WvW-esc.

@@abree107 ahh I thought there was an add on for the overworld map. thanks

@@Senayoshy GW2TacO is the closest thing that would do something like that. It has a lot of functionality with map completion, node farming routes, achievement markers etc. But it doesn't do anything like splitting the map.

Anything you will need for crafting in the future should be saved. The tax on the trading post can lead to brutal losses if you sell a material and then buy it back later. If you end up with stacks and stacks of mithril, it's probably not worth hoarding it all when you only need a small handful to keep up with daily mithrillium crafting and drizzlewood coast donations. On the other hand, ectos are something I'd not advise you to sell on the trading post. They have a lot of uses for end-game goals and it will cost a lot for you to buy them back in the future if you need them. If you fill up your material storage with ectos, I'd personally recommend pulling the stack(s) out and either putting them in your bank or on an alt character that you don't play and can use to store stuff. If you end up collecting a large amount of them (10 stacks?) and would rather have the gold, that's when I'd look into player-to-player trading. Getting 2g/stack more might not seem like a lot, but if you do it with 10 stacks then you're getting 20g more and that's an hour's worth of farming saved for significantly less than an hour in time spent. Batching tasks like that is just as good of a strategy to maximize the value of your time in-game as it is when you're doing something like multiple loads of laundry at once in real life. In most cases, doing things in larger quantities will save you time and make them more efficient. There's obviously storage considerations you'd have to make when deciding what's worth the hassle and what isn't. If you really want to maximize profit, one of the best things you can do is figure out what kinds of materials you get in large quantities and find profitable crafting recipes that you can make with them. Refining is a good fallback for many raw materials, but if you can find something even further to spend your materials on, you'll make more. If you're getting darksteel ingots from Drizzlewood Coast, use those to make deldrimor steel ingots instead of just selling them as is. If you're getting +1 agony infusions from fractals and can make a bit more if you convert them to +9 infusions first, do it. Generation 1 & 3 legendaries are popular ways to sink materials and currencies that you farm for a higher profit. They require a lot of different materials, so there's a lot of potential opportunities to save gold by farming them yourself and then increase your profit when you finish the legendary and sell it. Recipes and their profit margins change, so you do need to make sure you check prices occasionally instead of just blindly repeating the same thing over and over again, but if you can find a few options for each material, you can increase your yield by 10-20% fairly easily.

@@abree107 Thank you so much for this. I was reading around and this video and your response has been the most extensive by far. I'm having a blast farming around, which usually never happens in most MMO's these days. Keep up the content! Thanks again!

Do you need to use a waystation each time?

@@SerHaunted The waystation isn't really necessary, but the special action ability you can buy from it can help with tagging mobs. Clicking on the blue circles for territory you've taken is how you airdrop to different places. I did neglect to mention in the video that you need to be on the ground and out of combat to do so. It didn't used to be that way, but they changed it.

Good glyphs for tools is always a plus, but also isn't factored into any of the farms as far as profit is concerned.

@@abree107 I just found the amount of volatile magic to be pretty good while doing that farm, so I thought I'd mention it 😁

@cypherdk85 it's a great addition to any farm :)

There's a bit about daily fractals covered in my daily gold makers video. The next fractal video would be more specifically about grinding individual fractals for gold.

Experience from kills unless you're in dire need of karma.

@@abree107 ty man you're the best!

i don't get the part where you recommend buying gems then converting them into gold... everytime i check, i loose like 2/3 of my gold...

Peureki has the best guide I'm aware of for that particular farm and has some data on it on his website. It's not my cup of tea and it requires a lot of character hopping to do efficiently, but if you can do it efficiently then it's fairly decent. You probably will cap out a bit lower than some of the farms specifically covered in this video, but it's a soloable and non-conditional farm. As far as I'm aware it's one of the highest gold per hour repeatable solo farms.

I don't use any third party programs other than arcDPS and overlays like TacO or Blish. To be honest I'm not sure if they even have ReShade for GW2.

The builds out there have definitely changed since I made this video. At the time it was whatever Snowcrows had for Power Soulbeast with Longbow instead of Greatsword. Some people prefer to farm with tankier builds, but I've always been of the opinion that getting used to dodging AOEs and telegraphed attacks is good for you in the long term. I used to main guardian and while I've not played with any of the new weapon options, I can tell you that dragonhunter might be more interesting for you than firebrand. The firebrand description sounds cool, but the animations and the way it feels to play just don't do it for me. Dragonhunter is way more interactive and I'm given to understand that bow is actually good on it again (check reliable build sites like Snowcrows), which would make it decent for tagging mobs in open world farms as well.

Mob farming in LS4 maps with optimized builds and routes can pull 40-60ss per hour with full boosters. Otherwise, fractal farming gives 18-22/hr with empowerments and LS4 trains are probably best for open world with empowerments. I don't really focus specifically on spirit shards because, for overall gold value, it's not the most efficient thing to do.

KZfaq has been spotty with notifications recently for some reason. Silverwastes shovels come from participating in the map, so you don't need to do anything special to get them. As far as being overwhelmed, I'd just ignore the sections about the other maps until you get access to them. The information won't be particularly useful until you're actually going to be farming the maps. All you need to know for those right now is that you'll get more farming options with living world season 4 maps and icebrood saga maps.

@@abree107 thanks alot 🔥 I share this vids to my veterans friend and he show me the way 🔥🔥 this guide really uaefull for lowbiessssss like me

The gold-making in this game can get as simple or complicated as you want to make it. Obviously, the more you put in, the more you'll get out. I certainly wouldn't call anyone dumb for not understanding it all though, as it can get pretty convoluted if you get really into the weeds with it. Prople are definitely used to raw gold from other MMOs, but learning to navigate the value held in materials is how the richest players get the richest in Guild Wars 2. More videos on those concepts in the future...

@@abree107Oh. Thank you for the detailed answer. As you said it's a real complex game and I only reached the 15-20 gold / hour with raw gold input. For a year I almost everytime sold unid gears on instasell on tp when someone said I shouldn't do that. I appreciate your feedback and this video helps me a lot to understand some of my mistakes.

I've played since launch and I've never known how to make money. lol I FINALLY dug into my mat storage recently and looked up videos like this.

I'd love to get around to making a guide for getting into fractals, but I probably won't have it done in in time for you to use it if I'm being honest. Some of the changes they've made have made it difficult to create a 1-size-fits-all guide for it.

Every time you fill your exp bar after that, you get a spirit shard, which is way more valuable than what the other boosts provide.

If you've filled all the available mastery bars, you will gain a spirit shard every 254k experience. The value of spirit shards massively exceeds karma, they're more of a bottleneck for things like legendary crafting than karma is, and they're much harder to get in the quantities you need to do things with them. In almost any case, if you need spirit shards and karma for something (i.e. a legendary), the karma will sort itself out a decent bit quicker than the spirit shards. Another issue is that there's less ways to convert karma by itself into gold effectively. The Wintersday festival is one of the few easy opportunities and it still gives you a very small amount of gold. Finally, and perhaps I should have led with this, boosters don't work on fixed value rewards or consumables. For karma, a significant portion you receive will come from consumable items that give 500, 1000, 2000 etc. This is the case in a lot of the newer maps, but also the case in LS4/dragonfall/fractal farms if you have the karmic retributions. So your karma boosters only affect a minority of the karma you receive. The only real exception is Wintersday. Experience is almost always boostable. Experience from kills, events, and map completion objectives are all subject to be increased by boosters. The only major exceptions are writs of Experience from dailies and bonus xp from the fractal empowerment upgrades, which are both very niche situations. If you're not so concerned with gold and REALLY want a lot of karma for something (maybe if you're a new player and want every mini/tonic purchasable with karma from living world maps, which costs several million karma), you could always run karma bonuses instead. You'll just be trading a significant amount of gold in spirit shards for it over the long haul.

That's a strategy specific to people farming a lot of silverwastes. There's a specific loot bag that can give more value when opened on a lower level character, because you're getting things like iron instead of mithril. If you're not farming a ton of silverwastes, then don't worry about it.

Some solo farms can actually be quite competitive, especially ones that utilize multiple characters like rich nodes and Bitterfrost chests.

@@abree107 I leave my spare toons at pagga's & literally run this path. I do have guidelines I follow though. I limit how far out of the way I go, focus on certain nodes & try to not fight too much. I love the bitterfrost chests though. It also seems to be a decent karma farm.
