12 Minutes A Day Gets You "Rich" in GW2 - A Guild Wars 2 Gold Guide

Dont forget to buy some boxes for all those tyrian seals c:

I don't get why people are so obsessed with farming gold, if you just go for gold you are basically working for what swipers get from just swiping. Just enjoy the content you like and let gold accumulate. These dailies help a lot but add chores so I only do them when i feel like it.

What would you need gold for anyway, you're essentially maxed out in terms of stats after a few dozen hours anyway, and all the actually good looking stuff is locked away in the gemstore anyway, so why bother.

Actually ... imho ... i find DR home faster then Metrica home... considering using speed boosters and the use of skills as like a mesmers porting or a Rangers jumping...

Haven't even really spend volatile magic anything and after 13 years i have like 50k :D

Some of the dailies and weeklies can be done pretty quickly right where you are, pvp lobby...

I've been putting alt parking to good use; in addition to the 3 IBS chests you mentioned here, I've got a trio of characters in Echovald Wilds to farm Jade Runestones; between those and one at the Kaineng JP, it's a minimum of 5 runestones per day. One character nabs 2 chests thanks to a Prototype Position Rewinder

May have to consider setting up some for those SotO chests, though...never thought of that one!

Thank you, Mukluk. 10 years in less than 10 minutes, you're Welcome' hehe

For vision please turn all ice shards into kralkatoric ore as you'll need 3000 to create 300 ingots to create 6 astral weapons for one of the steps.

didn't know the gathering tool 'cosmetic' could influence the time it took to gather, neat

Short Question: How do i get into guild that stay lv.1/2/3/4 and so on? Can you invite me :D ?

I wonder how fast Glyph of Volatility would return on value. I see that it costs around 300g now, so that seems like a steep price.

I am both-parts grateful and triggered about the guide while the latter is about the pronunciation of 'archipelago' 🤣

Another thing that can be added for people looking to craft the legendary runes and sigils - visiting the provisioner vendors in Lion's Arch and Black Citadel for the easy provisioner tokens. Getting 2 a day takes a while to get all the ones you'll need, but it'll take a while to get the rest of the materials for them anyway. I've also been using the new daily system as a good excuse to regularly go into WvW for the Gift of Battle reward track (instead of sporadically remembering I should go participate there), which also helps.

The real reason we end up with a lot of gold is that everything gives some gold in the game, and we play it... too much.

This is incredibly helpful. Im on a university course and a 12 hour shift job i NEVER have time to play sadly. Thanks muk! This is why u get my amazon twitch subscriptions :)

How to get rich in 12 min with thousands of hours of preparation XD

If you have more alts to park after the ones Muk suggested, the Jumping Puzzle chest in Draconis Mons always gives at least 1 rare ( good for ectos) + unid gear, Fire Orchids and Unbound magic ( good for ascended accessories from Living World Season 3 or to get cheap Obsidian Shards), some gemstones. Every few days, you get the Daily achievement for getting Fire Orchids which contains karma, Heart of Maguuma Mastery XP, Orchids and Unbound Magic. There's always a Commander there in the LFG that you can Teleport to a Friend on.

Also use a Herald to do your full home farming not only will you give yourself swiftness to run it faster, you give yourself quickness which makes doing the nodes faster as well.

People. If you´r gonna exchange the volatile magic for trophy shipments pls go to the one on Ember Bay which is 40 silver each instead of 1g. U´l save some gold that way n.n

are you making a joke or do you not actually know that the "j" in Kjap's name is pronounced as a y?

I guess it's time to make spare alts that I will park at chests... That's what I'll waste the lvl80 booster on that has been taking up my shared slot for a couple months now. What class/build is best for this? Quick chrono for quick+portal, quick scrapper for quick+super speed+stealth?

The trick is making passive income.. You can make a ton of money if you put it as your goal, but it quickly become a chore.. And once you spend it, it doesn't come back unless you make the effort. It's what I liked about WoW's gold, you could build that shit up by just playing.. Unless you know the tricks in gw2 you stay broke or buy gold.

For alt parking the skipping stones jp in southsun, can use 1 toon for bjora marches and griffin skyscale the other spots, 1 in new kaineng jp for jade runstone, can park at the other jade runstone spots but i find its just as easy to take ur main there, all other toons park them at rich nodes of ur choice. Also can park one in verdant brink at the faction provisoner for tokens if you plan on needing them if not park a toon somewhere else lol

Do what works for you and is for ur playstyle. Set goals and personal rules and move the goalposts as you get closer to ur goal. Like for me a personal rule i have for material storage is once they hit cap (250 by default) sell only half of it. For goals i used to have it as never spend til i got 100g, then 200g then 300g then i paused it for awhile so i could spend without going below 300g. Now years later its stay above 2000g. On another note having at least 1 alt account and doing strictly daily/weekly wizard vault stuff will also get u like 50g a week for a short period of time. Just if you go that route do not over do it or you wont have time for your main account lol

Appreciate the tips been doing some of this stuff for awhile I have 3 extra accounts which I bought on sales and funnel the gold from wizards vault, alt parking, daily gathering into my main account and it's a pretty nice money maker besides the general gameplay on my main account. Will try and use your tips to make my daily routine which I have prioritised to a certain extent based on my own knowledge even more efficient and profitable.

Also buy and sell 5 ASS (Antique Summoning Stones) every week from the weekly trader in Arborstone

FYI not every T5 to T6 transmute is worth it.

There is a chest in Echovald Wilds near Quarry Forelands that gives you 1-2 jade runestones each day.

give me gold

I also thought that you could only farm from each different synthesis output level once per day, but I have heard from a guildie that he is able to farm from multiple guild halls that have synthesis output level three. The most recent guild hall I helped build up has been purposefully left at synthesis output level three to help members farm more stuff since the guild is only a couple of years old now and there are so many fully upgraded halls in the game already. I was explaining this to a different member who was wondering why we still had one upgrade left to complete, but the before mentioned guildie said that he is able to farm from our guild hall and another hall that has the same synthesis output level. I can't test this currently, but I myself am able to farm from three different halls with different output levels.

just do t4 fractals -20 mins for 15g or add cms for 30g+ while actually playing the game.

That "archipelago" pronunciation though.

Just 5 gold a day. You can sponsor an asuran child aspiring to blow up the world.
A poor asuran child can not afford Globs of Dark Matter to complete his or her black hole bomb.
Just 5 . gold . a . day . can make this poor asuran childs dream a reality.
Just 5 gold a day. It's pocket change to you, a world ending dream for an asura.

IDK i just run a "Non-profit" that I profit a lot from.

You can get every Bjora marches chest with 1 character.

I came into this thinking - I had all the good spots. BUT this includes the SOTO spots, very nice. Thank you Muk,
And extremely helpful for new folks.
GG

Be sure to check the value of t6 mats before converting because some times the value of the mats required to upgrade can be more than the t6 you get back so you actually lose money

I suppose I shouldn't bother instance home or any home only if I can get volatile magic out of it?

I'm here to click these links

Thanks Mukluk, like always, really useful

Which Enrichment should you be wearing in your amulet?

Fractal 42 farm is way to go

What did those poor alts do to deserve this fate :(

Consistency make you Rich!

Noooooooo don't tell everyone and their mother about Istan Shipments!! That means they're going to flood the market and the value will go down. Ugh....
