We found a way to make some serious gold in this game and it has everythign to do with just being skilled players in a group that works flawlessly together. With 5 highly skilled players you can run dungeon paths in about 30 minutes. Each run we were making between 60-80 silver depending on drops. (YES WE ARE IN FULL MAGIC FIND GEAR). 1 Dungeon = 3 Paths 3 Paths = 1.5 Hours 1.5 Hours = 1.8 to 2.4 Gold (Depending on drops) You can run each dungeon twice a day because they reset at 8:00 Eastern. Therefore... 1 Dungeon + 1 Day (AKA 3 Hours) = 3.6 to 4.8 Gold Lets average it out at 4 gold We were running 3 dungeons, all 3 paths, 2 times per day for a total of 18 Paths. Obviously with a job this can't be done all the time, but we were doing it on the weekends and making about 12 Gold a day. The last 3 weekends I have come out with about 80 gold. Just wanted to share. I know it's not in depth, but a lot of people do look for new ways to make gold. It is grindy as hell, but it has paid off. I have bought my Precursor for Sunrise!! :D |

Good tip, but I play to have fun and that doesnt sound that fun to me. Eventually I get enough gold for my racial armor anyways. :) |

OR you can run DEs in Orr then switch over to Frostgorge before diminishing returns and make about the same.
I avg 50-70s in Orr between 2 Des at either end of the tunnel and half of the Plinx chain, then port to Frostgorge and make another 20-30s depending on which chain Des I catch, to be conservative I will say 20s on the low end. That's 70s in less than 20 minutes IF the two DEs in Orr are around the sametime on either end of the tunnel or one right after the other. And 1g on average It averages to 2-2.8g an hour, no Magic Find gear other than the food MF and 2 MF weapons. Of course with prices of Ectoplasms dropping, the numbers might be lower. This is taking into account 14-16s per ectoplasm, and no salvages- vendoring it all, except for yellows. Dungeons were a LOT more money making machines pre-DR, now you can make more DE hopping between 2 zones, just need to time it right & a little luck on drops, MF gear is a plus.

Sadly, lots of players are buying gold from gold sellers, and that just ruins the whole "how to get gold fast" thing.

Originally posted by Voicekrack that's silly since every single MMO out has tons of gold selling sites.. so basically you are saying earning gold in any MMO is pointless because you can just buy it instead. I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

The reason you see so many gold sellers in game is because the game is popular.

Your welcome... just wanted to get it out there since I haven't seen many gold making tips around here. Remember though for this to be effective you need 5 really good players who have no lives on the weekends :D |
