How I made 1,327 gold in a week

[@vh269]

what i love abt this video is how u show us the currency conversion process afterwards, i've never understood how everyone keep saying they earn 30g per hour through metas and events but now i do! and never thought volatile magic could convert into that much gold! tysm for doing this my friend

@@Caporai this is a great lesser known tip! I actually was making these purchases at the limited discount vendor in eye of the north every time I did my IB5 strikes which I completely forgot to mention in this video.

How many hours you played a day?

[@ieatyoulol]

i played a lot more than I usually do for this challenge, was somewhere around 5 to 8 hours a day roughly

Yep making gold is easy if you have the time, which I do not. But that is OK slow and steady wins the race. I would much rather play a little, then spend my time with the wife, kids and puppy :)

[@Tamate-m4d]

you don't need to make gold to have fun in the game and it's not as if you put time into the void to make gold, playing meta events or instance content can be enjoyable and if you don't find it enjoyable just don't play it

real money = gems = gold. Actually the best way to farm gold is having a job 😅

[@Cirkle2]

The ultimate gold farm is having a job.

[@TohnR]

Just your dailies take more time than I have to play after a day of work 😂 These sessions would require at least 5 hours of playing, right?

[@_MonkeBusiness]

IBS5, SoTo and EoD dailies take less than an hour with a proper group. T4 dailies + recs might take slightly more time. I'd say it'll take you between 1h 30 min and 2h

Very unoptomized. My poor mans wage nets me $100 usd after 7 hours, which = 8,000 gems = 4,123g (current exchange) This is close to 4x your profit from a WEEK in what ammounts to a SINGLE play session of time. Remember friends: time=money

[@VirtuesOfSin]

Sounds about right, just doing dailies is insane. Expecially with the new Astral Vault, that gives easily 500g itself per cycle.

[@SoulRollerFIN]

Meanwhile in PvP/WvW... Grind for weeks or months for 200g.

[@-o-dq7nd]

Nobody does those things for gold though. Gold is even less of a contributing factor in pvp since you can dress up as a basic outfit starter look, and still have the stats equal to the other classes.

[@leestrz4153]

Wvw I get around 10g per hour seems ok

[@thatguy3675]

I buy black lion keys from time to time and save up the black lion claim tickets / scraps I get. Then I use those tickets to buy a couple of the exclusive skins if they look like they will be popular. Then when I take a break and come back after a year or two, the exclusive skins have more than doubled in value. Just made 800G on skins only when I retuned this year (for some reason people really loved the Magical pink skins haha)

I wish you put not just the total gold per farm but also the gold per hour and how many hours you played for each of thos days.

[@lordnoda]

Its in the final statistic page @ 20:18 approximately 8g 76s 30c per hour

[@ieatyoulol]

Yea I definitely wish I had an easy way to get that per-activity gold/h data without tediously timing each activity I did, I was already balancing a lot of things during this challenge. But I do know I played about 5-8h each day

[@ieatyoulol]

That final gold per hour number for the week is not very indicitive of my actual average gold per hour while playing since it is the total for the entire week. So it includes all the downtime that I was not playing over the 7 days, thats why its such a low number.

[@lordnoda]

@@ieatyoulol Still a decent metric though as we can work out roughly the gold per hour given an average play time per day. say 4 hours a day would it be roughly 48 gold an hour

[@piggie0000]

Hi, I realized lots of the farm requires lots of later expansions' content. Is there any good farm routine with PoF and HoT expansions?

[@ieatyoulol]

for sure! HoT metas are still fantastic to this day! the night bosses in verdant brink, octovine in auric basin, chak garent in tangled depths are all fantastic to do every day. dragon's stand is also pretty good but not as popular and you can get a bit left behind now without a skyscale. PoF metas are not quite as popular but I still do a few now and then. Doppelganger and forged with fire are not bad, and of course pinata in crystal oasis is a notoriously fast one that has a tiny chance to drop a very expensive infusion

[@lairizzle]

In another comment you mention you played 5-8 hrs a day. So let’s compare to a 40 hour work week. You could literally work 3 hours making minimum wage and buy this much gold.

[@ieatyoulol]

why would you want to do that? whats the point in having gold in the game if youre not playing the game?

[@lairizzle]

@@ieatyoulol Who said I'm not playing? To earn gold this way you are bound to a to-do laundry list of daily activities. If that is what you want to do that is cool and have fun for sure, but another to-do list is not for everyone. Personally I already have one for work, my wife, my children and my house. lol Like I said enjoy the game anyway you want but from a pure cost to time spent conversion it simply does not make sense.

I once made around 900 gold per hour* massive asterisk since I'm being a bit strange on this and there wasn't actually any way to liquid this, during void lounge's cerus progathon weekend over the course of 2 runs I killed the boss which means I no longer have to pay a seller to get the clear so I could argue that the time I spent to beat the boss is worth as much as it would be to buy a clear hence I was at 900 gold per hour although clearing it that fast is a bit of an anomaly, I was in runs with some really good players and I learned the fight pretty fast double drops and t drops in particular I didn't take long to learn although I still kinda suck at sub 10% but I was alive past first green which void lounge defines as me being in a group that has killed

[@ZLAVICX]

So icebrood saga 5 strikes. EoD SoTo strikes and T4 frc enough to be 50-70 each day..

[@sync5862]

For the unidentified gear do you sell them or salvage?

[@ieatyoulol]

for this challenge I tried to avoid processing gear since it would change the profit numbers. my profit tracker was just calculating the profit of them by their value on the TP so I guess you could consider that the same as selling (although my profit tracker did not account for the 15% TP tax) normally though I salvage my commons and rares for mats and ectos, and with the greens it is often roughly the same or even better to sell them depending on their current price. this is all assuming you have the correct salvage kit for them, if you dont then youre probably better off just selling them all.

[@KyzoonNova]

Please always salvage them! There is a chance for exotic gear in every tear of undefined gear.

[@HolySl0w]

is there a reason to why you bought t4 mats with laurel and not t6 ?

[@ieatyoulol]

A good question, I did cut the explanation out for time. Its simply because technically the T4 bags have a higher laurel to gold conversion than the T6 bags because of the prices of the items and the average droprates. the fast-farming site has all the conversion rates for currencies. also P.S. if I WASNT doing this challenge where I wanted to see how high of a number I could get for profit during this week, I probably would just grab the T6 bag because I usually would be using the mats to craft legendaries anyway and I usually need T6 mats the most to do so, so because of the 15% TP tax i am likely better off going straight to those, (instead of getting the T4 bag, selling them then using that to buy T6 mats) I knew I didnt want to craft any legendaries for profit for this challenge, I wanted mostly just to see how much I could farm in materials in a week.

[@Wisznuification]

Say I have a lot of unconverted mats and currencies. Do I have to manually check them on wiki one by one, to decide how to best liquidate them, or is there any better option?

[@ieatyoulol]

the best resource for this is probably the fast farming site. Shows you all the different methods of converting each currency and you can see which ones are best for you. Sometimes the highest gold per currency is less reliable (mostly when its something you need to sell on the TP, for example the Mini Freezie's Heart is one of the highest gold per karma conversions but it requires you to sell it to another player, and they are rarely purchased) fast.farming-community.eu/conversions/overview

[@panmaciej121]

fast farming website does the summary for you

[@KyzoonNova]

I personally do it like: check my current goals needs at wiki. Which means listing all mats i need to achieve that goal. For example a legendary item or ascended armor or smth like that. I want all mats for that in my bank instead of having to buy it back for more gold later. Then I check what is the highest profitable sellable component/item I can make out of these leftover mats and „upcycle“ them as much as possible. I rarely sell mats though, because I am crafting Ad Infinitum and Vision atm.

[@siegfurd]

add fractal cms, have fractal god, trade integrated for keys, open boxes. raw gold printer. :p

[@KyzoonNova]

Can you explain that little bit more in detail? I don’t know what half of the things you say mean, but I would love to know 🙏

[@siegfurd]

Do your t4 fractals at a minimum, work your way up to the fractal god title so you get four additional encryptions each fractal, add in cms (challenge modes) as soon as possible to speed up fractal god and get “free” keys using integrated matrices to open encryptions. Encryptions produce raw gold.

[@moethejester1793]

hello kinda new here and i have a couple of questions if u dont mind 1- "14 gold fromm octovine", when i do this meta i only get garbage materials that worth nothing, and yes i get some unidentified gear and some materials but at max they worth like 5g? what do you exactly sell to get around this 14g 2- i see you switch between metas like its nothing, and i dont know if its my playing time or what but it is painful for me to find a full squad doing drizzlewood meta for example and when they are finish, they only do it once and the same goes for the EOD dragon meta. is there a way i can find groups who spam doing drizzlewood or other metas?

[@ieatyoulol]

I dont mind! hope you dont mind an extremely long winded answer! you might be surprised how much gold you are actually getting from doing just about anything in this game. It does a pretty poor job at making it clear how much account value you actually get from activities because the vast majority of your profit is in the form of materials items and currencies that need to then be converted to gold. This is why I love profit trackers so much, they add up the value of all the little things and it gives you a much better idea of how much value you actually got out of an activity. There is one thing I can think of that could inhibit your profit but its maybe like 60 silver at most, which is choosing something other than the Amalgamated Gemstone from the heros choice chest. another thing to keep in mind is my profit tracker does not take into account the 15% tax that you always get when selling stuff on the trading post, so if I were to sell everything I got from this challenge my actual profit would be 15% less. and yea I have had a similar experience with finding groups for events as well. I'm not in the most popular timezone myself. There are some tips I can give you, but there is also sort of just a skill (if you can call it that?) that you develop over time especially when it comes to jumping into meta events late and finding good map instances. Some metas are generally less popular, drizzlewood for example is one I quite rarely find a commander running in the LFG, but sometimes there is one actually running one that just isnt in the LFG, or sometimes the map is actually just running itself, drizzlewood is one of the metas that can run itself if theres enough people and at least a few people know whats up, which there often is. so sometimes i'll just jump in the map and see. Other metas such as dragonfall are much better when ran by an experienced commander but its also much more popular in my experience so its not as hard to find a group in the LFG. Another tip that is less helpful if youre brand new but an absolute gamechanger once you are able to do it, is buying a commander tag and running the event yourself. It truely is a gamechanger, players always flock to commander tags, whenever youre looking at an empty LFG hoping someone would tag up to run the event, I assure you there are many other players doing the same. Once you gain the ability to tag up you gain the ability to do almost any event at any time you want. If you dont know, you can type "/wiki et" ingame to open up the event timers wiki page that shows you when all the events are happening, and I personally overlay it inside my game so its even easier to quickly see whats coming up and copy the nearest waypoints. I made a guide for that actually: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGOlYa2crZ6Jesk Joining community discords like Hardstuck and Overflow Trading Company are fantastic for finding groups as well, they commanders ping when they are running events or trains, my discord has a channel that puts these pings from multiple different communities into 1 channel that is pretty handy.
