Making Gold with LOW EFFORT in Guild Wars 2 - a Guide

[@morganb6717]

disclaimer: low effort once you've progressed far enough from lengthy gameplay to make many of these suggestions 'low effort'. having reached that point, these do become excellent suggestions.

[@oxnerd]

For real. Any new players should prioritize playing the game! Don’t worry about money until you’re caught up with the main story.

[@cynhanrahan4012]

That first 80 is always tough, as is learning the different classes by yourself. There is no support from GW2 telling you how to get there when you are new. My deal with games is they have to pay for themselves, and all the shinies I want. And I want. So learning to use things like the wiki, joining LFGs, guilds, even KZbinrs like our MukLuk are part of the curve. So is being nice to new players, and having guild stuff just for them. It's a game that's not really hard to succeed at, given some delving into the social aspect.

[@taegiseoktrash8874]

BTW about your parked characters in LA! for a tiny bit of extra effort you can jump into the PVP lobby use the Springer to jump on the big ass statue, then do the Jumping Puzzle there (it's basically jump on the statue, jump onto the building, run over to the other rock thingy, then use springer again to jump to the top (suppose you can use skyscale too) this takes very little extra time. And instead of opening 1 chest you can open 2. When you leave the PVP lobby you get automatically transported back to where you were before I have 3 level 21 characters parked in LA and they open 6 chests per day and I get almost every day at least 1 silver doubloon (yesterday I got 4 uwu)

[@tadelloso]

Combine 4 green medallions in mystic forge for a chance at amalgamated gem stone. You get them often from salvaging gear, and they add up quick.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

Again very helpful to someone forced out of the game for a year or 1.5 years due to no PC. Not only was this a fun watch but you showed me a few things I never even thought to do as a passive way to add to the gold count. Again Muk these guilds are really really done well. I hope the you tube channel grows more an more as a result of all the work, time and skill your doing on the channel now. Kudos you Brand Ambassador and Global Icon you :)

I would also add the dragonfall meta event, if you have enough keys for the chests, they bring quite a bit of sustantiated loot for good amount of gold.

I just wanted to point out that free-to-play accounts don't get log-in rewards, so don't bother creating a ton of accounts in hopes for free stuff. To get the log-in rewards, you'll need a paid account, either by owning an expansion or getting a code for the paid core game, which is pretty rare to come by. Other than that, a pretty solid guide.

Your right, I should have specified! I do have a second account I got during a sale (the quiznos promotion, was much cheaper at that time) and I get the daily login rewards on that account and mine my home instance a 2nd time with it. And thanks for the kind words!

(cronebear) -- for daily mystic forge -- save up or buy 4 dyes (usually 16-21c one the market). I've gotten 5-15g dyes from this. It's more potential profit, I think, than 4 green gears.

[@MuklukYoutube]

I didn't know that one!

[@ShavaNerad]

@@MuklukKZbin See, cheap dyes are now going to go up immensely on Mystic Daily days. But, hey, for the moletariat! :) But seriously, they will be hella cheap if you buy them in advance, especially the ones people get from leveling rewards. Keep 4 stacks in the bank if you have room, and if you feel like you have a surplus, just spam cook them in the forge and the ones that you get that are worthless? Put them in the next combo. Pretty much by odds if you are recycling the low value dyes you get, eventually you'll hit one that's at least 20-50s or something, and profit anyway. Plus, if you are a fashionista, you get to fill out your dye panels ftw. BTW, you won't likely see me in discord.

This node is the second one.

I haven't played since before HoT came out, and watching this made my head spin with the amount of new mats and tricks available. Wowza. My grandma wants to play with me since I live so far away now and I was thinking of using GW2 as an MMO-newbie-friendly foray. So I pulled up youtube to see wha tI could find about current GW2. Now I'm wondering if it's actually newbie-friendly anymore. Maybe just the base game?

[@MuklukYoutube]

When you make a new toon you start off with 2 abilities and earn more slowly while leveling. Most classes end up with 10 abilities and a weapon swap which changes your 1-5 skills to a different set, then a few skills beyond that related to class specific stuff. For example: the ranger controls their pet with F1-F4 by default. Some classes have many more, such as elementalist. The game definately has a "easy to pick up, hard to master" feeling. If you think you and Gram might like it I would recommend using the free link, see what you think, and if you decide you love it you can buy the expansion later on. I have another video on this channel called "a stronger start, a guide for new players" that you might be interested in as well if you end up giving it a try: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXa7lJSQnt-UrpI

[@christophersmith8316]

I've just started myself and I think it is still newbie friendly. My first char is in the 20s and there's plenty of stuff to do and see. I'm not sure grandma would have to work up to advanced combat in groups and raids but I've done fine soloing with just normal loot and quest rewards for gear. You might want to make a few bags early on because the default bags and bank are fairly small.

[@laner.845]

@@MuklukKZbin Right, like I said, I played it before the xpacs started coming out. I maxed out every class and profession in the game before I got bored with it. Once I got The Dreamer I felt like I had achieved my goal and had nothing else really to play for. Then HoT came out after I had stopped playing and I never went back. Now I'm trying to decide if GW2 base game or Classic WoW would be a better fit for her. I need to log back into GW2 and see how it feels on a brand new toon.

[@emsig2431]

AstridAstreia Lmao, you get ascended chests a lot from fractals. Even if you only build yourself up to t2 fracs you could still get an ascended chest and work your way up, sounds like you just need some patience. Btw if you want to talk about the price, you get free +1 agony’s from doing fractals. That makes a 7 gold +9 agony infusion only three gold when you buy it from the vendor. You just have to play this game smarter, not harder. AND if you’re already doing all the recs which means you’re doing t3 recs, then you’ve already invested your money, why not just finish it off? It’s worth the gold payout.

@@AstridAstreia I don't know if you still play the game but investing in fractals is honestly the most return I have so far. It is more convenient than raids and honestly on average it is extremly rewarding. Even if you low roll you get 20gold worth of stuff in T4s bare minimum(it would mean that you get matrixes in all 15 chests, crack encypted and get shit ^^') and yesterday it took me 40mn to do all T4 + recs and was more close to 40gold worth of things with no particulary good rng(3 mystic coins and 2 infused rings that salvaged meh). Infusions are not that expensive either, it's 5 gold to buy and if you farm the content daily you will be able to craft yours or recoup selling yours, you actually loot them as well by doing fractal so it is a kind of loan more than a straight loss ^^'.

I've found map/world completion to be a pretty low effort way of making gold. It definitely does take a while, but it's easy for new players to do and just gathering all the nodes while you're completing the maps means you're passively generating gold from the mats as you go. Plus, there's the chance of getting a Black Lion Key for every map you complete, which can get you some really nice items to sell.

Then sell the 20 mystic coins you get and that's another 40 g you can make for a total of 60 g/ month just by logging in the game. And that's not taking into account the rest of the mats you get by just playing the game. Seriously people just play the damn game and don't worry about the gold you're pretty much covered.

I tried personally to salvage 8 ascended rings that I attuned. I got 27 stabilizing matrices. The cost of salvaging is 9.92g (agonic essence + salvage tools). The total selling price at TP of those 27 matrices was 7.14g (TP fees already deducted). That is almost 3g negative profit. How is that break even?

[@MuklukYoutube]

The price of matrices may have dropped slightly since I made this guide, but I still consider it worth doing. You get a lot of free ascended salvage kits from fractals (so you don't have to pay for them) and you can get up to 20 matrices for a single salvage. If you got 27 from 8 salvages that is unfortunately bad luck which does happen sometimes.

[@Onthewayover]

Sell non-"junk" trash items (e.g., medallions) to vendors. If you're stacking up items you don't want, they don't get stored as materials, and they only sell for coppers on the trading post, sell them to vendors for a guaranteed vendor price. You can also clean out TP items that have been "selling" for months, sell them to vendors, and recoup your loss for a quick gold.

[@PetrSUsername]

Hi, you mentioned identifying equipment, but I have no idea how to do it? Is it only on gear 80+?

[@MuklukYoutube]

If you have unidentified gear, you can just double click on it, or right click on it then click "use" or "use all" to identify it.

[@inventorofsalt]

Are wvw containersaffected by magic find and is it still recommanded to open unidentified gear on a lvl 53 character? I would like to know that!

[@MuklukYoutube]

From the wiki "These special items are affected by magic find: Containers received from reward tracks, generally called "Loot box" or "cache", which simulate loot drops from the named NPC.[3][4] Chests and containers specifically mentioned to be affected by it, such as: Lost Bandit Chests in the Silverwastes. Caches and loot boxes from Heart of Thorns content Divine Lucky Envelopes during Lunar New Year" For the "lvl 53" part of your question, yes I believe so. That isn't something I bother with but I think that is still "maximum profit".

[@inventorofsalt]

@@MuklukKZbin Ok interesting I heard lvl doesnt matter anymore. I got a lvl 50 character that Im currently using as a tailor and bank :D Thanks for the answer

[@zachlove3289]

Did they remove the ability to farm the synthesizer nodes on multiple guilds daily (even if they are different levels).

[@MuklukYoutube]

No they did not, I still farm 3 guilds a day (even today). But the synth's have to be different levels (in terms of upgrades).

[@seriousmaran9414]

Why would you move your toon out if the jumping puzzle? Just visit the PVP lounge or WvW. Actually my WvW main is at a jumping puzzle and only does those activities.

[@MuklukYoutube]

I mean, I said I hadn't moved him out of their in months so I'm not sure where this is coming from. But the most obvious answer is... if I wanted to play that toon?

[@seriousmaran9414]

@@MuklukKZbin just that you could have been clearer, a lot of people don't ever think of using the PvP lounge as it is "for PvP". Usually I leave WvW, storage and low level toons on these points, ones that have not moved off the point in over a year, some for a lot longer. Minor omission in a great video. I am one of those who makes a nice amount of gold doing easy things and I got a couple of new ones from this.

i go to home instance. but i dont see anything i can mine. is it bc i havent finish some quest?

[@MuklukYoutube]

You have to build up your home instance, here is a guide on how to do it if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6urk397id54jJo

[@safetyx3804]

what is with leatherfarm? i think that is another good spot :)

[@oxnerd]

Triple Trouble Crimson wurm is extremely low effort and high reward. Combined with Tequatl. These 2 events done once a day will net you all your ascended gear for free as you have a good chance of drops from the chests. These 2 events are always back to back. Teq is first and then wurms. Best to do immediately after reset. You need to show up at least 30 minutes before triple trouble starts so you don’t get locked out of the main map. Guilds run the event every day 3 times a day. Pacific time: 5 pm, 9 pm, and 12 am. Remember to show up 30 minutes before in bloodtide coast, always keep track of lfg!

[@foozlesprite]

TT is good for rewards BUT I wouldn't exactly classify something you have to show up 30 minutes early for or need a guild-organized run for an "easy/low-effort" method. I think that's probably why it was skipped here.

[@oxnerd]

@@foozlesprite You're afk until the event actually starts. The event is super easy too especially crimson wurm.

[@vicetech]

Was the upgrade in home instance free back then? I recently started playing and was looking into it, and it seems I need Gem Store item to have those upgrade. And they cost 800gem - 4,000gem if they every bring it back (based on Wiki record). Is there other ways of getting it?

[@MuklukYoutube]

This is a video guide I made on home instances: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6urk397id54jJo MOST nodes for home instance are not from the gem store, only a few are.

[@WalterLiddy]

Strange - I've tried farming two guild halls in the past and found that if one was done, the other yields nothing. Did they change it?

[@MuklukYoutube]

I believe they need to be either A: different levels or B: different locations. I'm in 3 guild halls, all different locations and levels and I can farm all 3 each day

[@DrKlenk-cx4hx]

It has to be different levels For the synths its enough to have one with & one without the very last upgrade

Awesome video, thanks for it bro 😁

I’m still confused on items, I usually just sell them all, should I be doing something different, I don’t think I can craft yet, I’m level 39

[@oli5210]

You unlocked crafting a while ago, you need to go to a profession that you wish to learn such as cooking and they will teach you(unlock crafting)

[@hellmouthoftheuniverse]

You're cute :D

[@wecuyler]

At what level would I have access to my home instance?

[@MuklukYoutube]

Very early, but you wouldn't be adding a lot of nodes to it before max level. But I let a lot of low level characters into my home instance each day so they get a copy of all the loot.

[@canna438]

Correction: Attuning (as shown on the video) an ascended ring does not give you the same chance (1-20) as infusing the ring (source wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Salvage#Ascended_equipment) . By attuning you get only chance to get 1-2 Stabilizing Matrices on top of the normal 1-20. Hence it's barely worth it to attune non-infused rings as it's not profitable to waste ascended salvage kits on (attuned) non-infused rings.

[@MuklukYoutube]

Ah! Thanks for that correction, I didn't know! In my case however I have stacks of 20 charge ascended salvage kits I keep getting for free in fractal loot boxes, so I don't mind either way.

[@EllionGrey]

What is a home instance?! Does GW2 have housing?

[@MuklukYoutube]

In a way yes, but it isn't like most games. There are certain unlocks you can get (like resource nodes) that once unlocked, appear in your home instance and can be harvested daily. You cannot decorate it like player housing in some games. But I get a few gold and a mountain of materials from farming my home each day, very easily. I have a guide on home instances here if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6urk397id54jJo

[@PatSlovak]

Would add Timberline Falls LeyLine Anomaly to the list. If you do reset teq, then hop over to leyline immediately after. You get 1 free mystic coin + random unidentified items for minimal effort (the map is always stacked with people so you literally just spam auto-attack) + the few minutes prior to spawn you can collect some easy nodes of plat ore (one of which is always rich) and plat ore is very well priced atm. Can also do Crystal Oasis Pinata (super low effort), TD + AB meta immediately following leyline, Death Branded Shatterer, then Junundu meta. Usually would go teq > leyline > TD > AB > DBS > Junundu. All ez low effort metas.

[@hejhej821]

Good list, although from experience this can make you burn out quickly because the game becomes a boring task list. After a while I just did t4 fractals daily and then whatever I felt like. Fun/gold ratio is important! Sure its low effort but its also boring and everything isnt time efficient. Nice if you want tv or something tho.

[@itsqeqe3461]

i just played 2 days ago after watched this video my brain stop working xD

[@robinauseer499]

I believe the mystic forge recipe for the asc rings from fractals has changed! The infused one now needs different items that cost a little more.

[@MuklukYoutube]

I don't believe it has, I use it almost daily. But there are multiple mystic forge enhancements involving rings, it is possible you may be thinking of another one.

[@robinauseer499]

MuklukKZbin Really? How strange. I tried using the rings the second time with the same materials and it wouldn’t let me. Do you know why?😰

Aye, another comment pointed this out as well. The account would need to be upgraded to get the login rewards. You can do so by buying path of fire, or waiting until a sales promotion ( got my alt account pretty cheap during the quiznos promotion a month or so ago).

[@MuklukYoutube]

I assume this is done so that someone doesn't just make 100 free to play accounts for the login reward mystic coins, etc.

Am I the only one who understood less than half the stuff he said? I guess I shouldn't have looked for guides on how to minmax getting gold after just hitting 80 yesterday. 😅

[@literaturegeek1570]

Many of the recommended tipps repeat themselves in many of those videos. Don't worry, you'll get there. I have been lvl 80 for two or three weeks and I at least know about many things he talks about while still being far from doing them. Just by watching a bunch of guides and tutorials. Totally recommend daily Tequatl. He is lots of fun for two gold and a spoon. :D
