Fastest gold grind is a part time job at McDonald's and buy gems. In 1 hour you get 200-300g. Make sure you keep a really strict schedule so you're doing less than 8hours a week to leave room for gaming (most places are so desperate for work they'll still hire you)
You're right! But why stop there? Take out a low-interest loan, get your Doctorate after 10 years and then you'll be making 10,000+ gold/hour after you pay down all of your student debt!! \o/
I would but I need all those gems for making amalgamated gemstones for Gen 2 legendaries. :( Still want Verdach, Binding of Ipos, and Ravenswood so that’s a loooot of gemstones haha
@@GW2Pseudo the way you're doing it is wasting spirit shards. You get around 2.5g worth of notes from a weapon, while you already spend around 2g in ectoplasm alone. Spirit Shards do have value since they're used in material promotion, and 10 are worth more than 50 silver. It will always be better to go with potions, mithril helmets or earrings at this point in the game (until something new is added) since there's no limiting factor (spirit shards).
@@GW2Pseudo beryl mithril earrings are definitely a much much better way to farm research notes I'd say. I'm poor and it's still super easy for me to do that haha. Just the basic ones though, the blue item, no prefix. It literally only takes beryls and mithril ingots.
For map completion I recommend doing the lanterns for Kaineng and Seitung and the actual map completion in Echovald and Dragon's End, the latter two being both wayyyy easier somehow. The only downside with Seitung is that you need to align your lantern run with the Aetherblade meta, because one of the lanterns is inside the boss room. It's best to prepare all lanterns beforehand, get that one, kill the boss, and then log out and back in again to get it again for the next lantern run. This means you are limited to 2 to 2.9 runs per meta max basically, but it's still much faster than the whole map comp. The lantern runs in Seitung and Kaineng with Blish honestly take no more than 18-20 min each when you're used to them.
For research notes, just make basic maintenance oil. You get a 5 stack of oil per craft and a few research notes per oil. You can get several thousand research notes in about 5 minutes for super cheap.
For the Ambergris, don't forget the second tab of that fishing vendor, he will trade 1 specific rare tier fish for an ambergris each day. If you have done any amount of fishing, keep the rare tier fish for this purpose.
^ You can ofc alternate Fishing w/ Grabbing Levi spawns too. If you don't like Fishing or are just Levi Farming by itself it's a fairly terrible gold/hour tho, which is why I didn't mention it! Solid Tip tho on the 2nd Tab!! 😄
Hadn't realized just how many researh notes you get from stat changing ascended weapons/armor. Turned all my useless bank ascended gear into almost 10k notes in minutes. That was great advice for everyone even if not crafting legendaries.
Yeah Gen 3's have been my gold maker in the last year. I have a similar daily routine as you but I do the 2 hearts in New Kaineng which can be done rather fast, also do the Trial of Elders mini dungeon in Dragon's End which grant a jade runestone and couple writs from map rewards, I recommend a bursty build with cleave just use raptor swipe to gather mobs together and it should take like 3 min.
Agreed! & Map Comp isn't that hard. Power builds always reign supreme for clearing stuff. There's also another Jade Chest in a cave at the end of Echovald. But I left of b/c it requires moving + killing a champ. 🤣
There are 3 that give Jade in Wilds 2 are near the portal in Quarry Forelands 1 up (gives 1-2) and 1 down in a tunnel (gives 1) that opens after you do an achievement and the other is just a few clicks north in Melandru's Hope up in the trees (gives 1) near the POI. I get about 3-4 Jade from wilds.
Plug for this ^ Comment if you need more Jade. I was showing off the *parking only* ones b/c this was that most common question I got. But not everyone has that many alts either. So this is a Solid Tip!!
For the research notes, when I salvage exotic gear for ectos and they drop the inscription/insignia every now a then, I keep them and use them to stat change ascended gear dropped from FOTM/Raids and salvage them for research pages. It could be another way to maximize the usage of a piece of gear.
The Arborstone HP guy is also bugged in the way that it doesn't always give rewards. And if you didn't get the reward the first time, you won't get it at all that day.
You just have to cycle through the characters, I think the diminishing returns feature affects it somehow. So if you don't get it on a char, use another one for a while.
This used to be an issue for me in the beginning like Kiimii mentioned I think this HP is affected by diminishing returns if you use the same character and don't map swap a couple times. I've just use my main who of course map swaps a lot because I use for several things ingame and never had that issue again.
@@TheKiimii Might be why i have never seen this happen. I use the same char for every HP + a few hearts in Cantha daily. DR never has a chance to kick in.
I have definitely seen the diminishing returns effect on the Arborstone HP that others have experienced. I find one of my characters can do the HP for a about a week before they stop getting the reward and I need to switch to another one. It seems it often was has to be one who hasn't done it for at least a couple of weeks, but I haven't kept track of the times. It's very odd to hear other people do not experience this, I guess this NPC really is bugged.
@@sw-gsNot necessarily. For farms yes. But I've been telling people this for about 10m now and nothing's changed. Imperial Favor still hard-locks these. Check the supply on the TP 00:20 if you don't believe me. 😄
There's a couple more Jade Runestone chests in Echovald, each with a guaranteed drop rate (4 that I know of before getting into the mini dungeons). So the "maybe" on the chest at 3:43 isn't necessary at all when you can guarantee a drop elsewhere.
I know there are some that require "minimal effort" but I wasn't aware of more that were parking-only. If so I'd love to know where they are & I can pass it on!! Maybe on the wiki somewhere that I missed! 😄
@@GW2Pseudo UA-cam isn't a fan of linking things, but youtube search connorconcarne's jade runestone farm and you'll find it! It is wiki-able also, but not very easily because the chests have different names.
Since i came back to the game 2 years ago i made 90 legendary items. Video like this help a lot of new and returning players. I find spirit shards and imperial favor the main bottlenecks to Gen 3 weapons.
It's really not that hard if you're constantly selling a few + have the IF. The trick is really the last part. Hence the guide on how I do it. -- I've even been learning a lot of other people's optimizations from the comments as well!
Solid Question: I stock up every Lunar New Years, via opening Red Envelopes. You can also farm it via salvaging ectos into dust if you're in a hurry. But with the Holidays this close I'd probably just wait! 🤣
One time i didnt have gold, barely 200, as almost all players. Then by lucky chance of ultimate Destiny, i got the invis shoes from a TM and sold them. With that much gold i made my first Legendary Sunrise, and sold it, with that gold i made Howler to keep it and another Sunrise. From that, gold comes easy, i got lucky, but the point is. Invest.
Whether you make your "first big $ item" through rng or just grinding mats for your first Legendary, It's a really not a bad idea to follow this philosophy. Buy mats and keep re-investing in making more stuff to sell. :D
I made around 100k gold combined over the last 1year and i mostly just afk around doing nothing, chatting with friends or wasting all that earned gold on gemstore stuff and decorating. Sold around 100-110 GoC's over the course of 1 year.
Dang considering most actual gold farms' in this game are all around 30g/hr you should definitely make a video showcasing your afk-ing methods! I bet a lot of people would dig it!! 😄
@@GW2Pseudo I'm just going half the way that guy does in his video. I assemble all the account bound materials like Gift of Battle, the clovers, the Blessings but instead of investing my time to farm up ASS, Runestones etc or losing profit by buying those i just sell the GoC to a baron. Thus my only timegates are Spiritshards, Gift of Battle (Still have a good handful of them laying around) and having to do Aetherblade, Aspenwood and Dragon's End Meta to get those lanterns. Gift of Battle i highly recommend using Reward Track boosters to speed up that process by almost trippling the reward progress gasin with said boosters. Same goes with Spiritshards. Do things like AB Bauble farm or Dragonfall with XP boosters for quick Spiritshard gains. If i wasn't a lazy bug i could assemble 1-2 GoC's per week and thus make about 1800-1900g/week.
yea, since I crafted myself a lot of legendary and convert ascended stuff, I have almost no spirit shards the whole time XD. That, Clovers and Mystic coins are always the problem, the rest is easy to get
Yup you just always gotta be on it' after you get rolling. I logged in today literally just to put boosters on each of the PvX characters I play just so I don't forget! ^^
Thanks for the video! Ive recently gotten into the leggy journey. Conpleted Frostfang a month ago and finally got full ascended everything else. However, now I've burned all my spirit shards. What's your recommended method to build them back up?
Hey thanks for asking! Always, *Always* run any boosters/fireworks/cheap xp food that you can. Head to the wiki and look up "XP-Maxing" and gauge which make sense monetarily for your general play. | Pro tip you can just auto-click through fireworks btw. if you click on them in your inventory while mounted. | Don't skimp on switching which XP buff you're rocking, for whichever game mode(s) you play from the guild hall, get those amulet enrichments, etc. -- If you enjoy more than 1 game mode you may want to set up a character for each. If you don't have the candy corn gobbler (or either the XMas/Dragon Bash Gobblers - get one or the other of these last 2: they don't stack but will with the candy corn one) get them in Oct./Dec. when those festivals roll around. They are INFINATELY worth their gemstore price. Also don't try to "rush" spirit shards, unless you have a bunch of Tomes of Knowledge built up, it'll be next to impossible to bash up more than 100 or so. So you need to make sure that while you're "Playing the Game" aka Map Completion, PvP, WvW, Raids, Fractals, Whatever that you're maximizing your time there! | Hope this helps & lmk if I can help with anything else specific!! ^^
@@GW2Pseudo Thanks for the response! I do some of that, but will definitely look into the fireworks and I already saved up enough to get the candy corn gobbler next month. Got the candy node last week :) Thanks again for your help!
It's bugged in like 4 different ways aparantly. I read in this section that if you already tagged it' but didn't do enough dmg to get credit, or if you're not the one to actually pop it' sometimes it won't give you credit until you can pop it. Haven't verified at all, but maybe try swapping characters you have there and see too. 😄
Don't count on it too much unless ANet puts Imperial Favor in the Vouchers or the Legendaries themselves in the WV. -- I've been telling people this method openly for over a year and it hasn't affected the price or supply one iota. I think they actually went up at one point. -_-
@@GW2Pseudo Haha fair, although I'd rather have fun & do some pvp and earn 20k a year rather than grind repetitive pve things :p No offense, just preference
Make1Sell1. One you do/sell the first (as painful as that is) it's astonishingly easy to make more. If for no other reason than the process becomes much less daunting imo.
Not sure how many you get from ascended items in research notes, the Draconic Helms will give you 25 per an on occasion, will give 75 but, this route is extremely expensive.
Either Maxed-out experience boosters PvE, or same with WvW Roaming! Like I said I'm perpetually short on them too & had to actually eat ~120 tomes to finish a Gen 3 Torch for a Friend last night. XD
He is not wrong. I went from 700g to 3k in like 5 days selling 3 gen 3 legendary. For me personally the hardest currency to halt me is spirit shards. Imperial favors are easly gotten, 3 of the EOD metas can net you like 500 imperial favors or more. You lose more profit if you buy the precursor from the tradepost but id recommend doing that since you save on 1500 imperial favors.
I recently ran into this road block with SS and decided that it was worth it to max exp boosts and add Griffon adventures to the routine (15-16 shards a day in 20 mins av). Highly recommended if you don’t have much time to play the game!
@@ArtuKam Yup I've done a similar thing with xp stuff lately. It definitely helps. Don't forget em' in the new maps to blast through your masteries too!! 😁
@@ArtuKam How are you getting 15-16 SS with those griffin adventures. I have tried the adventures with all the xp boosters i can, i place gold and at the end i barely get over 4 from the xp. Did all the main ones in PoF maps.
@@chosendew7268 required boosters: - Well rested (25%, keep character parked in arborstone for at least 4 hours while you're offline) - Exp Booster (50%, from Candy Corn Gobbler) - Festival Blessing (25% from Zhaitaffy or Snow Globe) - Guild Exp Gain (10% from a Guild Hall) - Ascended food (5%) - Enlightenment (20%, do Heart in Seitung training ground - will last 6 hours) You also need to level up empowerment for each PoF Season 4 map for an extra 30% for each adventure. I also use Lucky Fire Crackers and New Years Blessings but without them you should easily still manage 14-15 from the 15 adventures per day (4 x core maps, 4 x season 4 maps).
People have actually asked me this a lot and I genuinely can't answer. I've never done the lantern route, and didn't even know it was a thing until someone pointed it out on one of my streams like a year ago. But if Blish or Tekkit has a plugin for it I'd definitely try it & see!

Really well made video, thanks for spreading the secret knowledge 😄 I recently came back to the game after a year long hiatus, and was thinking about crafting a gen 3 legendary for myself, since I have most of the materials, but now I am considering making one and selling it to start the cycle of crafting, selling, and making profit 😅 You mentioned to try and list the legendaries during festivals and such, thou I would imagine that now would be a great time as well. Do you sell only through TP, or have you tried trading communities like Overflow and such? How long do you usually have to wait for a legendary to sell?
It's not a secret (Entirely why I made the video/stream: I'm not a fan of gate-keeping.) & Use the TP, especially for the cycle of Make-1-Sell-1. Just be patient to list during / before content spikes or patches. It's also a good idea to see which builds get updated with what weapon/are popular on Snowcrows, even if there isn't a new weapon. | For example: If you see Axe/Axe+Spear Berserker just dropped (I made this up) and people are enjoying it for PvE, your port of call should probably be an Axe over say, a Greatsword! :D
Please can you do a controller guide? Especially PVP and targeting etc. I recently got ROG ally X so that I can game in bed/on the couch. Could be awesome to see how you set stuff up and tips and tricks.

Thanks! It's at the end. Sorry if that was unclear. Probably 4 total of you have a fast computer for loading HPs and rush map comp. That's like 200g/h even if you include the crafting time. 😁 It just also includes patience to spread it out over a couple days ofc.
I always hear this kind of thing (selling gen 3 weapon for huge gold) but in the back of my mind i was like, that's look kinda troublesome. But after many months or just 3 weeks ago i craft 3 gen 3 weapon and its not that bad at all but instead of selling it i use it why? because its shiny XD But im 200g away for another gen 3 weapon and this time i plan to sell it to fund my leggy crafting addiction thats the plan i came up months ago, so thanks for reminding me :3
No problem! Wait till Tuesday & get it up if you can! -- You can always check the TP to see which ones are in high demand/low supply if you're crafting to sell as well! 😄
ok having lot of gold is great, I have 6 legendaries... Is there anything to grind for in this game? or have I basically beat the game... I am looking for something INTERESTING to grind, but from what I see there isn't anything?
GW2 Is the ultimate "Pick your direction and dive in it" Game, but it's notoriously bad at telling you any of those directions' exist. Like at all. Usually people are looking for more content' that appeals to them. But if the grind' is what appeals to you I can always recommend finishing the Armor+Sitils+Runes+Relic+Trinkets. 😄
YO! Go check this guy's ^ video out on "How to get GW2 Rich" for a great breakdown of the other ways to make $$$ in the game! -- You might find a method that you like that you didn't know about! 😁
hey awesome video, ive been tryna find guide or a way to make gold, and this really finally simplified it down for me enough so i understood mostly all of it. but my question is how do i get started on it like lets say im starting on below 1k. so do i just save up and craft 1 legendary then sell it and start the process over again with that gold? or do i need to gain gold first, (is it like you need money to get more money type of deal?)
Glad you enjoyed it & Thanks for asking!! I know it's tempting to not do this but if you're limited on play time: Just get the cheap gold / mystic coins / laurels (use for T4 mats usually,) from the Wizard's Vault Dailies, and list + Sell them. Each rotation this should net you a good 300 gold or so. If you can swing it tho (& have the time) you can always work through Core Tryia map completion and make + sell whatever Gen 1 Legendary is hot' from the VW Legendary Starter kit (always wait to select which until you can craft it fully.) -- For instance the Spear is relatively New/Still selling really well so I'd go in on that & it should bump you another 800-1K or so! Also if you're worried about the listing fee/times try to time it with larg(er) releases. For instance there's a Balance Patch coming up on the 8th, so there's a good chance there will be more people playing around this time. | Also shameless plug for my Monday Streams at 9pm ET here on YT & Twitch! I give away gold every week, and lots of its pure rng. :D | Hope it helps & let me know if you have any questions!! ^^
@@GW2Pseudo I see I see, I'm still very new to flipping tp and when to list items etc but I'm defenetly gonna try my best to get starting! Il check out your streams as well even If I don't get lucky😂😂 and Il be asking more if I'm still confused
Smart to sell before Tuesday if you were. I have this theory that they're going to put the Gen 1 spear in the Wizard's Vault either the first or second round of JW. Wouldn't make sense not to imo. 😄
Gift of battle is my biggest hurdle It's such a boring ass grind You must stack up on every available booster or else you will be in there for 8 hours I can do 4 EoD map completion for every 1 battle
100% Understand this. It is for a lot of people. & I used to hate PvP/WvW until I discovered build crafting. I really enjoy roaming/playing insane stuff and tying to make it work. But if that's not your thing, you can always ask/Watch Netflix and retake your home camp over & over with boosters as you've said. I have a Hardcore PvE friend who literally did this for his entire Gen 2 set 😂
Don't despair too much. I've been telling everyone on my streams this method for literally half a year whenever they ask + I put up this video 2/3 weeks ago and the price/stock of Aurene Legendaries is still largely the same. People will always be gated on Imperial Favor/Spirit Shards until they put them in the BL Exchange Vouchers. People too distracted with Janthir stuffs. & TY!! ^^
Isn't selling the raw materials more lucrative? I was looking at the cost of making one and it was like 2450, so I decided to put in a bid for 2050 instead, and got it. Did i miss something?
What the previous commenter said. ^ But which legendary were you looking at specifically I'm curious? The API's down rn because of the Expansion Release this week & I can take a look at it when it's back up. But there's no way the prices should fluctuate that much.
I must say i feel there is something wrong with this method of goldmaking. I mean few content creators reccomend it and still not many players are taking this path... My top guess is that putting 2k gold item on tp where you could stuck for weeks is too intimidating for most players.
That's a fair point, and the listing fee is a hit it's true. But even insta-selling gen 3's you still make a profit. Smaller but still worth it. -- As I showed at the beginning 00:20 there's actually very few "of any gen 3" ever available. Which I always thought was weird for the longest time. But I have to assume that's down to Imperial Favor gating.
@@GW2Pseudo Here are the Spots: - Jade Gate Waypoint: Has 2. One above the Waypoint and one below the bridge by the Waypoint in the cavern to the south. - Teleri Village: One above guared by a Elite Phenix, however it is insta open, so as long as you do not get infight or have infight skyscale it's free. - Echovald Wilds Insight: Fort Aspenwood: One, Guarded by and Elite Tengu.

My bet is how boring this all look. God bless the people who put legendary gear on the auction but you could pay me 500 USD and I wouldn't do all that. Been playing gw2 for decades and clicked on that randomly because I was wondering how some people make so much money. Never mind, I'm happy with my current hoard of 63 gold.
@@Horrormane I am pretty sure if you just make gem to gold convertion gen 3 leggy should be about 100 usd. But i am more incline to think that most buyers just farm the gold. The point where you basicly can only spend your gold on leggys or skins is on 500-1000 hours of the game and most active players have much more than that.
If you make 26k Gold just out of aurene leggys, this means ~20 leggys in a year. This also means there is a LOT you need to do outside of your daily routine (as described here). 2000 Jade runstones ( 5,5 per day is doable with alts) 2000 chunks of ambergris/ antique summoning stones (most of them have to be bought, but you mentioned that) 20 Gift of Battle ( 40-80 hours of WvW depending on boosters) *AND* 4000 spirit shards I don`t doubt that you can make 200 spirit shards in 2 weeks, but this needs maybe not extensive, but at least properly playing the game. Of course most users don`t want to craft that many legendaries and might have enough spirit shards anyway, but it should be mentioned imo, that eventually spirit shards become quite gated of you mass produce legendaries for profit. However you glossed over the need of spirit shards, which makes me wonder, whether your supply if practically endless, due to years of playing and not spending spirit shards, or whether you just did not include the need of playing the game for them, because of viewership? Spirit shards is furthermore another argument to buy precursors on TP, because otherwise you would need 50 spirit shards more per legendary.
I WvW a lot. Clearly I am out of spirit shards now. XD Experience boosters obviously help, but shards do perpetually gate you and I mention that in the crafting section around 12:00.
@@GW2Pseudowell that explains how you get your gifts and spirit shards. But it is still not in the video. For a few legendaries most player will have spirit shards on hand, but with masteries this might not even be the case for relatively new players.

Absolutely no offence directed at you but ofc it’s legendary selling haha i was hoping for something else because i don’t want to use my legendary resources to make gold when i want to make the legendaries for myself lol and thus looking for more ways to make gold to craft the legendaries 😅but hey if you ever need spirit shards, i have 3-4k all the time ;)
None taken! If you start using those Legendary Resources I guarantee you won't have that much anymore lol. Whether it's selling the legendaries directly or using the mats to either promote ups' or negotiating trades through trading discords account bound Resources are some of the most lucrative in the game.

@@GigglingStoners Then you must be doing sth fundamentally wrong. What i can recommend is making an excel file and recording what you spend your gold on. Also you will have to sell materials to get gold. Guild wars 2 gives almost no direct gold rewards.
It is amazing to me how 4 years pass and people continue to use Tekkit's stuff after he spewed such racist (about George Floyd) and transphobic stuff, lost his anet partnership, and p[eople continue to excuse it.
I'm not a fan either. Is there an alternative module pack that I can recommend? I think the BLISH HUD UI defaults to downloading his. Maybe a community-created one?
why should ppl care? even if hitler himself was a player and created something useful most ppl would still use it, bc the product doesn't represent the creator. Therefore is stupid to say "hey, the person who made this incredible useful thing is a bad person, so don't use it".
Not possible for me, cause i´m always need Ghostshards. I use every XP-Booster all the time, for every content. Doing 6-10 Meta Map Events per day, daily fractals and some other stuff, but dont get enough ghost shards
Yeah definitely hear you there. Once I started doing this regularly I ran out wayyy quicker than I thought I would as I mentioned around the end @ ~11:00 or so. Boosters help as you mentioned, but the real Spirt Shard Farm' is WvW or PvP with max boosters. Altho I 100% understand that this is most definitely not for everyone ^^
@@GW2Pseudo wvw i get nothing. No loot, no XP. Cause i cant kill anything alone, Always die. And in squads i never get any Hit, so i dont get Partizipation. The only thong i get i from chest out of Ticks. Bit to get this, u need to Run 1 week for 8hours or more to get wooden Award. Ti get 1 level Up with books in wvw i need 1 week with 4+ hours playing per day. And then i have 0 loot. Waste of time
Mystic CLovers i always get by Mystic Forge. Cause i get same amount like buying on vendors, but get a lot of other mats too. Biggest Thing is always the WvW thing. I Hate Wvw. staying there for many hours and get nothing loot, just to get the item. so annoying....
Can always treb from a keep or just ask a comm to share participation!! ^^ I wish I could help you more. If it makes you feel any better my rng with clovers is absolutely awful lol
Fastest gold grind is a part time job at McDonald's and buy gems. In 1 hour you get 200-300g.
Make sure you keep a really strict schedule so you're doing less than 8hours a week to leave room for gaming (most places are so desperate for work they'll still hire you)
You're right! But why stop there? Take out a low-interest loan, get your Doctorate after 10 years and then you'll be making 10,000+ gold/hour after you pay down all of your student
debt!! \o/
@GW2Pseudo that's so big brain!!
If you've got legendary trinkets and gems are filling up your bank, making a ton of basic mithril jewelry can be a decent source of research notes.
Solid suggestion, never thought of this. I'll pass it on if anyone asks!! 😄
I would but I need all those gems for making amalgamated gemstones for Gen 2 legendaries. :(
Still want Verdach, Binding of Ipos, and Ravenswood so that’s a loooot of gemstones haha
why not the mithril helms?
@@GW2Pseudo the way you're doing it is wasting spirit shards. You get around 2.5g worth of notes from a weapon, while you already spend around 2g in ectoplasm alone.
Spirit Shards do have value since they're used in material promotion, and 10 are worth more than 50 silver. It will always be better to go with potions, mithril helmets or earrings at this point in the game (until something new is added) since there's no limiting factor (spirit shards).
@@GW2Pseudo beryl mithril earrings are definitely a much much better way to farm research notes I'd say. I'm poor and it's still super easy for me to do that haha. Just the basic ones though, the blue item, no prefix. It literally only takes beryls and mithril ingots.
For map completion I recommend doing the lanterns for Kaineng and Seitung and the actual map completion in Echovald and Dragon's End, the latter two being both wayyyy easier somehow. The only downside with Seitung is that you need to align your lantern run with the Aetherblade meta, because one of the lanterns is inside the boss room. It's best to prepare all lanterns beforehand, get that one, kill the boss, and then log out and back in again to get it again for the next lantern run. This means you are limited to 2 to 2.9 runs per meta max basically, but it's still much faster than the whole map comp.
The lantern runs in Seitung and Kaineng with Blish honestly take no more than 18-20 min each when you're used to them.
I might pin this. This is REALLY good advice. ^
OMG is that dT magic?
0:27 was so funny I immediately subscribed
Some people like short videos. I figured I'd give them the option XD
Oh I missed that you finally made this guild! Thanks man this rules
Happy to help! Lmk if you have any questions!!
For research notes, just make basic maintenance oil. You get a 5 stack of oil per craft and a few research notes per oil. You can get several thousand research notes in about 5 minutes for super cheap.
For the Ambergris, don't forget the second tab of that fishing vendor, he will trade 1 specific rare tier fish for an ambergris each day. If you have done any amount of fishing, keep the rare tier fish for this purpose.
Also, fishing is like one of the best gold making things in the game.
I fish for ambergris sometimes I can get like 10 an hour
^ You can ofc alternate Fishing w/ Grabbing Levi spawns too. If you don't like Fishing or are just Levi Farming by itself it's a fairly terrible gold/hour tho, which is why I didn't mention it! Solid Tip tho on the 2nd Tab!! 😄
You’ve got me as a subscriber. Thank you for sharing this! ❤
Welcome! Lmk if you have any questions or if I can help at all!! 😄
there's some really solid advice in this vid, and in the comments here. ty
I'm just happy people seem to be getting a lot out of the video! ^^
Hadn't realized just how many researh notes you get from stat changing ascended weapons/armor. Turned all my useless bank ascended gear into almost 10k notes in minutes. That was great advice for everyone even if not crafting legendaries.
No problem. I suspect it works because 4-stat gear gives more notes "for reasons" and Grieving just happens to be the easiest/cheapest one! 😄
Yeah Gen 3's have been my gold maker in the last year. I have a similar daily routine as you but I do the 2 hearts in New Kaineng which can be done rather fast, also do the Trial of Elders mini dungeon in Dragon's End which grant a jade runestone and couple writs from map rewards, I recommend a bursty build with cleave just use raptor swipe to gather mobs together and it should take like 3 min.
Agreed! & Map Comp isn't that hard. Power builds always reign supreme for clearing stuff. There's also another Jade Chest in a cave at the end of Echovald. But I left of b/c it requires moving + killing a champ. 🤣
Thank you for the well constructed and thought out guide :D
Glad it was helpful! Was suggested by a viewer, and I'm 100% not about gatekeep knowledge. So let me know if there's more you guys want!! 😁
WUT. Bruv this video is SO GOOD! Definitely do more!! lol
Will try to!! Lmk if there's anything specific you want advice on 😄
I have three pay piggies so I made 30k gold in less than a day with just a snap of my fingers.
Dang, tell me yo secrets lol
@@GW2Pseudo Its feet pic brother.
There are 3 that give Jade in Wilds 2 are near the portal in Quarry Forelands 1 up (gives 1-2) and 1 down in a tunnel (gives 1) that opens after you do an achievement and the other is just a few clicks north in Melandru's Hope up in the trees (gives 1) near the POI. I get about 3-4 Jade from wilds.
Plug for this ^ Comment if you need more Jade. I was showing off the *parking only* ones b/c this was that most common question I got. But not everyone has that many alts either. So this is a Solid Tip!!
For the research notes, when I salvage exotic gear for ectos and they drop the inscription/insignia every now a then, I keep them and use them to stat change ascended gear dropped from FOTM/Raids and salvage them for research pages. It could be another way to maximize the usage of a piece of gear.
Something Something only plays for fun, negative blah blah!
This guy's a Real One btw. ^ 😄
Thats soooo true. Selling legendary is the best. The moment i sold my first gen 3 legendary i never feel poor again.
Mhmmm, Even for those looking to keep them I find this is GREAT to make-1-sell-1 to fund them! 😄
The Arborstone HP guy is also bugged in the way that it doesn't always give rewards. And if you didn't get the reward the first time, you won't get it at all that day.
I genuinely hadn't noticed that either. I have no reason to think it would, but Do you know if it fixes if you switch characters?
You just have to cycle through the characters, I think the diminishing returns feature affects it somehow. So if you don't get it on a char, use another one for a while.
This used to be an issue for me in the beginning like Kiimii mentioned I think this HP is affected by diminishing returns if you use the same character and don't map swap a couple times. I've just use my main who of course map swaps a lot because I use for several things ingame and never had that issue again.
@@TheKiimii Might be why i have never seen this happen. I use the same char for every HP + a few hearts in Cantha daily. DR never has a chance to kick in.
I have definitely seen the diminishing returns effect on the Arborstone HP that others have experienced. I find one of my characters can do the HP for a about a week before they stop getting the reward and I need to switch to another one. It seems it often was has to be one who hasn't done it for at least a couple of weeks, but I haven't kept track of the times.
It's very odd to hear other people do not experience this, I guess this NPC really is bugged.
Bro I knew this video would pop off but this is 🔥🔥🔥 PLEASE Make more guides!
No, because: more guides = more people doing that = prices go down = no gold.
@@sw-gsNot necessarily. For farms yes. But I've been telling people this for about 10m now and nothing's changed. Imperial Favor still hard-locks these. Check the supply on the TP 00:20 if you don't believe me. 😄
There's a couple more Jade Runestone chests in Echovald, each with a guaranteed drop rate (4 that I know of before getting into the mini dungeons). So the "maybe" on the chest at 3:43 isn't necessary at all when you can guarantee a drop elsewhere.
I know there are some that require "minimal effort" but I wasn't aware of more that were parking-only. If so I'd love to know where they are & I can pass it on!! Maybe on the wiki somewhere that I missed! 😄
@@GW2Pseudo UA-cam isn't a fan of linking things, but youtube search connorconcarne's jade runestone farm and you'll find it!
It is wiki-able also, but not very easily because the chests have different names.
Since i came back to the game 2 years ago i made 90 legendary items. Video like this help a lot of new and returning players. I find spirit shards and imperial favor the main bottlenecks to Gen 3 weapons.
90 legendaries in two years? That’s like 4-5 a month??? How tf
It's really not that hard if you're constantly selling a few + have the IF. The trick is really the last part. Hence the guide on how I do it. -- I've even been learning a lot of other people's optimizations from the comments as well!
Don't each of these weapons require a large amount of essences of luck? How do you go about getting those?
Solid Question: I stock up every Lunar New Years, via opening Red Envelopes. You can also farm it via salvaging ectos into dust if you're in a hurry. But with the Holidays this close I'd probably just wait! 🤣
One time i didnt have gold, barely 200, as almost all players. Then by lucky chance of ultimate Destiny, i got the invis shoes from a TM and sold them. With that much gold i made my first Legendary Sunrise, and sold it, with that gold i made Howler to keep it and another Sunrise. From that, gold comes easy, i got lucky, but the point is. Invest.
Whether you make your "first big $ item" through rng or just grinding mats for your first Legendary, It's a really not a bad idea to follow this philosophy. Buy mats and keep re-investing in making more stuff to sell. :D
Super interesting about the EoD legendaries! I have over 76k Imperial Favour.. time to burn through it, lol!
Bruh do ittttttt. Literally no better time than this Tuesday! 😂
You only need 30 Cantha map completions to burn it all.
@@JoseValdeolivar Yo, with the make 1+sell 1 strategy that'l basically funds the entire set!! 😄
I made around 100k gold combined over the last 1year and i mostly just afk around doing nothing, chatting with friends or wasting all that earned gold on gemstore stuff and decorating. Sold around 100-110 GoC's over the course of 1 year.
Dang considering most actual gold farms' in this game are all around 30g/hr you should definitely make a video showcasing your afk-ing methods! I bet a lot of people would dig it!! 😄
@@GW2Pseudo I'm just going half the way that guy does in his video. I assemble all the account bound materials like Gift of Battle, the clovers, the Blessings but instead of investing my time to farm up ASS, Runestones etc or losing profit by buying those i just sell the GoC to a baron. Thus my only timegates are Spiritshards, Gift of Battle (Still have a good handful of them laying around) and having to do Aetherblade, Aspenwood and Dragon's End Meta to get those lanterns. Gift of Battle i highly recommend using Reward Track boosters to speed up that process by almost trippling the reward progress gasin with said boosters. Same goes with Spiritshards. Do things like AB Bauble farm or Dragonfall with XP boosters for quick Spiritshard gains. If i wasn't a lazy bug i could assemble 1-2 GoC's per week and thus make about 1800-1900g/week.
I think 110 GoC should be worth around 71,500g ?
@@fewfield6618 Nop. 110 GoC @ 950 is 104.500g
What does GoC stand for?
yea, since I crafted myself a lot of legendary and convert ascended stuff, I have almost no spirit shards the whole time XD. That, Clovers and Mystic coins are always the problem, the rest is easy to get
Yup you just always gotta be on it' after you get rolling. I logged in today literally just to put boosters on each of the PvX characters I play just so I don't forget! ^^
Thanks for the video! Ive recently gotten into the leggy journey. Conpleted Frostfang a month ago and finally got full ascended everything else. However, now I've burned all my spirit shards. What's your recommended method to build them back up?
Hey thanks for asking!
Always, *Always* run any boosters/fireworks/cheap xp food that you can. Head to the wiki and look up "XP-Maxing" and gauge which make sense monetarily for your general play. | Pro tip you can just auto-click through fireworks btw. if you click on them in your inventory while mounted. | Don't skimp on switching which XP buff you're rocking, for whichever game mode(s) you play from the guild hall, get those amulet enrichments, etc. -- If you enjoy more than 1 game mode you may want to set up a character for each. If you don't have the candy corn gobbler (or either the XMas/Dragon Bash Gobblers - get one or the other of these last 2: they don't stack but will with the candy corn one) get them in Oct./Dec. when those festivals roll around. They are INFINATELY worth their gemstore price.
Also don't try to "rush" spirit shards, unless you have a bunch of Tomes of Knowledge built up, it'll be next to impossible to bash up more than 100 or so. So you need to make sure that while you're "Playing the Game" aka Map Completion, PvP, WvW, Raids, Fractals, Whatever that you're maximizing your time there! | Hope this helps & lmk if I can help with anything else specific!! ^^
@@GW2Pseudo Thanks for the response! I do some of that, but will definitely look into the fireworks and I already saved up enough to get the candy corn gobbler next month. Got the candy node last week :) Thanks again for your help!
@@beautiful_upgrades Not a problem! Always feel free to ask if you have any other questions 😄
How come i'm not getting writs from Tsuko in arborstone? been like this for a few days now. I get nothing from beating it.
It's bugged in like 4 different ways aparantly. I read in this section that if you already tagged it' but didn't do enough dmg to get credit, or if you're not the one to actually pop it' sometimes it won't give you credit until you can pop it. Haven't verified at all, but maybe try swapping characters you have there and see too. 😄
How would I make the money to buy your legendaries?
Buy mine? I just list the ones I made lol :D
Nice, next year I'll be able to buy those legendaries from you guys for super cheap
Don't count on it too much unless ANet puts Imperial Favor in the Vouchers or the Legendaries themselves in the WV. -- I've been telling people this method openly for over a year and it hasn't affected the price or supply one iota. I think they actually went up at one point. -_-
@@GW2Pseudo Haha fair, although I'd rather have fun & do some pvp and earn 20k a year rather than grind repetitive pve things :p No offense, just preference
@@Apoz ofc ofc, I mostly WvW roam -- part of why I have Gifts of Battle to make Legys at all 😄

Make1Sell1. One you do/sell the first (as painful as that is) it's astonishingly easy to make more. If for no other reason than the process becomes much less daunting imo.
This would be really interesting if I wasn't trying to make Aurene legendaries for myself. Just burned all my gold for one. >_>
Pssssttt: Sell it. Then make it again 🤣
Not sure how many you get from ascended items in research notes, the Draconic Helms will give you 25 per an on occasion, will give 75 but, this route is extremely expensive.
I made 260 gold from sPVP in 1 Year. Here's how
Where do u get your Spirt Shards nowadays?
Either Maxed-out experience boosters PvE, or same with WvW Roaming! Like I said I'm perpetually short on them too & had to actually eat ~120 tomes to finish a Gen 3 Torch for a Friend last night. XD
He is not wrong. I went from 700g to 3k in like 5 days selling 3 gen 3 legendary. For me personally the hardest currency to halt me is spirit shards. Imperial favors are easly gotten, 3 of the EOD metas can net you like 500 imperial favors or more. You lose more profit if you buy the precursor from the tradepost but id recommend doing that since you save on 1500 imperial favors.
Yup. Spirit Shards "are plentiful until they aren't." So don't sleep on this, especially if you have a lot/tomes to start! 😄
I recently ran into this road block with SS and decided that it was worth it to max exp boosts and add Griffon adventures to the routine (15-16 shards a day in 20 mins av). Highly recommended if you don’t have much time to play the game!
@@ArtuKam Yup I've done a similar thing with xp stuff lately. It definitely helps. Don't forget em' in the new maps to blast through your masteries too!! 😁
@@ArtuKam How are you getting 15-16 SS with those griffin adventures. I have tried the adventures with all the xp boosters i can, i place gold and at the end i barely get over 4 from the xp. Did all the main ones in PoF maps.
@@chosendew7268 required boosters:
- Well rested (25%, keep character parked in arborstone for at least 4 hours while you're offline)
- Exp Booster (50%, from Candy Corn Gobbler)
- Festival Blessing (25% from Zhaitaffy or Snow Globe)
- Guild Exp Gain (10% from a Guild Hall)
- Ascended food (5%)
- Enlightenment (20%, do Heart in Seitung training ground - will last 6 hours)
You also need to level up empowerment for each PoF Season 4 map for an extra 30% for each adventure. I also use Lucky Fire Crackers and New Years Blessings but without them you should easily still manage 14-15 from the 15 adventures per day (4 x core maps, 4 x season 4 maps).
Great video.. is it best using a new character for map completion or use an older character and get the lanterns?
People have actually asked me this a lot and I genuinely can't answer. I've never done the lantern route, and didn't even know it was a thing until someone pointed it out on one of my streams like a year ago. But if Blish or Tekkit has a plugin for it I'd definitely try it & see!
im more interested about your controller setup at the start of the video - do you have a video on that?
I use a combination of XPadder (For main mappings that you see) + REWASD (Exclusively for the 4 elite controller bottom paddles.) & No formal video on it yet, (I know I have to make one.) But I have a Short where I roll through my mappings: ua-cam.com/video/dvPOy4WfD7w/v-deo.htmlsi=1TTx3thONkwAt1jQ

Really well made video, thanks for spreading the secret knowledge 😄 I recently came back to the game after a year long hiatus, and was thinking about crafting a gen 3 legendary for myself, since I have most of the materials, but now I am considering making one and selling it to start the cycle of crafting, selling, and making profit 😅
You mentioned to try and list the legendaries during festivals and such, thou I would imagine that now would be a great time as well. Do you sell only through TP, or have you tried trading communities like Overflow and such? How long do you usually have to wait for a legendary to sell?
It's not a secret (Entirely why I made the video/stream: I'm not a fan of gate-keeping.) & Use the TP, especially for the cycle of Make-1-Sell-1. Just be patient to list during / before content spikes or patches. It's also a good idea to see which builds get updated with what weapon/are popular on Snowcrows, even if there isn't a new weapon. | For example: If you see Axe/Axe+Spear Berserker just dropped (I made this up) and people are enjoying it for PvE, your port of call should probably be an Axe over say, a Greatsword! :D
Please can you do a controller guide? Especially PVP and targeting etc. I recently got ROG ally X so that I can game in bed/on the couch. Could be awesome to see how you set stuff up and tips and tricks.
Working on an official one, but: I use a combination of XPadder (For main mappings that you see) + REWASD (Exclusively for the 4 elite controller series 2 bottom paddles.) & No formal video on it yet, (I know I have to make one.)

thanks for the video, but what i was hoping for is an overview over the amount of hours it takes and maybe also a g/h :)
Thanks! It's at the end. Sorry if that was unclear. Probably 4 total of you have a fast computer for loading HPs and rush map comp. That's like 200g/h even if you include the crafting time. 😁 It just also includes patience to spread it out over a couple days ofc.
I always hear this kind of thing (selling gen 3 weapon for huge gold) but in the back of my mind i was like, that's look kinda troublesome. But after many months or just 3 weeks ago i craft 3 gen 3 weapon and its not that bad at all but instead of selling it i use it why? because its shiny XD
But im 200g away for another gen 3 weapon and this time i plan to sell it to fund my leggy crafting addiction thats the plan i came up months ago, so thanks for reminding me :3
No problem! Wait till Tuesday & get it up if you can! -- You can always check the TP to see which ones are in high demand/low supply if you're crafting to sell as well! 😄
ok having lot of gold is great, I have 6 legendaries... Is there anything to grind for in this game? or have I basically beat the game... I am looking for something INTERESTING to grind, but from what I see there isn't anything?
GW2 Is the ultimate "Pick your direction and dive in it" Game, but it's notoriously bad at telling you any of those directions' exist. Like at all. Usually people are looking for more content' that appeals to them. But if the grind' is what appeals to you I can always recommend finishing the Armor+Sitils+Runes+Relic+Trinkets. 😄

hey awesome video, ive been tryna find guide or a way to make gold, and this really finally simplified it down for me enough so i understood mostly all of it. but my question is how do i get started on it like lets say im starting on below 1k. so do i just save up and craft 1 legendary then sell it and start the process over again with that gold? or do i need to gain gold first, (is it like you need money to get more money type of deal?)
Glad you enjoyed it & Thanks for asking!! I know it's tempting to not do this but if you're limited on play time: Just get the cheap gold / mystic coins / laurels (use for T4 mats usually,) from the Wizard's Vault Dailies, and list + Sell them. Each rotation this should net you a good 300 gold or so.
If you can swing it tho (& have the time) you can always work through Core Tryia map completion and make + sell whatever Gen 1 Legendary is hot' from the VW Legendary Starter kit (always wait to select which until you can craft it fully.) -- For instance the Spear is relatively New/Still selling really well so I'd go in on that & it should bump you another 800-1K or so! Also if you're worried about the listing fee/times try to time it with larg(er) releases. For instance there's a Balance Patch coming up on the 8th, so there's a good chance there will be more people playing around this time. | Also shameless plug for my Monday Streams at 9pm ET here on YT & Twitch! I give away gold every week, and lots of its pure rng. :D | Hope it helps & let me know if you have any questions!! ^^

Isn't selling the raw materials more lucrative? I was looking at the cost of making one and it was like 2450, so I decided to put in a bid for 2050 instead, and got it. Did i miss something?
Crafting it into leggy effectively gives your account bound currencies a gold value.
What the previous commenter said. ^ But which legendary were you looking at specifically I'm curious? The API's down rn because of the Expansion Release this week & I can take a look at it when it's back up. But there's no way the prices should fluctuate that much.
What really matter is the fact the game is NOT pay to win and has no subscription! That is the best part!
It really is! GW2 is really a great mmo that doesn't hate your wallet imo. :D
I must say i feel there is something wrong with this method of goldmaking. I mean few content creators reccomend it and still not many players are taking this path... My top guess is that putting 2k gold item on tp where you could stuck for weeks is too intimidating for most players.
That's a fair point, and the listing fee is a hit it's true. But even insta-selling gen 3's you still make a profit. Smaller but still worth it. -- As I showed at the beginning 00:20 there's actually very few "of any gen 3" ever available. Which I always thought was weird for the longest time. But I have to assume that's down to Imperial Favor gating.
@@GW2Pseudo Here are the Spots:
- Jade Gate Waypoint: Has 2. One above the Waypoint and one below the bridge by the Waypoint in the cavern to the south.
- Teleri Village: One above guared by a Elite Phenix, however it is insta open, so as long as you do not get infight or have infight skyscale it's free.
- Echovald Wilds Insight: Fort Aspenwood: One, Guarded by and Elite Tengu. However he is too slow, if you press f to open while in mount stealth (99% of the time).
With a bit of training, all can be easily done by 1 Char an a bit of Griffon and Skyscale skills.
(Fixed Typo)
@@ProfBits Nice, thanks!! I knew about the other 2, but I'll check the Teleri Village one! Not everyone has "all of the alts in the world" to park everywhere either. So I'll be sure to pass these on to the people asking!!
My bet is how boring this all look. God bless the people who put legendary gear on the auction but you could pay me 500 USD and I wouldn't do all that. Been playing gw2 for decades and clicked on that randomly because I was wondering how some people make so much money. Never mind, I'm happy with my current hoard of 63 gold.
@@Horrormane I am pretty sure if you just make gem to gold convertion gen 3 leggy should be about 100 usd. But i am more incline to think that most buyers just farm the gold. The point where you basicly can only spend your gold on leggys or skins is on 500-1000 hours of the game and most active players have much more than that.
If you make 26k Gold just out of aurene leggys, this means ~20 leggys in a year. This also means there is a LOT you need to do outside of your daily routine (as described here).
2000 Jade runstones ( 5,5 per day is doable with alts)
2000 chunks of ambergris/ antique summoning stones (most of them have to be bought, but you mentioned that)
20 Gift of Battle ( 40-80 hours of WvW depending on boosters)
*AND* 4000 spirit shards
I don`t doubt that you can make 200 spirit shards in 2 weeks, but this needs maybe not extensive, but at least properly playing the game.
Of course most users don`t want to craft that many legendaries and might have enough spirit shards anyway, but it should be mentioned imo, that eventually spirit shards become quite gated of you mass produce legendaries for profit.
However you glossed over the need of spirit shards, which makes me wonder, whether your supply if practically endless, due to years of playing and not spending spirit shards, or whether you just did not include the need of playing the game for them, because of viewership?
Spirit shards is furthermore another argument to buy precursors on TP, because otherwise you would need 50 spirit shards more per legendary.
I WvW a lot. Clearly I am out of spirit shards now. XD Experience boosters obviously help, but shards do perpetually gate you and I mention that in the crafting section around 12:00.
@@GW2Pseudowell that explains how you get your gifts and spirit shards. But it is still not in the video. For a few legendaries most player will have spirit shards on hand, but with masteries this might not even be the case for relatively new players.
Yeah but, you really think no one would notice that the length of this video is 1337? If you know you, you know haha
I may or may not have had to re-render/upload this like 4 times to get it to show up that way too ... XD
"#AnetThings" lmao
Pretty muuuuuuuuuch... 😆
Like the vid!! Is it possible to order legendaries from u ?
Me? I'm probably not the best. (Seeing as I'm perpetually gated on Spirit Shards lol.) Otherwise I have about 5 gifts of Cantha I'd love to burn through! -- Maybe hit up the one dude, like 4 comments up who said they have 76K Imperial Favor to use up tho! I can't officially endorse it. But the GW2 community's pretty quality peeps in general. 😄
@@GW2Pseudo thanks👍🏾
By order you mean to give the materials to the person so they can craft it using the mats u don't have?
@@Sac-chan depends on which ones .
I ran nearly 60k Liquid Gold and now i had to decide to buy every skin under 80 Gold......
But the truth is written in your tHUmbnail: don't waste your time!
Go out!
True! The Best Farm is always: Not Playing Videogames' lol 😄
Yeah, I’m not wasting my time on that game anymore
There's 0 reason to have that much gold, there's 0 reason to farm that much. It's hell of your own making.
With that much gold you not even playing the game anymore. You just a dragon with lots of gold.
A Dragon that gives out his money every week. A very very lazy dragon lol 😆
imagine the amount of butter he can buy with that gold tho
idk why butter is that expensive, must be a gamer thing
I have 4 EOD precursors sitting in my bank for 4+ months because I can’t tolerate WvW. It’s incredibly boring. I’d rather collect talvar stones in imperial city..
Different people like different things ofc. But I used to hate it until I discovered build crafting. I'd offer to buy them from you, but maybe stacking all of the boosts with the new rested' Homestead Reward track buff will help you blitz em' 😄
@@GW2Pseudo I'm going in there regardless. I've spent a lot of time in PvP because it is more fast paced. I queue, i fight. I wish there were more map teleports to large keeps like in ESO, but I get why they don't.
@@NDfeerer10 100% Get that too. Running back' is probably the worst part. Playing highly mobil stuff helps. But I still find myself wishing that ANet had landed on a faster WvW Warclaw with less health as more of a mobility too. Would add more value & counterplay too imo.
Absolutely no offence directed at you but ofc it’s legendary selling haha i was hoping for something else because i don’t want to use my legendary resources to make gold when i want to make the legendaries for myself lol and thus looking for more ways to make gold to craft the legendaries 😅but hey if you ever need spirit shards, i have 3-4k all the time ;)
None taken! If you start using those Legendary Resources I guarantee you won't have that much anymore lol. Whether it's selling the legendaries directly or using the mats to either promote ups' or negotiating trades through trading discords account bound Resources are some of the most lucrative in the game. But if you don't want to divest yours, I'd recommend Silhouette's vid on each method. There's no secret farm that's more than about 30g/h -- Because they rapidly become non-secrets. Only the ones that people have created for themselves. See above video ^. So look at what you have & think "What can I do with this." Especially come Tuesday! 😁
Alot of effort equals alot of money, i made one just to see how bad the crafting is, gift of research was most annoying .. getting the exotic luck ;_;
If you have trouble with the luck, and don't have it stashed, Make sure to stock up this Lunar New Year's when you're opening bags!! -- I had been deleting mine, but once I ran through like, 1 LNYs last year I was set!! ^^ Still have a bunch left over for more Legendaries too. 😄
good video music is super loud and distracting compared to your voice though
TY & Appreciate the tip. It's at -30DB so it might be down to what you're listening on. Some phone speakers crank the highs on tropical house. But I'll note this down for the future!
Another easy GOLD method is to ask me to donate 😄
I give out gold every Monday @ 9pm et! We usually do Trivia. -- Gave out 150g tonight! 😄
@@GW2Pseudo that's a LOTTA Gs
Holy fuck you have got so much of it lol

Bro this Video is 1337!
Did that deliberately, I think you're actually the first one to get it! ^^ ty!
Wait a second are you playing with a controller?????
Mhmmm. Have for 11 Years. Even healed on Harvest Temple CM with it too, works great! Feel free to ask me any questions about the setup if you want! 😄
@@GW2Pseudo oh I’m dying to know how you set that up, I’m having a hard time trying to go through hard rotations on keyboard….with the controller I should be able to perform at 100% since I’m use to controller. You have any videos showing the set up? What software and which controller will work better?
Fair warning: This game is "Good for it. But not really made for controller/portable." -- So chances are you may encounter some quirks like getting stuck' in a control set when you depress/let go of a shoulder button or trigger if that's how you do your mappings. So it's a good idea to set a "Return to set #1 binding as I have on my R3."
But I use a combination of XPadder (For main mappings that you see) + REWASD (Exclusively for the 4 elite controller series 2 bottom paddles.) & No formal video on it yet, (I know I have to make one.) But I have a Short where I roll through my mappings: ua-cam.com/video/dvPOy4WfD7w/v-deo.htmlsi=1TTx3thONkwAt1jQ And I plan to make my GW2 binding files exported/downloadable as well in my newer videos.
Both of my XPadder files should be downloadable from the GDrive link in any of my video descriptions! (& Since ANet added the ability to Export/Import your GW2 mappings) I'll be adding mine to that folder as well! *Altho definitely back up yours first!
I know this 100% doesn't supplant an actual video! But if you have any specific questions I'll do my best to respond and/or add them to said video. 😄 Chances are other people will be wondering the same thing!
Lemme hold a couple
As soon as you hear the words "Gift of Battle" ... oh well, never mind then.
Same. I despise WvW. I built 4 leggys with it and I won't do it again. I now just farm and sell all of the other materials needed for leggy crafting and buy what one I want.
@@KenMagee :grins: It is good to know I am not the only one to choose to walk such a path :)

It's actually on sale right now if that helps! ^^
ok............and if i don't have EoD? :D
why do you want to make tons of gold in a game that you dont care enough about to spend 25 - 40 bucks on?
You can still sell gen 1 legendaries.
@@user-xo2og8kv1oWizard's Vault enables near 100% profit from core legendaries. Map Comp just takes longer. Also EoD was recently down to $15 on sale. Pretty worth it, if not just for this "gold farm" imo. 😁
or you can just work extra in real life buy gems and make 25k gold for 1000euros faster than farm for months
Truly, the greatest farm in videogames: Not playing videogames. 😄
@@GW2Pseudo 😂😂😂
I’m sorry but that background music is absolutely unbearable
Hey, if only 1/41,000 people complained about eh music I'll take it. Different people are different, & ya can't please everybody 😄
@ nothing wrong with that opinion, mate
Lol
Oh, i realized in 1 minute i don't even care, i game for fun and not to "make money", bye bye.
Dang Thanks for the view I guess! 😄
too much fuss over legendaries let those sadists who came up with this way of getting legendaries get paid the same way
This guide assumes you have a couple hundred gold lying around even before you start making your legendary to sell. I have no where near that amount of gold or mats required to even attempt something like this lol. I'll remain poor and go back to WvW.
Getting a couple hundred Gold shouldnt be an issue if you play pve acitively and not buy any skins.
Yes, It assumes the Wizard's Vault is in the game 😂
@@luca7675 It is though, I play pve all the time and im poor as a church mouse. Fractals dont help much either.
@@GigglingStoners Then you must be doing sth fundamentally wrong. What i can recommend is making an excel file and recording what you spend your gold on. Also you will have to sell materials to get gold. Guild wars 2 gives almost no direct gold rewards.
@@luca7675 Yeah, I probably am XD. Not about make spreadsheets about it though. Thanks anyway!
It is amazing to me how 4 years pass and people continue to use Tekkit's stuff after he spewed such racist (about George Floyd) and transphobic stuff, lost his anet partnership, and p[eople continue to excuse it.
I'm not a fan either. Is there an alternative module pack that I can recommend? I think the BLISH HUD UI defaults to downloading his. Maybe a community-created one?
why should ppl care? even if hitler himself was a player and created something useful most ppl would still use it, bc the product doesn't represent the creator.
Therefore is stupid to say "hey, the person who made this incredible useful thing is a bad person, so don't use it".
Not possible for me, cause i´m always need Ghostshards. I use every XP-Booster all the time, for every content. Doing 6-10 Meta Map Events per day, daily fractals and some other stuff, but dont get enough ghost shards
Yeah definitely hear you there. Once I started doing this regularly I ran out wayyy quicker than I thought I would as I mentioned around the end @ ~11:00 or so. Boosters help as you mentioned, but the real Spirt Shard Farm' is WvW or PvP with max boosters. Altho I 100% understand that this is most definitely not for everyone ^^
@@GW2Pseudo wvw i get nothing. No loot, no XP. Cause i cant kill anything alone, Always die. And in squads i never get any Hit, so i dont get Partizipation.
The only thong i get i from chest out of Ticks. Bit to get this, u need to Run 1 week for 8hours or more to get wooden Award. Ti get 1 level Up with books in wvw i need 1 week with 4+ hours playing per day. And then i have 0 loot. Waste of time
Mystic CLovers i always get by Mystic Forge. Cause i get same amount like buying on vendors, but get a lot of other mats too.
Biggest Thing is always the WvW thing. I Hate Wvw. staying there for many hours and get nothing loot, just to get the item. so annoying....
Can always treb from a keep or just ask a comm to share participation!! ^^ I wish I could help you more. If it makes you feel any better my rng with clovers is absolutely awful lol
