What's the Best Way to Make Gold in the Game?

-

Hey everyone! I’m curious about which activities in the game yield the most gold. I understand that it really depends on what you enjoy doing since different activities can pay off differently. Here are some options I can think of:
– Battle Grounds
– Crafting Writs
– Dungeons
– Trials
– Tribute
– Scrying/Excavation
– Treasure Hunting
– Thieving

I started playing during the Jubilee event, so I’m a bit lost with what pays well. I’d love to hear what you all think is the best way to earn gold!

I’ve had a blast in the Imperial City! It’s totally underrated for gold-making. I made around 3 million in just a couple of hours by farming Tel Var. There’s a good mix of PVP and PVE there, so it keeps it exciting as well!

GoldDiggerSam -

3 million? That’s insane! What exactly were you doing to make that much?

FarmingGuru98 -

In my experience, daily writs and guild dailies are the best for return on time. They’re quick to complete, and you can get around 10k gold in 20 minutes! Plus, it’s a nice way to stock up on materials for crafting!

CraftersUnion -

Sounds efficient! I might start focusing on that to boost my gold income.

CraftyCrafter99 -

Honestly, daily crafting writs are the way to go! You can earn around 51k gold a day just from turning them in, plus extra from selling items. If you can do this on multiple characters, you can really rake in the gold—think up to 100k if you max out your characters! Plus, it’s a pretty straightforward activity!

TheThievingBard -

Yeah, but I’ve heard that the boxes from other activities like Battlegrounds might offer good rewards too. Could it really be 10 times better than crafting writs?

DungeonDiverX -

If you’re interested in scrying and excavation, just keep in mind that a lot of the stuff you’ll find is account-bound and won’t be sellable. Still, it can be decent fun, and the treasures like motif pages can sometimes be worth it on the market!

TreasureHunter88 -

Yeah, I mostly do it for the thrill rather than the gold. But it’s good to have an idea of what can be sold later!

StealthyThief23 -

Stealing can be pretty lucrative, particularly if you’re good at pickpocketing. I’ve got my thief set up with some killer gear, and I can make between 10k gold an hour. Just make sure to check for high-value plans and only fence the good stuff!

CrafterToon -

That sounds fun! But how do you find the plans you’re after? Is it just luck, or do you have a strategy?
