Jarl Petter Hinrik.1409 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I hear a lot of players mentioning gold as it was peanuts... It makes me laugh because I've been a player since guild wars 2's launch and the most gold I ever had in my wallet at a time was 17 gold, lol. I seem to always find a way to spend my hard-earnt cash on who knows what... I feel I will get 250 gold for the griffon in 5 years maybe and the legendary in 10? ;P What about you, fellow casual players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Just over 1300 so that I could buy the title and still keep ~300 on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 1,981 gold is my record. Short version: I sold a legendary. I'd made The Dreamer back before precursor crafting was anything more than a rumour and after crafting the precursor for the Bifrost I decided I really wanted to craft The Lover too. But selling the precursor would actually lose me money and I had no use for a 2nd Dreamer. So I decided to make it and sell it. Of course the 'downside' is because it took me so long to make it I had plenty of time to plan how to spend the gold. I had that 1,981 literally just long enough to take a screenshot of my wallet and about 30 minutes later I was down to 500g, and that was taking my time. I bought all 15 Istani mount skins, a bunch of mini pets and some dyes. I'm saving that last 500g because for the last few years early August is when I start saving up for the now seemingly inevitable insanely expensive Halloween mini pet - like Oxidecimus the Shadow Raven or Gwynefyrdd. (The alternative was grinding The Labyrinth until I never wanted to see it again, but that made me hate what was one of my favourite festivals.) This way I don't have to go out of my way to save up or grind for it. And if there isn't a crazy-expensive Halloween mini, or I don't need 500g to get it? I'm sure I'll be able to find something to spend it on. Normally I'm very much the type of person who saves up only until I can afford the next thing I want. I've been playing the game since launch and at least twice I got down to literally nothing in my wallet. I've lost count of how many times I've dropped below 1g. And I'm sure it'll happen again. I'm certainly not going to sell legendaries on a regular basis. And if you're curious I've made 3 legendaries - 2 Dreamers and a Bifrost. The first took me 13 months and the shortest was about 7 months. That was just playing normally, about 2-3 hours a day at most, and with minimal time spent farming because I hate doing it. I got the gold for the griffon last Wintersday by selling all the presents I got on the TP. It is a lot of money and I wouldn't say it's easy to make 250g normally, but opportunities can come up, or if you're willing to be patient you can save up. Which is easier to do for the griffon because it's not one payment of 250g, it's 10 lots of 25g, so you can just buy one item whenever you get to 25g.

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The key to having a lot of gold in the wallet is ... not to spend. This game throws loot at us constantly. The only things that don't earn anything are chatting and sneezing. (That's only a slight exaggeration.) * Don't impulse buy * Do sell anything you can't use. * Do ask for tips about what to salvage, who should open champ bags (and which ones), whether to sell|open|salvage unID gear, whether to sell|open unID dyes, etc * Don't farm unless you like it (or at least don't mind it). It's an easy road to burnout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfb.7025 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Are you serious OP? Well, maybe you dont really do profitable content on this game, but 17g is absolutely nothing lol i'm more surprised you've been playing since start. The most I've had was like 450g if I remember well, and i've spent a lot of gold on getting some crafting disciplines to lv 500, crafting ascended equipment (cost reduced because I gather materials A LOT) and one 150g commission from a guildie <3 but yeah, the most profitable content I do are Fractals and the mandatory dailies. Also i'm a 3 month old player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I don't remember the exact amount, but somewhere about *4500.* I usually hover around 2000, and the precursor for The Flameseeker Prophecies dropped, so I crafted the legendary and sold it. I also had some infusion sitting around. I wasn't using shields, and the infusion did nothing for me, so sold them both. Like Danikat, I immediately bought Permanent Merchant and Bank, a decision I've appreciated ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and actually even less days than that once you factor in selling mystic coins, ascended mats etc from login rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people don't enjoy farming meta-events over and over and over. I spend most of my time doing the personal story (on multiple characters), map completion and other things which don't make much money. If I don't feel like doing the dailies it's not uncommon for me to make less than 1g a day, even on days when I play a lot. If I wanted to I could make a lot more than that because I am aware of where & how to farm gold. But I find it extremely boring so unless I really want a lot of gold in a short time I'd rather not do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalendraf.9521 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Before I crafted my first legendary, I had close to 2200 gold in my wallet. Since then, I crafted 3 legendaries and started outfitting characters with ascended armors and weapons, and it steadily fell all the way down to around 670g. Recently, I've tried to hold off on doing much more crafting and by selling some mats during the Four Winds Festival I'm back over 800g. That still feels rather light, and I'd definitely prefer to get back up over 1K, or even 2K again. My main tip for saving up gold? Don't spend it. It's that simple. After that, it's just a matter of finding ways to accumulate the gold in the first place. One very simple option is to do you dailies religiously - that's a free 2g per day. After a year that adds up to 730g right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taygus.4571 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Most I've had is about 250 g. I rarely keep more than 120g in the wallet now..as every time I go over a hundred, I buy gems or something that I want ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overlord RainyDay.2084 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 2200 after I sold my Bifrost. I built it, let it collect dust in my bank for 6 months, then realized I didn't want it any more. So I sold it, invested half the money into my guild, bought all the whispers, priory, and vigil weapons, enough tier 3 cultural armor for the title, and bought the rest of the amalgamated gems I needed to finish a gen2 legendary. I was back to around 100, where I usually hover, in less than a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mea.5491 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I had a little over 17k once. Right now I'm down to 11k because I made my Firebrand fancy and stocked up on Gems for the anniversary sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante.1763 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Around 1000, not once but twice, the first time(and i still do this) each time i get 100g over 200g(so 300g on my account) i place a buy order for 200g on the trading post and forget it. The second time i won big at the ecto gambler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game of Bones.8975 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I had ~2000 after purging my bank of all sell-able items and mats. I think I bought Incinerator with that. Every few months I purge my acct for the fun of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
