Casual, open world play gives little gold. We have all played on and off since launch. I have no idea what content gives 1,000s of gold. I have basically only played after HoT launch, still got 12k+. Most of it is from selling legendaries, though fractals and raids actually make decent money as well. There's the occasional lucky drop too, but they are so infrequent they hardly make a difference in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardid.7203 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Around 750 gold, after I sold the Permanent Merchant Contract i got from a BLC. Now I'm back at my usual 120 something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagaliscious.6281 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Well I just got the 10,000 gold chak infusion, so a little over 9,000 gold, which happened today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual, open world play gives little gold. We have all played on and off since launch. I have no idea what content gives 1,000s of gold. You’re probably not going to make much gold with unfocused casual play. Making gold requires choosing to play content/do activities that generates gold, such as high level fractals, multiple dungeon runs, farming, certain meta events, etc. For myself, while I play pretty casually I also set aside time most days to do specific content that I know is profitable. What I do varies but I make sure I do my daily and some other sort of gold generating content. Of course this isn’t for everyone as many would rather just log on and play without a schedule or making plans, however they don’t have to do profitable content that they don’t enjoy, and it is nice to see the gold come in so you can buy things you want.

Kalendraf.9521 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 > @"eldrjth.7384" said: > I just saw [this](https://gw2efficiency.com/account/statistics/values.summary.value "https://gw2efficiency.com/account/statistics/values.summary.value") graph when looking for something on GW2efficiency. It shows gold per hour spent playing against other players. I thought I was doing okish tbh but im on the average gold amount per hours spent playing. I have 9 chars in full ascended gear and 11 sets of ascended though and dont buy gems with money. Overall account value is a very different measurement than raw gold on hand since it factors in a lot of other items of value. For the purpose of this thread, the graph to consider is this one: https://gw2efficiency.com/account/statistics/statistics.gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgy McEdgelord.4790 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Just recently hit 5k liquid and probably around the same in materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I think I made it over 1900 some time recently, definitely over 1800, I was sooooo close to having enough to bid on a permanent hair stylist. But then some gem store things came out that I wanted and I'm doing my best not to drain the rest of my RL bank account into frivolous things so I used gold for gems and tumbled off the giddy heights.

Casual, open world play gives little gold. We have all played on and off since launch. I have no idea what content gives 1,000s of gold. Casual open world play allows people to gather. Gathering gives mats. Selling mats gives money. I bet you anyone playing casually since launch that sells the mats they've accumulated, assuming they bother to gather, would have enough money to buy a griffon.

No matter how casual you are, if you keep half an eye on what mats are selling, and you sell them (iron, softwood, platinum, hardwood, seasoned wood, elderwood, pretty much just sell mats for a while, and you'll have gold. Most casual players who play and gather (and frankly gathering is like end game for most people in my guild), you'd end up with enough money to buy a griffon or close to it.

Westenev.5289 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 If I get over 300g at any one time, I know something's wrong, because I'm a compulsive spender. :p I did manage to save up enough to buy the lover once, though!\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gehenna.3625 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I've probably never made it past 700G but I only play for a few months at a time, so I just buy some gems to exchange for some gold cause I generally get stuck around 200G. However, I did buy indestructible gathering tools and I gather a lot more right now. Once I've gotten my ascended armour set together for my main (which will take a few weeks because of crafting restrictions - you can only make some things once a day), I might start making a bit more. All in all, the game has finally grown on me a bit. Having some achievable goals does help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannir.4132 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 About +550g maybe but then I got comm tags and a griffin. Money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual, open world play gives little gold. We have all played on and off since launch. I have no idea what content gives 1,000s of gold. Have they ever had 25g? If so then they've had enough to get the griffon. That's all you need - save up 25g, buy 1 item for the collection, save up 25g, buy another item...do it 10 times and you're done. Or done with the part which costs gold anyway, you still need to find the eggs and the other items but that doesn't cost anything. You don't have to do it all in one go either, you can take however long you want or need because you don't lose progress if you stop working on it for a bit. And like a lot of people have said you can make a lot of gold by selling crafting materials, which is something literally anyone in this game can do. Making gold in GW2 is almost never about finding an item which is worth 1000s of gold - they're worth so much because you can't get them reliably. Instead it's about selling lots of things for little bits of gold (or silver or copper) which add up over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashabhi.1365 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I average about 50g. I spend, then make, then spend again. THe most I've ever had is somewhere around 400g. I should also say that I am an ultra casual player. I know I could make more, but why? This is a game. It's meant to help me relax. If I worried about how much gold I had in my wallet all the time, I'd be a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwake.7013 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I believe my max was just under 2.5k gold after selling a trading post perma contract I got from a key. I also had been saving a bit getting ready to make Nevermore at the time. Also note something that's undervalued, is when waiting for a world boss or any timed event to spawn in on a map in pve.... just run around the map while waiting and node farm. When I do teq or leyline dude, and am waiting 10m or so I will just loop the map and make 3-5g after doing most of the wood and nodes. Not really mid/maxing but more stuff to do a gap filler.

Rasta.2371 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 8500 gold, after getting lucky on a chak infusion. I did not want to risk a third party to trade for it, could have been 17.5k+. Had to merch half my materials to even pay for the black lion fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
