What is the best way to earn gold ( farming fine/rare crafting materials , salvage rare items for globs of ectoplasm , use trading post with some method ) i want methods working 100%

[BrettM]

Has it occurred to you that if there were such a thing as an easy way to earn lots of gold that worked 100% there would be one heck of a lot more wealthy players than there are? Or that if there is such a thing, the fact that it isn't well known means that it's a secret that is not going to be told to just anyone who asks?

You want 100% and easy? Go to the Gem Store. Give ANet a few hundred dollars and get gems. Sell gems for gold through currency exchange. Profit.

Do all 3 paths of AC catacombs with omnomberry bar, thats about 4g per day.

Do CoF path 2, then speed run path 1 as many times as you can, you get molten cores, and you can use all the tokens you get to buy the rare armor from the dungeon vendor and salvage them for Ectos.

Do Fractals, on average you get 2-3 rare's per level, and the chest from the bonus fractal nearly always gives some kind of core.

those are safe ways to make gold.
Just depends how much you do it.

-learn economics and play the trading post.  I can't go into details cause I don't know it very well, and giving away my money makers is only going to hurt me overall.
-as sans said, run AC with omnom bars.  easy 4g for a daily clear, get a bunch of tokens to outfit alts in full exotic armor and weapons
-running CoF/HotW/CoE/Arah.  make cash for sales and such like AC, but can also trade in tokens for rare armors and salvage for ecto and sell the ecto.
-mine all ori nodes in game and sell the ore on every level 80 character you have.  get all the mithril along the way and sell that too
-grind through fractals to level 10+ and profit as no PvE content currently has better rewards.  you'll make ok money leveling through as well.
-buy gems and trade them in for gold

that's about the extent of your options.  have fun.

Wealth is subjective, many players have 20-30g in their banks but they can't do much with it due to INFLATION.

ok guys i will try ...

As some players have stated, doing AC nets ~4g per hour, but you can do this for 10h straight, there is only DR on the tokens, not on the gold you get.

And if you got some starting capital (20g minimum) you can use the TP to make gold.

CoF farms are where it's at imo. Farm path1 for an hour can easily net you between 6-10 gold

Are you sure, because after 1 hour of farming i usually get 2 silver and not 26 silver for the reward for completing the path (you know in the same window that give you the Tokens). Also the DR are affecting the drop rate of all the loot so you make a little bit less money. But its true that the money you get from the boss, which is the money making from dungeons, is not affected by the DR. CoF path 1 is still profitable, but the price of Molten Core dropped drastically since this farm became general knowledge.

just make them into lodestones and sell the lodestones for 80 silver each.

I calculate this already and for about 150 skill point you can get about 20 Gold with the current price. Its not that great since it get time to collect skill point. But if you already did the world completion and you don't have anything you wanna use your skill point on, go for it.

Yea dungeons are practically the only thing I do in GW2.
And don't do the same path time after time.
For AC just do 1-2-3-1-2-3, you will only get 1 token in the end (you'll still get 3 per boss) but silver isn't affected.
If you repeat same path over and over (CoF p1 farm) then silver will get affected too, because you repeat same path within 30 minutes.

And if you got alts, use those too, the daily token bonus is character bound after all.
I now got 5 characters that can do AC so I can get easy 1000+ tokens on a single day.

Ok thanks. For the moment the only dungeon that i farm for Gold if CoF path 1 so i saw a DR on my money at the end. AC I only do path 1-2-3 and never repeat them in the same day so i never say the difference.
