I see Laranity's scheme here. She's trying to influence as many community members as possible into liquidating their materials and currencies so that the prices of materials plummet with the sudden influx of supply. Then the gold barons will swoop in and buy up all the cheap materials at lower than usual prices until the market stabilizes again and resell them all for normal prices for profit. Then all the gold barons will owe Laranity favors because she gave them all such a windfall. She'll call in these favors in her bid to conquer Tyria and enslave the player-base. You heard it here first. Laranity is going to be the new Villain in the next Guild Wars 2 expansion.
@@miguelcondadoolivar5149 Seriously. This whole month is the absolute worst time to empty your material stores. Be like Snape people. Harry can't sneak in there, you're ok to hoard at least a little.
Basically knew about all of these already, but it's still useful to have a good overview of them in one place with concise explanations of what to do. Great video, as always.
I love the simplicity and basic explanation given here. So many videos on how to make money in GW2 give you the first step about converting a currency into some item but then don't tell me what to do with those items or where to do it...I wouldn't be watching a video like this if I knew how valuable that stuff was in the first place so I appreciate you saying "convert this currency into crafting materials and then list them on the TP. Make sure not to buy and sell instantly to maximize profits." That's so basic but if you don't know you don't know. You got my sub.
back when we had the daily DRM, I farmed them HEAVILY for the tokens cause I *immediately* saw the value of them since you can get material boxes with a currency that has basically no other use... tyrian defense seals don't dip into your magic, your gold, or *any* other currency type making them ideal to grind for material boxes, to that end don't sleep on the Jade Sliver module for the jadebot, if you do a LOT of open world or plan on story playing a new alt that you boosted to 80, put a jade sliver module on them and just go
Back before they made the volcanic stormcaller weapons account bound when bought with seals, that was a friggin *gold* mine. I probably made a 1000 gold that way.
do you per chance know whether or not the jade sliver module also converts the valuable junk to slivers? I am thinking of e.g. Crystallized ley-energy from ley line anomaly, or Shiny Baubles from HoT maps, etc.
@@erisvenia it's not supposed to convert valuable junk to slivers so baubles should be safe, secondarily items derived from bags don't seem to convert either regardless of value so they're not **perfect** I've noticed if you're sliver grinding put it on a char you plan on doing core tyria world clear with, most of the junk is useless and direct drops, so they often (but not always) go straight to slivers. and do Tequatal, if you get the junk spoon drop it's a ridiculous amount of slivers.
@@erisvenia I believe it has a limit, maybe a silver? I know it converts the silverfish trash (which is a silver), but not the goldfish trash (which is a gold)
@@arkanaloth2617 What is jade silver module??? Tried googling it but there is nothing about it? Could plz explain what is it and how to get it? Thank you
according to gw2efficiency, I have like 2k gold in my bank *cough* but I'm such a hoarder, constantly thinking I might need the stuff later for legendaries and stuff so I don't sell anything off :D maybe I should ... Thanks for another excellent video, Lara. Interesting overview :)
I feel like one of the most important things to build up gold is to use your crafting etc to get the highest profit margin. Crafting a daily lump of mithrillium & charged quartz crystals make like 1g each. If you decide to buy trophy shipments, you'll get loads of t5 mats that can be more effectively used as t6 mats by using the mystic forge. And the same goes for most materials. T5&T6 enhancements usually sell for a good profit aswell. In general the best ways to earn gold is simply by doing the shit that no one else wants to do. Focus on items that are in high demand, frequently being insta bought and require multiple different supplies. Focus on creating an end product while simultaneously avoid selling raw mats on the TP whenever possible.
Really good video! I think most of these are at least somewhat familiar to the more experienced players, but especially for newer players it's nice to have an overview of which currencies are worth something and easy to convert. And hey, I bet there's plenty of people around who are sitting on a treasure trove's worth of Tyrian Defense Seals 😂
Hey Lara, just a Niche thing for your Spirit Shard Problem, in the Fractals one of the Vendors ( Same that sells the Ad Infinitum Pres) sells Spirit shards for Fractal relics, if you ever need that info, keep up the good work
Years ago, I made the mistake of converting spirit shards to gold, cuz I had thousands of them. Now my main bottleneck in legendary crafting is spirit shards.
"this is not a shady get rich quick scheme"... that's exactly what a person trying to get you into a shady get rich quick scheme would say xD damn... your account value is arround 100k gold, impressive!
Yknow what, this actually kinda makes me wanna do DRMs just for the defense seals because I need mats for Astralaria. Thanks for letting me see the up side of doing DRMs!
I totally forgot about my laurels! I just exchanged a few hundred of them (because I want to keep a good bunch on them, just in case) for well needed materials. :)
AAA what irks me rn in GW2 is that i am Gold gate from not being able to straight up buy the Living Word seasons. Both in story progression and order , and in the materials and content that is common for farming etc.
Well great lol, I managed to craft 3 precursors with the imperial favor I had. Have zero interest in aurene legs, that was a nice 300g. Good to use on chad generation 1 legs.
I am a hoard goblin, I shall not part with a single coin nor a single material. Seriously though, I can never part with stuff because I don't know if I might need it, doesn't help that I don't know what to do with half the currencies I have, like where are the best NPCs to buy from and what in general you can buy, like Lurals, I never realized that you can buy ascended accessories with them until not too long ago.
I have so many spirit shards I don't know what to do with them! I will never convert them, too much effort. I just buy tons of spirit banners and drop them everywhere.
I find things like trophy shipment only work if your somewhat lucky, which I'm not. Never made a profit doing those always break even or take a small loss. Just like turning lws3 map material (blood ruby, petrified wood, etc) into unbound magic to buy shipments never worked for me, always lost 10silver and made more money selling the stack of the material instead lol.
Spirit Shard Conversion ... having your PC waste electricty for hours, so you can convert your Spirit Shards, that are worth hundreds of Gold or otherwise be worthless.
Oh my giddy aunt. I’m a Millionaire 😂😂😂 If only I could overcome my hoarding tendencies. For now I’ll just add this video to my pile of Awesome Lara videos that I’m currently hoarding lol 🥰🥰🥰
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ' so u got me alittle curious those infusions from raids gives the glowing appearance in the game,,,> ? :S if so id like to know i guess ill be start getting on raiding soon probbly after finshing the whole story maybe :>
I really wish they would let us trade Gifts of Exploration for Gifts of Battle. I would give 5 to 10 of one for 1 of the other. I have like 60+ just sitting. If I could trade some for GoB and then use them for crafting Gen 1s, I could make a ton of gold! sigh... Anyways, I didn't know about some of these, I'd heard whispers about them but never really researched cause I was never really gold poor, but this is all good to know!
@@AnputVT Then WvW players should WANT such a trade too. Maybe the same vendors could do the opposite exchange for them where several GoB can be traded for 1 GoE. Sounds fair to me. For me the GoB is the most boring part of any Legendary, and I'm sure for WvW players GoE would be considered the same thing. Everybody's happy! Let us not be at odds, let us join forces!! 😅
Unbound Magic is not too valuable unfortunately :( According to [fast], the best conversion is like 3 copper per Unbound Magic! So 3k Unbound Magic is like 90 silver
If you don't have legendary trinkets yet, it's the easiest way to get ascended ones. Else I think you're limited to those MIst-packed things (I forgot their name).
Eh, this is for new players. I just finish making a legendary, and my account looks empty: 0 gold, 0 karma 0 map currencies 0 tyrian seals etc...all 0 or near 0. I'm not rich :(
I am playing GW2 for 3 days now, so I am already an experienced player. /pokerface But I have a question. How much gold is a lot of gold? You see, so far I never needed any gold so far on my unreachable for most ppl level (38), so I have no idea about the scale we are talking about here.
If you're okay grinding and being mentally void, run fractal 42 with everyone bringing high burst dmg, a nice 2 minutes for 4 free chests, an average of 50g an hour 😁
To my knowledge there is a way but idk how actually profitable it is by buying orrian something boxes from various vendors in orr and selling the junk you get from them could probably find a calculator online to tell you expected profits
i tried to make a legendary and ended up leaving the game when i saw the pure pain that it is this video almost made me relog to see if i was rich lol now that i think about it i didn't even start EoD despite owning it...money well spent i guess xD
You won’t be. “Rich” is not a thing in gw2 unless u pay for gold or more gw2 accounts. Everything in game is centred around funneling people to buy gems or gold.
@@CloudMV of course i'm sure that if you put enough hours into the game it's possible to do anything. but i still have lost interest in the game, which i find pretty sad :( i haven't launched it since
Hehe.. my years of hoarding has finally paid off.. I'm in the 2% bracket. 1% if I add my personal GH vault value. Sadly.. I'll never get to use.. cause I'm a hoarder :(
gw2efficiency says no, iam not. and i would know, i use that site since end of 2016. i know, i know. iam not the audience for this kind of video, but i was hoping to get at least some info or thing, that i havent thought about till now. but thats the downside of beeing a vet, there are no surpises left after a certain point
I had gathered over 400 Stabilizing Matrices from daily fractals, I was shocked to find 120 gold just sitting in my material storage from a single material.
But it turns out I am in fact still dirt poor in Guild Wars 2.

Too many alts to feed.

Sounds exactly like what a shady person would say.

yeah the API thing on the website says there is an error with my apis everytime i try to input it... so ima just skip it i guess ty anywys
What I need sink for : Vial of Condensed Mists Essence and Shard of Crystallized Mists Essence

is she related to Taimi?
Your accent and voice are soo damn smooth. 👌
Great video! But less head shaking in the future, at moments i thought you had a seizure i almost called an ambulance 🤣
you casually scroll past that Fractal CM currency.... woah
As i making my obsidian armor atm, i greatly regret selling many of my materials tbh.
