Okay, before we start let's get our gear and technique down.
Now, again this guide is for making GOLD... so I salvage and sell everything. I will tell you my specific technique I use for maximum earnings.
First, please invest in a full set of Magic Find gear. I have noticed a big difference in my drops having over 130% MF.
You don't have to have exotic gear, you can have rare or even Masterwork. Since all armor quality has the same amount of MF%, except for main stats. If you're wearing Masterwork instead of Exotic gear you will suffer around -20 points for your main stats like Power, Precision, etc.
I specifically use Explorer's which is Power, Precision & MF. You can go with Mad King's for the Power, Condition Damage & MF if you want.
As for runes I use 5 Superior Runes of the Pirate and 1 of the Traveler. With just runes alone, you have over 35%.
With a full set of armor with MF you will have over 18%.
Now for Trinkets with MF you will have over 35%, that is if you also place the Exquisite Opal Jewels in them too. So that's 7% MF on each Trinket along with 4% on my back piece.
You will want to also buy some Omnomberry Bars (3s 30-50c, it is definitely worth it. You will make your money back plus more) which give you 30% MF, 40% extra coin & +10 Extra exp per kill.
I also dual wield, so my main wep has 3% MF with the Superior Sigil of Luck and my offhand has 6% MF (extra 3% from Crest of the Traveler). Make sure your weapon also has Superior sigil of Luck. With 25 stacks you will have 15% MF.
So I'm running exactly 146% MF, sometimes 156% if you use your Guild's MF banner or some other guild's banner.
But you don't have to have over 130% you can do 90% or even 100%. I recommend at least 100% MF.
The Technique
This is my exact technique on what I do for maximum earnings.
The Technique
This is my exact technique on what I do for maximum earnings.
- Whites -Salvage all whites.
- Blues -Vendor all blues.
- Greens -Forge greens in Mystic Forge for potential rares you can salvage into ecto.
- Rares -TP/Salvage for ecto. *Note: Salvaging sometimes yields 3 ectos!!!
- Exotic -Obviously I TP these right away.
- Mats -Mats are sold right away.
As for miscellaneous loot like bags, don't open them just sell them.
Here's your exact Farming Objectives:
Cursed Shore Events, R&D WP, Caer Shadowfain WP, Shelter's Gate WP & Jofast's Camp WP
*Note:I personally like to start at either Penitent or Shelter's WP because out of all the events they yield the most mobs and loot drops, you can pick whichever one it doesn't really matter. The events happen at different times and sometimes at the same time.
*Rinse & repeat
Loot obtained:

- Plinx -R&D WP or Caer Shadowfain WP *Plinx is a 4 phase event. The 4th phase is the Champion Abomination that spawns outside of the Caer Shadowfain base.
- Penitent Invasion -Penitent WP *Sometimes in the tunnel there's also another escort event that happens to Shelter's Gate.
- Oakheart Escort -Caer Shadowfain WP
- Shelter's Invasion -Shelter's Gate WP
- Jofast Escort -Starts at Shelter's Gate
- Jofast Invasion -Jofast's Camp WP
*Rinse & repeat
Loot obtained:
- Heavy Moldy Bags
- t5-6 Mats
- Whites, Blues, Greens, Rares & sometimes Exotics.
Frostgorge Sound, Ice Floe WP
(Here you will be farming the Colossus' and Corrupted Quaggans).
*Note: Just follow the route A to B. Rinse and repeat. By the time you reach point B they will all spawn again. This is located just West of where Jormag spawns as you can see on the map below.

Loot obtained:
- Corrupted Lodestones (1g+ each)
- t5-6 Mats (Large Bones 1s+, Large Claw 1s+, Ancient Bone 5-6s, Vicious Claws 10s)
- Whites, Blues, Greens, Rares & sometimes Exotics.
Malchor's Leap, Tempests and/or Lights WP
(I prefer this over Cursed Shore because it's easier and the Sparks & Air elementals have a larger spawn).
*Note: Sparks and Air Elementals only spawn when the Dwayna statues are uncontested. Just do the temple event with some people and that will spawn the Sparks and Air Elementals. If my main server is contested I am sometimes lazy and just guest to other servers to check if they're contested or not instead of doing the temple event. =P
Loot obtained:
- Charged Lodestones (Biggest money makers with a whopping 3g 40-50s EACH)
- t5-6 Mats (Most common is Crystalline Dust 20s+ each)
- Whites, Blues, Greens, Rares & Exotics.
The End
And that is it! if you follow this guide and technique you will be making easy gold! =P
Thank you for taking the time to read my guide and I hope this has helped you viewers in some way or another.
I will be updating this on a regular basis for new events, content, etc.
