The fastest way to make money in Guild Wars 2...is definitely through Trading Post . without using real money (by buying Gem and converted it to Gold).
check current price before selling.
*image below, combine profit from selling rune and ascended crafting materials.
Here some tips :-
- farm or buy cheap mats and then craft good value item from it and sell. set a capital if you choose to buy for that crafting materials, and check what is the current price.
- Buying and selling are not recommended (.you mess up, then you gonna lose money).
- Take advantage of living story. there will always new item in TP.. these mats or item have a very high value and demand. if you take advantage of it, you will gain a good amount of gold.
- Get to Level 500 ASAP (crafting discipline). All the ascended items and mats so far have high value and demand.
- Please look through what you gonna sell first. put some good price to it.
- Make use of your dungeon token. Using them to purchase exotic armors with uncraftable prefixes (like Rabid or Magi's). you have a chance of salvaging these from the armor (as well as Ectos, Glob of Dark Matter and other T6 mats), which pretty much have a high value in TP. Some of the armor pieces you craft from these inscriptions (Solder's for example) are very valuable in TP due to their popularity, and can be sold for no net loss (sometimes at a profit).
here an example...
Superior Rune of Antitoxin Recipe can be bought from Marjory's Helper Dee in Kessek Hill, or you can get it from chest and loot during the The Nightmares Within.
You can craft this Rune with Armorsmith, Leatherwork and Tailor crafting discipline. these are materials needed to craft these for each recipe:-
