I've seen a lot of talk about how AH/CX prices are totally out of wack and how everyone that thinks the prices are fine are "cheaters" left over from the thicket abuse. I feel like this is not true at all and want to tell you guys how you easily can make upwards of 50 platium a week. Some of these steps takes more dedications than others, but they will all ensure you have a steady income. I am currently sitting at 300 platium, got all the runes I need for the new gear in drop 4 and have spent around 100'ish platium perfecting my current DS gear. This is how I have done it. I write this guide because people claim its hard making money in wildstar and that everything is super expensive. I am sitting here with loads of funds in my bag and I want to help others improve.
 
The lazy mans version (VERY EASY) - Potential 20.25-20.5 Gold Per Hour on your OWN plot. -7.5g a week upkeep fee
 
This method has been used since head start, it used to be the best and fastest way to farm platium, but with drop 3 that is no longer the case. These days it should be seen more as a bonus income coming while either using your portal to get the grimvault before a raid or others farming it for you . It requires you to have a T4 Thicket or Mineral plot. Personally I suggest a Thicket because of the meat from the work bench. I also recommend not spending platium to get the elite modules unless you are committed and wants to use a few weeks getting that back. If you do have the stamina (and money), an elite plot is defiantly worth it.
 
So the next step is at the moment silly. right now, as of 23/12-2014 the ICCcom channels are broken, which means that the addon WYBMNRedux is currently broken. This means that you will have to find your self a mining or survivalist circle. This can be tricky because people began shutting them down because of WYBMN.
 
Harvest your stuff and if you feel like it, go through the neighbour list and harvest their stuff. Vendor all the tree you get except for: Gourmet Poultry, Exotic Bug Meat and Large Fish. These three should be sold on the CX, either as a sell order or buy now order, if there are any remaining. Just make sure not to sell anything below the vendor price and remember to factor in the 12% fee for using the CX. 
 
Festival T6 (VERY EASY) - Potential 14.5g Gold Per Hour on your OWN plot. -7.5g a week upkeep fee
 
Get your path to level 30 and you will get access to the T6 Festival. This will will spawn random food every 15th minute, which you can sell on the CX. Keep in mind that you should keep the food you use for raiding because that will save you a few bucks.
 
 
Skullcano farm (EASY) - Potential 50 Gold Per Hour Upto 6 Platium. -Repair costs varies.
 
This is my new favorite method of making money. Go to Whitewale and join the level 35 version of skullcano. Kill the shaman (bring enough AIs to interrupt his eating) and the monkey (stand where the big mushrooms spawns after 2x fist pumps) and go die in fire or lava and exit the instance, reset it and enter again. You can do this 5 times an hour. If you are lucky you will get 2-3 modules per kill, but often you might not even get one per run, but dont worry thats not a problem, because you want to salvage the gear you obtain. From the gear in SC you can get the new Specter & Spectral runes. These currently sell for 2.2 Platium each. You can also obtain various fragments for elder runesets which sells for 1.5 platium and more. Also the haste set can be obtained this way, though these are BOP and can only be used by your self (and they are awesome by the way)
 
Crafting (NORMAL) - Potential income various depending on the server you are on. -Mats for crafting have various prices.
 
This can be very time consuming but can also net you a nice income. What you want to craft are the stat boots, gel and runic flux. These 3 are great because you can buy all the mats you need for them and still earn money selling it on the CX. Stuff like armor and weapons are more of a gamble because you want a decent roll on the stats and rune slots, so only do that if you are willing to invest your money into a lottery, there are no guarantee that you will ever get your money back. ViragsAutoCoordinate is great if you plan on mass producing.
 
"Playing the auction house" (HARD, TIME CONSUMING) - Potential is extremely hard to say, extremely risky buisness model. -You risk burning your 
finger and lose a lot of platium.
 
This method is risky, let me put that out there. This should only be attempted if you are willing to risk your entire investment and if you got the time to follow up on the auction hour multiple times a day .You might have heard this phrase before and have no idea what it actually means. What it means is that you try and control the market on your server. You set the prices and keep undercutters at bay by buying their stuff and sell it at the price you want it to be. Its also as simple as buying stuff on the CX which can be vendored for more(yes people still do this) Flip is required if you intend on trying this. So what should you do for this to work?
 
- Check flip in the morning, look for discrepencies
- Look for items in Flip with wide bid offers Aug rune frags, Shadow blasts, Tarnished eldan, Eldan signs etc etc
- Sit on both sides of the market, buy if its something you expect to continue to trend upwards and visa versa
- CX Fees: 2% on buy orders and 12% on sell orders
- Materials are sold mostly between 4am and 12 Noon server time
- Consumeables are bought between 4pm - 7pm server time
- Rune fragments + signs are mostly bought 9pm - Midnight
- Check AH for mispriced items during peak times the best ones are implants / energy shield
- Hunters helper scope with fire/ fusion slots for 5p? buy that shit. Resell for 25p+
 
Undercutters are going to be the bane of your life if you attempt to do this. You either suck it up or stop doing it.
 
Play the *cupcake* game! (Play?) - This is the most fun and will net you money, no matter how bad you are. -Repair costs and consumeables most likely
 
So my favorite way of earning money in this game is by actually playing it. The most important thing u can do every week is to cap EGs as soon as possible, so that the XP you gain is turned into gold. We now have three daily zones that gives you 60%+ weekly EGs if you complete them all in a day. If you are capped on reputation you might not want to do dailies anymore so do PvP instead and buy an XP flask from the renown vendor. A fast way of capping EGs is doing DS. Especially the logic wing is your friend here. If you clear everything up to elemantal pairs (minus one other boss) you will have 100% weekly EGs. Everything you do from this point will then net you gold instead of EGs. Clearing GA will net you around 85-88% weekly EGs. 
 
A personal advice. Salvage all the gear you obtain. Yes you might get 3-4-5 gold for an item, but the higher the item level (power level) the higher the chance of a fragment worth platiums. ALWAYS salvage gear  you dont need, ALWAYS.
