Since people didn't like my guide on how to make lots of plat with little work here are more legitament ways of money grinding.  
 
 
1) Harvest Runs in Crimson Badlands.  I can't speak for every harvesting class but per galactium node I can make anywhere from 60 silver to - 2.5g.  There is a route in crimson badlands where you can easily grab 20-30 nodes for 10-15minutes worth of time.  Spend an extra 5 minutes grabbing the spider box challenge and the putting balloons on people challenge (tap that makes this a joke), get gold rewards which will give you roughly 5 gold per challenge + the crafting materials box which has a potential to make you over 1p (depending on runes, signs, or cores that can be in it) it usually nets to roughly 1p per 20 minutes.  Do this 4 times a day you have easily made 3-4p.  
 
2) Sign grinds.  Signs of water and signs of fire are very expensive.  Mobs will always drop the same sign type every time.  There is one specific area (without giving too many details) in northern wastes where signs of fire eldan drop relatively frequently.  Farming areas like this is a pretty good idea, bring some friends and pvp at the same time to keep pesky exiles away from your farm spot.  Makes the grind a bit more enjoyable.  
 
3) Be wary of crafting circles.  I am not a big fan of crafting circles as they farm my garden so I lose 50% of my product, and I'm on enough where Id rather 100% mining rewards instead of 50%.  If you play for 2-3 hrs a day and you sign on and don't have 6 mails of harvests, it is not worth it.  Not to mention you are helping to deflate the value of the product you are selling by making the product more abundent.  
 
4) DUNGEON GRINDS!  Haha, no one wants to admit this but this is a great way to make money.  Specifically if you have a good group and can consistently finish SSM on silver pace you should average roughly 1 BOE item per run.  Get a decent rune on it and it can easily be worth 15p, not to mention the silver/exp/signs/potential upgrades you can get from the rest of the dungeon.  
 
5) Crafting.  By far the best way to make money if you want to rip someone off.  People will pay for 1-2p for a full set of gear that will only cost you half that in mats.  That being said, if you are like me and don't like to make bad crafts for people, take one item that people will want, weather a weapon or armor piece (usually one that doesnt have an ability, even if its just the expert level and not epochos) and craft this item roughly 50-75 times.  DPS items are easiest to value and easiest to price.  Salvage or sell anything with 1 socket or 2-3 sockets that doesnt have fire/fusion in it.  And sell the rest.  Any item with fire fire fusion or fire fusion fuions WILL sell for 10p.  Fire Fire or Fire fusions roughly 4p.  Fire or Fusion with other sockets roughly 1p.  Add additional money if it has additional platinum.  Also try not to flood the market with all of your crafts at once.  Be patient.  Technologists, no reason you should not be mass crafting refined starshard powercords.  2g worth of matierial if bought at high prices for a 3g sell.  Crafting addon that will make your life much easier since it can easily crank out 50 at a time if you have the mats for you - Virags Auto Circuit
 
6) Trade in Renown.  I find this one funny.  I told a guildmate to do this who was sitting on 280k renown.  Had him buy as many expert outfitter or mining bags that he could and sell the contents.  He made 6p easily on sell nows alone.  Also if your guild has flasks of exp or greed use those as well.
 
7) Buying under vendor.  People are creatures of habit and tend to make a lot of careless mistakes.  Hover over commities, see if anyone is selling items below vendor.   Buy these items, and if you are a settler, build the buff in your capital city that increases economy.  This will make all your sales to one of there vendors increased by 5%.  If buy orders are under vendor, jump on board, people will fill these, I don't know why but they will.  NOTE: Make sure the item is expensive enough and you buy them in bulk.  Buying 1 5silver item at a time to sell it for 7 silver will actually lose you money since it will charge you 5 silver per order.  
 
 
Just a few tips for people who want to easily make 6-7p a day, especially for people who aren't into market manipulation like myself haha.

			Good stuff LoanWolf. Probably should be in Economy and Tradeskills though.

			yup, will likely get moved to tradeskill / economy. Nice tips though; only thing I would add is that gathering circles are awesome as long as you are smart about your gardens (also this is a known issue and there is a fix in the works for gardens to prevent unintentional seed/herb ninjaing).

Or just level an alt to 14, and put a garden on their plot and make it private.

Or just place your garden in the left rear plug then max scale 1 wall.
 
Done wayyyyy faster then creating a entire new character and leveling it just for something u can fix in 30seconds of time.

Not to mention you can only use the tier 1 garden.

I'll try some of this on the list due to my (still not sure) mistake last night. If I didn't already own the EP Saw, I would drop Survivalist in favor of mining. If you do not farm, I know having a type of node, but being a different type of gatherer can pay off. IE: I would keep my Thicket on my plot, but change to mining. I'd still get wood/leather/bone of Arch.
The farm change will be nice, but I no longer have a spot for it. Selling farmed plants/seeds netted me more money they just selling the plants.

			Thanks for the info. I'm interested to learn about how this Housing and Gardening works once I'm high enough level.
