138900-tips-for-goldplat-making

== Content ==
			
Hey everyone,
 
I didn't know where to post this (this might get moved-sorry) 
 
anyways, I was wondering are there any tips on making gold/plat? I'm still new I got 50 like 2 days ago or so with only item level 68 and I was thinking I need to rune some of my good gear 78-80 item level however, it's going to cost me a lot =0. 
 
so I was wondering is there anyway people are making money? there are probably ways that don't want to be shared, which is fair and fine. 
 
I do have Architect (t4? t5?) I can't remmber and a relic hunter. It does't seem I can make a lot by gathering Relics (i'm not sure tbh.) for Architect I'm not sure what people actually buy lol.
 
Any advice or a push would be much appreciated, I don't mind grinding and working hard for the gold/plat! all I do so far is dailies. or most of the dailies.
 
 
Thank you,

get the EG (Elder gem) limit early and everything you earn after that will be converted into gold.
do dailies!

			Well, I personally find solo-ing Veteran Expeditions ( particularly the quicker ones like Infestation, Outpost M-13, Gauntlet , Space Madness , maybe Rage Logic ) to be a moderately decent gold income as long as you gold them, at least faster than questing imo. If you pick Random Veteran Expediton you get some extra bonuses and you can just keep leaving and re-queueing until you get one of the shorter ones. You'll also acquire some nice amount of Dyes you can either use or sell on CX.

I haven't found expeditions that great for earning money, I will have to check again really and see how much I earn, I use most of the dyes etc.  I found PvP quite good for earning money, queue random at elder cap and you can get 50g per game I think, also I have a subscription.  Relic hunter isn't very profitable until you can get the highest level relics, they currently sell better than ore or trees.       
 
Doesn't architect go better with survivalist?  Can't remember.
 
Do daily quests at 50, gather everything you can and play a lot, you will find you have some gold coming it then.
 
Use 2 Step verification for 5% extra xp, prestige, renown, get a guild with everything unlocked (extra xp, gold etc), get a subscription for 25% extra gold etc.  XP is turned to gold at 50.

Content-wise:
 
Pick up contracts (PVE/PVP) and complete them (can be done while doing content below)
 
Complete dailies to hit Elder Gem cap (remember to pick up "kill x creatures contracts" for daily zones)
 
Run Veteran Infestation Expedition (this is the fastest expedition: 6-9 minutes with good gear - pick up "complete veteran expedition" contract when it's in rotation - also chances on mounts/dyes/pets you use can sell on CX)
 
Run random battlegrounds (pick up all non-arena or warplot contracts before you go)
 
Don't forget to turn in contracts when you complete them! Check if you completed any after each daily zone and turn them in before moving to the next one, so you can pick up additional contracts (eg pick up kill x moodies contract before doing northern wilds, pick up kill x marauders before doing crimson isle etc). When you're doing pvp you can just queue while standing next to the contract board so you can turn them in while queueing for the next.
 
 
Buff-wise:
 
Add 2-step verification to your account for 5% extra xp, prestige, renown
 
Join a guild that has all "buffs" unlocked and has them active (extra xp, etc)
 
Buy and use a Flask of Greed from a renown vendor for 2500 renown, it increases gold drops by 8% for 4 hours (NOTE: only when you're in a guild that has these unlocked)
 
Buy and use a Flask of Riches from the ingame store (you sometimes get these as daily login reward, if I'm not mistaken). It increases currency, renown and prestige gained by 25% for 3, 6 or 10 hours (depending on which one you buy).

Stack contracts with dailies and content, keep your item slots on the AH and CX full every day (you don't need to sell expensive stuff, but selling 5-15 items a day worth 10-30 gold each adds up quick. 
 
My biggest suggestion to folks is to optimize the money you get from the content you like, then add in contracts and a few dailies so you get some items to keep your AH/CX slots full. Remember to clean out your crafting bags as mobs drop crafting supplies that don't show up in your main bags.
 
My advice to you before hitting 50 would have been to ignore architect and instead take two gathering professions so you could collect wood as well as ore; not sell it then when you got to 50 you could swap mining out and take architect and level it much easier with out as much gold sink. Right now I suggest you drop relic hunter unless you want to level your technologist craft. If you want to architect go scavenger and collect wood.
