So as the title says what is the to do? Recently I have just been sitting in towns just waiting for something like a friend to pm or a update to come. I can't pvp because of my gear (it's like 1-2 shots from a mythic bow) and as for pve elites... Yes I want to run tombs but no one will run without ankhs, and ankhs are 50k... So I took some advice from A thread about making money.. But I've been told my best chance is to wait till next cap.. So without ankhs to run PvE.. What can I do?

Note: I am farming locks but they are best to sell at event as prices rise.

Not buying ankhs for runs is pretty silly...Try farming Elite wilds,usually no one dies with a good Tank.Gl.

Apologies,misunderstood the Statement.As I mentioned: elite wilds,which drops teeth and elite golden dragonscale chests.Need a build and gear specifications too?I wouldn't mind paying some time giving out some tips.

If you're at endgame and are down to struggling with buying anks, I highly suggest you do all the gold making strategies that you read in the other thread. Make it a goal to get a few hundred to 1000+ Anks, max out your potions, and buy some luck lix and lep ammy if you don't already own one so that you'll be prepared for elites as soon as the season opens and farm the heck out of end game pinks. The only thing that's certain in elites now is the one hit and messed up red zones or the touch of death curse by mages.

Anks are the new token of elites, you need to prepare now. If 50k is too much, do all the free plat offers and buy with platinum. The key to success is preparation, anks aren't going to drop in price less than 40k a pop and there's no more major profitable events until after the expansion.

For ankhless run i would suggest elite southern seas( doesnt even cost me pots with full team as a tank)...nd the golden chest gives 20k...with 3 runs you should have enough for ankhs.
Then i suggest higher elites...though the ankh to loot ratio is low...
i prefer arena and tombs but only if your gear is above average otherwise its an ankh sink
Other than that farm locks(prize should rise with expansion) and probably the double odds arcane week that is coming soon
Good luck;)
P.s. if u don't get good loot we can cry together near paradise pier

You can farm for eggs in Normal Nordr solo. Not a lot of pots used, and lep+reroll usually yields one or two eggs and a crate or two in 30 mins. Granted, you won't get rich doing this, but with eggs at, or above 20k, it is enough to generate some savings. Don't forget to take the hero's of Nordr quest so you can get some gold and an elite silver warchest.

You can farm elite LMM for Wrathjaw and Snaggletooth eggs, plus the occasional Elite Golden Banded Chest.

Elite Southern Seas and Elite Palm Rock are easy, soloable places to farm Elite Golden Pirate Chests, Blood hammer gear and Firesquids.

If you are adventurous, you can take on elite Oltgar, but it is best to go with a party for efficiency.

Finally, you can PUG PT3 and Elite Caves, but in general, PUGs are hit or miss as far as party skill goes.

Still,Elite Golden Dragonscales in Elite wilds seem a better way to save up for me.As it's easy to Run with an legendary Party.

That is true, for sure the elite wilds are really easy and with a normal legendary equiped party its also a quick & stressless run. I like to run elite wilds over normal ones, but when you think about it you usualy get either elite dragonscale chests or dragkin teeth or nothing. I always say that if you have the will then you dont need a special tool, means that you can always, and always find a way to earn money if you are persistant and hardworking.

@mxzgrawp

I agree, Elite Wilds is a decent, and relatively safe place to farm, but there seems to be some time zones where there simply isn't much game activity, so finding a party can be difficult, which is my most of my recommendations are for solo players.

Also, it seems that the better geared players are more willing to PUG PT3 and Caves than Wilds. I'm not sure why there aren't too many PUGs happening in Wilds (the map has become way, way too easy), but that is just where it's at now. The lowest geared players are tying to PUG Wilds, and in many cases, managing to make a royal mess out of the map due to the short leashes.

@GoodSyntax (a.k.a. - Kalizzaa)

Agreed. Whenever a newly capped player ask me "how to make money?", i just point them over to wilds and elite wilds, but they usualy expect to get loaded overnight. As for Caves of Tarewa, I like to run them because if you have an experienced party,a lepre and lix you can easily farm either elite drag chest or shadowlurk. Not to mention the teeth.

What's left? For a start changing your title from 'the' to 'there' lol

And for ankhs, run gauntlet as they drop ankhs or save them up from klaas as he grants 5 on occasions.

Would it be okay to farm without luck elix? Not got much money atm.

Yes, Normal Nordr, being so easy, is perfectly fine to farm with just a Lep.

Elite LMM is a great place to farm if you can't afford reroll. The loot table there is very small, so even without the added boost, you will still loot eggs.

Elite Southern Seas is OK to farm with just a lep, but Palm Rock can be stingy with drops.

Beyond that, I wouldn't bother running Elite Nordr/Tindirin/Planar Tombs without reroll. The drop rate is crazy low as it is, so even with lep+reroll, you can still spend a lot of time running with nothing but junk to show for it.

Correct, you need to have sufficient gear to run elites competently. This doesn't mean mythic weapons, arcane ring, planar amulet. In fact, an Ice Scale set with a crate weapon is sufficient if you have the skill to stay alive, know the pulls and can play your role effectively.

I have rejected several near max players and I have also approved of many players that would be considered under geared.

Bring a good attitude, an effective build, some knowledge and a willingness to learn and just about anybody can earn their way in.

Bring a bad attitude, a PvP build and no clue how to run tough maps, and expect me to make your trial runs extra difficult. In fact, as my fellow officers will attest, I've come across several players with this attitude problem and my comment in /O is LET'S KILL THIS GUY. KILL EVERYTHING!!!!

We are a PvE guild. We support each other, we learn from each other and we are constantly pushing the envelope on making runs fast and efficient. If you cannot support your team, then you are hurting your guildmates....and that would be a problem.

What about farming Tind for the dragonite bar?

GoodSyntax

You certainly can farm for teeth, but I'm afraid that there isn't a huge demand for Dragonite Bars. That would be one of those items that you would have to sell at a large discount, or relist multiple times.

As far as Teeth items go, you could buy Elite Golden Dragonchests for resale. They sell fast, so at least you aren't relisting the same item over and over, taking the listing fee hit every time.

I'm not sure what the value or demand is for the new egg that the Tooth vendor has, but from what I've heard, Snappy's AA (Hallowed Shell) is even more lame than Scorch's, if such a thing is possible, so I doubt that there are people knocking down doors to buy it.

So, Dragonite Bar is your highest value item for teeth, but also a slow seller. If you are willing to sell on forums, or can accept the relisting fees, it is not a bad way to earn a few gold.
