How do you earn your gold?

Simple question folks: How do you earn your brass/silver/gold?

Do you have a particular method? a particular routine? do you know unique things and go special places?

What DO you do to earn tha moneh? and how much?

...

Here's mine, i have recently taken to farming the living stuff out of chapter 20/21/22/ pq npcs to alternate with playing Scenarios, i might get 3-7 gear drops (50s-60s each) in 5-15 minutes on top of npc-kill silver and up to 1g from various small gubbins collectively, i'm averaging 4g50s (not counting occasional 2g dye drops) every 15 minutes of active gold farming, i might do this 1-3 times a week and 1-4 hours (including scs time) each time.

Edit: this method is apparently a 'small time' endeavour.

*despair*

I actually have an issue with gold atm, in that it's just slowly but surely going down on my chars. I don't really do any farming, and the 25 kill quest money doesn't seem to cover the constant flying between zones. Not sure what exactly is different here cos on AoR you used to end up with hundreds/thousands of g just by doing rvr, as I remember it.

Maybe it'll be different now I've finally got my WL into t4 and I start turning in the 50/50/50 one a bit more often, doubt it tbh but who knows.

I make money like you Dresden by selling green gear from power leveling guildies. I amsl used to make potions but now I only make for the guild.
Once blue potions work I will begin to sell pots again.

I think once blue/purple items start dropping from RvR/SC kills again this will be less of a problem.

I just play the game, questing and oRvR. Sell what I don't wear or use in crafting. Never have had any problem being short on gold for mounts, and that's all I use it for really.

Sell items that drop from players or salvage them.

Or at least thats how i used to do it, with the current sc rotation the income is a bit limited atm.
