💰 How to Make Gold Fast in Guild Wars 2 – Ultimate Beginner’s Guide

 

HOW DO I MAKE GOLD IN THIS GAME?

If you ever Google this, congratulations — you’re basically doing what 99% of players do: type in “how to get gold in GW2” like it’s the secret to life. Alright, character’s made, level 80 unlocked, every story beat completed… but still no gold. So where the heck do we even get it?

Let’s calculate how much gold you can realistically squeeze out of your daily grind. And if you’re like me… you get home, tired from work, chat with your spouse or kids for a couple hours, and then say, “Alright universe, it’s GW2 time!” — that’s when you realize every minute in this game is basically liquid gold waiting to be mined… if you don’t die from exhaustion first.

Here’s what you can do:

  • Daily missions / Weekly missions

  • Daily Strike Missions (IBS5) + Dragonstorm

  • Daily Fractals (based on your tier)

  • Open World Meta Events

  • World Bosses

  • Weekly Raids

Daily & Weekly Missions


With the SoTO expansion, everything changed. There’s now a shiny little thing called Wizard Vault in the left menu (PvE only, don’t cheat). It gives you four mission options. Do one, get 1 gold. Plus Astral Acclaim tokens — limit 1300. Hit the cap, game yells at you: “Spend them, peasant!” Spend your tokens on stuff you actually need: skins, ascended armor/weapons, build storage… you know, essentials. Anything left over? 35 tokens = 1 gold bag. So if you max your 1300 tokens, that’s a solid 37 gold. Not bad for a few clicks.

Daily Strikes (IBS5 + DS)

After Wizard Vault, you do IBS5 + Dragonstorm. Why? Let’s math this out:

  • 5 strike missions × 45 silver each = 2 gold

  • Dragonstorm once daily = 2 gold (second run? nope, buddy, only once)

SoTO Strike CO + ToF — each 2 gold, both = 4 gold
EoD Strike AH + XJJ + KO + HT — 2 daily only, so if you do your daily quota, another 4 gold.

Daily Fractals

Low tier = low gold. Shocking, I know. But T4 + CM = 20+ gold if you’re good. Let’s be real: new players doing T3-T4 + recommended fractals? ~8–10 gold. CM? 20+. Pure gold, ignoring shiny loot drops, materials, and tokens.

Realistic daily grind time after life interruptions:

  • Daily missions = 5 min

  • IBS5 + DS = 30–40 min

  • Fractals = 30–40 min

Total: ~2.5 hours if luck and groups cooperate (which they won’t). Then you’re free to continue or be that responsible adult who sleeps because… work tomorrow.

Open World Meta / World Boss

Random events, random rewards. Mostly cosmetics or overpriced junk. Sometimes insane drops. Either way, good XP for mastery. If tired? Sleep, my friend, sleep.

Weekly Raids

Endgame stuff. 80% of players have a static squad, 20% try to organize strangers and cry. Clearing all raids = ~60–70 gold, drops could add another 1–20 gold. CM raids? 120–130 gold.

In summary:

  • Daily missions = 1 gold

  • IBS5 + DS = 4 gold

  • SoTO + EoD = 8 gold

  • Fractals = 8–10 gold

Total = 20–25 gold in ~2.5 hours. Save it a month + sell materials/items, and boom — ~800 gold.

Note: Numbers fluctuate. Could be 20, could be 30. Depends on RNG, group lag, how angry your cat is that you’re gaming.

    Hey, thanks for your post . If you had to pick just one gold-making method that’s super beginner-friendly and doesn’t feel like a grind, which one would you recommend?

All Mounts in Guild Wars 2 ( No Need Achievement )

  All Mounts in Guild Wars 2 & How to Unlock Them (2025 Guide) Greetings to all gw2king visitors. Whether you’re a veteran player or just getting started with Guild Wars 2, I want to share this guide with you about all the mounts in the game and how to unlock them one by one. In the past, there were no mounts. Players had to walk across gigantic maps or use classes that could grant themselves swiftness to move faster. That era ended with the release of the Path of Fire expansion, which introduced our new travel companions. These mounts allow us to leap great distances, climb high, skim across water, dive underwater, fly above the clouds, and even Tokyo Drift our way through Tyria! Each mount has a unique skill and purpose. Here they are: - Raptor (long horizontal leap) - Springer (vertical high jump) - Skimmer (water surface and underwater mobility) - Jackal (long jumps, pass through sand portals) - Skyscale (can fly freely) - Roller Beetle (very high speed and drift abil...

Skyscale ( Need Achievement )

Image
  Skyscale Yes, when we first started playing the game and were exploring the Tyria maps, seeing other players flying around freely while we were walking or riding a Raptor could be a bit frustrating. Questions like, “Why am I walking while they’re flying? How can I get this mount? What do I need to do to obtain it?” constantly ran through our minds. When I first started the game, I struggled to complete most of my missions with the Raptor and Springer. Watching other players fly made me always want to have this mount too. I’m sure many players have felt the same way, and I respect that. In fact, when I started the game in 2020, my main goal was to get the Skyscale. After long efforts, when I finally obtained it, I thought, “Wow, my journey in this game is complete.” But it didn’t end there. Between fractals, strikes, raids, PvP, WvW, open-world bosses, meta events, and the game’s large seasonal events, the game was far from over—it was just beginning. So, where were we? Ah yes...

I Hit Level 80 in Guild Wars 2 – What Should I Do Next?

Image
  Guild Wars 2: Two Perspectives on Playing the Game      This image has been sourced from the official ArenaNet website and is used here for informational           purposes only. Part One: Free to Play – No DLC Purchased Yes, we downloaded and installed the game without buying any DLC. We started Guild Wars 2 as a regular free-to-play player. After creating our character and playing through the intro, we embark on our adventure. Correct me if I’m wrong, but as a level 2 character on the Tyria map, the game gives us a raptor mount (with a 10-hour usage limit). Riding the mount around the map and trying to reach level 80 might sound fun, but leveling to 80 within 10 hours is tough. Without a mount, you’ll be walking around vast maps to complete quests. Let’s say you reached level 80 and still have your mount (which is unlikely). Once the mount buff expires, your raptor will disappear. Traveling without a mount and walking long distan...
