Thanks to all who took the time to view this article. I'm fairly new to editing wikis, but I've had some experience at creating them from scratch. I figured I would create my own personal article for all viewers involving end-game tactics to making money. This process is long, but when done right, is guaranteed to have fantastic results. Here's article one. NOTE: These things should only be done AFTER at least one of the Guild Wars games or expansions have been completed.

-Choose How You Want To Make Money- First off, since you'll be new to this form of money making, you should read the Scams page, to familiarize yourself with tips on how to avoid scams while doing what you want to do. Now, here are some of the 'Professions' you can choose to earn money and items:

1. Human Merchant: This 'Profession' involves turning items usually with a high rarity, into cash by selling them. 2. Professional Runner: This one involves running people to places, most of the time if you do this, you will be running to places like Droknar's Forge, Lion's Arch, The Marketplace, Consulate Docks, ect. All of these places have one thing in common: There is something there that your rider (s) want. 3. Farmer: See Farming This choice means that you will farm for items of rarity and sell them as a Human Merchant. (Obviously, this is a cross between the 'Professions'of Merchant and Farmer.) NOTE: THIS IS THE HARDEST CHOICE DUE TO IT'S CROSS CLASS! RECOMMENDED TO SKILLED PLAYERS WHO ALREADY HAVE EXPERIENCE IN ADVANCED FARMING!

-Gather The Required Goods- Now that you have chosen what you want to do, you need to get what you need to start up. This all comes down to money. Takes money to buy skills for builds, takes money to buy items for buy and sell, takes money for everything. Here's what you'll need for each choice. Tip: It's always important, no matter where you are in the game, to have at least 5k extra in case you end up in the hole, you can build a cash ladder to get out.

Farmer/Merchant: Money to purchase a good build, and a weapon specifically modded for that build. Runner: Money to purchase the necessary skills for a good build, and a weapon in case of an emergency. Also, a good monk hero, such as dunkoro, with a specialized healing build exclusively for a runner, helps a lot too. NOTE: THERE IS NOTHING ARENANET CAN DO IF A RUNNER IS SCAMMED.

-What if I have no interest in any of these, but I still want to make money?- I've had this case before. Have no fear! Here is a unique way to make money, though it isn't as efficient, but requires no money at all, and pays good. Plus, It's PVP! ALL YOU NEED IS SOME BALTHAZAR FACTION!

Faction Farming (See Alliance Battle and Guild for more info)

What you have just read has given you an idea as to how each profession works ect. I mean, after all, this page is for those who have beaten a game right? So you're probably familiar with each of these professions. So go ahead! Mix a few of them around. Change the rules! Push the boundaries! But most importantly, be inventive.
