It may sound obvious to some people and stupid to others, but you really should try different things from time to time. Not only there is a chance you’ll find new fun in the game, but you’ll also discover things that will help you with your other activities.

Doing PvE and PvP, being aware of the meta and experiencing it yourself is what will put you above other traders and crafters. You will get a feel of which items are going to be selling good, as well as get a feel for the price of a lot of gear and artifacts as you’ll be selling and buying them frequently. Shifts in the meta will always change up the prices, and sometimes you can make millions off of these shifts if you’re fast enough. You will also discover items to craft and sell with big margins naturally from selling your loot and just being curious while doing it.

On the other hand, if you PvP a lot, crafting your own gear and being aware of the prices will make you save a lot of money, and also enable you to potentially sell your loot for more silver.

I’ve been doing a lot of 5v5 HGs the last couple of days (also quite busy with work, hence no posts), and it’s extremely fun when you get together a decent team. Very good fame and money too.

This is what ~4-5 hours of hellgating in 4.1 overcharge (no capes, no expensive artifacts, average set is under 50k silver with a horse and overcharge) look like. Not sure yet, but I’m guessing this is in the ballpark of 15-20m silver.

And here are my stats as of 14th of June. Getting my PvE fame up, aiming at 25m by the end of the bonus fame week.
