Gathering and refining
Gathering skills — mining, logging, harvesting, skinning and fishing — supply every crafter in the game. Refining raw materials into higher-tier items adds value. Focus on one or two gathering skills you enjoy, and sell refined materials when prices are good.
Crafting for the market
Popular things to craft and sell:
- Consumables like potions, food and coatings that players use every day.
- Gear with good perks for popular builds.
- Furniture and housing items.
- Refining materials needed by high-level crafters.
Use the Trading Post
Check prices before buying or selling and look at regional differences. Listing slightly below the lowest price sells faster. Watch for demand spikes after updates and new seasons.
Expeditions and endgame
Expeditions, world bosses and other endgame activities drop valuable items and materials. Running them with a regular group is both fun and profitable.
Save coin
Avoid spending coin on gear you'll quickly replace, and only fast travel when it saves real time. Housing tax and repairs add up, so plan around them.
