Here are some tips for making gold and getting ingredients for legendaries which involve the Super Adventure Box:
1. You can get 7 Bauble Bubbles (BB's) per character every day from boss chests. If you have 5 characters that's a maximum of 35 BB's a day and a maximum 1050 for the entire month.
2. The fourth zone is quite hard in contrast to the other zones and theresn't a chest that drops a rare skin. It's time consuming and you hardly get anything, it's no use to do it imho.
Because I'm not doing the last zone I'll lose 150 BB's but will still have 900. Which is quite a nice number in my opinion
3. There's a 2% chance that you'll get a rare Super Skin from a boss chest. I suggest you sell it ASAP as the prices are dropping.
At the end of the month the prices will be really low, that's the moment when you should buy as much skins as you can. I suggest you buy mostly greatsword skins (they're the ones most people want). And if you wait long enough the prices will be higher again. You'll be able to make a lot of gold with this.
4. Buy Obsidian Shards, Philosopher's Stones or Crystals with the BB's you get. This will make your way to get a legendary easier (NO KARMA FARMING! ).
Example: Mystic Clovers need about 231 Obsidian Shards (there's a 1/3 chance you'll get a clover from the mystic forge and you'll need 77. 77*3= 231) and you'll need another 250 for the Gift of Mastery. That's 481 BB's.
Then there's the 1386 Philosopher's Stones or 231 Crystals. You'll need 231 BB's for them (you can choose which one).
Thats 712 BB's in total. If you look at how long it would take to farm 1 million karma and 139 skill points, you probably would go for the SAB wouldn't you? Atleast I know I would
Tips for the Trading Post:
1. Use your crafting skills in conjunction with http://www.guildwarstrade.com/recipes
The cost is the price you'll pay if you buying instantly (not buy orders), the sale price is the lowest price for the item you craft and the profit (my favorite) is the money you'll make (includes 15% tax!).
It also tells you if it's better to craft or buy the ingredients.
2. You like to flip items? Here, have this: http://gw2tp.net/
That site provides you with data for flipping items. It's useful but I haven't made as much profit with this site as I did with as the last one.
Also I'm not really good at flipping items so you'll have to figure that out yourself.
These are the things I've figured out in the last 5 days. If you have questions or have suggestions just post below.
EDIT:
Here's a 3rd tip for the TP:
3. Use http://www.gw2spidy.com/ to check the prices of the rare Super Skins, if rising then buy skins. If still dropping then wait. They'll probably won't rise until the end of the month (I could be wrong though).
