Easily make decent gold while you're Karma farming

Quick tips: 

     The biggest thing you've got to grasp is that its the small costs you absorb regularly that chip away at your in-game wealth.  Managing the small transactions will get you richer faster.  The days of massive margins trading on the trading post are over, and there are no more get-rich-quick schemes.

     The second thing is you have to start doing comparisons between vendor prices vs. selling prices on the trading post.  If its not a healthy margin of say, 20ish copper, I vendor it.  You've still got a 5% listing fee on everything you sell.

Basic Salvage Kit

• Use Basic Salvage Kits for salvaging blue and white items.  They're considerably cheaper than the Fine, Journeyman's, and Master's.
• You will still get Orichalcum Ore and Gossamer Scraps regularly.
• Vendor all of the green drops you get. (1 to 2 silver each)
• Vendor most of the junk Sigils you get unless you can quickly sell them on the TP.
• Most you can't because they suck and nobody wants them.
• Use Black Lion Salvage Kits (or Masters Salvage Kits) to salvage rares that drop so you get Globs of Ectoplasm.
• Don't waste your time or gold building a set of Magic Find gear.



Omnomberry Tart

• Use Omnomberry Tarts (+30%)
• The Omnomberry Bars are too expensive because Vanilla Beans are hard to find.
• The tarts give the same Magic Find as the bars anyway.
• Use Magic Find Boosters. (+50%)
• You can get 5 from the BLTP for 550 gems (approximately 2.5g) and they last an hour.
• Mine and gather everything (as time permits).  You only need Mithril tools for doing this (another savings over the Orichalcum tools) unless you're gathering from Orrion Saplings and Orichalcum Veins.

     As an Elementalist you can do most of your salvaging/selling while you're killing the Abomination at the end of the Plinx event, or killing Broodmother.  Right click the boss and auto-attack, then sort out your inventory by salvaging/selling.  The point isn't even to make gold if you're Karma farming... but you can easly pull down 2-3+ gold per hour (unless you keep mats needed for crafting).
