I feel like the last notion is the most important. Enjoy all parts of Guild Wars, don't just farm one thing, every day. From large Meta Events (HoT-Trio, Dragonstand & -fall, Drizzlewood) to smaller ones; to Dungeons, Fractals, Raids. To fishing and trading; to WvW, PvP ... even doing JPs. Min-maxing, I personally feel like, quickly drains; faster than other, grindier games, for some reason (BDO comes to mind).
can confirm, I was a hardcore min maxer for farming, spent hours in dragonfall and then drizzlewood, burned myself so hard I stopped playing for like 8 months, now I'm back and taking it slower and find joy in gw2 again 🙌 I still sometimes do dragonfall or drizzlewood but alternating with some other metas, some days I just fish haha. The funny thing is I still manage to make legendaries at a good pace but this time I don't feel tired as hell when done so I can actually enjoy them lol
suggestion from a maniac: firebeetle bait and repeat the firering collection over and over again, i'm now at my 72nd repetition and i'm not yet insane (i think) -you never have to swap baits -there's only one daytime and 2 nighttime fish in the whole collection(both in emberbay) -it's always daytime in draconis mons -you get a bit of a bonus everytime you complete the collection -you get to enjoy people complaining about the druidstone collection every time you are in draconis mons -you can get both worldclass and saltwater fish to complete either collection its probably not the most efficient way to make gold, but most definetly the most braindead one, since you only have to pay attention to your bait and lure, you just gotta make sure you have some spare
For me, the Infinite Fishing Lure (100 fishing power) was a quality of life gem store purchase. Also the Treasure Isles Lounge is a great way to get your toons to fishing spots all through Tyria and the expansions. Fishing past level 45 helps leveling too! Level 45 is when you can consume “150 fishing power” food which you want.
Great guide, made 38g in 1 hr in Crystal Oasis, although have done much worse on other occasions :) 1 item missing from the guide, you may need cat treats, as fishing while a cat is watching the monitor proved problematic 😂 until they invent transparent cats, they seem to enjoy even virtual fish...
Nice vid man, very well and clearly explained, and peaceful too, which is rare to find in guides. It's always: HELLO TODAY IMA TEACH YOU HOW TO MAKE GOLD!! So props for that ;) Subbed
If you're on EU and want to fish with other people for quick 99 stacks, open LFG -> Path of Fire -> Crystal Oasis. There's usually a squad for fishing. Day fishing at crystal oasis, night fishing at New Kaineng channels (so not port, like this guide says, but inside the city, gph is about the same and does not require mackerel). Now go fish 24/7 and drop those ambergris prices like there's no tomorrow! Don't forget to instasell! :)
Edit: Domain of Kourna with Scorpion Bait is now the most profitable map for Daytime Fishing! Will update this comment if that ever changes again To get max gold/hour you need all the buffs mentioned in the video. To get to 99 stacks of "Fishing Party Catches" buff, work with fellow gamers to get it fast! If you have 99 stacks, offer them to others by inviting them to your party! Ask in map chat for them! The more you help others, the more people help you. GW2 community is really wholesome and helpful and all you need to do is ask!
@CoffeeDart Gaming Great tips! The animation cancel was super handy. Only did it for about 45 mins and i found 4 leg fish! This is such a nice change of pace from my normal meta spam. I subscribed. Thankyou!
Thanks! Ask in map chat if anyone fishing has 99 stacks already and you can join their party to instantly get the stacks! I have found people are really helpful with that. Or if you find a few others, you can join forces to quickly get to 99stacks. Its really helpful to have those Edit: also, when you catch your last fish in a fishing node, dont wait for the animation, you can use your stow weapon button to cancel the animation and quickly move on to the next node
hope god of rng be with you guys i have fished for a hour and only get 2 leg fish and 3 ascend fish but you can make around 35-40 g /hr if you are lucky btw subscribed ^_^
I had over 900 fishing power, with a fishing party that has 99 stacks, did that several times at crystal desert, used scorpions at day and mackerel at night and still only got barely 10 gold in 1 hour and 30 minutes, im just unlucky like that xD
The price of ambergris has tanked recently, now you're looking at only about 20 gold per hour. Still not bad at all, but nowhere near what this video purports.
Do you mean the one from "Item Booster" buff? If so, then it should work. The usual fishing node without the buff gives you 3 fishes/node but with the buff you should get anywhere from 3-5/node
Nope, not even close to 36 g/h. You must be REALLY lucky to catch enough fish for 30-36 gold per hour even in Crystal Oasis. My results for 6 hours fishing is 12-20 gold per hour with all these masteries, buffs, lures, etc.
You only need to farm 1 fish on the leaders skiff if they already have the 99 stacks. Then you can leave the party and as long as you have a skiff you won’t lose the 99 stacks.
Yes there is! Specifically, The Stacking buff that goes up to a max stack of 99. Its 1 fish for 1 stack. so if you have a party of 5 people on the same skiff, you can generate these stacks very fast. If you are alone, it takes a long time to catch 99 fishes. If someone already has 99 stacks, you can join their party, get on their skiff and then summon your own skiff and then leave their party to get their 99 stacks. People in this game are very helpful and all you need to do is ask. Do try and pay it forward though if someone asks for your fishing stacks. Enjoy Fishing!
cant do this fishing is so f... BORING and i asleep after 5 min ... and u do this for hours ? REALLY ? Oo ... this at all sounds so sad .. lol there are a way better methodes to get gold x'D but good luck Zzzz....
I dont do it every day.. it's pretty chill to fish while listening to a podcast or an audio book, all the while earning decent gold in the game.. it makes for a nice break from the insane apm meta event farming and I get closer to crossing off books from my to read/listen list for the year
This is the bullshit that's ruining this formerly great goldfarm. Someone always has to come and share the goddamn secret and undercutters always show up to fuck over the price. ffs it was good while it lasted

@Roland Szabó idk, i never measured it
how much gold you can get / hour?
What a great guide! I wish all GW2 guides were as clear and well thought out as this one.

If that happens, just eat your cat. YUMMY!

Great guide, can’t wait for more
this guide is very enlightening! thank you for that.

You can check the in game time of day on the mini map if you have the setting turned on.
PRO tip: you can turn on day/night cycle notification in settings - time and it will then show on minimap, no need checking on wiki

@Baltemos what do you *beep* mean? it sounded *beep* just fine to me
great video! but please change your fire alarm battery.
This was very informative thankyou so much. About to go try some fishing!

Damn I just do the 10 Levi farm and call it a day, but mackerel has seemed annoying to get. BRAZY that you can make this much gold just by fishing lol
Usually 10-15 gold an hour for me lol and I’m at 850 fishing crystal oasis
Shout-out to anybody else who ran around their house trying to find the smoke detector that was low on batteries after watching
I have them changed now haha
I immediately rewound the video just to make sure. I was like, "I just changed the batteries last week!"
This is quite "E-fish-ient" :)
Also, you should replace the battery in your smoke detector.
clear explain guide. keep it up
Thank you so much just subbed! ❤️ ❤️ any tips or guides for karma gold farm? I'm sitting on so much karma that I don't know what to do with it... ^^
The price of ambergris has tanked recently, now you're looking at only about 20 gold per hour. Still not bad at all, but nowhere near what this video purports.
Sir, does magic find have an effect on fishing?
Not sure if it works with everyone, I just spent several hours fishing... I'm struggling to reach 5 PO
Great video, liked and subscribed
What do u do when u don’t need to farm gold and gear and get bored of doing raids fractals and wvw xD ?
Flex
I think the Extra Gathering Strike doesn't work with fishing, right?
I've been at it for 30 minutes and didn't get evn ONE extra fish from it yet
Do you mean the one from "Item Booster" buff? If so, then it should work. The usual fishing node without the buff gives you 3 fishes/node but with the buff you should get anywhere from 3-5/node
Thnx man this will be helpful
Plate of Crispy Fish Pancakes is way better than Redfish Sushi
Efficient guide
Nope, not even close to 36 g/h. You must be REALLY lucky to catch enough fish for 30-36 gold per hour even in Crystal Oasis. My results for 6 hours fishing is 12-20 gold per hour with all these masteries, buffs, lures, etc.
Is this still viable?
What is the gold per hour of loins arch day and night
FYI the time of day is in the corner of the mini map as well!
you have to toggle that in the settings afaik
the standard should be realtime, so you gotta set it from local time to tyrian time
3:55 change the battery in your smoke detector.
Hi is there any advantage of fishing with other ppl?
You only need to farm 1 fish on the leaders skiff if they already have the 99 stacks. Then you can leave the party and as long as you have a skiff you won’t lose the 99 stacks.
Yes there is! Specifically, The Stacking buff that goes up to a max stack of 99. Its 1 fish for 1 stack. so if you have a party of 5 people on the same skiff, you can generate these stacks very fast. If you are alone, it takes a long time to catch 99 fishes.

People in this game are very helpful and all you need to do is ask. Do try and pay it forward though if someone asks for your fishing stacks. Enjoy Fishing!
I only want my pc having shorter loading times xD
3:53 the fire alarm lmao put some batteries in there
Subbed!
Sounds like someone needs to replace the batteries in their smoke detectors.
And that is filed away as an option. TY XD
Hey you should check your smoke alarm, maybe change the battery...
But is it fun?
Dude, change batteries in your smoke detector.
Bro replace your fire alarm batteries
here's the problem with fishing... You need gold in the first place to buy the shit that would even get you anything of profit.
It doesn't work anymore. It's been like two months now. 20 gold per hour is what you can get.
I have been fishing for a while now and i have never made 30g per Hour in crystal oasis. And i don't think you have.
Yea fishing is profitable but that shit is boring as fuck.
Just as boring as my 10,000th round of Silverwastes.:P
great guide but so two face, KOIN are bunch of toxic players in wvw, but sooo polite at here :o
cant do this fishing is so f... BORING and i asleep after 5 min ... and u do this for hours ? REALLY ? Oo ... this at all sounds so sad .. lol there are a way better methodes to get gold x'D but good luck Zzzz....
