Welcome, fellow adventurers! In this guide, we will explore a solo farming method in Guild Wars 2 that is rarely discussed. Prepare to discover a lucrative and infinitely repeatable farm that can earn you substantial gold per hour. Although there are some nuances to consider when calculating gold per hour, you can still earn a solid income of 1.5 gold every 2 minutes, with the potential to repeat this cycle about 15 times per hour. So, get ready to embark on this solo farming adventure!

Preparation:
Before diving into this farm, you will need to dust off your Burma stuff that you obtained from the Bloodstone World Heights Farm. If you're unfamiliar with that farm, be sure to check out the video on it. For this particular farm, we will be focusing on obtaining a valuable item called special roots. These roots can be farmed at a rate of 35 per 2 minutes, with a respawn time of approximately 2 minutes. This means the farm is entirely repeatable, allowing you to earn a consistent income. Special roots are highly sought after on the auction house because they can be handed in to an NPC to instantly complete one of the hearts in Mount Maelstrom. Players pursuing map completions can save a significant amount of time by utilizing these roots. However, it's important to note that 50 special roots are required to complete a heart.

Calculating Gold Per Hour:
Determining the exact gold per hour can be a bit challenging due to certain factors like respawn timers and the ability to jump to another map instance. If we were to follow standard methods and account for these factors, you could potentially earn about 2.25 gold every 2 minutes or roughly 67.5 gold per hour in this solo farm. However, it's important to be realistic about the market conditions and consider the actual prices you can sell the special roots for. If you choose to sell instantly at the current price, which is closer to 4 silver, you would need to adjust your gold per hour estimate accordingly. It's also worth noting that if you farm thousands of these roots, the gold per hour will decrease. Considering all these factors, it's safe to say that you can gather 35 special roots every 4 minutes, resulting in a still impressive income.

The Farm:
To begin the farm, head to [url=https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bard%27s_Valley]Barst Valley[/url] in Mount Maelstrom on a dead eye. Currently, this is the only class that can maintain permanent stealth, which is crucial for this farm. The area contains mobs with powerful AoE attacks that can quickly down you, so remaining in stealth is essential for survival.

Once you arrive in Barst Valley, locate a cave on the east side of the Waypoint. The entrance to the cave is on the east side of the structure, so you'll need to go around it. Inside the cave, you will find the special roots you're after. These roots have a respawn time of approximately 2 minutes or slightly less, based on recorded footage. Your goal is to pick up all 35 special roots before they respawn.

While waiting for the roots to respawn, take advantage of the downtime by gathering platinum, hardwood, and other valuable materials in the surrounding area. This additional loot adds to the overall profitability of the farm.

Conclusion:
Congratulations! You have now discovered the secret solo farming method that few players talk about. Special roots, which can be obtained in Barst Valley, Mont Maelstrom, provide a consistent and lucrative income. Whether you choose to sell them instantly or list them on the trading post, you can still earn between 3 to 4 silver each. With around 500 special roots being sold daily, ESO Items Market remains steady.

Remember, the prices of items on the auction house can fluctuate. If the prices decline significantly, don't worry! Stay tuned for our upcoming guides, where I'll share other profitable farming methods. This way, you can always switch to a different farm and continue to earn a substantial income.
