How to make gold in Ashes of Creation

Glint Farming

Glint is a bound currency dropped by mobs and players, which can be sold to vendors for gold. This is the main way of getting gold in Ashes of Creation as a beginner as most mobs will drop Glint when killed. The Fighter is a particularly good class for this gold making method due to its high cleave damage and ability to pull a lot of mobs and kill them solo without need for a party.

This method is also very good for the solo players looking to farm a bit of gold whenever they aren't doing group content or leveling up. Keep in mind however that glint is also earned as a group when farming together and stacking the glint is also good in case you want to give Caravans a try and lower the investment by farming the glint by hand and turning it into a caravan.

The main 3 Glint you should be farming are the Dull, Dim and Glowing Glint as these are the main ones you will come across while remaining relatively easy to farm even before you reach max level.

This is the base level Glint and the most common of them all, dropped from mobs at the beginning of the game and in larger qualities as you advance and start killing higher level mobs. One Dull Glint is worth 10 copper and 10 can be turned into one Dim Glint by right clicking them in your inventory, helping with inventory management.

Dim Glint is the second most common Glint in AoC and plenty of it drops once you've pushed to killing mobs around level 10. One Dim Glint is worth 1 silver and you can right click 10 of them in the inventory to turn them into Glowing Glint.

While some of the Glowing Glint drops from mobs, the main way of getting it remains to turn Dim Glint into Glowing Glint. This rare glint version is worth 10 silver when sold to the vendor and many players usually stack it in order to make materials for caravans and snowball into even more gold.
