Farming gold with "Prosperous" trait?

Hello everybody,

Most of us have our ways to farm gold - farming motifs, grinding in IC, stealing 140 items a day, daily writs, etc, etc, etc.

But has anyone tried farming GOLD itself with Prosperous trait? That could be especially interesting for Imperials, who recently got +1% gold gained.

At the moment I tried to farm some humanoids for gold but the result seems even worse than I expected. Maximum amount of gold for humanoid (if he even drops some gold) is 30-32.

So I wonder if this trait and imperial passive are completely worthless or there is a decent way we can get use of it?

    Actually its waste of gold.

    Becouse when you use impenetrable trait(gear is breaking slower) you save more monay than you earn with prospeus

    For short: don't bother. Run normal trials, sell gear for a few thousands, and you'll make more gold selling some items that Prosperous will ever give you.

    When you start selling armor parts for 40-50k each, you won't even think about getting gold with Prosperous.

    You'd be much better off looting containers and selling provisioning ingredients on a guild store.

    i tried this and was doing about 50k for an hour and a half. Its not really worth because of how often you need to repair

    Like the other posters have said already, prosperous is not good for farming. This is because of several factors.
    Your gear doesn't lose durability to damage but to xp gained, which means that the impenetrable is what is going to help you while you farm (your armour will take only half the damage whilst farming). Some of the better farming spots are in Imperial City and having impenetrable traited gear is going to help you if you run into someone (since impenetrable reduces their crits, also you save money on gear since you can farm in pvp gear). Finally, the amount of gold that you gain whilst farming, even with full prosperous is small compared to monster drops and items that you will gain as you farm. As in the gold you will gain as a pure drop will probably cover for your armour repairs while you make bank on raw material drops, monster drops, deconstructing items, selling jewelry and selling special drops and items that are worth more in the guild trader market rather than deconstructing.

    Prosperous was invented to dilute loot tables. They should rename it preposterous.

    It really is some bull that training and preposterous (see what I did there) are in vet loot tables now even though pre-patch training and exploration were not. They just want to water down your drink and ask for cash money tips.

    After using for farming, i regret it. Figured hey might as well grind 300 cp with this on but i literally don't see a difference. Pretty lame and waste of 160 mats. I should have researched. Fml
