Fishing Gold is Overhyped… or Is It - GW2 Gold Challenge

How much gold can you really make in Guild Wars 2 with fishing? This is Month 4 of the 12 Month Gold Experiment. For April, I focused entirely on fishing. One of the most debated gold farms in the game. Some guides claim 40… even 50 gold per hour. But instead of chasing perfect conditions, this test is about reality. 20 hours of fishing. From complete beginner… to a more optimized approach. Learning the system, testing different locations, and eventually narrowing it down to one consistent method. The goal is simple. To find out whether fishing actually lives up to the numbers people talk about, when treated as a realistic, repeatable routine. This series is not about perfect efficiency. It is about real numbers from real playtime. And more importantly… understanding where a method works, and where it falls apart. Is fishing actually one of the best gold farms in the game? Or does it rely too much on ideal conditions to be consistent? Let’s find out. 📈 Gold Tracking Spreadsheet Full data breakdown here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/... 🔴 Watch Live I stream Guild Wars 2 regularly on Twitch, including future gold experiments and community runs.   / darkchazy   🌍 Socials Instagram:   / darkchazy   Discord:   / discord   ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 - Intro 00:37 - Why fishing? 00:55 - Quick Basics 01:24 - Phase 1 02:03 - Phase 2 Nika to the rescue 03:00 - Doubting everything 03:18 - Skimmer vs Skiff 03:39 - The real test 04:16 - Gold vs Reality 04:52 - The Rules 05:10 - Final Results 05:42 - Verdict 06:39 - Next Month
