Karma to Gold

[ShazaM.2583]

Hi everyone,

 

I've got just about 8 million karma and have quite literally no idea what to do with it. I was hoping that I could potentially turn that into gold somehow? Does anyone have any advice for that? Thanks in advance!

Buy karma fashion, get tips from random people telling you, you look good!

You just missed the Xmas event. You could have turned karma into presents and sold the presents on the marketplace.

The easiest way that is available year-round is Orrian Jewelry Boxes.  You get them from any karma merchant in Orr, besides Siren's landing.  It's not the most efficient karma-> gold conversion, but it has the fewest steps.

  You can use karma + eternal iceshards (daily farm the big chests) from Bjora Marches map to buy season 4 materials (like mistborn mote or difluorite crystal) and consume those materials to earn volatile magic and use gold + volatile magic to buy trophy chest or leather chest in season 4 maps, and sell those at gains (albeit the value fell over 60% in the last 3 months):

   Is not terribly lucrative, but at least the conversion is easy and fast. But personally I think that stacking throphies for legendary crafting is better due you save the taxes of the transactions.

I added the emphasis in the quote. Not long ago, I could get 1.5 g out of every gold put on trophy shipments that way. In the last few weeks, it has been more like 1.2 g. As of tonight, it is 1.08 g.

Buy Obsidian Shards with Karma. Make Gen1 or Gen3 legendaries and sell on the TP.

You can also wait until next Wintersday and buy Gifts with Karma and sell them on the TP. 

An okay year round sink is to make the Beaded weapons and sell on the TP.

Get a Mystic Forge Conduit (see here for how:  https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge_Conduit_(container)), then go to bloodtide coast and buy leather and clothe crab-grabbin' gloves from the heart vendor Bram Dawnrazer (western most heart in Archen Foreland), mystic forge them, and then salvage what you get back.  Linen scraps and the rugged leather sections are always in high demand.  You can also do the same in a lower level map to get wool and thin leather, normally for about the same profit.
