Here I will post my farming spots and routes. Currently I only have one.
North Kryta Province
A very easy route. One trip is usually worth 800-1200 gold minust the salvage kit. But the reason to why I do this is the amount of rare materials. Those drop pretty often and they can make this very profitable.
I usualy do this with Nico, playing as Barrage/Pet Ranger. That might not be the best build, but I haven't been testing it extensively yet. But based on my experiances I advice to take Barrage and Troll Unguent. Bog Skales have Price of Failure, but still Barrage is good because of it's extra damage and ability to hit many targets. Just keep Troll Unguent on at all times when fighting. You will also need Comfort Animal, as your pet is very likely to die few times. I also like to have interrupts, as I hate the Price of Failure. Power Shot is also good for damage dealing. Preparations aren't very useful, as Barrage will stop them.l The rest is pretty much your own choice.
EDIT: I haven't tested, but maybe Trapper build works better.
Leave Lion's Arch and look right. You should see a narrow path. There should be one or two Bog Skale patrols. Just kill them and continue. After that just stay on the boggy area and kill all the Bog Skales you meet. Then go to kill the Fire Imps. (Or you can kill them if you happen to die, they are near the Resurrection Shrine.)
Bog Skales are nice because they drop Bog Skale Fins, which salvage into 3 Scales. The trader pays 70-110 gold for a pile of 10 Scales.
Bog Skales also drop a lot of Bone Staffs and Truncheons and those can be salvaged to Bones and Wood. They also drop some axes, which sometimes salvage into Steel Ingots.
Fire Imps are very nice because nearly every one of them drops somehing. They drop a lot of wands nad Glowing Hearts and sometimes Lump of Charcoal. I've also got adecent amount of other rare crafting materials, like two Rubies (worth. One today and one few months ago. The Ruby I got today was worth 5,5k when sold to trader. Fire Imps also drop surprisingly lot of purple wands.
Both the Bog Skales and Fire Imps are level 11.
I hope you like it.
