I didn't get around to this, but for now...

- Choose a class armor set since BiS gear (Ascended) can be traded between characters of the same armor type
(ex. You can switch your raid armor between any medium armor classes in the future; so keep all 3 classes in consideration when deciding on a main.)

- Focus on understand combat mehcanics as a priority. Gear and money are easier to acquire than player skill.

- Log in daily for laurel rewards
- Save laurels, spirit shards, karma
- Salvage level 76+ blues + greens with Basic Salvage Kit for luck
- Salvage level 76+ yellows + orange with Masters Salvage Kit or higher for ectoplasm
- Level crafting for armors and weapons for your main class

- PVE: Fractals and open world events for gold
- PVP: Unranked PVP gives decent money (15g a day cap), but also crafting mats and currencies with no gold sink.
- Farmers: Gather crafting mats and play the auction house.
- Rich People: Buy GEMS and convert when conversion rate is low. Look on the left where it says 1g, 10g, 100g, 250g, etc. You want the gem number to be LOW, meaning you spend less gems for that 100g.

Farm Vision Crystal Mats
- Bloodstone Bricks will come from just playing the game and opening chests/bags
- Dragonite Ore are from World Bosses, PVP, and Silverwastes Chest Farming
- Empyreal Fragments are from Dungeons, PVP, and Silverwastes Chest Farming

I'm not too much on farming, but If you need account bound materials for ascended gear, I find Silverwastes to be very efficient for all of dragonite, empyreal and bloodstone and even obsidian shard. Just make sure you always have some keys at the end of the meta events, there is always around 5-10 bandit chests after the final boss goes down.
