Take the henchmen with you at first if you are low level, because monsters will gang up on you. If you bought the Game of the Year edition you will get an igneous summoning stone to summon a fire imp to fight with you. After the Searing there are far more chances to make gold. Different areas and higher level monsters drop better loot. As you level up, this is a good thing. The imp doesn't take his share of loot or experience like the henchmen do. Once you feel comfortable soloing Old Ascalon, you will start making a bit of guild wars gold.

It's a good idea to identify drops, because one out of ten will identify as improved sale value, which can pay for the cost of the kit. Unless you want to collect materials, there is no point in salvaging items. With two bags and runes of holding you can carry 35 items. When you get a full inventory, map travel back to an outpost and sell off the loot. Farming can be boring, so it's a good idea to do some quests and missions to give yourself a break from the mindless killing to make loot. If you kill enough monsters you will have enough gold and materials to get good armor and fit it out with decent runes.

Also, keep an eye out for players giving away guild wars gold or items in trivia games and hide and seek or races. There are many opportunities to make guild wars gold in Guild Wars, if you put in the time and do some fun work. There is no need to go to high level areas or to wait for level 20 before you start to make some guild wars gold.
