Interested?
Then might i suggest you think about the following n fast...

• Character Name reserve by creating a new character.
  
•  T6 Matts horde, get em now before they skyrocket in price - most likely needed to craft precursor
  
•  Level up your chosen character as GW2HoT is a lvl80 expansion.
  
•  Key farm now for weapon tokens n grab some new skins on launch
  
•  Dungeon farm now for some spending money in the Maguuma Wastes
  

I will be online most evenings (not all) if you need help.
See you on the Battle field

Gonna mat farm till I drop and make me some dough whoohoo

another tip for t6 mats is to use your laurels at the laurel vender and buy the "Heavy Crafting Bag" which contains T6 Crafting materials at a cost of 1 laurel per/bag.
The contents varies but is normally worth around 1G if u choose to sell it for the money instead.

Remember the t6 mat prices will only go up if they are needed in HoT - with more armor, precursor & legendary's coming in the expac, i can only "Guess/Assume" T6 mats will have a higher demand.. its not guaranteed!.
But, currently you need to make a "Gift of Magic & Might" to craft a legendary which requires 250 of each T6 mat.. Logic would say this is still needed for the new legendaries too.

If even they are not req as much as expected I can always sell use at little loss so worth the gamble with little risk
