Lamplighter's Badge farm (80 gold/h currently)

So somebody has been buying up thousands of Lampighter's Badges (used for crafting Aurene Legendaries) and driving up the trading post price of an item that used to sell for like 50s~ to now selling for 11g (and rising).

So now if you map complete (or do lamplight repeatable achievement) for New Kaineng City - which for me takes ~13 minutes you can get 1 Lamplighter's Badge, a Gift of New Kaineng City (that you can trade into a second Lamplighter's Badge at a heart vendor.) So that's 18-22 gold (sell/buy price) in 13 minutes. (And you get a random exotic from the cache, so that's another 40s-1g).

None of the lamps in NKC are blocked off due to (meta) event progress, so as soon as you finish a run you can go to char select and back to the map to reset the lanterns and go again. At most some of the waypoints temporarily get blocked during part of the meta but that just slows the run down by a minute or two as you have to adapt your route slightly.

Obviously the profitability will decline if lots of people start running this, but then this TP baron twit who has bought up thousands of these also get to choke on his stock, which would be great (why yes, spite is half what motivated this post). And really, even if their price crashes to half of current that's still great for an open world farm that requires zero effort, doesn't require a squad, isn't locked behind event timers and has no diminishing returns. Enjoy.
