Midas Touch
This is one of the few ways to make trade gold in the game, so it is worth a try. Plus, it is rather easy. It's only downside is that one of the items necessary to complete it must be purchased with trade gold or Eyrda leaves.
Midas Touch quest can be taken from Christopher, the same npc in FH that gives you the trade run quest. He will have 3 quests each day for you. You must have both a Mercury Statue and an Alchemy Proxy for each of these quests. You can get the statues from AH, a player shop, or buying them from Eyrda Boutique. The alchemy proxy can be obtained from Lawrence or by hitting G. You will need guild merit to pick up these proxies.
For each quest that you complete, you will get one Mercury Revelation that can be read to directly receive a reward, or you can save a few of these and trade them in for something else to get a possibly larger reward. In order to exchange the mercury coupons that you receive from this quest for gold, you must have mercury reputation points. You can get these points by completing trade runs.
The first quest is simply to deliver a package to an npc in FH in a given period of time. If you get in your flying mount and accelerate through the whole delivery, you will easily complete this task.
The second quest is gathering materials. It is basically the same as the first quest, but instead of delivering something to an npc, you are getting something from them. Again, flying mount on acceleration should make this a breeze.
The last one is the catalyst quest. Go to Twilight Town. Directly behind the trackstone you will find an alchemy tutor that will have a quest for you. There are three items on the table in front of him. He will ask you to put three things into the cauldron. All you need to do is put whatever the npc tells you to into the cauldron in the given amount of time then wait until the timer is done. While the golden catalyst is brewing, you will be able to pick up the residue as an extra reward. In exchange for the residue, the npc will give you a high level botany item - these usually sell well in AH if you are not interested in making anything with them. You need to complete this mix 2x to successfully complete this midas quest.

Construction Complete! Architect Society Lv2
This building is now complete! This building reduces the cost of future builds as well as adding to a variety of guild points.
We can not start a new build at this time as the builds that we have left require more economy or zeal than we have at the moment. We are pretty close to having the zeal we need, so if we work hard, we should be building again either tonight or tomorrow.
Keep up the good work doing those guild quests!

Weekly Event: Eternal Belief
Day: Tuesday
Time: 20:00 - 22:30
Level: 10+
Required/recommended items:
Location: various locations
Eternal Belief (EB) is the Tuesday weekly event. It can be done at a variety of levels and can be completed solo, although a party is highly recommended (depending on the end area you choose, it may create a lot of scorn if you solo).
There are three stages to this event. Breaking the seal, killing the enchanted mobs that appear once the seal is broken, and killing the boss that comes once you have killed your mobs. Since the boss is one per server and certain guilds monopolize this boss, for our purposes, the quest is just two stages.
Stage 1: Breaking the Seal
Visit Vassily in FH. He will give you a quest to help break the seal that has been put over the land. Vassily's buddy will also look like he has a quest for you, however, you will not actually be able to pick up this quest until the seal is broken.
To break this seal you must kill mobs near your level or higher. As you kill these mobs, an item will appear in your bag called an oracle. Read these as you get them - it can help to put them in your quick-bar so that you can see when they show up without having your bag open constantly (I do the same for the souls in HR - works marvelously!).
Good things to do while breaking the seal include GT, GT2, LCS, your level fissure, Dragon Orders, Phoenix Order, Bounties --- pretty much anything that you will be killing a large amount of mobs of the level appropriate to you. And although you can skip the oracle part of this event and just help others open it, or just wait until it has been open and move on to stage 2, those oracles give you lots of exp and the more people opening the oracles means the more people that can get through stage 2.
Stage 2: Killing the Enchanted Mobs
This is where it gets a bit tricky, so be sure to read thoroughly and follow the directions.
There will be an announcement in wc when the seal breaks. This announcement is hard to catch, so one way to to see when it is time is to periodically check back in with Vassily's friend Sheaton or the area npc Milanna to see if his quest is available yet. Once Milanna pops up, enough oracles have been read and the quest is available. If you are at Sheaton, just keep checking to see if he has a quest for you. He will offer you a choice of where you would like to help out - as these mobs are all over Forsaken World. You want the one that will bring you to Milanna if possible.
Choose [69] Jadegloss Lake if you would like a massive amount of wineglasses as your reward.
Update 07/16/2013: I did some experimenting and it seems that any of the Enchanted Vines quests will work for the wineglasses.
The basic steps here are:
If you choose the location with the vines, you really should be in a party. This is the most popular spot, for obvious reasons, and you might get a scolding by others and most likely, your place in line will be not be honored. However, you can show up solo and see if you can jump into a party that is already there.
Also, holders are honored by most players, so have one of your party hold a spot while the remaining party completes the oracle portion. Once one member maxes on oracles, have them switch with the holder so that they can get oracles as well.
Note: anyone lv 69+ can pick up the second part of the quest from Milanna directly, so no need to run back to Freedom Harbor to talk to Sheaton. If your char is under lv 69, you will need to go back to FH to take whichever enchanted vine quest that Sheaton may be offering you. (I had a lv 62 bard that got a [62]Jadegloss Lake enchanted vine quest and it gave wineglasses too.)
Stage 3: Boss
As I said before, this boss is going to most likely be long dead by the time you are finished with stage 2. You can use the teleport device in your bag to get to the location, but you will most likely never find the boss.

Update 07/16/2013: I did some experimenting and it seems that any of the Enchanted Vines quests will work for the wineglasses.
The basic steps here are:
- Take the quest from Vassily's friend Sheaton.
- Auto-route to the location
- Do not take the quest from the npc you find there
- Check to see how many parties are waiting ahead of you
- Multiply this by 30mins and add this to the time left on the active party
- This total will be the amount of time you will have to wait before taking the quest
- If you will still have time to start your quest before the quest closes, stay put and wait your turn
- If you will not have enough time, realm hop to find a less crowded realm
- Until it is your turn, do not take the quests or kill anything -- just wait
- Once it is your turn, you may take the quest from the npc
- You must take the quest before the event entry ends (22:30)
- Once you take the quest, you will have 30 minutes to kill as many enchanted vines as you can
- For every enchanted vine your party kills, you get a wineglass!
- Be sure to turn in the quest before the timer is up
- Do not turn in this quest right away - once it is turned in, you are done for the week
- You can not get this quest again if it times out, is abandoned, or turned in too soon
- And you only get your reward if you turn in before it times out - similar to the Balloon Bonanza.
