Now, I assume this is on your Mid chars, as they are the lvl 50 ones.

For money making, there are several ways:

Scroll Farming - Hardly worth it, as you mentioned
Aurulite Farming - Steady incoming, but boring
Modernagrav - You get money drop and if you got 2 accounts, you can PL a new toon, or make even more money by letting someone else pay you P for PL
DF farming - Best if you got a Tank (Zerker/sav/warrior/thane) + BB and then just go there farming diamond seals for a day, 10g a piece for non-crafters, 14.xG a piece if you are able to salvage yourself

All of the above have a steady income, 1 hour = X amouth of gold

There are some more risky ones, item farmings, where an item dropping can be instant fortune or the hole battle can end up being complete waste.
And most, if not all, requires a group to do, so even when it drop, you got to hope to roll good for lotto

1: Immolated Ring, ML1.1, always worth a good amouth of plats
2: Plaited Hair Of Malamis: From Malice Axe Encounter, tank belt, 10p+ almost instant sell.
3: Darkspire! Join lots of Darkspire raids, specially go for DEX and ACU items, first DEX items (Dex Ring being surpreme number 1), then other DEX stuff, then ACU stuff, etc etc, all is worth a good amouth of P, key is for it to be a non-armour, non-weapon item with +CAP to either DEX, ACU or STR mostly, CON too a times, QUI can be worth lots, but dont count to much on it!

EDIT: There are alot more items worth money out there, a good idea is to check the trading forums for MID on the cluster and see what items sell for high amouths, then try and get that item :)

Scroll farming should be a really good way to make money. I admit I havent played on euro servers for 6 months, but when 1.82 hit on US there were certain scrolls in high demand, especially meso scrolls. Arbiter 1 and 3 should be in good demand? Im not up to the play with euro economy so I could be wrong :(

Arbiter 3/3 seems quite common at least. The fishies seem to have a certain chance of dropping *any* Meso scroll, so I think there are no uber-rare scrolls at all, just scrolls that people need more than others. Arbiter's scrolls are a good example, as almost all templates have CB in it :)

Arbiters goes for roughly 200g atm :x (3 for 200g on my cm).

Every other scroll goes for under 1p minus EoY scrolls, Zo' scrolls and a couple of other randoms like Tyrus etc.

Basically, my only enjoyable way of income has vanished and I'm left to wonder whether I should roll a chanter just to be able to ToA toons.

Get a group and do Halls of Helgard. You can make 1p per run through it, probably more if you don't actually go do the 5 bosses but just roam the dungeon or set up a farm spot as the repop rate is pretty high.

You could probably do it without a group, just it's obviously faster with one but you and a bot should get decent cash off the mobs in there if you're a tank type.

Or PoC groups and sell the realm respec stones that drop, although they seem to be dropping less so maybe they are going to go up in price again.

Darkspire raids I think do well enough or doing DF when it's open.

I personally prefer doing Liches in Midgard, with my ml1 infil and a 3% pickpocket bonus. It's slow going but I get champ XP and make between 5g and 8g a pop.

only bad thing is that it's in the frontiers and you cant bitch about being killed by people :(
