I can solo vermin down by senji's corner, but I don't think it is really worth it, the green is only worth 500g...
If so, anyone have an good solo farming spots for an axe war/monk?
Thanks. -Arnack
Vermin Farming even worth it?

Vermins are worth it, it pays quite well imo for such an easy run. As for that green, it doesent drop much for me anyways, I just give it away when it does.
MercenaryKnight
I don't think people farm vermin for the green I think it's because vermin can drop celestial items. So mainly they are just wishing for that gold max +15%^50 low req weapon to drop. That would be my guess anyway.
leetfeet
people farm them for the drops to sell to merch and make 3k in a 5 min run'
Arnack
Ah ok.. but I only got about 1.5k the whole run, killing all the vermin, salvaging and identifieing everything..
Is there any other spot to farm like this?

i kill them for materials, salvage everything, and you should come out with some steel, iron, and some other stuff too. you can also salvage the hides for scales which are going pretty good right now.
DOCB22
the Koi scepters are great for steel and iron. the vermin hides can be sold for 20g each or what I do is save them and when I get 250 I tade them in @ the collector just outside and get an extra 25g per 5 hides witch is 6,250g

I farmed them when I needed some scales for my Ranger's 15K Canthan. Great and easy way to farm scales IMO.
Dobermann
Yes, they are worth it, i got my best run from them (best amount of money i got) from Vermin, onyl 1796 or somming like that 
StonePony
I also get Canthan keys and an occasional silver dye. Plus it's kind of fun.

instead of trading in the hides salvage them to Scales, right now the vender buys 10 scales for 100gp, 1 hide is 4-5 scales, so usually with 2 hides you can make an extra 60gp each.
I probably just lowered the price on scales

Is that with a 2k salvage kit or the 100g?

i also got 2 black dyes in 1 run once. lucky me!
Arnack
Yeah, I always get some keys, and I use those for Chest Running down in Nephui Quarter. Are there any other GOOD places to farm like this? Everyone says Trolls drop crap.

Just use a normal salvage kit for the hides and sell the hides to the material trader. You'll make bank.

I get about 3k per run...you kill the vermin at the end and go into the portal to Wajjun bazaar, then warp back for another run. I got lucky one, got a Celestial sword and 20 steel ingots.
Better than trolls...

I will vouch, I've gotten 3 celestial shields and a hammer (the shields sucked, but the hammer was req.8 15%/stance) as drops from the vermin. I'll get about 1 purple every other trip, and the gold celestial items are pretty rare, bout 1 every 10 trips or more.
I timed it tonight, I made around 15k in about an hour and a half. That's about 1.5k each trip, then salvaging hides for scales, swords/axes/shields/rods for iron and steel, then selling all the materials. To be honest, other than Ettins, this is my first real farming I've ever done and it seems pretty profitable. I've since tried Minotaurs and Trolls, but neither yielded anything near what I make at the Vermin.
I hope I didn't just ruin it for everyone, lol.
EDIT: oh and yeah, dyes drop at least 2 per trip. Haven't seen any blacks yet, but have had a few silver and plenty of the other colors.

In my experience non max celestials I've gotten a lot of em bow with +5 energy, 15 enchanted daggers, etc. Good mods lame dmg I am afraid. But hey if you get a real sweet mod

Of the four gold celestial items I got, only one of them was non-max, one shield which was at 14 AL. The others had max stats & [mostly] max mods. The chests in that area are real bad about dropping non-max stuff, gold or not. So I suggest only using keys that the Vermin drop.

I never farm there for the green. I have had it drop 7 times roughly 25% I have a TOUGH time even selling that item. I kept one in storage just to have one but what I have found is the drops are really never great. Even running the chests is very poor for me. I think one gold drop in probably 20 but it was a very nice bow. Luckily I never buy keys I have always had good luck of them dropping from vermin. Usually I get some piece of crap dagger worth 40 gp The way I make money is from the gold, hides and I have also had great luck salavaging the scepters and the staves into steel. I have over 100 pieces of steel from just a few farm runs. It will come in handy for my Kurzick 15K. I like this run because it is short and quick to do. You can clear the area in 10 minutes and be back in town for more. Once in awhile I get some dyes,nothing major but fortunately I was dying armour green and I got three greens from there so it saved me some money. Probably not the most profitable area but it is quick and easy.

or u could do the smart thing and notice the collector u run by on this farm and make 125 gold on 5 hides...wich is more then double ur 100 gold for for 10 since every 10 i have im making 250...srry if that sounded rude...its getting kinda late im kinda cranky

That is only 25g more than merchanting though, 250 vermin hides salvaging to scales and selling to trader is 6k profit.
arcanemacabre
Yeah, salvaging the hides is much more profitable.
10 hides = 2 collector items = 250g
or
10 hides salvaged = 50 scales = around 500g (depending on value at the time)
2x the amount. Highly suggested, at least until scales severely drop in price.

I guess if you like it nice and slow use that ^^ 
Well ive never had anything better than a 13>50 rams hammer in a year playing guild wars (ive made 10X more trading than farming) so gold drops in the game dont conern me. All i look for is most items and gold in shortest amount of time, and this is a great one.

Zerimar
I love this run. I get some gold celestial drops from vermin, but i bring 2 canthan keys with me and i check the chests. Almost everytime i get a gold celestial weapon. Some are max, but most are near perfect. And salvaging the hides for scales is choice.
Ecksor
Gladiator's Defense and Sliver Armor are great combined together... You can think up the rest.
jordie
You could take balthazars aura for energy management and/or bonnetis defence (charges instantly after cyclone axe) this allows you to use as much cyclone axes as possible without getting a zealous mod.

I use a Rt/Me Vengeful build for farming these guys. Works really well and real quick.
Vengeful was Khankei
Vengeful Weapon

Arcane Echo
Ancestral Visage
Sympathetic Visage

Gather up all the vermin in the end patrol and have some fun. Just cast Physical, Channeling, Ancestral and Arcane before going in. Can take out the entire group in two rounds of Vengeful was Khankei usually.

Can take out the entire group in two rounds of Vengeful was Khankei usually. Same build as I use too for my Rit. I do the run, kill all the vermin up to the portal, then go through the portal and trade some vermin hides for Salvage or ID kits from the collector, then back through the portal and muller all the vermin again. I generally keep all the hides I dont trade above and the rest of the drops I sell to the merchant.
I almost always make about 3K. Very worth while seeing as it only takes around 20 minutes.

what kind of crafting material can you get from them? I usually just id and sell to merchant.
They do drop a lot of Koi Scepters which salvages to iron or steel (using a sup. salvage kit). I tend to farm them when I need iron or steel for armor.
