When i heard about the new weapons i decided to farm the wardens outside of aborstone (explorable). I used a fiery sephis axe of pruning. (max dmg, 15^50, and 20% pruning would be ideal, however i had 19% pruning).

13/14 axe mastery
10 tactics
rest into strenght

Dolyak signet
Healing signet
Triple chop (e)
Disrupting chop
Executioners strike
Watch yourself
Bonettis defense
Penetrating chop

You could switch disrupting chop for disrupting blow, this build uses nearly no energy anyways.
The idea is to run in, get to the ritualists, who will heal the other wardens. Once there, put up dolyak and watch yourself. Start chopping away, using triple chop to get some area damage (forces ritualist to heal not only themselves, but also their allies), and build up adrenaline quickly. Be aware that the warriors will use None Shall Pass when you are storming in. Use disrupting chop if they have taken some damage to disrupt the spirit light. Do not use it when you see em casting because you will be too late. It has a normal swinging time. Good luck!

they drop gothic stuff, ive gotten a few gothic dual axes, lots of tanned hide, good merchant stuff, the new shield, i just run a spirit bond monk, sooo easy, i can aggro around 12 wardens or more at a time and watch them all die. i use ele resist with the build and take out essence bond. so...
spirit bond
SoJ
Prot Spirit
Blessed Sig
Retribution
Blessed AUra
Balthazars Spirit
Ele Resist

16 smite +1 + 3
13 prot + 3
9 divine + 1
Minor rune of vigor

very simple and goes fairly quick.

By the way, how do u exactly 55'ing wardens in Arbostone ? warden of the leaf(or spirit or something else) uses 'shatter enchantments', and actually u cant avoid it at the beggining of the mission.
Can u explain some or show me thread bout thise. R u covering PS with something ( but if you r, u still cant avoid its removing (at least 3 or 4 wardens there who shattering u)) ?

standard 55 build should do and while you are at it, you can kill some bosses there too. (warrior / ranger)

Location: Arborstone (Explorable)
Target 1: Wardens. Except when there's an Ele in the group.
Target 2: Stonereaper dude. (necro boss)

1) Soothing Memories
2) Ancestor's Visage
3) Sympathetic Visage
4) Arcane Echo
5) Vengeful Was Khanei
6) Nightmare Weapon
7) Physical Resistance
8) Channeling

You don't need expensive runes/items/weapons to make this run.
Any armor will do as well.
Physical Resistance isn't really needed. But it can help a lot when you face the necro boss.
Stay out of casting range for the boss.
As for the wardens... lure the three groups at the start of the Explorable. (Don't activate the Song & Stone quest)

I dont know what you're smoking guys.

The wardens in Arborstone explorable(the one you go to when you exit Alterun Ruins) NEVER drop ANYTHING good. I farmed them hundereds of times for fur and hides, but they dont drop anything else but that. I got a crappy superior rune once. That's it. No guardians of the hunt, no gold weapons, nothing.... (I use the spirit bond build with Retribution, SOJ and balanced stance)

Someone said the wardens that strip you dont spawn there... That's BS. Only the first 2 groups are farmable. The rest cant be handled. At least with currently known builds. I tried to kill Ryver for his shortbow, but his warden friends own be by stripping me of enchants.

The only thing you could do is go way to the right and farm the stone statues. They drop stone carvings that sell quite well, but aside from that, they never drop anything good. I killed the warrior hammer boss and his friends like 70 times and they never dropped a gold.

I'm not sure what YOU are smoking!!!

Most people farm for generic stuff to sell to get money and this place is as good as any other easily farmable place in that regard.

I think YOUR definition of farming is a bit off - farming is just killing a lot of stuff fast/easily and you can farm all the warden groups without a problem I do it all the time with my W/Rt.

ibex is seeing wardens of the spirit xD.
But seriously only the groups of Ryver has a chance to spawn 1 mesmer with shatter ench!.
and the drops here from the warden are almost never rare. so if you want t hunt in Arborstone explorable for that shield just sell the stuff that drops and buy keys.
overall the chest drops there were not bad IMHO.

Edit: typo's
