I've been practicing VWK farming, and I've been doing well at it.

However, what's the best place for VWK farming? I've been doing Arborstone VWK farming for materials...should pay off when Nightfall is released. (I can usually get a full stack of Tanned Leather...if they go at 40g apiece like at the beginning of Factions, that's a theoetical 10k per run.)

(Also, don't say UW. America doesn't have favor that often.

Just outside Maatu Keep. the Undergrowths and Kirins outside can all be aggroed at once, and is like a 2 min run. With a VWK farmer, aggro into 2 seperate groups, as a warrior, you can do the whole aggro at once.

Not the best drops, but you can get a good amount of iron, steel, plant fibers, glittering dust, wood, and Spiritwood Planks all from just drops AND salvaging. You get golds rarely, purples sometimes, blues often. You also get Kurzick keys fairly often too, i currently have amassed 60 kurzick keys from farming maatu so often. My war does the full aggro quite often, however i been using my VWK farmer for Maatu lately for variety, and even with 2 aggros instead of 1, it still is fast...

Also, to avoid the farming code, instead of zoning into town after a run, instead type /resign, and you die and auto go to town which somehow avoids the constant rezoning/farming code issue.

Undead in Kryta. Sephis axes, dead bows, dyes, dust.

Just an FYI, theres a better chance of getting a gold fellblade from trolls then a max gold sephis/dead from undead.

THAT is VWK.

I'd still be farming those Oni if Ungues of the Oni was still worth anything...

Anyways, I tried Maatu Keep, it's not as good as Warden Farming. No Armor.

My own experience seems to have proven as such. I have farmed many places such as Pongmei Valley for HOURS on end using this method and have not see the Farming Code trigger, not ONCE! Strange, but true.

There IS another tried and true method that seems to be fact. After you have farmed a spot to the point of triggering the antifarm code, go do a mission, any mission completely through. Then come back to that same farm spot and it should be "reset"...

Hope these methods work for you! Cheers!

/Resign doesnt work I lag whenever i open the map so i always type /resign and after about 6-7 shiroken runs i got the message that i have been killing too many of the same type of monsters and my drops are reduced.

Well, sorry you guys dont seem to be having luck with teh /resign method.

I honestly still have not triggered the antifarm code using this method, and i don't see the drop patterns diminishing. Drop patterns remain COMPLETELY random until you officially see the "You have farmed too many of the same type monsters blah blah blah..." antifarm code thing.

Make sure when you use /resign, you are not at risk of dying. Also, you cannot simply map into a zone after already triggering the antifarm code and then typing /resign... that does nothing. If you have already triggered the code go do a mission, then come back. You type /resign AFTER you have completely a full run... starting on fresh runs, mind you.

Tips. Cheers.
