Grr... No loot

Two days ago begun massive farming project with my Warrior, but i got no loot in any run!

I am alone (doh) hunting those ettins with good build found in PvX wiki. After 6 runs, all I got was small bunch of money (500gp if I remember right) and masses of basic Ettin junk I didn't even collect as they can be sold for only 5gp.

Then I desperately tried to farm Hulking Stone Elementals in Hard mode Ascalon. There was more production: one max dmg. almost no upgrade longsword and a lockpick which I later wasted to get a crappy bow from Shiverpeaks while trying to get Sorrow Furnace.

Trolls were also slain but no production either.

Is this just bad luck ? Or have I pissed off the six gods?


EDIT: Oh, I got one rune from ettins, but it was minor mesmer rune

You need to pick up the "crappy" loot too. It all adds up to be sold for extra cash. Golds and rare items aren't really that common, although they do drop more in hard mode.

Just try a new area. Personally, I'd suggest you try W/Rt Underworld Smite Runs (check out pvxwiki.com). They made me the money I needed.

To get the most drops of money and gold items, you would have to farm in Hardmode. I'm pretty sure that ettin build won't work in HM.....Normal Mode you get next to nothing for drops. Except for farming Smites in Underworld for Ectos....thats the only place worth farming in NM. Like he said, W/Rt is a good safe build for farming ectos in UW. You can get around 4-7 ectos in around 4-5 runs if you caught a hot time for farming there. You do that every night, you can eventually end up with 100-500k from farming ectos alone.

Warriors aren't that great for farming in Hard Mode at all. It's best to get yourself a Monk or what I recommend a Ritualist, to farm just about anything in Hard Mode.

ettins and trolls dont really seem to be too good anymore due to the decrease in drop rates. best advice i can give is get your warrior ascended (if he isnt) and get over to temple of ages to start farming ectos in UW as rare materials have not been scaled down like other items have. Ive pretty much given up on other farms and stick to UW or FOW. i do still use my rit using my owns builds or some of rezzdoggs which work well and mean much quikcer farms so more chance of netting some decent drops. you could just be unlucky tho. i assume you are hunting ettins in HM?

urgh, you guys beat me to it.

This would take up quite a bit more time, but I do suggest making a Ritualist and trying out ReZDoGG's awesome builds... Just hope it won't get nerfed before you're able to do it, IF you're making a Rit =P

If you`re sticking with Warrior, you also might wanna give a shot at Chest Running. If you're hoping for the oh-so-rare Elemental Sword, it will take a long time to get unless you've got some pretty darn good luck.

you could easilly farm a place with lots of MELEE attacking foes in hm with basically any build for warrior, you could farm pongmei valley with a warrior using balthazars spirit, dolyak signet, lions (whatever, the heal thing o.O), live vicarously, vigorous spirit, tripplechop/gladiators defense, cyclone axe, whirlwind attack. just insert whatever attributes suit you really o.O

hmm yes i could try to farm in UW. I could never Imagine Rt can be useful though

Thanks all
