What is the best farming spot in your opinion?
Ironig
Hey everybody, this is probably a hard question to answer but i would like you to give it a try. What farming builds/ spots do you farm with to make your cash? So far Ive tried the E/A tombs farmer with little luck, and the E/A green farmer to success. In general though, I use a NM Mist Form troll farmer. Are any of these anywhere near the most successful? (I know that I only listed E/Any builds, but you guys name whatever works the best for you)
Targuil
HM Core farming. It has been best so far.
Trueslash Noobfoot
Generally I would use just any build I think sounds good. TBH I just rape the hell out of the kurzick FFF. For heavy farming? Maybe 600/smite in UW or FOW. Otherwise, I dunno. maybe E/A for green farming.

In terms of simply pure cash gain, it's been the old school FoW team run. It's easy and all the quests are repeatable. But if you're talking about solo, then i'd suggest going hard mode and farming mino's outside of ice tooth or similar places. There are tons of "the best" spots out there. You just have to find what works best for you and meets your needs. Good luck with the hunt.
Ironig
Thanks guys, these were the kind of answers I was looking for! If anyone else has some favorite spots of their own, I'd still love to hear them.

Bergen has always been nice to me.
Ironig
can you elaborate on bergen, what build, what monsters?
The Far Shooter
Bergen?! I sincerely regret going to that spot, a waste of time after its drops were nerfed. The basic quantity of drops has gone down in that area.
Best farming spot.... hmmmm.... Just do some random unpopular one with a 55 mo/n with SS and IP. Like Kinya Province in HM. A sin boss there you can take down with ease for an elite sin tome. Clear out all the mantids (take out monks first). Kappas with some time and then nagas. There are two lesser onis there too for Oni Blades etc. Thus a nice mix on tomes which include: monk, ele, sin, rit and necro.
I like this as no one would actually recommend this place as it isn't fast but I enjoy it anyhoo. Main reason ppl dont like it is that mantids are casters meaning u gotta group them.
THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH SHIELD OF JUDGEMENT. YOU CAN NOT KILL CRIMSON SKULL AND THUS CAN'T VANQUISH THE AREA SOLO.

@ far shooter
SV + necrosis is way faster in my experience, and you get better on drops imo
just watch the crimson skull rits that have wanderlust that can really screw you over

I assume you mean Destroyer Cores?
How would you farm those? I don't think Destroyers are solo-able... knockdowns, interrupts, enchant remover, massive damage..... and they don't have large enough mobs for Splinter Barrage.
Maybe Shadowform/Sliver ARmor with Shadow of Haste? That would take way too long tho...

I think he means core as in UW and FoW.
Terra Tank = smite farming in UW from what I remember

. You use [skill]Glyph of Swiftness[/skill] with [skill]Obsidian Flesh[/skill] at 16 Earth Magic so it can be kept on you for as long as you need. Like that, the Enchantment removal problem's solved. For preventing damage, you use [skill]Stone Striker[/skill], which is also your Energy Management skill, [skill]Stoneflesh Aura[/skill], and [skill]Mantra of Earth[/skill]...
For damage, there's quite a few options... You can use [skill]Sliver Armor[/skill] along with other damage dealing spells, or you can use it with other PvE only skills.

Ether Nightmare+ Wandering eye--->[skill]Sliver Armor[/skill] Imo. Much faster and drops aren't any worse.

Normally, i try to find two monks (1 healer one bonder or 2 healers)
3-4 Nukers of varying kinds (be it SF, Renewal, SH)
1 Tank (whatever works for the tank, obsidian flesh, stances, mesmer resist stances)
1 Necro (SS and Blood rit are a must on his skill bar)
If you use only 3 eles, grab a ranger with splinter/barrage or insight/barrage

I recomend going to all the old hot spots that have dwindled due to GW:EN
Nolonai acadamey Hard mode just open the gate kill and resign and continue Elite tomes and lots of dye and golds
Corsairs in hard mode outside of the astrallum for Gold Colossal scimitars
Ele sword farming in the Desolation
55/ss/sv dual UW runs make a good friend like most of us UW runners who loves to farm that area as much as you LOL
trappers in the UW are always fun
most profitable Destroyer core farming

What i'd like to know is....
Do you farm destroyer cores in HM or NM. Because i farmed them a lot in NM, but i don't know if they drop more in HM.
Tried HM a few times with a Monk (bonder) because i would die i think. Drops were worse.

Tried HM a few times with a Monk (bonder) because i would die i think. Drops were worse. If you're doing the farm only for the Destroyer Cores you should do it in Normal Mode because the chances of Collectable Drops do not increase even in Hard Mode. If you want golds and the Cores however, I'd suggest Hard Mode.
Do Destroyers drop any special weapon skin?

No, I don't think so. Because the only skin related to the destroyers are offcourse the destroyer weapons so...

The funnest farm run i did was a 3 man (600hp , smiter, and SS) full UW clear run. Too bad we only had time for planes+labyrinth.
gw_poster
I said this before on another forum, but by far my best experience solo farming has been the corsairs (HM) in zehlon reach (outside astralarium in istan - NF)...this is no lie, but 1 in 10-15 runs have yielded me a colossal scimitar - I've gotten 6 so far...all my warrior hero's (on two char's) have one and I've made one my own for 55'ing (+20%ench, +5e). No r9's yet, but 2 r10's, 1 r11, 2 r12's and 1 r13...The runs are short, but you can make them longer by taking on the skales and bugs past the 1st group of corsairs, sometimes there's a chest there, too. In addition to these, there have been scores of gold axes, other types of scmiitars, staffs, off-hands, tomes, dyes (including a black dye), etc. Lots of merch food, too to keep the money rolling in and your stacks of wood, iron, cloth, etc. full. All of the other 'classic' solo runs that I've tried have not come close to the number and quality of drops from this run - god I hope anet doesn't nerf something here! I'm gonna try some of these other spots, too...hopefully they will be just as good.

I second the ZR area. I too have hit the collossal about 4 times now. Just make sure you rotate the farms or change to intenrational districts every once in a while. Even though there is supposed to be no anti farm code i have seen a considerable drop when farming that area over a long period of time.
Another area is or farm that has done me well is the W/N Byzzr farm in Lutgardis. Monk elite tomes, gothic golds, byzzrs green etc and its a cake walk of a farm.

but yeh, theres serious antifarming there. 10 runs can put drop rate to 0 golds(as compared to 4 in a run, inclusing 3 in a row once)

Zehlon hates me...it's true. I've done the run, I'm guessing, around 100 times and not one colossal. I started soon after HM came out too. I've always done about 4-5 runs and then off somewhere else. Oh well, I'll keep trying.
I like Bergen since I get numerous golds for my wisdom title, as well as tomes, dyes, tons of dust and bone, and of course orr emblems.

i like to farm in the naga cave in hard mode, can be done with a 330 hp ritualist, sandstorm earth tank(shown below) or any 55 build.
Sir Pandra Pierva
I have had the most luck with bergen even with all the nerfs. Also kirin farming has been good to me.
