you'd have to have damage reduction because even a 55 can only take so much damage even at 10 regen. And you'd have to be A/Mo. where's your damage now? the Degen/epidemic build which epidemic is gone due to 55?

That is why I said it would have to be a quick killer. I believe Signet of Judgement and IW both get through SF. But if you had a ward of stability to avoid getting knocked down you could get off your spell chain just as they all swarmed on you having cast IW and SoJ. Hopefully they would arrive just in time to catch the first meteor on the head. My only worry is if you would survive multiple HM SoJs.

IDK maybe I am barking up the wrong tree, maybe ReZ is just winding us up. I hate mysteries.

Damn you ReZ

Could be somewhere else. I'd bet it is actually. The guy earlier made it sound as if pullin required skill. This pulling requires none.

Just before I go to bed here is a thought. Pop an essence of celerity and I reckon the perma shadow form is very possible.

And I agree it was dashed unsporting of ReZ.

Damn you ReZ

Hey, i was looking at rez's screens and i came up with some ideas for myself :P

I kinda think that he could be using a necro, because in one of the pics his armor looks like necro armor. And i also think he could be farming in Drakkar lake, because in one pic he dropped a platinum broadsword, and according to guild wiki, they only drop there.

Just guessing though :P Btw sry if any of that info i posted has been said already, im reall really tired :S

Hi all,

I'm actually very poor in farming. I farm the Hulking Stone Elementals HM in Old Ascalon. Only I do it with a Axe W/Mo (Can't remember who came up with this, but thanks! )....which is probably a LOT slower than other builds.....but at least I don't die . Quru already posted this spot and his estimates seems about right....though I never got lucky with Rubies and stuff. And of course it takes me longer.

Another easy spot I think is Gates of Kryta HM. I use and E/D there. Thanks goes to SalamandraTheNinja on youtube for that one. It's quite easy, cause even I can do it . Can't really say how much money can be made though. I'm not a regular farmer and I haven't been farming until recently. Till now I only do it to be able to buy things I need. But I'd like to improve in my farming (if that's possible ). Anyway, I've gotten some nice ideas from this thread (Thanks for that!), but honestly I am kinda annoyed that most part of this thread is about some mysterious farm build/place, which in my opinion shouldn't have been posted in the first place. If you're not gonna tell, then refrain from posting and shut up. Cause this is extremely lame. That said; I hope ppl will keep sending in actual builds and places.

In short; If you are an idiot in farming like me and want it easy:

*Hulking Stone Elementals HM in Old Ascalon - W/Mo
*Gates Of Kryta HM - E/D

Ciao

Not to mention, 55 monks haven't been nerfed yet, and if your creativity exceeds that, I'll stop trying to figure it out on forums ASAP.

No.

I mean if it's so "good" and "creative" that it'd get nerfed then I'm gonna have to say it BEATS 55's on the creativity list. Cause that hasn't been nerfed yet.

I am sure there are some farms people are keeping to themselves... which I should have just kept my mouth shut like I thought. But people were saying they were making 200-800k a day... which is a bunch of crap... so that tempted me to post. so to sum up your asking others to do for you what you wont do for them? lol

Most people would be estatic w/ a 30k an hour farm, and yet your boasting about some "farm" that you got 150-200k twice in an hr or 2; then you ask for others for builds to find something for you incase you've missed something cuz you miss out on all the good spots. your so full of shit.

No, he wants other people to make their own farm spots and quit the wild goose chase he's started (which he claims to be a mistake)

So go find your own farm. Post it if you want or not. He deleted his post for a reason.

This is what I belive the build rezzdog used to farm with. Give it a bash..

I think it's time for the mods to close this thread.

It's gone way off topic and it has been abused by people who seem to have forgotten that the whole purpose of this farming forum is to share knowledge, not to obscure it, and neither to brag nor tease nor pull others' legs or tell them how far "off" they are.

The purpose of the thread was to share farming spots and builds and then Rezzdog pops up who has found a miracle build that nets 150-200k per hour in an area that no one else has thought of farming and that only he and 1 other person has found the perfect build for, despite the million+ ppl actually playing the game and the amount of ppl that regularly farm.

TBH I doubt the whole thing very much,I mean it isnt exactly hard to go farming for hours and hours then go out and drop a load of golds and take a screenie is it.

If it is true (which I doubt) then it is simply your attitude that stinks, as the only reason your posting anything was to say "this is what I get and I ain't sharing anything with anyone else" if that's the case why bother posting on an information thread?

For those that have bothered to use the thread properly /claps

I think every farming place mentioned is a reasonably well known one, the vaettir farm is dull but reasonably profitable, the destroyer core farm is the same again, moddock crevice farm can be reasonable too, farming ToT bags in nebo terrace was a good one for the last week though was netting around 30-50k per hour including selling emblem stacks

I'll make it a point of listing everything that I've ever tried on my ranger, with detailed notes. Unlike some people, I think that knowledge is empowering. This is hardly everything, but I'm a bit tired right now, so I'll post the rest tomorrow.

Profession: R/Rt (Splinter Barrage / Edge of Extinction Bomb)
Description: Farming Margonites
Location: Turai's Procession
Requirements: Battle of Turai's Procession, Hard Mode.
Advised: Lightbringer (R4+)
Excellent: Chests, Rares, Runes, Special Event Items
Good: Dyes, Tomes (Monk, Warrior, Mesmer, Dervish)
Tolerable: Exotic Skins, Collectables (Margonite Masks)
Abysmal: Lockpicks, Materials
Notes: A very balanced, simple and profitable farm.

Profession: R/Me (Echo Trapping)
Description: Farming Stygian Creatures
Location: Stygian Veil
Requirements: Breaching the Stygian Veil, Hard Mode, Lightbringer (4+)
Excellent: Collectables (Stygian Gems), Rares
Good: Exotic Skins
Tolerable: Special Event Items, Tomes (Necromancer, Warrior)
Abysmal: Chests, Dyes, Lockpicks, Materials, Runes
Notes: Requires a great deal of practice on Hard Mode.

Profession: R/Rt (Splinter Barrage / Edge of Extinction Bomb)
Description: Farming Slave Spirits
Location: Shattered Ravines
Requirements: Destroy the Ungrateful Slaves, Hard Mode
Good: Exotic Skins, Rares
Tolerable: Materials (Bone), Special Event Items
Abysmal: Chests, Collectables, Dyes, Lockpicks, Runes, Tomes
Notes: Not overly profitable. Nerfed. Maybe worth a shot anyways.

Profession: R/E (Terratank)
Description: Farming Stone Elementals
Location: Old Ascalon
Requirements: Hard Mode
Excellent: Materials (Granite Slabs, Rubies, Sapphires)
Good: Chests, Dyes, Lockpicks, Rares, Passage Scrolls
Tolerable: Collectables (Scorched Lodestones), Special Event Items, Tomes
Abysmal: Exotic Skins, Runes
Notes: A surprisingly simple run with good returns.

Profession: R/Me (Famine)
Description: Farming Bosses
Location: Arborstone
Requirements: Hard Mode
Excellent: Kurzick Faction
Good: Experience Scrolls, Materials (Granite Slabs), Uniques
Tolerable: Collectables, Rares
Abysmal: Chests, Dyes, Exotic Skins, Lockpicks, Special Event Items, Runes, Tomes
Notes: If you're trying to farm Kurzick faction and perhaps earn some cash, it might be worth trying. However, they have an abysmal drop rate for valuable items (e.g. elite tomes).

Money Made.
Hourly: Dunno exactly, sometimes up to 3-4 golds in a run, but only bother selling r9's or colossals - the rest are for guild giveaways
Daily: Can easily stack wood, bolts of cloth, tanned hides, iron and bones in one day - always sell purples, runes (attunement, radiant sometimes keep), and salvage whites (or good mods)
Monthly: Been doing less than a month and already gotten 9 colossal drops (do probably an average of 7-10 runs/day...about 5-10min per run depending how far you want to go)..ever since I started I never have less than 50-75k in may mitts at all times...this makes practicing new builds in uw/fow a lot less painful

I've been playing this game (all chapters) for almost a year now, and I have yet to find more lucrative areas that are as consistent as these *(as solo)....I can't figure out how everyone is making a million a month!! Are these projected figures based upon a good hourly rate, or are u all actually spending the time to sale this stuff in the open market (Kamadan, LA, etc.)?? People don't typically buy crap golds, unless in bulk for cheap (or un'id'ed), so u all must be getting a metric butt-load of excellent drops! Anyway, I'm not hating, more power to you...guess I'm a little jealous I'll have to try some of those spots. would you mind telling me the other locales of the corsairs?

And I deleted it so no one else would keep talking about it!! or tryin to figure out some kind of mystery I have created... I could be just pulling your legs, or maybe not.

But on to the thread topic, I would like to know other peoples farming areas. Would you go through all that trouble?

if we think about his farmplace we should know there isnt such a great place to farm for everyone to make 200k,if you look at that bunch of dropps on the first screen and he tells you thats all from one or two hours, its low. compare it with margonites farm in turgais procession 72 margonites in hardmode in 6 minutes ( thats my speed) that makes 10 runs in one hour and if im lucky i get up to 8 golden dropps a run, so?? its 80 golds a hour, just if you are lucky. on his screens you see a lot of swords, which means he farms a lot warrior, since only warriors dropps warrior weapons right? now guess which warriors are common in gwen, what about the minos? there are a lot of them in the farshiverpeaks, if you are lucky there with farming them and get a lot swords with +30 or 20/20 then you may get 200k in 1-2 hours, get a build for doing them and i bet you got his farmplace

jaeharys - right outside beknur harbor (HM) take the scale bounty and follow the beach path to the mining area which is below all of the harpy nests. Along the way, there are various smaller groups of corsairs and when u first start on the path there are some groups of scales and on the land-side, a larger mob of insects (typically stalking nephilia, bladed termites, and preying lances - if there is a grub lance I don't bother as SoJ cannot usually out-damage their healing prowess)...As you continue further along the coast there are groups of 2-3 corsair raiders and occasionally a boss spawn (ranger boss - can't remember the name) and ultimately, some large mobs of corsairs roaming around the mines. Drops have been good for me along that route.

There are many areas in Istan that have corsairs - unfortunately, I don't know atm what the cardinal directions are - but if you continue in zehlon to the right when you zone in from the Astralarium, go past all of the scales and there are groups of corsairs past the bounty npc - near the ships.

Another place which is a bit harder in HM because the levels are 25 instead of 23 elsewhere on Istan, is Mehtani Keys. When you zone in run straight ahead, try to stay in the water so you don't spawn the mandragors (possible ench strippers), and continue past the large scale mobs - with timing it right you can run all the way to the corsair bounty without aggroing a mob. Once there, there is a huge mob of corsairs - just be careful, the wizards can strip enchantments. Typically, the large mob splits in two and you can pull the first to behind the large rock. Depending on the spawn you can finish them all off and there is even a treasure chest there if you haven't already gotten it.

As a sidenote, the cutthroats and thugs (both warriors) aren't the only ones to drop the colossals..a raider dropped one for me just recently. I've attached a pic of the drops from the best short run I've had yet in the first area of Zehlon outside the Astralarium.

Just thought I would add, If it is the bunny cave and it is full of vaettir then the Melandrus resilience build for a ranger would clear it with no problems (same build used for farming vaettirs for glacial stones)

But even soo there is no way you would get anywhere near 100k an hour unless you happened to get a lot of +30s for swords as the drops are mostly dross out there

The drops are even worse in the Kveldulf cave in Norrhart domain, although the chest has spawned sme decent stuff there
