I can clear the undead army of Gates of Kryta (including 2nd group) in 2 minutes (got screenshot) using:

Banishing Strike (use this on Bone Minions for 160 (times 1-3) AoE dmg
Eternal Aura
Mystic Vigor
Faithful Intervention
Mystic Regeneration
Running this farm is very funny, its like stearing a horde of elephants into a porcelyne shop. SMASH SMASH BURN!
The trick is using Banishing Strike properly on Bone Minions to trigger the AoE dmg.
Ok, this isnt a HM farm build, but it is darn quick for getting the items. At least 3 per run. Plus you get Orr Emblems which you can use during Christmas.
Anyone else find any nice farms that drop fast? Are the Stone Elementals in Old Ascalon doable for Moebius Blossom sin? Anyone have a link for that?

A question:
Would we be more likely to get good drops if we did this in NM or HM? Or does it not matter?

i have been farming fro 5 hours in the raptors area and in nm they dont drop as much , in nm i get about 4 of them total not each in 34 kills and in hm i get about 8 total, if no gold weapon drops if a gold weapon drops i get abbout4 total in hm in nm i dont get but 1 other drop something not eventhe items

It is hard to make real judgements about it, since sometimes you get 0 drops from 50 foes and sometimes you get more then 10.
You prob would need to farm at least 100 times exactly the same manner to make any statistical analysis.
My guess is that it wouldnt matter, since high and low lvl creatures should all drop the same amount of treats.

I've been doing Frontis' lair in NM for these items. I get 2+ ale per run and 2 or more pumpkin pies. The ale from the chest is a bonus too, and... IT'S FUN!

i have noticed less golds dropping and more dyes and lockpicks though then norn i have famred this for the last months
ensoriki
Thats waht that was?
Im getting tons farming a Show of Force with my A/E
I kill about 90 of them a run and get about 10-20 of that crap >.>
Also for the question
I've seen better drops in HM of them.
However Doing NM farms/going through pve will probably let you kill the monsters faster
>.> So it doesn't matter if you Nm/Hm but the speed you do it.

...except for the fact the new Pumpkin Pie doesn't affect recharge, just attack speed and skill activation time. 
And I don't agree that this type of event encourages going out and exploring the game, it's exactly opposite - it strongly encourages solo farming abuse of masses of easy to kill mobs, as the bonus drops aren't affected by loot scaling.

We need a double quest reward weekend.
And make it so Repeatable (the FFF) don't count.
Then you'll see people coming out of that weekend with grand cartographer and the like!
Also >.> Would be better if it affected recharge >.> I've got deadly paradox for activation =P

I kind of want another dragon festival for the lucky points but at the same time they're borring as hell. I guess this mostly for those drunks with no teeth.
should be alright

So this explains the 'Hard Apple Cider' that dropped earlier. 
Croco Clouds
Here's a typical drop in raptor HM for the event :

Treats? Gah. No idea where I'd put them.

Pumpkin pie!!!
Pumpkin pie!!!
therangereminem
lol at the fire ele why do you even use that build to farm there, i see it works but do you ever kill the boss, i knew poeple we farming that spot more and more i have beendoing it sence the 3rd day of gwen, but earth ele is so much better or at least use the skill that makes everything recharge , then maybe fire would be good

I didn't know it counted toward sweet tooth though, and it's good to know I can sell them on. Thanks.

Hasn't anybody noticed yet that the effect for pie is "pie induced ecstasy" - a reference to the guild of the same name?

LAME weekend... St. PAtricks day, unnannounced got drops+a normal event (double HA or something). Easter, same thing. A weekend with no events/games that happens to "drop useless crap" is retarded.

Pie should be good on monks and other casters. But the booze is just for a title or boosting some of the GWEN skills.
