So with the weekend giving free ales and clovers where are some areas that you all are going to go farm them from? I am assuming raptor farm will most likely be a regular one, but just curious as to any other places.

If event items drop in the Raptor nest at the same rate they did when the sparklers dropped, why would you farm anywhere else?

Maybe Grawl or Gargoyles in Proph. Mantids in Factions. Skale in Nightfall. Snowmen in EoTN.

Well, since I haven't actually done raptor farming ever since they changed the movement speed nerf and stuff. Which means I actually need to research more on the new build and whatever it uses so I can actually do raptor farming again.

I cant remember from last time how it was worded but this time it says they will be dropping in all TYRIAN areas,does that mean they will only drop in prophicies,or eotn and prophices or everywhere?

May have said the same thing last year I just cant remember.

N/A Zelnehlun farm for me. in HM, i can actually pull off come decent drops - an elite R tome here, a gold there. the amount of enemies you can kill that fast is unmatched by any other farm for a necro primary imo. it gets boring after a short while, so eventually i'll revert to regular farming (back to 600SS/SmiteSB'ing UW and FoW) or noob farming (Icy Veins ftw.)

I'll probably be doing my 600/smite runs in CoF; all the advantages of killing tons of people, and all the highlevel drops of a HM dungeon.

Raptor farm still works, even with the speed debuff. I replaced fire attunement for inferno, just in case flame djinns hadn't recharged yet. but the run is still very doable.

Fahranur the first city HM has worked fairly well for other events. I might just continue to run CoF and see how well that works though.

During the previous St. Patrick's and Easter events, my Ranger did Nolani Academy. I put traps by the door, then pulled the lever and let the Charr rush in - fair amount of goodies.

I could try that even after EW nerf. It doesn't take a lot of damage to kill Proph Charrs xD

I was also thinking a QZ + VwK R/Rt could do some decent stuff in places. i just dunno where there are masses of foes which are easy to kill with that build. What places are there masses of low level guys in Tyria willing to die? Like these grawls/gargoyle you speak of?

Id go with cores or raptors

both are pretty fast with huge amounts of enemies. plus side of cores is that u can get cores. plus side of raptors, very quick kill.

Halycon Farm gets me not only Cantha rare golds but also Event items. I would say Dragon Mosses but those have been nerfed dearly they were good Event Item suppliers until Anet nerfed there drops.

Will continue farming my normal rotation and CoF is in there too. Should be plenty of drops.

Ok, a ranger can just VwK + QZ the first mob of Charrs in Nolani Academy extremely quickly in NM which is a decent way to harvest your event items.

Raptors, without doubt.
Up to 35 kills per 1.30 min run ~ 40 runs/hour ~ 470 runs/12 hour (with merch included)
Lets say you get 10 event items per run (just to make the countings easier). You would get 400 items in one hour, and 4700 in a day (for no-lifers, such as me lmao), plus additional golds/tomes.

During Canthan NY the token drop rate was terrible in both the boxing survivor farm and the raptor cave, not sure if it will be the same for this event.

just did my first run outside lions arch with a mm. took 10 minutes and yielded 1 minor vigor,1 radiant insig, 3 ales, 3 clovers,1 silver dye,74 feathers and 2 gold low lvl weapons i'll id for title track..NM...gl hf
added- this run doesnt activate anti farm code, i think because of kill speed rate
