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? FYI I always did it in NM. You don't even need any echoing/spirits, just normally lay a fair amount of traps and let em in - just fire your bow to kill any survivors (like the boss).

Go to Rat Sum, exit into Riven Earth, stay to the right and you'll see tons o' raptors. (Just hope that the angorodon's are over to the left enough)

Have fun!

For statistics: 1 hour of average speed E/A Raptor farm (HM) got me:
54 clovers
54 ales

I will go try other places like snowmen, charr, undead, others, and post average 1 hour data for them aswell.

i changed my pick to the raptor farm. i've never tried a terra until now(i don't like eles much so i'm a total terra noob). the terra farm is extremely fast and im getting elite and non elite tomes,tons of ales and clovers, and gold weapons with nice mods. ive looked at a few of the terra builds for this and this is what ive put together as most effective for me. -> OgVEMHiJz4EBMBfVTBqQrGL4hA

Splinter barrage the eotn quest charr invaders would probably be a good source.

Snowmen. No idea what the drop rate there is though, I tried a bunch of places but once I got to raptor farming I couldn't see where could be better.

The 35 clovers/40 ale in around 2-3 hours farming trolls. Wish I could farm other places as well but I cant access them as I got a run to droks :P

How much will clovers/ale be at in one months time?

Well I tried 600rit/smite on the raptors. I'm not too used to the run so I die every so often. Get a ton of holiday items, like a surprising ammount. Usually like over 10. I find I get quite a few running CoF and its starting to piss me off because I do that for cash and drops, not lame holidays cons. I'll be happier when easter comes around.

How much will clovers/ale be at in one months time? I'd say ales @100/ea, similar to other alcohol. Clovers i have no clue, but at a guess, maybe 100-200g?

Yeah, the Rit 600 build is what I'm using and it can be frustrating since we can't block interrupts like Mo/Me's can. Best to do is use Mindbender and Air of Superiority in your 2 optional slots and to have your smiter cast Shield of Judgment on you before aggroing. Then, you can try to time your casts in between knockdowns and pray that air of superiority recharges your skills if you are interrupted.

You will still die every now and then, espec. if you over aggro. Just try your best and bear the interrupts.

My question on the raptor run is, why do those damn angorodons have to spawn so close sometimes!?

Also I've seen quite a few clover buyers in kamadan buying for 200g and one person bought all my ales for 120g ea

IMO, the optional ones are where SoA and VW are. I just change them out depending on the area and what I'll need.

For those thinking drops are slowing down on your farms, try...wait, you'll mock and flame me...oh well.

Dye your armor green.

Came up with this idea when I first saw Anet's event message: "blah, blah...think green."

Then noticed an abundance of green dye drops as I farmed.

Dyed my armor green and now never have more than two bad runs in a row. Other friends I've told have experienced similar results...hope you do too.

Likely I'm just imagining things...don't wanna think about the code that would alter drops based on a toon's armor color...but feel free to try it out and share your results (after significant runs).
