Gold egg farming (different)

I would just add this to the event items, but golden eggs give you +1 to treasure hunter titles when you pick them up. So, because of that everyone is going to be wanting to farm them on their main. Which the easiest build I would assume to get gold egg drops would be making your main a 600 hp tank and using a smiter hero.

So my question is, where is the most enemies that can be easily and quickly 600/smited for gold egg drops? Raptor nestlings have a lot of interrupts, so that is probably a no go.

Maybe the gates of kryta mission/ undead could be good for golden eggs?

Raptor's can be 55'ed, i remember seeing a build with mantra of resolve and channeling. Other than that kill those undead!!

i havent tried with a 55 but the snowman lair is pretty good in terms of kills-time.

600/Smite HM Raptor cave.

i do it on my necro periodically, bring Mindbender and Air of Superiority, then repeat for win.

personally, i'm sticking with my main event-dropper - Zelnehlun.

Obsidian Flesh and Sliver Armor for the glacial stones works great. You get the stones ANY when ever the special weekend drop du jor is. got 105 stones, 73 clovers and 115 ales this past weekend without playing too hard. Not too mention gold items and merch food.

If your main is an E,A or W go with raptors, otherwise I'd stick with NM Grawl outside surmia and get your halloween ghost in a box farming done at the same time.

You can farm the raptors in NORMAL mode with basically any primary, so long as your innovative and make good use of your secondary. I worked out and tested a d/w build for my derv primary this past weekend that can quickly and easily kill all the raptors in the cave except the boss, but can easily survive the boss long enough to pick up all the drops, and I'm not even that great at making builds, so it shouldn't be that hard.

my main is Warrior, so I farm these just like I farmed clovers/ales.....vwk raptor lovin. I better unload the r9 ele sword I got last weekend.

edit: for comparison I tried gates of kryta undead killing, and it's definitely less event items / hr. The orr emblems is a bonus but the lack of nice golds and mod farming is a much larger negative.

Ranger farming NM raptor cave is easy, but whenever I do it i only get 1-4 drops . Grawl farming yields better results for me, for some reason.

I would personally go with Raptors since my main is an Elementalist, this is my list for best places:

-Raptors (600/smite, E/A and W/Rt in HM and Ranger, Monk/me or Me/mo in NM)

-Vermin (I personally use E/D Fleeting stability here) they are quite good for event items in Cantha)

-GotK (Everything, did it with all proffesion exept for Mesmer myself NM)

I don't think there is one posted but I picture it being R/Rt with vwk. Probably only viable in nm but mode doesn't really matter.

SQ coupled with Dwarven Stability... And then some weapon spell, maybe weapon of warding.. I dunno xD Dont think its worth it, Elementalist would be much faster.
