Gold egg farming (different)

so where is a "good" spot and easy to get to? depends on profession, for Ele there a 3 main ones in my opinion:

1. Raptor Cave outside Rata Sum HM
2. Glacial Stones farming HM
3. Glint's Challenge HM
<in that order :P >

for a Rt I would suggest to take a hero ranger and go farm Glint's Challenge on normal mode

anything for monks yet? +1

Last week i farmed rapors with an El because it was just ale ans clovers, but i now want to do it with my main : M

Now can any1 tell me how to farm these eggs with a mesmer ? :/ I'm planning to do HM Raptors with the Me/E Sliver build that was posted in another thread here. Do a search for raptors and you'll find it.

As for Monk, 55 GoK works well.

@Tasha : farmed here for clover and ale last week end, using a barrage like build. Got about 100 charr carving until my inventory was full of blue armor / purple items and had to rezone (took about 1H). It granted about 30-40 event item / H.

You should try your build outside LA : caromis drops some gold items, feathers ($$$), and 1 caromi scalp = 1 ghost in the box @Halloween.

Didn't try grawl, but i will for the easter because more than 2 hours of farming in the same place is boring.

To summary my ranger spots :
- flamme corridor
- caromis & fire imps outisde LA
- snowmen (chests + mass aggro), snowman's lair is ranger's lair (50-60 event items / hour)
=> next one is grawl :P I've used similar but different builds outside LA, orignally a Barrage build with Mending and Essence bond waaay back in my newbie Prophecies only days when I needed charcoal for some monk armor. I'm now using an Ursan build (OgETU1riXyo8WkmMAA1Q5I5QAAA) either alongside a monk hero (Just a normal Healer's Boon one) or with my boyfriend playing N/Rt healer with Ursan. Question comes as to whether its better to keep the scalps for Halloween or salvage them for feathers - I suspect with the current feather prices that salvaging would be better unless you're Party Animal headed .

As for the grawl... I did it A LOT on my ranger the first Wintersday, farming over 500 candy canes but as templates weren't around then I don't have a build saved. The last two years my ele has taken that farming spot due to the mass aoe and alike. I probably won't farm there this weekend because I get so frustrated with the slowdowns which make it harder to group everything up.

I finished up my Delver title last weekend farming ales so that won't be showing up on my list, but it is highly recommended if you're a title hunter as you can work on about 6 titles at once (Delver, Treasure Hunter, Wisdom Seeker, Drunkard, Sweet Tooth and Party Animal). Your event drops seem a lot higher than mine - guess we know who the lucky Easter bunny is

@ SkelnB: I don't think there is a drop rate difference between HM and NM. If its any evidence to this, I spent last weekend almost totally in HM and only recieved about 40 ales. Hate to know what the drop rate would be like on NM if there were a difference :/

Now can any1 tell me how to farm these eggs with a mesmer ? :/ Destroyer core farming

is there any solo monk builds for HM raptors yet posted? 55hp one Very few builds can farm the raptors in HM, all of them at least.

A 55 cannot farm the raptors in NM or HM as I know of. (someone will probably post one after this)

The reason for this is that Rekoff Broodmother uses Twisting Jaws, a skill that goes through every possible form of protection, including Shafowform, Spellbreaker, Protective Spirit and Spirit Bond, without triggering its healing. Twisting Jaws does 120 life stealing dmg, inflicts Deep Wound (up to 100dmg) and causes the target to bleed.

So thats up to 220dmg right there & 6 health degeneration.

Something that works for every profession: "Kilroy Stonekin's Punch-Out Extravaganza!". In HM, you get 2 ales, event items, at least 250 gold (reward; average was about 1k a run for me), 150 dwarf reputation, random tomes (mostly (elite) warrior tomes), runes & insignias and a LOT of xp (for consumables or survivor title). All this in under 12 minutes. It's not the best area, but it works for any profession and is safe for survivors.

Edit: By the way, you can delete your post, Tundra, if you didn't mean to post... Wow that's a great idea. I totally forgot you never really die in there. And theres tons of stone summit.

you can farm the nestlings with mantra and soj in hm, but it takes forever, nm is way faster and you change it a bit(like i did), and HM run is done in < 2mins
