Yea, raptor runs in hard mode are very quick and the drops are pretty good. Takes me under 30 minutes to fill up my inventory with golds usually.

The raptors only drop a few types of gold items, and they don't drop too often in HM.
I suggest vaettirs, more variety.

I suggest vaettirs, more variety. 5 months of Raptor farming and I am at 1300 Gold identify, when I started the run with my sin I only had 59, I don't farm raptors every day I did the math and I only farmed raptors for 5-6 weeks over the 5 months, just imagine if I did it every day.

edit:any tips?? Considering each run in HM (should) take 1-3min, that's a huge amount added up over time. I'm not sure why you'd be complaining. Just keep farming them over and over again. Very repetitive and mind numbing, but decent pay off if your drop rate is as good as you say it is.

Does anyone know the best farming spots in Factions?
Just using my rt (330hp or others) and have done vermin, luxon sins, minister chos estate, and a couple others (HM) but need to know the most profitable in your opinion out of anywhere in factions in hardmode or not.
thanks. (trying to save a thread being made and this could help others)

thanks. (trying to save a thread being made and this could help others) Depends what you're going for, atm I'm trying to get wisdom title up on my rit, so I do the Luxon sin's and ID all the Runes and Armours they drop me. For Items I tend to do Nahpui Quater (sp?) and stockpile tonnes of feathers and cele's. Rits can also do some form of Boss farming, by using ReZdogs technique and clearing the mobs with H/H and soloing the boss with Spirits, (waunderlust was elite IIRC)
Hope this helps in some way

Mr.Kotte
[raptors] think of it like this:
If you get 7 golds in 10 runs (10 minutes) thats 5k
If you get 70 golds in 100 runs (100 minutes) thats 50k
If you get 700 golds in 1000 runs (1000 minutes) thats 500k
If you get 7000 golds in 10000 runs (10000 minutes) thats 5000k
And so on...
Although, I suggest you farm raptors on event weekends as it tends to give you alot more $$$. (due to prices on event items)

The raptor nestlings take more than 1 min to farm though...
Keekles
The nestlings still don't take that long (though it is more than 1 min).

Not if your good...
Should take around 1 min, I think my fastest was 58 seconds. The only thing I really hate about Raptor farming is when you have to re-run the cave because Shadow Form ran out and there are still 6+ drops out of the 20 that you picked up. Air of Superiority should solve that, then runs should consistently clock in at 1:05 secs.

He is right.
One of my cycles (exit->run->kill->resign->exit) takes 57 seconds. Including picking up drops.

just wondering if you are talking about hard mode for both of those?what area do you do luxon sins? If its boreas seabed do you just run to them with the same build?

what area do you do luxon sins? If its boreas seabed do you just run to them with the same build? Yeh, both in HM. The Luxon Sins are from a quest much like this Just run straight there, alternativly, if you have more kurzick faction than luxon you can just run out, get killed by the outcast and you'll rez right where you start.

I've done hacylon job
 is there any other good factions HM/NM place? for necro 55hp BTW :P
okashii
Zting you need to be more specific, do you want to know places where you can farm something really rare or just a place where you can farm a lot of gold items
raptor cave is not a bad place but it has only a few types of gold items <boring skins and elemental swords are worthless now> but from my experience raptor cave is one of the most boring and dull places to farm if you are doing it over and over I suggest farming vaettirs, I know it takes longer per run, but there are many more types of gold items there, and they drop very often (4 gold per run is not uncommon at all) and its very consistent over time and its not as boring as the raptor cave (maybe thats just me, maybe I like the snow scenery more) Fay Vert

Assuming zero zone load time and an average of 10-15 seconds runing from your spawn in Rata Sum to the portal, it then takes 20 seconds to even reach the cave. It takes you 20-30 seconds to round all the raptors up and then you have to activate your skills and kill all the raptors and pick up drops. So what kind of a mega-build are you using that can do that last part in 7-15 seconds? I'm assuming Sliver (prior to the SF nerf) that just can't kill 34 in that time.
And my timings are based on a 33% speed buff and no zone load time.

All of this was written before the -50% dmg SF update. With sliver its an average 1.30.
/sigh
I have done more then 2000 raptor runs (probably closer to 3000), I know how long each run took.

I ran a SF ele with nuking spells, making the <1min easily achivable, you can even bring a EoE ranger with you to make it <55 seconds. You can BS me all you want, but I'm 150% sure I did my runs in LESS then 57 seconds, you ask anyone.

Then post a video and I'll gladly admit I'm wrong. Until then...

Why is it taking you 10-15 seconds to reach portal from inside Rata Sum?
1.Exit Rata
2.Turn round re-enter Rata
3.Exit Rata go and kill all the nestlings then type /resign
4.Appear right next to exit return to 3.

I have done both the E/Me and R/E, and would like to try the Rt/Me could someone shoot me a link to that build or just list the skills for it.

The raptors are the best way to farm quick golds and every once in a while u'll get an ele sword that'll sell for, what? 20-40K with perfect mods? Duno what the current price is on them 
.
On the speed of the farm: When people first were farming raptors, teh average run for a SF ele with the old nuking build was 30-60 secs. I was their and you could watch the rezoners pop in and out in about that much time. I my self did it for a long time (till the nerf to flame dijins haste >_<). Currently I'm using the sliver builds with stone flesh aura and such and that takes me about 1-2mins to do when all goes well.

q9 - 18k
q10 - 9k
q11 - 6k
q12/13 -5k
I've probably farmed about 30 or so.

He's wrong, and so are you. Why do people lie about farming times? Is it to make them look good? People don't necessarily lie, if you make a run and do /age at exactly 1 min 59 secs then it will tell you "You have been in this map for 1 min.". So yeah, I make a lot of raptor runs in 1 GW minute (which means I fall between 1 and 2 minutes).
