good farming ratio
weretoad
i make about 300-700 gold on my runs that take 3-5 minutes and about 2k in half an hour. is that a good ratio? it feels like more to me then droknar trolls, which is a mere 100 gold per run and 5-7 minute runs.
Pyro maniac
most farming places earn around 15k per hour
some even exceed that, CoF runs is about 20-25, DoA runs were 30k per hour. could be less now

For Me as an Elementalist 100K/day makes me happy

wow i should really get hard mode for proficies and then beat ascension so i can farm
GaaaaaH
raptor farming can do 3+ golds per run (selling at 750g unidentified) or selling the mods and all the random merch stuff.
edit: an yes, hard mode will dramatically increase the amount of gold you get.

small obvious tip :
if you aim for golds (to sell unids 7=5K) then farming vaettirs on HM is a better choice - they drop very often, up to 4 (well 5 but that happens rarely) per run which takes about 5minutes on average, easy re-zone and way more different item skins than raptor farming
but you do need an Ele for that

but you do need an Ele for that well farming raptors is much faster and can give you 3 golds per run... and yes you can get less but farming vettari u also can get less than 4/5

true raptors are faster but from my exp. <and I farmed both till I was rank 8 on each> when farming vaettirs you get 2-4 golds often and empty runs happen rarely when compared to farming raptors
so I dont mind adding a bit of time for more consistent gold drops on a long run
and for me farming vaettirs is less boring (maybe its the calming efect of the snowy scenery) when I have to go back to the raptor cave for some reason like event farming I feel like I wanna throw up
ps. sorry for drifting from the thread topic

well you guy seem knowledge about farm. i have a monk with 55 armor and build that farms blessed griffins outside of camp rankor. i get like 15 on me per run, that's about as good as droknar trolls, so why there more popular? i have found droknar trolls to be complete crap farm runs. when i compare my farming spot to others i never so the same good results, but people make 40k+ a day doing the popular runs what is my problem
legacyofkain85
old doa days when titan gems were 100k+,could make 500k+ per day,hehe gw wont see something like this again
Mr. Undisclosed
55 is pretty crappy now tbh, get an ele or a rit.
weretoad
i'm not having problems with my build, it's just i don't seem to see how people get huge amounts of $$$ when i do the same thing i get very little, say droknar trolls, one of the most popular farm spots in history gives a very tiny amount of money, but people still say they get load of money each day from farm them and other super popular places
It's A Me
thats because it was nerfed, same for griffons and many other places.
okashii
weretoad which Guild Wars campaigns do you have? Prophecies is not very good for farming imo
Mr. Undisclosed
I'm not at all saying you're having problems with the build, I'm saying the build itself sucks as a farming build. If people are telling you they're making a lot of money with 55 (outside 55/smite) then they are playing a mean joke on you.

The point that may be confusing you is the fact that droks trolls is not a popular farming spot (maybe for leveling), it has not been for a long time.

Well, Fahranur takes about 20-25mins a run, i kill 3 bosses on that and get 700-1k sunspear points per run (never counted the actual ammount, but around that), average income is 3-4k a run + possiple perfect mods to sell and elite & normal tomes (warrior, ele, necro, dervish and mesmer). I can run almost 3 full runs in a hour so i would say i make ~10k a hour from there, lucky run and it's alot more.
edit: Also alot of normal runes drop on each run (3-5), mainly survivor and radiants ones. In long run those add kinda alot to the income from there. /edit
Then again, i don't "farm" there because good money, but because it's place to farm money with half decent rate and sunspear points at the same time.
And well, i don't 55 it, i 105hp it. But i could do it 55 if i wanted.

FYI I play as my Ele 99% of the time so no its not Naphui :P

wow this confuses me even more, 55 makes you invisable against everything but degen, and enchantment removable, and even then you can get around the degen part by adding regen as counter. and what do you mean proficies is a bad farming place, i have nf i haven't found more then 2 good farming places. i guess i most really need help becoming better at farming.
okashii
what professions do you have? and how far are they in Nightfall?
XDeadboltX
In UW I get anywhere between 23.5-74k an hour depending on how many ectos drop. Usually 3-9 , but on average 5 or 6. Runs take me about 40 mins but people probably do them faster because I use Sliver armor. Thats all I farm these days.
(Since its 40 mins per run I multiplied by 3 then halved to get an hour) MoreArrows
Is that the 4-Part Ele UW build??
XDeadboltX
Yeah, although recently the ectos average is more around 2-6 ectos, looks like a lot of ppl are farming there now. I only do chaos planes though, dont bother with smites or those other 2 areas

55ing lacks good damage potential, which makes it slower than other forms of farming, and there are degen areas, enchant strippers, and a few skills that avoid PS. The ideal goal of farming is to kill whatever as fast as possible, which is something a 55 cannot do as well as some other classes.
And proph is bad for farming because you can't get all the elite tome types there nor do the weapons have inscription slots... So unless a 15>50 gold drops on you with a good skin and low req, it's not going to sell.

Abedeus
What? All of them lack damage potential.
SS is vulnerable to interrupts, after that a long recharge. IW is 1 to 3 monsters. SoJ knockdowns, so dmg is lowered. Scythe dervs - same as IW, lower dmg in HM.
weretoad
well i have a mesmer which has beaten nf and almost profcies and my monk isn't very far, just get's runs to good farming locations. so far all i see in nf is the cyclone palace on hard mode, and the insect groups in istan on hm, and i haven't even test the cyclone palace. so could some one give me a list of farming locations and what builds/professions are needed to farm or at least send me a link to a farming guide.
Fire The Nutter
Well the sticky on this forum is a good start
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10196128 *However* you are having the same problem I had until relatively recently. Everything I could dig up related to OLD builds I now trawl through the posts on here, hoping that recent posts are in fact new posts and not resurrecting old posts which are in fact long dead and buried. I've lost track of however many times ive bought everything for a build, only to find its long ago been nerfed. Weretoad: From your posts I think you have Prophecies and NF, NF is the best bet. My advice #1 Get an ele and level him up, play through NF #2 Look up PVXWiki and then find the E/A Boss farmer build, thats easy enough to learn and get used to and having played through NF youll have a few spots you can farm for Elite Tomes and Greens #3 Think about getting Factions and EoTN, Ele's farm a lot of things in EoTN and with Factions you can make a 330HP Rit, those are a good easy farm but again you need to get to the right places to farm, check RezzDogg's fantastic post. Not that Factions is sololy that though, lots of other spots that ive read about. #4 Generally do more research and check these forums daily for good tips, nothing like playing through a campaign with a char to get money too ;o)
weretoad
thanks alot that was useful, i'll checkout pvx. and about that last post it's was a funny day after i beat nf i notice i had 15k and got a black die the next day so 21k
