I farm skulls and sentient roots with my ele. For skulls I like to use spells like liquid flame and fireball because it's pretty easy to ball the gargoyles up. Might wanna bring along something like healing breeze to cut down on the degen. But I go a little farther than most people when I farm skulls. I go well past that huge group at the top of the stairs. Run takes anywhere from 10-12 min and nets around 10-20 skulls per run. Make sure you bring a speed buff or 2. Here's the map: Jade are u doing the skull farming in hm ? And would u like to post me a build ?
I got an ele as well and i would like to try it out ^^

Nah, when farming for collector drops, there's no real point in doing hm. You want fast and easy. Here's the build I use for skulls, play around with it though. I know it can be faster. I was thinking of going with Air, but that's only because I like Storm Djinn's Haste as my speed boost.

So, what is the fastest way to farm raptors nowadays?
Back the days I used the following build:
Channeling
Magnetic Aura
Armor of Mist
Mantra of Resolve
Mist Form
Sliver Armor
Intensity
Air of Superiority
Just wondering if there are any faster ways to do it as an ele, because efficiency is the most important thing in farming to me.
Thanks in advance!

Wonder why nobody has posted this build yet:
Shadow form
Silver armor
Glyph of concentration
Air of Superiority
Radiation field
ebon battle standard of honor
dark escape
Deaths Charge
16 earth magic, 12 shadow arts, rest energy storage
Select HM, go to the raptor cave, use glyph, use dark escape, lure all the raptors, when glyph runs out, use Shadow form, use silver armor, deaths charge to the boss, use Air/Standard up and spam Radiation field. Spam your shadow form/silver armor on recharge. Make sure to attack at least once between every spell to keep the raptors from scattering. Collect your items and /resign
Everybody have a nice Halloween!

on the topic of profit from the Halloween farming does anyone remember (based on previous events) for how much did halloween items go for? [I mean ToT Bags, Absinthe, Witch's Brew, Squash Serum, Ghost-in-the-Box, Transmogrifier Tonic]

I only see 7 collector items and those exclude termite legs, caromi and some others from previous years. Any idea if they will come later or did they really eliminate those trophies from the Halloween event this year?
Coney
My understanding is that more come later - as I saw it, only 1 per town (that was this morning) - I got an update just now logging in, so I suspect something's changed somewhere...
FWIW - I'm running a touch ranger, modified:
OgQTQ4LjnpGyJ0ESCUjvR4ccAA
wilderness mainly for regen and speed to reduce downtime.
HM starting from Astralarium, going to Champs Dawn. Pretty much killing anything in my path. Going mainly for termite legs and drake flesh. Can take groups of 3-4 easily w/ build. Focusing on the 3 mobs of termites. Avg about 10-15 minute runs, ~4 TOT bags, ~4 termite legs, ~1 drake flesh, ~1-2k gold/vendor trash. Quite a nice grind, actually...
Raptors are far better though for TOT drops, but no useful trophies - lots of assn tomes tho.

I've been farming ToT bags by clearing Raptor cave in NM, minus boss. lol, I'm so self contradictory, i know

Rest in Deadly or SR, doesn't matter
Deadly Paradox
Shadow Form [E]
Radiation Field
Poisoned Heart
Suffering
Air of Superiority
Dwarven Stability
Dash
run to the cave with Dash, aggro everything sans speedboost, hit Form under Paradox, degen them out, collect drops (Sanctuary is there for T. Jaws) also any self heal can be fit in for Air of Sup if you kill quick and don't have AoS unlocked.

Good Thread, although I'm not used to farming so much anymore so it takes me extra long :P

I've been using the perma-sliver sin to farm tengu in hm outside of D'Alessio. It takes about 10-12 minutes, but you got tons of feathers, golds, salvage items, scalps, and ToT bags. I've made more money from the golds and feathers than the ToT bags. It takes some patience to gather a large group, since the groups are comprised of ranged and melee. I look at the minimap and gather them until the ranged are in a tight cluster. I then proceed into the middle while the melee follow me. Just like the raptors, everything dies fast. Also, you can take the scalps to Horseman Sarceci to trade for holiday items.

Oh, and I got 4 stacks in 6 hours farming vaettir HM. Plus all the golds, glacial stones, mesmer tomes and dyes I'll ever need. we were talking about spiked eggnog not 1 minute booze you NOOB!
here's the chart to back it up....plus being an aspiring alcoholic myself i KNOW what im talking about.

Umm, Komma, so was he...
He's saying that even if a level 5 drink like the mentioned spiked eggnogg will only give you 3 minutes worth of points, you still need 5 regular level 1 drinks for the same amount of points. Because you only get a point towards drunkard title going from level 5 to 4 to 3 to 2.
After that you dont get minutes anymore. So 1 level 5 spiked eggnogg = 3 minutes = 5 level 1 drinks.

I perma farm Spectral Vaettirs. My runs are 4 minutes.
60 enemies in HM that drop glacial stones + sin, mesmer, ranger, and warrior weapons.
At 2 minutes a pop (including boss) on my ele for HM raptor runs for 34 bad guys.....i find it is nearly even. My preference goes to the Vaettirs over raptors since they are farmed less and drop more golds for me. I can get a stack of holiday items in about two hours (just over 2)......not to mention i cash out about 2 full inventories of golds in that time.
I also don't have any screwed up runs (like a rubberband into a bodyblock, scattering enemies, or any other possibility at no fault to the player) due to my methods.
So on a holiday weekend with about 16 hours invested, i can make a few hundred K or even several hundred K depending on which holiday.
However, that is all pretty slow compared to my Nahpui Quarter run, which nets me about 35k for 10 minutes (or so) of work (not including getting a full party of runees).

Tried many of these builds and still ended up going back to my UW solo Derv build, as it still seems the most profitable.
A smite run takes about 20 mins and I get 8-10 ToT bags per run plus the usual ectos, golds, dyes, phantom keys (I get craploads of these for some reason) and occasional rubies and sapphires.
I'll be buying my Halloween items off you guys and girls
