which is faster depends on ur proffeciency at either of the farms. vaettir however only require being able to hold up perma shadow form. they both easy though. bombing in my personal opinion is much more fun though

If the mandragor spawn is a problem, pop up SF (just SF) and run back to through the portal. Not that the DP should be an issue, but sometimes those little buggers will camp on the shrine.

I have been mixing up farming vaettirs by kill char outside of Gunners hold. There you get lots of warrior stuff as well as Sup char dolls, and char carvings in prep for wintersday. Only things is to go through the gate to the south first so after you kill the char, then just die, sending you back to res point by the southern gate, then rezone. Also theres a cave to the west full of warrior wolves with a Warrior boss there as well. This is a good place for different warrior skins from the char ones, as well as the elite for the boss, he gives a green para shield as well (which I found rather disappointing, to be honest).

I like keg farming much more. Only thing I gotta do is spam my keys and keep up SF. Simple. I'll take out Avarr, Whiteout, Tamwhatever, Fenrir, The warrior wolf boss, the Ice Imp boss by teh summit. Some of the Summit, most of the Berserker groups. The run there is no problem, simple and easy. Especially with the Charr Invaders quest. Overall like I said bombing requires less brain work. Because you don't have to watch your health like you would in Raptor farming and don't have to use any skills other than 123 and wherever my Return is.

Hopefully Anet doesn't nerf it before Easter ><

Went to try Vaetir bombing yesterday but there were only about a dozen there in total.

Any ideas on a quest that restricts the numbers? Wiki didn't mention any that I have active.

Thanks in advance.

So there is no quest that will affect the numbers of vaetir's?

I think there is a quest but dont know which one. Make sure you are in HM.

Does anyone notice the kill rate? I started bombing a bit before halloween, I was getting very good gold drop rate. Doesnt seem to matter how fast i kill them. I tried to bomb slowly or as fast as i could drop them. I still get good drop. After the "big" update, title updates, the rate seem to drop dramatically. I barely get any gold items. Not sure if anyone notice or not. Let me know about your experiences.

Also do you guy agro both groups then kill them all at once or kill each group one at a time? I cant seem to pull both of them together.... they break agro once going into the other side.
