This is what I use... maybe someone can use this info or even add to it.
I farm Tengu because they trade very well during events. 1 per item during Halloween and 2 per spiked eggnog during Wintersday, see wiki for more.
In about a half hour I typically get , 15-20 Feathered caromi scalps, as well as 30-60 feathers, 1-2 dyes, 1-3 golds 4-6 IDable runes plus hundreds of gold. I have estimated that other than scalps a run if worth 4K on average.
I use a War/Ele for this farming...
Weapon---Sundering(20/20) Chaos Axe(req 9) of Tenguslaying(+20%),
w/ Vengeance is Mine (+20% dmg v50% Health) Inscription
Shield--- Exlated Aegis (req 9 str) Armor 16, -5dmg (20%), +30 Health
Armor- Helm +1 Axe Mastery
-- Radiant & Minor Axe Mastery
-- Knight's & Major Vigor
-- Radiant & Minor Tactics
-- Knight's & Minor Strength
Spells
F1--Health Signet
F2--Power Attack (Energy based) or Penetrating Chop (Adrenaline based)
F3--Executioners Strike (Adrenaline based)
F4--Triple Chop (Elite)
F5--Cyclone (Energy based) or Whirlwind (Adrenaline based)
F6--Inferno (Fire) or Aftershock (Earth)
F7--Sprint or Rush (Adrenaline based) In case things get hairy!!!
F8--Armor of Earth
Typical skills
Earth-3 (use aftershock and Earth can be cranked up)
Fire-7
Axe Mastery-13
Strength-9
Tactics-7
Most groups of Tengu have 1-2 scouts/wild and 2-3 braves. I go at Wild 1st or Scouts 2nd. When braves surround i hit Inferno, then Armor of Earth. Then interchange Triple Chop, Health and Cyclone Axe. The key is to have some patience, it's difficult to survive fighting a group of more than 4 or 5. Also try not to use Armor of Earth first as you can get knocked down and the spell is wasted and with a 30 second recharge time for Armor of Earth it can be to late. Hence why Keep Sprint on hand.
If you got Candy Apples or Birthday Cupcakes go ahead and use more Energy based skill as they are usually more effective. Otherwise keep more Adrenaline based at hand.
I tried an Axe with Furious (10/10) and more Adrenaline based skills and felt they do not open back up quickly enough to make the skills useful!

Normal or Hard mode? I'm guessing NM...

Because most of the tengu do physical damage you're much better off just using Physical Resistance from the mesmer secondary. Your killing speed won't be lower because your build will become a lot less energy stressed then when using Fire or Earth mastery spells from the elementalist secondary.
Try to add in Lion's comfort instead of healing signet because it's a lot more beneficial in case of healing. also try to put in an ias and your adrenalin gain should be enough to constantly heal your self without the downside of the -40 armor from healing signet.
Build:
Lion's comfort
Physical resistance
Attack skill

Flail
Sprint

Somewhere around this and you should be fine.
Hope this helps.

Yes. Normal mode.
Thanks bart. i'm about to ascend this charecter and have mostly been thinking of monk as a second, mainly because i've never used a mesmer. Whats a good area spell from mesmer spell that'd work.

I also farm this area, mainly just the area directly north of D'alessio seaboard, i use either a N/M or N/Me mainly relying on spiteful spirit/arcane echo,insideous parasite,enfeebling blood and some kind of minion skill ,usually create shambling horror.
bart123
What i'm saying is that you actually don't need any spells just attack skills.
Spells like inferno or aftershock cost way to much energy for a warrior. so ur better off using attack skills.
If ur going warrior Monk then I'd suggest using Healing Hands as ur elite to heal yourself. Instead of Physical resistance take dolyaks signet and your done.

A general minion master build with healing breeze farms these quite well. A N/D with aura of the lich, infuse conditions, dark bond and mystic regen with minion spells would probably work just as well. these are both for nm btw.
For hm, this works wonders: http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:A/...Daggers_Farmer
Just gotta be careful when fighting the sword tengu, riposte goes thru shadow form.

I just use my A/E pools build with Glyph of Swiftness instead of IAU, works great.
Then again, that thing can farm everything which is Shadow Form'able.

If I'm ever getting low on feathers this is the build I use (HM of course);
OwZjgwf84QSf8I6MulID5i8QpiA
[Glyph of Swiftness][deadly paradox][shadow form][radiation field][glyph of lesser energy][ebon battle standard of honor][sliver armor]["by ural's hammer!"]
I leave from D'Alessio Seaboard as it's closer. I pull into 2 general mobs, one to the south west, and the second to the north east near the boss spawn.
Gather and stand between rangers and mesmers so radiation hits everyone.
I use a zealous scythe & target melee.
chain 5,6,7,8 then once enough energy is gained, 4 (should be about 15 seconds after 8, so the attack chains alternate each other)
Runs take about 12 minutes, kills about 45 or so. If I remember correctly; at least a stack an hour of feathers.

Good builds, i usually use 600/Smite or SF but i dont clear much for time reasons. Can anyone post a pic of how far they farm tengu?
Zodiak
I tend to use something like the following
Glyph of Switness
Deadly Paradox
Shadowform
Jagged Strike
Signet of Infection
Wild Strike
Death Blossom
Critical Agility
Signet of infection will spread desease to everyone once they are balled up and death blossom just does the killing. I tend not to use Sliver Armor just because the Rangers have Armor VS Earth Dmg and it gets slower killing them once most of them are dead.

While Dolyak Signet can be used to increase your armor, since there is no fear of KD, why are you going to take a -75% IMS? Armor doesn't decrease degen, and those Wilds aren't going to stand there and let you hack them down. They'll kite while you turtle-step trying to get in range to hit them with your Sword/Axe.
davicams
so are there any mesmer or ele builds that can solo the tengu?
tuna-fish_sushi
Wouldn't farming gargoyles be more efficient? 2 skulls to 1 spiked eggnog. Right outside of Nolani academy. They are a lot lower level and almost all their damage comes from degen which can easily be negated with a regen.
riktw
i did it as 600/smite
you need 16 devine favor, spell breaker, arcane echo, that enchatment that causes monk enchatment to last longer and an 20% enchanting weapon and than you can keep spell breaker up forever

I've been farming this area in HM for over a year now, making tons of cash with feathers.
About 120-180 feathers per run (7.5k-9k per stack when prices were more volatile, depends on weekend dungeon bonus events...) Tons of gold drops and loot alone is worth some 3-5k per run. Can take a while though...

elypta
well i was thinking woudnt warrior with ranger sec and melandru's resilence could easely do it, since they inflict some condition and the mesmers soem hexes. with that you could use some more energy skills bocause of that regen..gonna try it out
zinfamous
well.....being that I haven't played much in many months, I guess I can break the silence.
even though the exact build was posted on these pages over a year ago (though I didn't knwo about it when I started using it) it's an echo VwK rit. phys resistance and a long casting "trash" skill that is used to draw otu the Wild's interrupt, allowing you to cast the echoed, then 3rd (recharged) VwK without worrying about interrupt. Extremely effective, though it does require some luck (the wild's actually interrupting when you want them too). After much practice, you can even take on groups with 2-3 wilds. with the proper set, you can farm most of teh bosses that will spawn. imps are super easy, and they drop coal. happy hunting (I never wanted to see bots out here or several districts clogged with rits at d'alessio, hence why many of us swore to secrecy abour this a year ago... )

I used to farm the Caromi outside of Lion's Arch last year to trade scalps for spiked eggnog. Though most people have probably completed this quest (only available to prophecies characters), it let me just rampage through the map as a Mind Blast Ele with 4 NPC allies that don't take drops (Devona, Aidan, Cynn, and Mhenlo follow you around in North Kryta Province with the quest active). [Mind Blast][Immolate][Rodgort's Invocation][Meteor][Optional][Mantra of Concentration][Fire Attunement][Aura of Restoration] Mantra of Concentration > Cry of Frustration Aura of Restoration > Shatter Enchantment on the Caromi Wilds. Could bring Liquid Flame, Glyph of Elemental Power, Flame Djinn's Haste, or some other Fire or PvE skill. Just a farming method that mimics normal play so you don't feel like you're solo farming with boring VwK, Shadow Form, earth or smite skills. Kree Clan
can someone post a picture of the map of the run/farm for me please?
Marty Silverblade
It's not really a run, you just go out to the big mob and nuke them all. Theres not much to it.

If there was a map that would be cool though.
joshuarodger
this is what i use for this farm in Hard Mode. it's a 330 HP Ele. use lowest armor rating possible with radiants and attunements. you need an earth magic +1+3 headpiece and a +3 E-storage rune. i use a +2 air magic rune just to lower my health a little more since i kill anywhere from 1-4 bosses each run which will raise your health over the 330 that [[[email protected]] will negate. you don't really need the extra negative health rune but it helps sometimes.
the run takes about 30 minutes but i also kill everything in that area including imps scales and the possible boss spawn in the southwest corner of the zone. if you're just doing it for feathers and scalps, you can do all the big groups in the middle of the zone in about 15 minutes. i usually run outside of LA and die and just get rezzed at the rez shrine in the middle of the area. the build itself is pretty self explanatory except for the fact that you always have to cast PS before stoneflesh. if you do it the other way stoneflesh goes into effect first then the remaining damage is reduced by PS which means you still take 33dmg per hit, which means you go boom. [build prof=E/Mo name="330 Ele" box earth magic=12+1+3 energy storage=8+3 protection=11 air=3+2][protective spirit][spirit bond][stoneflesh aura][obsidian flesh][ebon battle standard of honor][glyph of swiftness][sliver armor][balthazar's spirit][/build] attributes may be a little off but it's something like that. i know earth is 16 and Prot is 11. the run can feel slow due to obs flesh but it's pretty quick really. not sure but i may try [[radiation fi] in place of battle standard to try and speed things up. kill the mesmers first since they have [[shatter en] and then you won't have to worry about obs flesh and you can use GoS on battle standard and sliver.
