you will need to levelup till level 5 before doing those quests, because they say it could be exploitable (OMG! megatoken farming ¬¬). your'e kidding me right? if thats true then thats pathetic. if thats an exploit then i guess people farming asuran rank from raptors for you is an exploit too... >.>

Assuming the same items will be available in the same manner as years past: i've done a bit of math to figure out the cost of getting party points (+1 bottle rockets)...they cost 142g ea for materials [(parchment = 5 wood + 20g = 50g ea)+(2 wood = 12g)+(8 dust = 80g), so better to buy at 110-120gp per, i guess. Can do champagne poppers (+1 party) at 154g ea [(tempered glass vial = 5 dust + 20g = 70g ea)+(2 dust = 20g)+(8 plant fiber = 64g) as an alternative, but more expensive. After collecting some 25 stacks of wood and sitting on 2 stacks of parchment, I've realized this is not the most profitable way of doing this! lol I'm so sick of spamming wtb dust....

So, any other festival-related party/sweet farm ideas? Some guildies of mine have been farming all the feast items in preparation for the festival. Just wondering what/where you guys who are farming for the festival are up to, if you care to share..

Wonder if it might be faster just to do raptor farming for lunar tokens? Meh, I hate this game Nice maths but you forgot something -
material farmers dont buy materials - we farm them.
the stacks of wood etc have no real cost for us except cost of salvage kits an thats minimal.
If you want materials then cheapest way is to hm farm and or use m4m mods.
i`ll be using my stockpile of stuff to make rockets as well as event drop farming to make my money

1.000 Bottle Rockets without too much effort FTW.



I just saved up on the drops, now I only have to click Nubah Lao 1.000 times. all good, but ur short 8 stacks of dust

all good, but ur short 8 stacks of dust Oh...my..god... you are right. Slight miscalculation there .

Ah well, 750 rockets is still alot.

UW is a nice place to farm for dust, and the wood is from salvaged weapons. Parchment is crafted by artisans from wood.

Hmm...still a few days left to farm me 8 stacks of dust

Let's play math.

Assume 100 festival items (in this case, Lunar Tokens) drop per hour on a raptor/keg farm. That's a pretty typical festival rate.

That yields 20 gift bags per hour. You've got a 60% chance of pulling 3 items from a bag; 20*.6*3=36 party items per hour of time investment.

There's other stuff in the bags, too...but Lunar Token farming will be pretty meh compared to other event farms where the drops are the desired items rather than something you have to trade in. Figure it'll make farming 10k/hour or so more valuable than normal. Last year, the tokens were missing the "no lootscaling" flag that other event drops have so unless that fix that this year, the story is even worse.

Best way is just to run through the quest line with your characters and mules, at 20mins/toon thats a good 2-4 hours worth of farming.

I thought i was the only one ha

that's gay i ran it several more times and barely got anything how many people did you have in your party? I get anywhere from 60-200 dust in that run, solo. I've only had 1 run when the Fog Nightmares didn't drop piles of dust.

Hey guys, maybe you know some good farm spot for plant fibers? I just prefer champagne poppers than rockets :P. i get a lot from the plants and enchanted brambles in resplendant makuun and around Vabbi, in general (600/smiting)
