Money making time. I might keep the clovers for vanquishing but I don't expect too much DP to be had when I go. The ale will be sold as I have max anyway.

It's almost exactly a 50/50 split between Shamrock Ales and Four Leaf Clovers as far as drops from my experience.

My supply of Shamrock Ales got depleted far more quickly than the clovers. My warrior will be charging headlong into swarms of dinos in a drunken rage to snatch more ale for his terrible drinking addiction. Fortunately, warriors are equipped with heavy armor to deflect most of the damage from careening off cave walls in a drunken stupor.

Eh, so there has been powercreep over the years with the new events having better stuff.
Doesn't mean this stuff isn't useful (it is is a great, cheap way to clear DP from H/H parties).

The farm they are talking about Apoc is the same one you are talking about (killing Vaettirs), only instead they use a sin build that drops kegs/barrels of explosive from an NPC. Its the same farm, just faster.

every time a event weekend comes out I farm the beggining areas of the game why? because its faster kills and faster drops for the event items.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid but I've already had three green dye drops in ~2 hours of farming. Coincidence, or are other people noticing this?

Got two in the same mission on my N/Rt.
I thought it was because she's all green, though. (Canthan necro, green hair, green Luxon armor, you get the drift...)

And to the Friday the 13th people, happy (belated?) birthday.

Wasn't really farming *indulging her book love with a book sale that happened to be on

Nope - 1 hour raptor farming netted me the following (golds/vendor trash excluded):

I also power traded my way to 150K by the time this morning rolled around.

Had some epic fun in veattir country with a dwarf buddy...
I'd have to venture a guess and say 14-15 hours farming in total. (Feels more like 10-12 to be honest though)
