Post your favorite Farming spot for Special Event Weekends
Tullzinski
With all the special events/item weekends coming up: Clovers/Ales, Birthday Cupcakes, Golden eggs and Chocolate Bunnies people could post some of their favorite spots to farm for these items. Does not have to be the BEST spot just a favorite spot.

Event farms i only do nm - hm has bonus items ( tomes etc ) which means the event drops can be less than nm, this is from my own exp and what others have seen as well.
Fav spots would be
1. Raptors
2. Gates of Kryta - you get orr embs as well
3. Caromi outside la along with fire imps
4. Snowmen
i would include vaetires but due high armor vs ele dmg the time taken by an ele or sin to sliver them its not worth it - keg bombing yeilds less drops ( bigtime lol ) as well as getting there makes it not really worth the hassle.
Id also say 5 would be Uw/Fow but in humour - gave up doing uw/fow on events with drops as id end up with 1 ecto and loads of event drops - rather have ectos :P
Pre is also good as theres a few places i recall that have a small concentration of foes that can be easily farmed - the wurms there can be farmed easily as i tried it last yr .

Keg Run is a little long, but if you stay there until you have full inventory of golds and other event items, you can easily yield 40k+ per run

For the past couple of events I've been doing vaettir and it seems that after a while the gold drops just stop coming.
Quick question, for event items do you people do raptors in NM or HM?

boring raptor run ofc :I

I'll be kegging all day everyday for the items =D
I did Raptors for Grogs on my Ele... 2-3 stacks in a few days drove me NUTS and no other money....
Kegging is the best farm for this imo

I think they are talking about this guy:

Using his powderkegs to wipe out the Vaettirs.
Also used to max out survivor as outlined here:

@all remember does not have to be the BEST spot, could be your favorite spot, perhaps what you go to after you're bored with raptors. Hydras are nostolgic for me

veatirs and then some raptors in between runs to not go totally insane. 
If you don't have GWEN but you do have NF I suggest you farm the undead in Farhuner.
Not big on farming the other campaigns so cant really give advice on those.

Everytime a special event comes along with event item drops the same type of threads (just like this one) pops up.
The replies are 100% identical to one another each and every single time relative to the campaign(s) involved.
A simple search would suffice or even just scrolling through the pages. You are after all in the "farming" section. Heck even if the search fails, there are other places online that will give you similar results.
Raptors & Vaettir farming are always at the top of this list with a few other suggestions here and there. None of which are new. Until Anet makes a huge shakeup in monsters or skills the answers will remain the same for as long as the GW servers stay up. Unless something changes, the next event whether it be next week or in 2 months will still have the same results.

HM Raptor Nestlings
averages 22 kills in under a minute - Event items are not affected by droprate - including Zoning, I get minimum 50 runs/hour
Since Wintersday I've farmed over 14mil XP off the little lizards, plenty of Golds for my Wisdom Title, more Dye than I've ever wanted to look at, and gobs of Useless Purple Books. It helps to outfit Heroes with max weaponry, get mods/inscriptions to sell (so much so that I had to stop salvaging, not enough storage space, lol), and it's bought my Warrior 2 sets of fully runed out Elite Armor (his Primeval and his Norn, Asuran to be following shortly), not to mention now that EotN chests now drop Elite Tomes in HM (got an Elite Necro just yesterday from the Raptor Chest) it's got even more potential.
If I get bored, I farm Hulking Stone Eles in HM in between Ascalon City and Sardelac Sanitarium on my Necro (sadomasochistic freak he is...) or Undead outside of Bergen Bot (Hot) Springs in HM on my Monk.

I'm with you on the Hydra's, my personal favourite.
I also like the caromi outside LA as you actually have to think about what you are doing.

Depends on my mood and needs. If I'm just wanting to farm for drops, Vaittir, raptor nestlings, and spider runs work. Sometimes I like to do CoF runs just to be with the guild doing something. And, sometimes, if I'm wanting materials, the old Bergen's run. Save up them emblems and you might have enough to max out a title or 2!

HM Vaetir Bomber FTW"
Rhiana Reborn
Thread is a tad old, but there are some nice ideas there (did not think of going outside LA for the Caromi, by example), especially since one keg run every 12 hours is all I can take. Run there is easy, the actual farming is easy, but it gets boooring xD
Places I use for farming. Many of them, because I get bored of just one run, but the need for cash is stronger than the hate of farming
Vaettir bombing for golds and event items. I think only Raptors comes close to number of kills per run, and the loot is good as well.
Raptors every now and then, with a not-so-efficient build, but it breaks the monotony.
55 Monk outside Bergen's
55 Monk in Fahranur
55 Monk in Gates of Kryta, just killing the big mob at the start.
330 Rt Luxon sins (Halcyon Job quest)
330 Rt HM Elementals in Old Ascalon.
Touch Ranger against the Wind Riders in the desert. Outside Seeker's Passage, then east. Gotta be careul with pops, since they're quite deadly in HM, but it makes for a nice challenge.
