I'm loving his story, he was scared to go see Gwen. Now he gives hints of Zinns location. What kind of plant could come from a seed of such legends?

Sure. This build can be used to clear the cave as well (for shards). Used this on and off for 2 years now. Doubters Dryders are also not a problem.

12 Gloom Seeds in 2 runs (about 15 mins each), also got 3 shards, a ruby and couple of keys. This is done in NM btw.

Good luck.

Note: the second person in the party is my brother, who was doing the forest at the time, (not as quick).

I will probably be giving the R/Mo Barrage Forest Famer a try when I get home from work. I'm not very experienced in the FoW, so thank goodness for the large pile of FoW scrolls I've amassed from vanquishing ^_^

Lol , your right , i stopped complaining and went there with just 3 heros and had no trouble getting the 5 seeds,my mistake was that last time i did the FOW i had only just started and only had Prophecies skills so obviously it seemed alot harder to me than it actually is,teaches me to QQ before i try to do something >.<

Max sword (while in stance, if not 15^50%)
Furious Hilt
+7 Physical (if not +5 general)

Max Shield (mainly for cave but...)
+10 vs piercing
-2 (while in stance)

You can also get a helm that you swap over which reduces hex duration for the run if your finding the scales a problem.

Hope this helps.

The only time consets are useful is during FoW HM, otherwise, they're wasted expense. If you're using consets during NM you're doing something horribly wrong.

Guess it's time for some more FoW runs. At least I like doing this whereas farming Chromatic Drakes and Mandragors was boring. And there is the plus side of getting some shards.

I can't believe it's something from the Fissure of Wow - Gloom Seed. That severely limits the number of players who can farm them. Mpst will have to buy them at the normal exhorbitant price for a Nicholas item.

Bad, bad item selection on ArenaNet's part.

Can kill every thing on beach, make sure spiders are not all next to each other or there healing springs will make them impossible to kill.

So I would use a dagger shadow form build over a terra? Isn't there a lack of energy?

Can I also have a map since I'm not familiar with FoW?
Also attributes+equipment?

Other builds are also appreciated, guys

I can't believe the amount of QQ for this. Sure, its not red iris flowers, but its still pretty easy to get.

Edit: No maps, but here is the basic idea. Follow the wall behind you and head right. Avoid the shadow mobs. Up ahead after climbing up a hill, you will see a small path heading to your right. Wait a moment, and a large group of shadow creatures will run out of it. Do your best to side step and avoid them, and once they are out of the path, head down that way. Down that way, you will find your first snarling driftwood mobs. Farm and kill those. Then, you will be by the beach (there is watery shoreline there). There are scales there that give 10 degen and can kill you pretty fast. Avoid those by skimming the wall. You should see a few more driftwoods. Kill those. If you want to farm some more, you can farm by entering a cave to your left and kill all the cave spiders (like from the minipet and tonic) to try to get shards.

Why does it limit the players who can farm them? There's a simple farming build for the beach and/or the forest for every prof I can think of, and the SF build is completely standard. Furthermore, you can *gasp* go down with other players too. 1k/8 people = 125g per. If you get two white drops, you're basically paid for, and that's not even considering the possibility of shards. I'm fairly certain that collector drops are affected by LS, so it's not like you're so much more inefficient by taking a half full, or even full, party.

1 run just to try, me 600 with smiter hero, 6 seeds, 1 shard, 9 golds, 3/4 stack of dust rest of bags full of grapes and blues, 79 iron. Only went to forest, didn't have time to go to beach. Guess I'll do a bunch of runs after work, could be good.

This is relatively easy to farm. If people can't manage it, then they are not very good players. Considering multiple classes can solo the area, I don't see what makes this hard to get.

OK, I apologize to ArenaNet for my comment. I'm reading FoW and thinking UW. I blame it on my lack of sleep this weekend.

Averages about a gloom seed every 3 mins if Skales are in bad spot, about a seed a minute if they're not.
