I'm trying to decide if I'll do FoW (no passage scrolls available to buy, so have to wait for favour) or just spend the weekend farming faction or maybe max out the sunspear track.
Decisions descisions decisions ...

Hated having to run to and through the Falls more than the gloom seeds bit. You'd think that using FoW drops as the collectable, that maybe he could have just been standing outside the TOA or something, instead of in the middle of the maguma. Ugh. Straight up running build, cause fighting my way there? Too annoying.
And for all that, I ended up with 10 honeycombs, 10 mysterious summoning stones and 10 merch stones. Bah. Shouldn't have bothered, or just sold the seeds or something.

You can run there with any character just using cupcakes. It's that easy.

Managed to 600/Smite (Hero) for 5 (out of 10 I need) but it seems so slow. What 600/Smite build are people using. Took me a good 30+ mins with what I was using. Failed near end of run cause accidently unflagged hero xD.
Not checked what I got yet cause cant be bothered run through The Falls just yet. Thank ANet it lasts a week <3.

I have never been in FoW and thought it is going to be difficult. In fact it’s not with a decent team.
The problem is the team. Waiting for ages, than there is like rule one ot two freeloaders – usually W or A. Yesterday( after 4 runs and two seeds) I joined a team with Assassin with a name with N…. This was the top experience this evening. When we got in the forest and first seeds start dropping this guy stopped and wanted us to drop all seeds that we have…he will (eventually) split so that everyone has a seed. There was another guy who said he believes him. I did not. So I left. I thought this was the X dodger in a raw.
I had enough for one evening and went to bed. Hope tonight will be better.

I bought the seeds. Then I sold the presents.
2 accounts, 50k profit for ~20 mins work.
Who says Mondays are a bad thing?!?!

ending up doing the a/e perma silver form and got 5 seeds and 2 obsidian shards in one run 
Though it would have been smarter to sell the gifts instead of openning them
Anyone else absolutely LOATHE those stupid cottontail tonics?

Actually Ive been just been buying up all the kegs for the drunk title. My gifts translates to 1000 points per week. 5 more weeks will have title.
Also, I just loved the farm this week. I havnt been to FOW for years. I used to find this farm sooooo difficult, now I was surprised how easy it was. What a difference a year or two makes.
Divine Ashes
I've been doing the solo Ranger Burning Arrow build for the forest. I average probably 12 seeds and 2 shards per run, with my best being 16 seeds and 5 shards.
...tres profitable.

Decided to finish FoW with two friends, since we were going to hop in there for the Gloom Seeds anyway. Had fun doing so - ended up short two seeds, but one of the friends gave me two of hers to make up since she'd already got her presents. <3

It took me a while to run my 2nd account from LA, but I enjoyed it, and in particular seeing the magnificent Magguma Jungle and the special place where the statue of Balthazar is. I remember how amased I was when I first discovered it (it may well be Anet guiding those who've never been there to see it).
10 bottle rockets, 40 champagne poppers, 10 Ales, 3 disco balls, 5 blue rock candies, 5 mysterious tonics and ... Everlasting cottontail tonic! I'll enjoy it while people will bid on it and it may well pay me my Obsi armor

I have 15 gifts... I can't decide whether I should sell or open. The prices for them are so high... but :'( It's such a tough choice.

. Honestly, these gifts are nice, not so difficult to get (didn't have the time to farm this week, but these seeds were cheap!) and provide you each week with sweets&party items (slow progress to titles, but progress yet) and other goodies. And there's the chance to get a big prize (Mini gwen chan FTW).

Had fun on this using GWML (Guild Wars Multi Launch) and my two accounts. Did FoW on both accounts together to get the seeds, and then had to run my second account from ToA, but again did it using GWML so had both accounts running side by side, which meant only one visit to The Falls was required.
Got one keg and a Vampiric Dragon Sword out of the ten gifts :-)
All good fun :-))

Where do you open your gifts?
I did my fist 5 in ToB that was good choice but next 5 on my other character where so so. Maybe if you open them in UW or DOA you will get better items?

It's called luck. Doesn't matter where you open them.

Just wait, he will probably move again on the same moment as he did last weeks.

So my guildy had an ecto drop in FoW.
And I didn't get a seed.
When something like this happens - you just go out and buy the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing seeds.

I mean seriously, the guy gets an ecto in FoW (!!!!) and I can't even get a seed!??!
(Just traded them in and got crap, filled with crap covered with crap. With some crap on the side.)
honnaja
I saw on wiki that there's a small chance ectos can drop in FoW, where upier said. Haven't seen it myself, but I've read somewhere before that there's a chance (albeit miniscule, or practically non-existent) of any monster dropping any drop.. That doesn't sound right (Rajazan's Fervor from a little fire imp.. lol); probably just non-unique items.. anyway.. doesn't seem impossible..
Just popped in to check something, and people are arguing about whether he's moved or not...... hehe
