I can't remember whether stoneflesh reduces damage from armor ignoring damage, if it does then w00t

Then we don't have any problem at all with the PBAoE. I'll try for the fun of trying but i'm sure this can work.

I just tryed stoneflesh farming, it works to an extent but only in NM. And you need to keep the mobs single so you don't overlure.
I still prefer 600/smite, but then again you cant have too many scourages in one group.

I loaded a terra build and editted a lil.
Works fine in NM if you only take on Skelk groups.
Ele/Me
Glyph of Renewal (Echo or arcane echo)
Sliver armor
Ether feast
Armor of earth
Stoneflesh aura
Stone striker
Mantra of earth
Glyph of restoration
16 earth
10 inspiration
rest in energy storage
Went outside Umbral Grotto twice and got me 7 claws already. I only fought 2 groups per run. Seems this weeks farm wont take much time to get all the junk.
EDIT: Actually it is even faster with Glyph of Renewal as elite instead of echo.

Another group of five scourgers took forever to take down with their party healing, but I never had a problem with Symbol of Wrath. The monk boss, however, totally toasted me with that.

With a bit of diligence, I got 15 claws in about an hour, just me in a 4-man team with my Discord heroes. Solo farming is overrated 
Aldric
Tried 4man clearing it with my ranger and was getting 2 per run, then leeched from a duo/smiter team for 20 mins while i ate dinner and also averaged 2 per run.
Changed to my rit spirit spammer and soloed for 25-30 mins and got 19. Might do a few more runs if the price doesnt collapse for them

Jensy
Used the R/Rt build... on my nec (sup endless energy) and got all 15 in about 45 mins. May go out and farm for the lazy people/people who go "farming is too hard wah /wrists" ^_^

It's like with anything in life... people play the lotto daily to make a quick few bucks (million or 5)...
Nicolas and his gifts is nothing different, to be able to get relatively easy items (presents) and open them to get a chance of a fairly expensive minipet - One of which most people will probably sell, since it is the most money they will ever have or come close to having in GW... thus they get upset with not getting 'good' items.
lol... it may even be the hardcore farmers that get upset on not getting any 'returns' on their time investment.
You never know with people these days, they are funny that way.
I have received a Gwen chan, 2 Ascalon Razors, a VDS and an IDS so far - I haven't sold any of them.
I am still keeping all my other items too and spreading the love so to speak.
Anyway, I have farmed 53 claws so far. The prices have come down fairly quickly in the last 2 hours, from 3k-2k-1.5k-1k and now last one I saw was 500g. It should stay at about that price for the rest of the week - 300-500g per claw. At most 1k, I think there will be a fair amount of farming going on, so the price will be dropping because of that.
I am using a Spirit farming build on my necro, averaging 7-10 claws per run, doing a rectangle shape-run in the middle of the Verdant Cascades, killing all the Skelks (except if too many Scourgers, 4+), and then some Wind Riders (boss group) too, 50-60 enemies or so, 20min runs.
1-3 chests on the run too for lucky / unlucky.
I've had one lockpick drop so far, all runs in NM.

About time I got something cool.

Woot.. An everlasting Cottontail tonic. Nice job Nic, you're a legend
SkekSister
I've been using 600/smite with essence and blessed aura, 10 points in insp, and the two visages to drain energy. Smiter has balth spirit, vital, the two smites, rebirth, blessed sig, purge sig and BiP.
Cuts through the skelk in no time at all. Even the groups with the monk boss or 4 or more scourgers spamming heaven's delight. Just pull them all to a nearby rock with the wall on your right so they dont break aggro and let the visages drain all their energy whilst the smites kill em.

I used 600 with dual visage aswell, threw in radiation field just for kicks, adds quite some speed tbh. Got claws in no-time, after that went to try the new spiritspam stuff, got another 10 claws in 10 min solo. NM ftw, they seem to drop like candy there o.o
psycore
Getting less and less motivated to do traveller -_-; got more stupid sparklers yay.
Jebus
2x 5 mysterious summoning stones, 10 honeycombs, 10 sparklers and a Gwen Doll!
Yay Guess I just got a free 400k?
Yay
Tenebrae
Chances of Gwen Doll ? are like 0.001 or somethin ? :/

Dunno about you, but I'm going to stick to the solo farming when I can.
Painbringer
Went solo Perma and got 5
Went in a team (most died including me and rage quit leaving bounty) I waited them out and went back and claimed them all 4 more after rez
Went with 3 heros necro spirit spamer and heal necro MM heal and a smiter got 4
So not much differance for me

It's kind of boring to do the traveler deal with such easy farms. I think the Gloom Seeds week was the most fun of all of them.
boxterduke
I did not get a chance to farm yesterday and prolly never tonight as well, Watchmen is out and I got me a bluray copy today, gonna watch it since I never watched in the theater.
cosyfiep
oh the packrat comes thru again...had dozens of them thar claws in storage....however; nic and I dont seem to see things the same way....15 mysterious tonics, 5 crates of fireworks (that I cant use since my guild has no need of a guild hall) and 10 rockets....

Crap for presents, though, on both my accounts.
ll Jamie ll
Id have to agree with you divine.
Juni berries + Skelk have been the most profitable, i made 80k+ yesterday and i wasn't even doing it all day. (using spirit spam, but on a necro primary, it works on all proffessions... energy isn't a problem).
Yes.. definately sapphire djinn essences.. i only managed to farm 1 essence in 1-2 hours, ended up buying the rest..
GG skelk buyers
Ah, yes. I got 4 in one run before + more in runs to come

I was lucky that I keep certain number of collector drops and the djiinn essences was one of them and I had enough for both accounts.
I still need to farm for this week, watched Watchmen last night, sick.
