I am gonna do raptors nm with my paragon with 100blades. I think I am close to maxing my title or may have enough so I will farm the whole weekend and make money off any extra.

I'll be getting my grog at Harry's Chocolate Shop before the football games start. (Bonus points for those who actually know where I speak of.)

Uh, either raptors or vaettirs - I always farmed vaettirs with a Obsidian ele anyway, so keg bombing nerf didn't touch me.

Your bonus points consist of a build answer

:

Arcane Echo
Crystal Wave
Teinai's Crystals
Glyph of Swiftness
Obsidian Flesh
Stoneflesh Aura
Mantra of Earth
Storm Djinn's Haste

Earth - 12+1+3
Inspiration - 11
Air - at least 4 (two spells for Glyph)
Estorage - whatever's left

I could replace Arcane with Sliver but I don't like them running away, and I can't be bothered with getting them against a wall. Six shots of a Crystal spell (three at first thanks to AE, then as they recharge) kills entire mobs because they never try to escape.

I haven't tried this with Arcane Echo + Ether Nightmare + Cry of Pain since my ele has shit for Sunspear, but it'd probably work great if somebody did.

Hmm, interesting...they always used to run from me for whatever reason.

Well then, I'll have to try it out and compare my drop rates between one giant bomb and individual kills, then...everybody always chimes in on if it matters or not, I'll just have to examine for myself!

My ele will be doing undead in GoK. It's almost as good as a raptor farm anyway, plus DOEs for Halloween and a variety of tomes (war, necro, ranger, and mesmer). And it doesn't require MoR.

Wow, long time since I played.

Anyway, I will probably do the Jaya Bluffs as well, at least until I get more time to test out the changes in the Vaettir run and see if I can do it properly on my ele. I haven't played for a few months now

But I waaaant the Grog.

E/Me HM Raptors. I use MoR, but in theory the nerf shouldn't stop the build from working as before.

E/Me Vaettir 2 min runs.
There's a catch, I use Green, Blue and Red Rock every run, plus a cupcake to get from
-50% to +33% or so. Why waste sweet pts right?

Is it just me or is anyone else getting ridiculous ping lag ever since the event started, funny thing is its fine when im standing in Rata Sum outpost, constant green - 90-130ms, yet as soon as I enter Riven Earth I get a constant 700-800ms spiking up to 1500ms which is making farming extremly annoying since with that kind of ping you rubberband back alot, seems weird that this has happened as soon as the event started since I was farming Raptors a few hours before with no lag at all, wonder if Anet somehow made it so you get uber lag in Riven Earth to make Farming harder.

@mystiq

Lag like this happens when everyone logs onto an major event and slows the servers down. Canthan New Year is an example

Through testing I managed to find a me/a build that still works

OQdUA0B6lPT6MLBmAulxA2gki8IA

Shadow form
ar-echo
channeling
radiation field
Mind wrack
cop
Lod
Deadly paradox

You can use SF at least 3 times, giving degen enough time to kill raptors. There isn't a lot of time for picking up drops, and you can't kill the boss...but it works

edit: switch out deadly for vipers, you'll just have to die and reapawn

There's a W/P variant to kill just the nestlings minus the boss, so a P/W reversed should do the trick. The key is to aggro as many raptors as possible, so that Hundred Blades multiplies. You can also auto-attack once with Wary Stance up to trigger a small HB AoE before you bomb them with Whirlwind. 12 in sword should be enough with ~33+boss to multiply HB.

edit: Tested in hard mode: 12 sword is enough to kill the nestlings without BUH if you aggro the whole cave.

Alternately, it doesn't take long to run to Rata Sum from Boreal Station to farm as warrior.

On topic, W/ raptors for me.

After farming Jaya Bluffs for the last 2 years I can tell you all without reservation; kill them slowly. I used to gather agro and kill using VwK, spirit rift, a-rage and LoD. I get much better results using a max degen build: VwK, rad field, poisoned heart, suffering, IAU, soothing memories, generous was tsungrai and necrosis for finishing off darkfeathers. Attributes are 13 soul-reaping, 9 curses, 12 restoration. I even found that pumping curses up to the point where suffering did 3 degen had a bad effect on drops. Using my old build I did the birdies in 11 minutes and got pitiful feathers and armor drops. With the degen build I take 13 minutes but get around 400 (best run was 121 feathers) feathers an hour with excellent blue/purple armor and non-max rare item drops, plus more frequent white/black dye drops. I hope this helps those who dual-farm in Jaya this weekend
