Ok seeing as Anet refuses to bring back my 600, which i miss so dearly, i need to find something else that keeps my interest that involves tanking/farming.

If anyone has any builds AND locations where to farm Peacekeeper/White Mantle mobs that utilize either Terra tanks, 600 monk, etc etc i would greatly appreciate it. So far, ive been using an E/A promise team to get the bounties but that is quickly getting boring.

Goal of this thread: Find and farm an area(s) of White mantle/Peacekeepers that is quick and rezone-able.

NOTE: i hate using my Ritualist so please dont post any DWG or SoS builds because they are boring to me.

Trial builds are welcome as well, just dont post any "stupid" builds (i.e. Wammo)

Thanks

I suggest you start experimenting with your own builds to farm it as they are not invincible to solo farming. They are not the easiest thing to farm but I am going to take a good guess that people such as myself are currently keeping the builds to themselves as they are quite profitable to farm at the moment. I always release my farm builds after I get bored of them or consider that I have made enough money so if you wait a while I will eventually post my version.

Firstly - are you asking for locations or builds ?
Forum rules are no asking for builds so this may get closed rather quick .
Because Wik covers several zones i doubt theres a guide or location list - well wiki would have locations of all Wik foes but common sense tells you where without looking.
Also considering that all Wik foes have no actual set build - they have several builds dependant on spawn - it would be hard to have a build thats going to be easy to kill them with, even as spun ducky says - they are not the easiest to farm and hes one for farming.

wow 4 replies and only 1 has been helpful (lithril). Unfortunately for Mia, SoS is the only build I know of that could work. I haven't used black power mine though as Lithril suggests, so I'll try that next time.

I farm in Sanctum Cay explorable. I avoid the Jade Cloaks as spirits often can't hit them. Just try to keep it to 1 mob at a time. There are a few spots where there are a lot of mobs very close together, and if you don't pull one far enough, a healer from another mob will heal someone from the mob you are going after, which will pull the healer's mob into the mix, and it's virtually impossible to kill 2 mobs at 1 time due to the crazy chain rezzing.

Another thing I've learned farming these guys is, it helps to keep pulling your spirits back during a fight -- it will focus all of their attacks on the nearest guy, and they can spike any single foe pretty fast.

I'd love to know another solo build that would work, and at this stage in GW's life, people who hide farm builds are scum.

Seeing as there is no real reason to farm in HM for anything they can drop your best bet is to run spirit spammer. I've also ran a bonder monk w/ SB and used my sin with just a normal dagger build to kill as well. The best route I've seen for a balance between white mantle and peacekeepers is to leave from divinity coast and make a circle around the entire area, going right from the start. Killing the mes boss can be a hassle sometimes and, of course, the healers but it isn't too bad. It is MUCH easier if you get an ebon falcon ally.

Seems like a noob question, but what are these peacekeepers? Tried to search the wiki but get a little confuse. Im coming to GW after a 6 months hiatus and a lot have changed ( miss my beloved 600 monk and all the dungeons runs ). These peacekeepers are anything like zaishen missions or something? I tried to find their location on the wiki but with zero success.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, I'd argue against the profitable bit, myself.

In NM, I just used a slightly modified spirit spam build, and swept south in nebo, from beetletun. Killed about 50-60 of them in 15-20 minutes:
~40 iron salvage
~20 bone salvage
~1.5k vendor trash
~6 confessor orders
handful of white mantle emblems/badges
*NO* green drops (did it during double green drop weekend - I've gotten 3 green drops so far, none really worth mentioning, the stats seem to suxor for all of em).

Hardly worth farming them, IMO (~10k/hour?). Better to just get them during daily quests for war supplies and 500-1k gold rewards...

I've got 5 characters that can farm the daily quests now, and another 3 are very close (EotN completion). The daily 7/10, 10/15, and 15/22 war supplies quests can mostly be done in about 5-10 minutes each. That nets you 500-1k gold and 10-22 war supplies (~300-400g each) each run. On average, you're looking at ~5K profit every 7 minutes, or ~35K per hour, *just* for the rewards (plus drops/chests)...

Peacekeepers spawn sometimes in certain areas of Kryta, as well as during the WiK quests.

I agree wholeheartedly with Coney. My girlfriend and I have done some duo SoS/SoGM farming on them and the drops have been absolutely abysmal. I've only gotten one green and that was when I was farming them solo SoS and it was a crappy one(the Peace wand). You have to be extremely lucky and get that mini drop to make it worthwhile, and having played as long as I have I know I don't have the luck that it takes. I also have the feeling the people who think they're so smart and hiding their builds are just using modded SoS buils.

^In other words, he's using a modified SoS build and doesn't want to admit it.

i'm sure the 'smitter' is echoing ROJ and not much else, maybe could go mo/r and lay some traps around the spirits

I've been going south from ToA with my SoS with Livia in tow. Then on into Kessex Peak to farm the Silent Peacekeepers there. I've been doing this for days - plenty of Confessor Orders and whatnot but no greens whatsoever. I am starting to think that the greens only drop on quests/missions.

You know, that kind of farming doldrums you start to believe in when nothing will come your way!

the greens have a low drop rate - i got my first green in wtc and after maybe 1000 pkeepers , my team mate who did same amount as me got none an i believe got his green same place after 2000 and we wasnt doing missions but hm vq of the area for fun.
And ive never had a green drop since an ive probably hit around the 4000 kills mark - wik foes amuse me so i enjoy messing with them :P

Has anyone tried 330 rit or a 55 variant on the Peacekeeper Enforcer roadblocks? By the time I even thought about trying it I had already finished BLA on all my chars, so now they no longer appear.

Well I just checked the roadblock @ Beetletun out on my last toon which didn't do BLA, my Ritualist, they were easily killed in NM by a SoS build, like 30 secs and all 7 or 8 mobs were dead. haven't tried out 330, cause I think the SoS was fast enough :P. That's exactly why I asked. A 330 or a 55 should be able to farm them in HM w/o any issues.
