Vaettir Farming

I have a question about Vaettir Farming for you pros.

So, I'm thinking about doing vaettir farming this weekend for the grog event so I was wondering what do you guys do with all of the items? Like all of the weapon drops and stuff you get.

Do you salvage everything or just leave a few things on the ground and only pick up golds/purp?

I really don't feel like mapping every few runs to sell crap

I myself usually bring some merchant summoning stones with me so that I can merch most of the drop I get. Saves a lot of time and mapping :P

^That. Merch stones, pop one after full invent.

1.Pick EVERYTHING UP.
2.Merch.
3.????
4.Profit.

^What they said, just to get another confirmation Go in with empty invent (maybe ID kit and Salv Kit) and take some stones. Keep golds to ID and sell (or to sell for 700/ea unid), wait til invent is full and merch... Good luck!

i personally go back to sell. It takes maybe a grand total of about 5mins to sell the white/blues/purps, put away the golds and then run back to vaettir. In that time you've only lost 2 runs or so. But thats just me.

I have 40~ merch stones, not a problem. Also can never be bothered selling golds; I'm just bothered about farming glacial stones and grog.

I'm picking up all drops: salvage the whites for materials (iron and dust are always good ) and zone to merchant when the inventory is full of golds and purples.

i only pick up the dye's, event item, and golds. when my inventory gets full i go back to longeyes

Hmm a lot of different answers here. Where would I get merchant summoning stones or how much are they ea?

You can find them in Spamadan I'm sure, around 200-300 depending on seller and how many you buy

Personally i do the following -
1. Have 3 salv kits and 3 id kits ( or 1 100 id kit ) and rest of chr is empty except 3 summoning stones.
2. Get everything untill i either run out of salv kits or full of golds.
3. Use 1 merch stone and sort whats needed and buy id/salv kits if needed.
4. Repeat untill out of room totally and have items you dont want to merch .
5. return to outpost/gh and finishing sorting then start all over again.

I like using only 3 merch stones because i believe in the problem of over farming a zone and merch stones mean you can farm 1 place for hrs which may/maynot ( community is 50/50 on over farming theory ) cause worse drops - by using 3 stones then outpost/gh follows a theory that if you overfarm a zone you can "reset" it slightly by going elsewhere for a run - eg going off to do snowmen then returning.As vaetires require a quick jog thru bejora this itself seems to act as a nice "reset".
This is all just what i do and like i said is 50/50 in the community if true but feel free to make your own mind up whether it works or not and please dont start a debate on this thread on the topic ( make a new one elsewhere ) .

Be sure to salvage the white items that give you dust and iron. As long as consets are in demand, the need for stacks of mats will be there. Dust and Iron running at 4.5k a stack is better than merching the item.

Also forgot to say about whites - its worth checking on wiki which items purely give iron or dust or the rare few that gives iron or dust - nothing worse than an axe giving crappy wood instead of iron.
Also on any color items that have measure for measure rip them off - except if on a gold which does iron or dust and is worth 250 upwards - you get more iron/dust and can add the insc to others .This is a general material booster that works similar to great conches at raptors.

I farmed for stuff at the lake but no gold drops does it have to be in harb mode to get gold drops? and do you have to do it solo to get drops

*All foes can drop gold items, with the exception of very low level ones.
*You need to be in HM so that a large mob spawns rather than only a few. Farming them in NM isn't worth it.
*Gold items are not affected by loot scaling, so soloing means you'll get more of them.

Just one quick question myself. Since I haven't farmed this spot myself. Is it true that this farm spot needs to have completed Blood Washes Blood to get the big spawns?

What is the average drop for Piles of Dust per run? I've mostly been getting my dust off Conchs doing Raptors or Amber weapons in Pong Mei. I have an Ele and Sin I've been considering to begin playing again. Only thing is that neither have been to EotN at all. So who should I bring off the bench?

Not sure about the quest requirement, I finished eotn before trying the farm.

You get maybe 2-4 Glacial Stones per run, which salvage each for 4-5 Glittering Dust.
60 foes, 3~minutes to clear. Work it out if it's of any worth to you.
