2010 Halloween ToT Bag Farming

1: Get a spirit spammer capable character to the Halloween quest "Every bit helps". This is repeatable, gives 10K exp, 25 ToT bags and 1K (Paying for your entrance fee to UW

2: Get this quest and abandon it and then accept it again until you have a shitload of gobstoppers

3: Go to UW. Clear the Chamber killing all Skeles of Dhuum and capping them. If you include most of the skeles in the village in the vale as well you can average about 15 gobstopped skeles per run depending on how quickly you kill the mobs of skeles and how patient you are (you have a minute to recover from capping a skele). Doing a chamber clear plus all the other skeles before the mountains and wastes and before coldfires in vale takes around half an hour give or take.

4: Go to snake mountains or chaos planes if you really want to.

5: Get rewards from zoning out and back in with reward giver. Recommended to do with a character that wants survivor title

Every UW run in this sense (assuming 15 or so gobstopped skeles...To be fair you probably will average more like 12 unless you are good with timing the spirits to kill stuff, because a pbonded skele dies real quick.) will cost you 1 K, half an hour of time and return 50K EXP, 125 Trick or Treat Bags, 5K gold and all the ecto and other nice drops you get from skeles/aatxes etc. It's better to go with a full human team if possible and just clear the chamber. You'll split the costs of the entrance, and clearing just chamber over and over awards more skeletons than doing a full run trough UW.

One skeleton cannot be captured by multiple people. Never tried it with other people in the party.

its less enemies... yes but also less time...
you can do 3 raptor runs while someone else is doing 1 vaettir run....

still i prefer vaettirs cause they drop better gold stuff and better skinned low req shields... (for example crude, oaken, spiked)

cheers

whats so great about farming event items from raptors...its less enemies...vaettir may be a good ways to run, but u got 60 vs 40 (raptors) and they are 2 seperate mobs...once u get to the vaettir its kill em all then rezoen rinse repeat...should yield much more oglds and tots.. This has been discussed so many times. I'll sum up the facts I know;
I'm NEVER, EVER longer then 2 minutes in Riven Earth for a single raptor run (from zoning in to typing /resign).
A raptor run is 34 kills.
On a vaettir run, using the fastest build possible, I've NEVER, EVER been able to get the /age function to show 4 minutes standing in front of the portal to norrhart domains, nor is it effective to pull all at once since this simply costs more time then making 2 seperate pulls. The northern half pull is 24 enemies and the southern 36, so you kill far less at once then a raptor farm on the first pull and slightly more on the second pull.

Also, you don't get elite tomes on vaettir farms (the glacial stones don't even come near making up for this). And, but that's just my experience, I've done a crapload of vaettir runs and a crapload of raptor runs, I always have multiple black and white dyes after about 2/3 hours of raptor farming and I've never had more then 3 total black/whites after 2/3 hours vaettir farming.

Vaettirs = simply less kills / minute, and as such less ToTs (or whatever event item) / hour. Raptors are simply more effective.

Vaettirs = simply less kills / minute, and as such less ToTs (or whatever event item) / hour. Raptors are simply more effective. just to clarify something - vaetires can be done with /age of 3 mins on an e/me and possibly a/mo ( dont use myself so can someone verify ) , a/me and me/a used to be around 3 1/2 mins untill the nerf on ether nightmare recharge which added in total almost 30 secs making runs now around 4 min mark.
longer than 2 mins ? most farmers i seen would state if your there for 2 mins then your seriously slow - 2 runs = 4 mins max which means an ele doing 60 vaetires in 2 mins works out to match the kills almost ( well 3 min runs beats 4 mins hands down even if its just 6 foes in total difference )
Elite sin tomes aint worth a huge amount and stop saying about dyes - its luck otherwise every raptor farmer would be selling black dye and its price would plummit.
Vaetires are the alternative to raptors which on an ele is easier to reach than raptors not requires any title rank for skills.So please refrain from the raptor part - even if we know its the only decent solo farm a warrior can do and tbh they have to have a hero holding their hands to do it
(I wont go on about how many solo farms other professions have )
If anet ever nerfs raptors then everyone cept raptor farmers will be loling just like the ppl who lol when sf was nerfed then cried in disbelief as it didnt kill sins usefulness or sf :P ( Sorry had to be said as a lot of sins had abuse from stupid players who think their warriors are the best in gw).
Ok i feel much better after that lil rant
