Hi, I would like a list of different locations (including threads) that a solo-monk can farm.

Current Locations:
Bleached Shells (outside Dunes of Dispair)
IDS Farming (Mineral Springs)
Griffon/UW Farming (Also UW 2 Man Farm)
Chest Farming (Dreadnaught's Drift)
Rune Farming (Titan Farming)

Under World Farming:
dorkxd's Comprehensive Solo UW Document + Videos )
MiteeThoR's Ultimate UW Solo Guide
Cerb's Two Man UW Farming (also griffon farm)

I know there are others out there (ex. hydra, troll, sf, etc.) but since the sacred search function is down for now please post your solo-monk farming threads so we can have a nice collection here (ill add on as its posted).

Hydras have knock downs attacks tho :/, not good for a 55 when u need healin breeze and ur knocked down lol,

Also another good place to farm is the Troll cave right out side of Droks. exiting through Talus Chute and takeing a sharp left and farming the cave after aviraca there are 2 troll boses also they have some ok elites to capp

With SoJ and Arcane Echo sometimes its hard with a monk due to the cast time. I find it easier with a mesmer.

Also get a necro and you will be killing them much faster with SS.

while doing bleached shell runs i've found that runes have been dropping from the enchanted (sword, axe, etc) outside of dunes of dispair. Not sure how effective this might be but its worth a try.

You could just put up links for all the tutorials and stuff, since its easier to look at the first page than sift through all the pages and look for what you want.

yeah griffons is a pretty good spot to farm when first starting out. It gives a lot of rares (warrior griffon boss give occasional keys which you can use on chests you may encounter) and a lot of gold. Downside is that no runes drop. Wish someone would make a 55 monk guide for rune farming that would be nice (since i havent completely finished the game with my 55 monk yet i cant farm titans)

When farming Beetletun with my 55 I use my regular high health armor for the first part, until all the Aracara are dead. Then I change to 55 armor for the Ettins. When they are dead I slip out the back door to zone, then step back in and hit the Ettins again without having to go through Aracara.

I have trouble farming ettins with my 55 simply because they stop attacking and heal themselves. Maybe I should go Mo/N and make a spiteful 55 instead? SoJ just doesn't seem to work...

^use that build. the only requirement would be that your 55 monk would need a sword (20% as stated would be best for this farm).

--edit--
I would also like to state that ill be slowly progressing on that farming thread i was talking about earlier. Since im still noob (compared to the likes of cerb, sno, etc) i may leave out some higher level farming areas (but will still add in info about it..hopefully). Expect it to be out in 1-2 weeks (homework is pileing up)

I can take on 6 NO PROBLEM .... first of all NO arcane echo.

Just SoJ owns them alone, all you do is wait for KD's, I did it 105 hp on my monk. It's not hard AT ALL. The first spell they use it meteor, so just wait for it to get casted then SoJ and watch em DROP, they go down fast.

Hydras are no problem, the main problem is rounding them all up :P

also i tend to make the most money farming hydra's :P just clear all them and the few griffons there then sell all the stuff and have about 5-7k in 20-30mins
