farming ettins by beetletun worth it

i havent been there for a while and wondering do they still drop a few golds and purple runes

Yes they do.

cheers for helping

Yes I have to agree..<3 that spot.

Just started farming there. I got two Sup Monk runes and my first run. I go about once a day now. I don't want the anti-farm code to kick in.

they are definetly worth it, i have gotten a sup absorb (4 days ago) and a sup vigor a while ago from them

I've been doing trap farming there a bit, as I don't have a warrior at lvl 20 yet (17, desert, so close!). But I haven't gotten anything good yet. I think 2 gold armors, one was a major rune, the other was a worthless sup rune, ele or something. One other frustrating thing was a zealous bow dropped, but I ended up with wood planks. -__- I get so frustrated when I hear about people getting multiple good runes on the first run. Grr.

Gave me a Supieror Absorbtion on my first run. ^_^

..but the other rune was major tactics :S

i got 2 sup absorptions there

i got nothing there so far, major monk runes~

I seem to get maybe 1 gold drop every other run and 1 or 2 purple armous each run. My best day was a Sup Absorb and 2 monk runes. I mostly run it for unlocking runes on new accounts though - but the cash is not bad.

My best run was 2 Sup Vigs and 1 Sup absorp, back when they were both 100k each.

I've found a total of 2 sup absorbs and 3 sup vigors there along with many other sup runes, but I haven't farmed there in a while. So I'm not sure on the drop rate anymore.

A couple of months ago when I first farmed there, I would get at least a couple of purples and a gold each run. The best drop I ever got was a superior vigor. After that my drops started to get a bit crappy, so I stopped farming. Now I just did a few runs after reading this thread and all I got were hardened humps and white pouldrens out of about 10 runs.

I do this run all the time, but unlike most, I come out of Lions Arch, I got a pretty reliable Wa/Mo build than can solo three of them at a time and I always go through the settlement and come back to reset the Ettins.

I have done this about 50 times and have made a lot of cash off of it, but have never had anything better than a Superior Monk, Necro, or Warrior Rune. As many of the golds are actually purple, and many of the purples are actually blue, I make a point of Identifying them first before I salvage them. You get more from the merchant if they are not salvaged sometimes than from the Rune Trader. I have had a few Major Absorption and Major Vigors, but that is about it.

Where I do make a lot of cash is off the Fire Imps outside Lions Arch as they tend to drop Lumps of Charcoal and the occasional vial of dye.
