You guys must be going through a run of bad luck or something, because I have been doing that run today with no problems whatsoever - still getting the same loot including tons of gold items.

There are plenty of bots there im sure. A day after I posted the picture and told a few people, the number running out of dc skyrocketed. If its going to get nerfed, it will be wed, and if not then, in the next patch. I got 5 gold out of 7 runs last night. One had a health +29 staff wrapping on it but it didnt salvage. I was kinda pissed.

Thats happend to me too Stryker.. And yea, i noticed all the new bots..:/ Arena net needs to like temp ban anyone that does a run more than 100-200 times without stopping or going somewhere else or something..Then they can reveiw the ban and see if its a bot, or actually was a legit person, and either lift the ban, or make it permenant.

They really really need to nerf it, I had all these great upgrades from a few drake runs, but no one buys upgrades anymore.

No they dont need to nerf it and they only buy near perf or perf upgrades.

They do, how would you like it if your faithful farming spot stayed around long enough to become useless.

As for the mods, they are near perfect.

You guys rock...that divinty coast spot helped me to get my guild hall...of course, selling those items took a long time (10x longer than the actual farming). Well, no more farming for me...its painfully boring.

you can try Chesting in the Dragon's Lair, and as there are 2 chests, one full of gold and another with very nice items, you can get something. The only catch? You need a good party to get there

um...you dont need a "GooD" party to do dragons lair, ive done it maybe 4-6 times with hencies (im a Necro/warrior) but the divinity coast barrel is a lot better cuz you can do 30 runs in an hour and get really good drops

actually you dont need a good group, I have done it with Henchies and it one of the easiest missions I have ever done. Also there are more than 2 chests, there is one in almost every level 6 total I think it is.

my only question for the DC area (my apologies but I haven't been to that area in a long time) is "Are they found during the mission portion or just zoning into Watchtower area?

other than that, I will find my own way....just looking for a nudge in the right direction.

Yes, but henchies steal your drops =P Not worth it unless you can solo it.

Riverside owns this form of farming... or it used to. I was finding 8 sup runes a day. Now that sup vigors and absorbs are down, I started trading. EDIT: 8 gold salvage armors... heh, but usually those turn into sup runes.

LOL, try telling that to the people that are there complaining that it was nerfed. I went there after the patch as a test run and first thing I saw was everyone complaining that it was nerfed, so I ran out to the barrel. First try got 1 white, 1 blue, and 1 purple item. A pretty normal drop.

Or people who don't like to farm. Anyways, has anyone noticed if DC has less drops now from the chest? I personally got complete shit the couple times I ran it after the updates.

Yeah, the drops don't seem to have been affected much, if any at all. I'm gonna continue farming there, and I encourage you too also =P.

Well, sorry to say it's been nerfed reguardless of what people are saying.

I did 30 runs throughout the day on several different characters, 0 purples and 0 gold.

It seems all forms of chest farming has been nerfed. I had a secret spot where i got low dmg 1-2 gold weapons per run (avg 1 probably). I tried doing it after the patch, and i get purple weapons fine, however, I got absolutely no gold weapons. Bye bye, my source of income.

I dunno what anyone else says but far as I'm concerned yet again they nerfed this too. I'm really getting sick of it too, paranoid or not I enjoy farming.

Why is anet so set on nerfing everything fun about farming? It's something to kill some time with when I don't have time for missions, just pop on for a bit and farm. I don't even sell most of the stuff I get, if I do its usually to a merchant b/c it's too much of a pain in the @ss to sit in Lions Arch for 2 hours spamming the trade channel, then deal with hagglers when you do find someone to buy something.

Not even worth trying anymore.

Yup...i hate those lions arch people...50x more spammy than Ascalon. 50x worse than Ascalon with an idiot in it. IDK...chest farming seems sort of wimpy now. Check this screenshot. This is the mans way to farm:




BTW, this is a friend of mine. I am not ub3r enough to farm like him. So don't bother him with your praise.
