Spent a couple of hours attempting to solo multiple places in cantha, but I can't find anywhere. Anyone know a build to solo something in cantha as warrior?

The biggest problem is that most groups in Cantha are balanced (meaning no solo farming as far as I knor :\)

Been farming Nahpui, kinda. It's too slow to really make it worth while, and since the Star enemies are only level 20 you aren't guarenteed max equipment. You could kill some of the essences as well, but you only get exp/drops from the first time you kill them.

In the one day I was doing it, I got a 15/-5 energy Celestial bow which was nice, but from a chest. The majority of chests, maybe it's just me, seem to drop purples. The rares that dropped from the actual enemies themselves would only have max upgrades if you were lucky enough to salvage them.

There is stuff to farm you just have to look all over for it. I haven't found any good spots with monsters above level 20 yet. I got a max 15% above 50 celestial hammer from the first chest i opened, to bad it wasnt an axe or sword. I tried doing some chest runs around the marketplace area and just got a bunch of purples and some crappy rares. The first couple days I set up my running build and ran everywhere and chanced upon some farming in the undercity that is extremly easy with a warrior. So far I havent gotten any great drops though. I need to get farther in factions and then ill start looking for some high level monsters to farm.

I've already found a ton of places to farm. *keeps quiet* Do your own homework first. I don't want to spoil the fun for you lazy people.

I've opened like 50+ chests, gotten around 5 golds...all throughout Cantha this has been. The golds I got were decent probably more due to the recent chest twinks. Maybe my luck, maybe the suq.

I get amused by the posts that are along the lines of "omg i solo farm 500k/hour but not telling how or where" , "why doent u try fiend it urself noob lol i alredy farm vrry much" "I own all the monsters in that area outside that city with the 2 exits dont remember name" etc. The players that have deep knowledge of soloing are usually specialised in 1 class and don't mind sharing their builds and tips. Racthoh has always been posting full guides on areas/builds and farming with Warrior, "dont feel no pain" and Lambda have done so too, and everything that's worth knowing can be found under the sticky "important warrior posts" sticky. In the forums for the other classes you can also find that the most skilled players share their knowledge, as after some point it's more the challenge of being able to solo something that seems impossible than the gold income that counts.
About Cantha, we all yet have the same problems: The early areas of the game aren't really worth the effort, as the drops are not max, the chests don't yield anything worth noting either. Soloing depends on having to deal with one kind of enemies and build to defeat it, the groups that include rangers, ritualists, warriors and assasins, and that won't split if you try to lure them, aren't exactly farming food.
You can keep an eye for small parts just outside outposts/towns/missions, you can have some small groups of 1 profession that you can try to beat, but so far I haven't seen anything really tempting, and I am more interested in completing the missions , quests, getting all towns and outposts, checking the new collectors and crafters etc.
My advice is to just go with the game and keep an eye open for areas that appear tempting, and eventually something will come up. Keep also in mind that we have lots of new skills that yet need to be studied and see what we can come up with.
Oh I forgot to tell you: Lol i farm 500k per hour in cantha!! but i wont tell lol

Been farming faction with the henchmen in Ferndale. Takes about half an hour (without deaths), you'll run into 3 chests, get 300 gold, 4000 experience, and 800 Kurzick Faction from the two quests. Every 1000 faction you can trade for an Amber, which as we know sell for a fair amount at this time. It seems almost like an exploit because it's fairly easy to do, provided you don't foolishly let a patrol get you.

To me, this is the best thing I have found at this time. It's going towards my Friend of the Kurzick title, Wisdom Track, Treasure Hunter, and Drunkard (running supplies with a clear path is boring heh). Even with henchmen, I find that I usually get at least one gold item and a few purples each time I've done it.

I'm thinking of trying Arborstone, it feels like it could be soloed. Although I'm more concerned with capping all of the elites before setting my eyes on mass solo farming for now.

If you are really having a hard time finding solo spots look no further then the missions...plenty of rediculous opportunities there.

if not, then you should learn it and beable to farm FoW solo even to the point of having to tank a few skale while the shadow army slinks away from an unfortunate encounter.

Whats this got to do with cantha?
*cough loose chunks of unmentionable in j0r face*
pardon me? E V E R Y T H I N G!

This build has to do with every area in the game, I can use it to farm imps, ettins, mantids, afflicted, etc etc.

You need a lot of AC, and this build has it. The self healing and the immediate efficiency in a live or die situation (requirement) is met completely. (I've even tried it in Alliance battles and ya, it works on players as long as they are stupid enuf to try and stand toe to toe.

My modifications to the build;
Everything is the same except for the following;
Armor - Stays the same but you switch to Sentinels in Kaening.
Weapons - Use FDS on plants, and ICS on pesky fire elementals. (just make sure you got a hilt mod for speicific monsters whos resists are low to an element.
Attributes -STR 14 SWORD 12 TACTICS 13 Skills - Reposte as extra attack skill vs assassins otherwise - Sun and moon slash with 100 blades and instead of mending, take watchful spirit! You can actually cast it before most things get an interrupt off!

Basically, I suggest taking this build and trying to solo (with a few hench) as much of cantha as you can. From what i've noticed, it actually fairs better than 2 standard noob / voob warriors (voob = vetran who turned back into noob because of expansion)

So ya,
great build. mostly all u need.

    So ya,
    great build. mostly all u need. you do realize a majority of the people that have posted in this thread probaly have already tried out this build or something very similar and concluded that it doesnt work in most the areas right? sure it might work if the spawn is right, but any time else, your gonna get messed up by necros, mesmers, eles, or something else more nasty, the "LOTS OF AC/AL" and mending/watchful spirit doesnt matter anymore when your being hit by stuff that ignores armor or takes away adrenaline or interupts healing signet and casts several degens on you all at once while it takes away your energy.

well the first place I found that was half way decent for farming minor and maj runes are those damn yetis in the bluffs. i had a lvl11 a/w and could solo all the yetis outside and inside of the caves. as we all know at the start of factions runes for assasins and rits were hard to come by. so when i seen the yetis that range from lvl 13-17 i thought about how the ettins outside of beetletun are only lvl 15 and they drop golds. wasn't sure if i'd get any golds (which i haven't btw) but i knew i could come across some minor runes at least. and i did...which i sold to peeps in town for at least 1k each and up.i know its not the max drops people are looking for but until the rune traders are fully in stock with the new class runes this is a start. if anybody gets any golds there let me know.

Most of the "true" farmers out there have been farming endlessly. Moving place to place. Swapping builds, professions, skills and attributes. You my friend farmed a lousy 2 hours. Do your homework first. When you have some knowledge to share with other farmers perhaps we'll have something to share with you.

You don't want to spend countless hours to find a spot. I suppose we should all drop what we are doing and find that spot for you instead?

Hmm....last time I checked theres a whole BUILDS SECTION where people SHARE there builds. Since when was it a crime to use someone elses build? If they post it on here, its sharing. Im not beating the crap outta people to find out there build, Im asking if there gonna share it.

Ok guys, drop everything and tell me your buildz lolz!!!1111oneoneshiftplus1

Honestly, I work for things. But Im not gonna spend like 8 hours looking for a place to farm on GW. Other people are willing to spend there time to share with others. You obviously have no clue what that is.

You gonna go rant there, too?

Some people have lives. I find two hours searching is a reasonable amount of time given to finding a place to farm. He's asking for help so if you don't have it why do you post? Just because you and other people like to search for farming places doesn't mean everyone else likes spending "Endless" hours searching. If you have something helpful to add to this post then reply. Otherwise, don't bother. It proves you haven't seen the sun today since not only do you have endless hours trying to find new farming spots, but you also reply to posts just to argue with someone seeking help.

I havent made it through the game yet with my warrior however I have been using my necro and found several places that are very applicable. The riposte build is still a great build and can take alot of enemies as there are groups of melees all over the area however the time to money ratio seems to be steep. Also as far as farming builds being targeted toward one type of enemy that is not so true a warrior can solo greneths which is very fun and challenging.
However there was an assassin boss that alot of people have been trying to get the daggers from so I decided to give him a try what I found was killing him 10 times alone only netted me 2 drops 46 gold, and a plague idol. The worst enemy I have seen is gonna be the mesmers use cryof frustration and diversion which will kill a stance warrior relying on healing signet.

Dont try to say run mending as I will never equip that noob skill on a warrior and waste the points in healing. Even soloing thirsty I dont waste my time using mending. Dolyaks and balthazars however!!
