Material Farming

One thing i feel the forum is missing is a Materials Farming Thread, i.e a thread where the best locations to farm various materials (as opposed to best gross gold per hour)


If there is Several Spots where an item can be Farmed Quickly, i will place both, the fastest method with Material/rate/location/build/notes in Bold


I'll Start it off:

Solo Builds

Material: Chitin Fragments
Rate: ??? Estimated 1500 an hour
Location: Fissure of Woe
Build: Racthoth's FoW Spider Farming Build
Notes: Superior Salvage the legs, 20 coins per salvage for 19 Fragments? Sounds like a deal to Me! (Thanks Teutonic Paladin)


Material:Scales
Rate: Approximatly 250-300 Per Hour (based on 7 Runs taking 8 Mins Each)
Location: North Of Senjis Corner
Build: Here
Notes: Scales are obtained by salvaging Vermin Hides with a Basic Salvage Kit

Material: Tanned Hide/Fur squares
Rate: rather high :P
Location: Arborstone (exit out of altrumm ruins)
Build: Ritualist Vengeful Build
Notes: The wardens here drop tanned hide by the piles (no need for salvage) as well as fur squares, see stonereaper farming video for how to take them down. (Thanks Dahnel)

Material: Planks of Wood
Rate: Unknown
Location: Northwest of Droknar's Forge
Build: Any viable Melee Farming Build
Notes: Trolls drop loads of whites that give 10+ wood or Iron per salvage (Thanks Teutonic Paladin)

Notes: Trolls drop loads of whites that give 10+ wood or Iron per salvage (Thanks Teutonic Paladin)

Material: Bolts of Cloth
Rate: Good rate of cloth,
Location: Exit from Market to Wajjun Bazaar
Build: 55 Monk with Resolve
Notes: Head right and kill the Jade army there. Basic salvage their garb + their cloth drops will yield a good amount of clothes. They will occasionally drop silk. And ignore the rits. (Thanks StellarAshes )


Team Builds

don't forget the 1k fee to enter ... Making it cheaper to but from a marieal trader ?

Chitin Fragments cost 190g For 10, so if you want 150 thats 3K, from the amount of Legs gained in a run (dozens) its a very viable material gainer, added to main post

Not to mention the shards... and rubies, and sapphires, and Chaos Axes, and Shadow Blade...

Material: Planks of Wood/Iron Ingots
Rate: Unknown
Location: Northwest of Droknar's Forge
Build: Any viable Melee Farming Build
Notes: Trolls drop loads of whites that give 10+ wood or Iron per salvage

Material: Tanned Hide/Fur squares
Rate: rather high :P
Location: Arborstone (exit out of altrumm ruins)
Build: Ritualist Vengeful Build
Notes: The wardens here drop tanned hide by the piles (no need for salvage) as well as fur squares, see stonereaper farming video for how to take them down.

Minotaur hides expert salvage into leather at a so-so rate. But at 41 cost or opportunity cost per hide, and only two tanned hide squares from the failed salvage, it's not something to focus on unless leather spikes up in price again.

Also, Arborstone warden vestments give a fair amount of silk, and some linen.

Material: Bolts of Cloth/Silk
Rate: Good rate of cloth, Silk is a bit low
Location: Exit from Market to Wajjun Bazaar
Build: 55 Monk with Resolve
Notes: Head right and kill the Jade army there. Basic salvage their garb + their cloth drops will yield a good amount of clothes. They will occasionally drop silk. And ignore the rits.

Material: Piles of Glittering Dust
Rate: High
Location: Outside Seeker's Passage
Build: Ritualist Vengeful Build
Notes: Shriveled Eye drops from the Storm Kin salvages into 4-5 Piles of Dust each, which can accumulate quickly. I can normally get an average of at least 20 eyes a run.



Thank you Dahnel....I love my Ritualist even more than ever now.

Material: Plant Fibers
Rate: High
Location: Outside Saint Anjeka's Shrine (Drazach Thicket)
Build: 55-SoJ or SB-SoJ
Notes: Requires the "A New Escort" quest from Brauer Academy. Salvage Bramble bows, Dragon Roots for fibers.

Material: Bolts of Cloth
Rate: Very High
Location: Outside of Bergen Hot Springs (Nebo Terrace)
Build: 55 SoJ
Notes: Salvage the SEVERAL Decayed Orr Emblems for 3 cloth each, they add up very quickly. Also a fair amount of Decayed Orr Armor falls there as well yielding 4 Tanned Hide Squares via superior salvage.

Thanks for this - it's very helpful!

Like nearly everyone did in my forum, which I was forced to close down out of rising blood pressure...

Material: Tanned Hide/Fur squares
Rate: rather high :P
Location: Arborstone (exit out of altrumm ruins)
Build: Ritualist Vengeful Build
Notes: The wardens here drop tanned hide by the piles (no need for salvage) as well as fur squares, see stonereaper farming video for how to take them down.

THANKS TO DAHNEL FOR THIS INFORMATION!

Just so you all remember.

THANKS, DAHNEL, FOR THIS INFORMATION!

To Orestes's post I would like to add that a Mo/X or X/Mo with Judge's Insight, particularily a R/Mo JI Barrager, can farm up to around 1500 an hour.

Anyone got a good place to farm dust? I've been soloing the jade knights outside of the Marketplace, but it's kinda slow.

You can 55 the Gates of Kryta mission or just kill the Nightmares that are in Talmark Wilderness to get dust. 55-ing Gates gets you some rares and other stuff but Talmark is faster, you get about 20 dust each when it drops.

anyone got any ideas for bone? - only thing I have come up with are salvaging warden horns.

Material:
Bolts of Cloth, Linen (if you have a mesmer)
Bones, Tanned Hide (if you have a necro)
??? (other classes)
Rate: About 30 Cloth or 6 Linen in about 5 minutes
Location: Elona Reach
Build: 55 or Earth Armors + Fire PBAOE (use Lava Font)
Notes: Get Mino horns, exchange for gloves outside Augury and Salvage or Expert Salvage. Anti-farming code kicks in quickly, so only do this once a while.
