The curiousity is abuz again, and it's time to make more diagrams, so if you can post as much info on this topic, it helps my research.
"Where is your favorite zone to farm, and why?" -It doesn't have to be specific tactics or anything, but any info helps
"Who do you farm it with?" Aka Guildies, Friends, henchies, or solo.
And any other situational piece of information that might be directly linked to the above topics, feel free to post.
Your Favorite Zone For Farming

Favourite zone? Riverside Province mission. Prefered for money? Griffon Farming outside Augury Rock.
With whom? I do it alone.

Like many others I like to farm the Griffs and Minos outside Augury Rock solo with my modified W/Mo build. Only 2-3k a run, but once you get it down solidly you can get quite a lot of money over a relatively short period of time.

While we're at it..let's just post everywhere to farm so they can all get nerfed..*sigh*
D.E.V.i.A.N.C.E
If I tweaked my build and bought a few skills I could solo riverside once again...
need them gold armors...
seince faction is quite easy now; i think people unlocked runes dont really need riverside anymore tho.

I personally do not understand why people do not post their farming areas......farming builds maybe since you want to keep your strategy.....like people have said that Gates of Kryta got nerfed but yet i still get 1.5k-2k per run......i still think thats pretty good
AznPhate
Uw...
AlphaSt0rm
UW and FoW with not sucky pickupgroups. Really worth your time if your an Echo Nuker dealing most of the damage and getting good drops 
I got like 3 shards on one 20 min not complete FoW run and got an ecto on my first UW run.

i really love uw trapping in groups... Ive soloed it with my monk but its just not as much fun since one mistake and Pff your dead...
trapping is actually rather relaxing... gotta have a patient group and get to chat a lot during..

Heh, trapper groups charge too much to take you to get a spider >< I think it should be less than 10k a person to like 5 other people ><

UW, FoW, Mineral Springs with my warrior, alone.

Well i like going outside yaks bend to farm because I do it by myself I can be mobbed by dozens of enemies and fend them off pretty easily and collect all the loot
it's not the best as far as a cash cow but you can get about 1k within about 20-30 minutes plus all the junk you can sell afterwards I usually dump it off on the merchants because i don't need all those things cluttering up my inventory

I farm Ettins across North Kryta (Massacre's Rune Run) by myself when I'm bored.
Augury Griffons with one of my freinds, or alone if he's not on.
And I farm carrots and potatoes when- never mind.

I don't farm where I can't solo.
My first love is Skyward Reach- Hydras all the way! I get a lot of keys (which stack and are worth 225g apiece) and gold / purple items. And Dessicated Claws stack, plus they make good trophies. Closing in on the 400 mark.
I soloed Witman's Folly for a couple hours one day this week, but was unimpressed. For one thing, Azure Remains and Grawl neclaces are only worth 8 gold apiece (compared to 25 for desert stackables), and the drops pretty much sucked. The one advantage is that Grawl will drop armor (nobody in the desert does), so the chance of getting a superior rune are higher. In fact, the only gold drop I had was a superior hammer rune, and the unsalvaged armor was worth more than the rune itself. Blah.
Only the Drakes were nerfed in the Kryta mission. I still farm Undead there on occasion, and I've gotten a black dye and a 10/10 Sundering bow string from low-level undead in the past few weeks. And heck, you get about 20 Orr Emblems and 150+ bones per run, which add up quick.
What people miss about farming (I used to as well, but figured it out) is that an item's value is partly dependent upon who drops it. I ID everything. I maximize my money based on GPIS- gold per inventory slot. I've ID'ed white weapons with less than perfect damage to be worth close to and sometimes over 100 gold apiece. Had max damage ones be worth less than 60. Blue items sometimes ID as Precious, so that 13-21 bow can still be worth 160 gold. And I keep stackables, since 250*25 = 6250 gold in one inventory slot. Only have about 35 Elonian keys so far, but one day I'll have my 250. I pick up everything, and once my inventory is full, I ID everything I have. I start at 50 gold as my limit, and drop everything worth less than 50. Then as I fill up more, I drop everything less than 60. Then 70. At that point I return to town and sell the stuff to the merchant. Each run is worth a few thousand in just item sales alone. That doesn't count stackables, piles of gold, dyes, or rare items worth auctioning.

For lower lvl chars or non-warrior chars, I usually farm outside the Gates of Kryta mission. Plenty of mergoyles and quite often some nice drops. None of the weapons are max dmg of course, but I've salvaged some decent upgrades. You can make 1k in 30 mins pretty easily.
With my w/mo I usually farm the hydras outside Augary.

Ascalon, The Desert, Underworld and Fissure of Woe, Krytan, The Mountains, Jungle? and the Lava Island. I don't know proper names but I guess everyone know what places I mean.

I'm a Ranger/Ele and it's impossible for me to solo the griffs. So i prefer UW 'coz it's easy with 2 trappers.
But im making W/N to solo Griffs and he is level 10 now i'll change him to Mo and will farm Griffs...

I like Griffon/Minotaur farming outside Augury Rock. Some of my guildies can make 15k an hour there.
lyra_song
griffons are still popular i see... its about 1.5 k for 5-6 minutes of work with the occassional rare. Of course i dont do it more than 3-4 times a day because its SOOO boring.
I like farming Wurms and Losaru now...trying out different builds.
when i get LDD i plan to just farm it instead of beat it for those charr.

I'm very new to farming with my monk, i go outside Bergen Hot Springs to the undead and then through to the next area for more undead if i have space in my inventory, i go on my own their not too mcuh trouble.
Normally come back with 2-3k worth of stuff often just salvage for materials for my other characters and to sell, does mean though i don'tt ge weapons to sell on to other players really

Dead Lightning
I have been wondering, how does the profit of farming Griffons/Minotaurs compare with other farming places?
Fyre Brand
I like to hunt in Grenth's Footprint and Sorrow's Furnace. A small group of 4 to 5 can do pretty good there. Another nice thing is that you can take your friends or henchies with you and do good either way.
The money drop is pretty good, plus there is the possibility for the Green and occasional Gold. It doesn't pay off as good as UW/FoW but then again it's easy access, and you don't have to wait 20 minutes and spend 1plat to get there.

I farm at the usual spots with my warrior and monk, and farm Gypsie Ettins in North Kryta with my Necro. Simply create a army of about 5 or 6 lvl18 Bone fiends from the lower lvl mobs and send em in a group of ettins. A army of 5 fiends kill a ettin in 3 seconds easily.

i do sf exclusivly, i got like 15-16 greens so far and i love being rich

With my ranger I solo farm giants in the open areas of the desert, group I enjoy trapping the UW.
Young Hero
If you're looking for die[all colors] do Ruins of Sarmia.I have found that the Devourer's drop 1 to 2 bottles every run.Picked up at least 12-14 bottles of silver.

And I REALLY have to learn how to solo those hydras outside perdition rock,... for the hell of it and to learn a little more about illusion magic.
*edit: Currently, I'm enjoying the mountain trolls outside Droknars, but then, I enjoy variety too much to farm at any one place for more than an hour.
Former Ruling
Only place I have ever farmed is the lvl10 minos outside Ice tooth cave :\
I just havent TRYED the lvl20 minos in the desert yet, so I am not sure if my trapping would work.

Well, theres no use of farming the minotour ouside of ice tooth
Hooray Nuke
ettin farming with my solo ele build. luckiest i got was 4 superior monk runes in one run
super dooper
My favorite places are the Griffons/Minotaurs in Prophet's Path (though like someone else said I can only do a few runs before I get bored or something :P), the level 24 Charr in LDD, Aurora Glade mission (because I'm looking for a pesky Sickle that's higher than the 6-20 I have now), and I'm trying to work out a way to do Perdition Rock.
solo with my Warrior/x (secondary changes with the place most of the time).

I usually mo/wo farm the griffs/minos outside augry and make about 10-15k per hour. Some nice gold items but becoming less frequent drops.
I'm looking forward to trying the hydra outside ember light, tho meteor shower could see the end of that idea

Griphons by the ton, Augury Rock... [yeah I know...]
I'm trying out sand drakes but they're much harder to deal with...
W/N fighting a melee-only mob is the fastest killing machine I've evar witnessed.
[also has a great thrill factor when you come back from 1 hp to 500hp in one shout]

Ettin hides out in the Nebo area in Kryta(Beetletun), and the Sage lands outside of Druid's Overlook(Jungle).
Both done solo.
Low level farming for char hides outside of piken if needed.
