Default Quests: A Listing Of Those Best Kept For Farming

This thread will be devoted to a list of quests that can/should be kept for the benefits of using them later for farming. Any quests that are usually a good idea to not finish/complete for the sole purpose of farming can be submitted here. This idea was inspired by Francis Crawford.

- I will only accept the following kind of style, as remaking any other would take a bit more time, and I don't want to spend all of my time updating this thread. I will update this thread with new submissions.

-The origins of the quests are simply divided by Campaign. Dividing them up anymore would be an immense amount of work and create a gigantic thread.

-If you see something on here that you want to know more about, a great place to find information would be GuildWiki (http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Main_Page) for Quest, Area, or what exactly people are talking about on this thread.

- And once again, I cannot stress enough the fact that I want people submitting how I have written below. If you don't it creates more work for me, which slows the process of me updating the thread.
----------------------------------------
Submissions:

All submissions should look something like this:

Origin of Quest (Tyria, Cantha, Elona):

Quest Name:

Explorable Area Name where quest is done (or multiple areas):

Purpose:

For Example:


Tyria.
Quest:The Last Pig.
Where:North Kryta.
Purpose: Allows you to farm ettins for runes.

USE THIS ABOVE EXAMPLE FOR ALL QUESTS YOU SUBMIT. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO CHANGE THEM IF YOUR THE ONE NOT FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS!!!!!

Been a while since I farmed either of these. I haven't tried them in HM, but I'm pretty sure they are doable.

Elona
Drakes on a Plain
The Floodplain of Mahnkelon
Farming drakes for gold, items, materials

Tyria
Reversing the Skales
Scoundrel's Rise
Mats and gold I think...

Edit: I can't believe Undead Hordes isn't up yet. Do people still farm it or what?
Tyria
Undead Hordes
Watchtower Coast
Gold Sephis Axes

I said it before and i'll say it again.

ALL QUESTS should be kept, you never know what might suddenly become a great farming spot for your farming chars...

Course its feasible. Like how i recently found out that the first Halycon quest is actually an awesome spot for farming rare skin daggers and lots of other golds. Sadly i completed that quest on ALL my chars because it was easy faction. Its not helped by the fact my Mes, Nec and Monk are the only PvE chars on my second account, Nec and Monk been the 2 best farming professions.
Had i realised that it would've been best to save quests, no matter what they were, for farming i would still have them available today for mass unid farming.
