No point in undead hordes you don't get drops for soloing it or anything now so take it off the list. A-net must have nerfed it.

Cantha
Quest: Darkness at Kaitan
Panjiang Peninsula
Purpose: Lots of Nagas spamming at the beginning of the quest and after that Lesser Grasps in the Cave. Lesser Grasps drop Chorium Shards and Nagas drop rare materials, like Monstrous Fangs, and Sunqua Blades and lots of other goldies.

Darkness at Kaitan is the last Festival Quest obtained from Imperial Guard Hanso

I'm not going to put this in because the festival is already over, and we don't know for sure if that quest will be back next year.

Thanks anyways AscalonWarrior!

If it's anything like the wintersday quests they don't disappear after the event. You can still do them just not get the reward (which is the whole point).

Default Sorrows

Not sure fi this belows in here but it's a decent farm run. Depending on the run you can easily net 1-2 greens as well as gold drops, chests and typically 1-2k.

Tyria
Sorrows Furnace (various quests as well as questless)
Mats, gold, chests, and of course greens.

To the two above posters: both those quests are completely repeatable. No need to put it in this list.

Area: GWEN
Quest: The Path to Revelations
For: Smashing 6 bosses for Norn points.
What to do: grab the norn hunt and proceed with the quest normally.
Warning: After you get rank 8 Norn, you can no longer get hunts in NM.
Tip: There are some pop-ups around the area where the quest marker is, if you are a few short of the getting a multiple of 25 kills, try killing them after you get the first boss to spawn in hopes of getting a boss hunt or something like that.

Default Umbral Grotto

Just a note here about GW:EN if you go to the scrying pool in the Hall of Monuments you can reset many GW:EN quests so that you may farm them repeatedly.Simply choose "I Seek Guidance" and enjoy having your quests back!

Umbral Grotto(Koris Deeprunner you will need 4 map pieces,but once you have them they are never needed again.Leave town to reactivate this repeatedly)

Quest:Secret Lair of the Snowmen

For: Dwarf Points and Chest of Wintersday Past which drops a Snowman Summoner(two in hard mode) (counts for 1 points towards the Party Animal) plus one of the following:
Eggnog-Lvl 1 Intoxicant
Fruitcake-Counts 1 point towards Sweet Tooth
Peppermint Candy Cane-Counts 2 point towards Sweet Tooth and removes all Death Penalty
Rainbow Candy Cane-Counts 1 point towards Sweet Tooth and gives 5% Morale Boost
Spiked Eggnog-Lvl 5 Intoxicant
Wintergreen Candy Cane-Counts 1 point towards Sweet Tooth and removes 15% of your Death Penalty
Yuletide Tonic-Counts for 2 points towards the Party Animal Title(turns you into an elf,leave town to end effect)

Those are GUARENTEED drops from chest plus you have a boss Freezie for drops and generally 4-5 locked chests(need lockpicks)

Tip:Spam AoE Fire Attacks mops this place up fast average 1.2k dwarf points per run easy to do in 10 minutes or less.This to me is cheapest,easiest way to farm for Drunkard,Sweet Tooth,Party Animal ,Lucky,and Unlucky titles plus candy canes are good way to have cheap "Anti Death Penalty" items

You don't need to keep the quest, it's a repeatable dungeon.

This is an awful way to get any of those titles...

Drunkard, Sweet Tooth and Party Animal are much easier to max out by just waiting until some event comes around...If you got 8 points every run, (2xSnowman summoner + 2xYuletide Tonic) it would take you 1,250 runs to max it, and you won't get 8 points every run...And Lucky/Unlucky are best for 9rings or chest running...

Well I did a little looking into"Wait for a festival" You get 4 main festivals a year at moment.New Years,July 4th,Halloween,Christmas.If you stop and look at the spread of MONTHS in between those chances are I can knock out the titles way before the festival arrives.Now you also get 3 "mini festivals"(for lack of a better description)St Patricks Day,Easter,Thanksgiving.That's 7 times you get a decent attempt at titles.Now figure 7 times in 52 weeks.Or into 12months.Basically January then wait till March/April hold off till July wait for October then November then December.Now call me crazy but January to March is quite the spread there(January 1st till March 17th).You'll pop Easter very close(End of March up to 2 weeks into April).From there July 4th is your next hit.Now so far we have waited roughly 4 months.Then you advise waiting 3 more months(Halloween is Oct 31st so actually a little more) before we get the "Big Blow Out"(a festival about every 30 days Halloween,Thanksgiving,Christmas,restart year with New Years).You can do the math it's simple.You will spend 7 months waiting for a festival or you can spend 7 months farming them titles.

Correction; You can spend 7 months farming titles (and probably still not max any of them) or you can spend 7 months doing something profitable, and not a total waste of time. Then when the event comes around, you could farm your ass off (I know lots of people who farm stacks of whatever before the event ends) and then buy more sweets/partypoints/ale from players with the massive amounts of money you've farmed over the last 7 months + the other drops you just got from your massive farmings of event items. For lucky/unlucky, if you don't want to wait for Canthan New Year (for 9 rings), you'd still be better off chest running easy chests with lockpicks. For lucky, leave out of Ascalon City (or somewhere just as easy) in NM, and go find a nearby chest, and open it, and probably retain your lockpick with your huge retain chance. Grats! Lucky points! With your snowman run, not only get few chests, that are much farther apart then chest running, but you have an awful retain chance. For unlucky, it's really the same thing just with hard chests near towns. And you can do this when festival events arn't around.

Now, use your hard earned moneys to go buy ales/sweets/partypoints! Grats! Titles!!

Also, this thread was about quests best kept for farming. Since the snowman quest is repeatable (you don't even need the scrying pool to repeat it), your entire point is moot.
