Default Post your favorite Farming spot for Special Event Weekends

With all the special events/item weekends coming up: Clovers/Ales, Birthday Cupcakes, Golden eggs and Chocolate Bunnies people could post some of their favorite spots to farm for these items. Does not have to be the BEST spot just a favorite spot.

Always enjoy hitting the Hydras with my 55 in Skyward Reach takes a nice lesiurely route.

Event farms i only do nm - hm has bonus items ( tomes etc ) which means the event drops can be less than nm, this is from my own exp and what others have seen as well.
Fav spots would be
1. Raptors
2. Gates of Kryta - you get orr embs as well
3. Caromi outside la along with fire imps
4. Snowmen

i would include vaetires but due high armor vs ele dmg the time taken by an ele or sin to sliver them its not worth it - keg bombing yeilds less drops ( bigtime lol ) as well as getting there makes it not really worth the hassle.
Id also say 5 would be Uw/Fow but in humour - gave up doing uw/fow on events with drops as id end up with 1 ecto and loads of event drops - rather have ectos :P
Pre is also good as theres a few places i recall that have a small concentration of foes that can be easily farmed - the wurms there can be farmed easily as i tried it last yr .

Keg Run is a little long, but if you stay there until you have full inventory of golds and other event items, you can easily yield 40k+ per run

So wrong. 2 minutes farm and u get like 5 golds+~10 event drops?
Basically you just zone in and zone out after each run.
I couldnt think of a quicker farm for both event items than this.
It is also really good for your wisdom title.

For the past couple of events I've been doing vaettir and it seems that after a while the gold drops just stop coming.

Quick question, for event items do you people do raptors in NM or HM?

HM only!!! Don't waste time on NM (unless you're looking for blue r8 max insc items)...

I like it, take a build that is challenging and risky (and FAST!) - like the following:
[build=OgVEMUyryHZM4OgKwOwDlLmKGBA]
[build=OQATEVKXRqrItQlpvIVcrIvYHEA]

Also, that charr invaders quest in Norrhart looks promising...

I'll be kegging all day everyday for the items =D

I did Raptors for Grogs on my Ele... 2-3 stacks in a few days drove me NUTS and no other money....

Kegging is the best farm for this imo

I think they are talking about this guy:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Budger_Blackpowder

Using his powderkegs to wipe out the Vaettirs.

Also used to max out survivor as outlined here:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10358074

@all remember does not have to be the BEST spot, could be your favorite spot, perhaps what you go to after you're bored with raptors. Hydras are nostolgic for me
