Yea, raptor runs in hard mode are very quick and the drops are pretty good. Takes me under 30 minutes to fill up my inventory with golds usually.

The raptors only drop a few types of gold items, and they don't drop too often in HM.

I suggest vaettirs, more variety.

5 months of Raptor farming and I am at 1300 Gold identify, when I started the run with my sin I only had 59, I don't farm raptors every day I did the math and I only farmed raptors for 5-6 weeks over the 5 months, just imagine if I did it every day.

Considering each run in HM (should) take 1-3min, that's a huge amount added up over time. I'm not sure why you'd be complaining. Just keep farming them over and over again. Very repetitive and mind numbing, but decent pay off if your drop rate is as good as you say it is.

Does anyone know the best farming spots in Factions?

Just using my rt (330hp or others) and have done vermin, luxon sins, minister chos estate, and a couple others (HM) but need to know the most profitable in your opinion out of anywhere in factions in hardmode or not.

thanks. (trying to save a thread being made and this could help others)

Depends what you're going for, atm I'm trying to get wisdom title up on my rit, so I do the Luxon sin's and ID all the Runes and Armours they drop me. For Items I tend to do Nahpui Quater (sp?) and stockpile tonnes of feathers and cele's. Rits can also do some form of Boss farming, by using ReZdogs technique and clearing the mobs with H/H and soloing the boss with Spirits, (waunderlust was elite IIRC)

Hope this helps in some way

[raptors] think of it like this:
If you get 7 golds in 10 runs (10 minutes) thats 5k
If you get 70 golds in 100 runs (100 minutes) thats 50k
If you get 700 golds in 1000 runs (1000 minutes) thats 500k
If you get 7000 golds in 10000 runs (10000 minutes) thats 5000k
And so on...
Although, I suggest you farm raptors on event weekends as it tends to give you alot more $$$. (due to prices on event items)

The nestlings still don't take that long (though it is more than 1 min).

Not if your good...

Should take around 1 min, I think my fastest was 58 seconds. The only thing I really hate about Raptor farming is when you have to re-run the cave because Shadow Form ran out and there are still 6+ drops out of the 20 that you picked up. Air of Superiority should solve that, then runs should consistently clock in at 1:05 secs.

Both of you are wrong

He is right.

One of my cycles (exit->run->kill->resign->exit) takes 57 seconds. Including picking up drops.
