Personally, I thinking getting a run through CoF will probably be the easiest and most effortless way to get lockpicks.

SF will get buffed from 5...18 sec to 5...30 sec (May be off 1 or 2 seconds) In approximatly... 6-7 hours I think.

Check this thread out.

since Ragna posted it and Seth got me going in the right direction buildwise, i've been having some great success with that build.

me_mini · May 22, 2008, 07:06 PM // 19:06

For you http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:N/..._Refuge_Farmer

I'll be doing both glacial and raptor farm

oh looks like i need to hide, but how can i hide from melee attacks(raptors) and let ss hit, can u explain me?

Fuzzy Taco · May 22, 2008, 08:14 PM // 20:14

that build that Mr. Undisclosed posted is only for farming Zelnehlun + friends in Floodplain of Mahnkelon - you can't farm raptors with that. Zelnehlun is an excellent alternative to Raptor farming if you're sans PvE-only skills.

I have a question. Would you get more lockpicks in Nm or Hm when farming the rapters and by how much?

Here's a post I created awhile back showing what kind of drops I got in roughly 30 minutes of raptor running.Basically a minute a run.

Raptors if i feel like it, otherwise just my reg farm spots and hope for more keys ^^

I think lockpicks will drop most from raptors but even with the triple bonus weekend, I would think it would be no more than 1-2 picks every run so yea pretty mind numbing grind...

On a side note I also saw someone say they'll just do CoF, which usually does have a good amount of picks drop in a run. Are any of the runners planning on charging more for runs? or same prices, I wouldn't be surprised if I see more people increase the price of a run to 2.5k or maybe even 3k? I mean if everyone gets more lockpicks then the run is that much more beneficial? Not to mention the fact that each CoF run has anywhere from 7-10 chest allowing you to work on your unlucky/lucky title. Let me know what you all think.

Mr. Undisclosed · May 23, 2008, 05:59 AM // 05:59

Doubt CoF prices will rise, 2.5k wouldn't be considered going up since thats a pretty average price. I never go under 2.5 and always get a full group within 30 seconds or so.

If HM Nephila's is good enough then this works well

[whirling defense][dodge][winnowing][Troll Unguent]

if you've got it [dwarven stability] works well too but its far from essential

max'd expertise, take a sword (of defense) and a shield, no elite, easy to get skills makes this a winner IMO
TBH you can do it with just dodge and whirling, 2 skills on a bar HM farming? thats hardcore! ;o)

Sorry to ask a stupid question but I just got gwen, what map am I looking for to find the good rap spawns that everyone talks about. Thanks.

Riven Earth (from Rata Sum outpost).

Secret lair of the snowman would be the way to go, to receive picks on one hand, and to open chests on the other, 5 chests + ~100+ enemies every 10-15 mins is not too bad imo

SkateFreek · May 23, 2008, 12:58 PM // 12:58

Anyone know a Devrish skills mainly build for farming raptors? Or anything I can't seem to find one anywhere.

Kelly G · May 23, 2008, 08:07 PM // 20:07

I get alot of lockpick drops from farming HM Stone Eles outside Sardelac...you might try that as well.
