Default What is the best farming spot in your opinion?

Hey everybody, this is probably a hard question to answer but i would like you to give it a try. What farming builds/ spots do you farm with to make your cash? So far Ive tried the E/A tombs farmer with little luck, and the E/A green farmer to success. In general though, I use a NM Mist Form troll farmer. Are any of these anywhere near the most successful? (I know that I only listed E/Any builds, but you guys name whatever works the best for you)

HM Core farming. It has been best so far.

Generally I would use just any build I think sounds good. TBH I just rape the hell out of the kurzick FFF. For heavy farming? Maybe 600/smite in UW or FOW. Otherwise, I dunno. maybe E/A for green farming.

In terms of simply pure cash gain, it's been the old school FoW team run. It's easy and all the quests are repeatable. But if you're talking about solo, then i'd suggest going hard mode and farming mino's outside of ice tooth or similar places. There are tons of "the best" spots out there. You just have to find what works best for you and meets your needs. Good luck with the hunt.

Thanks guys, these were the kind of answers I was looking for! If anyone else has some favorite spots of their own, I'd still love to hear them.

Bergen?! I sincerely regret going to that spot, a waste of time after its drops were nerfed. The basic quantity of drops has gone down in that area.

Best farming spot.... hmmmm.... Just do some random unpopular one with a 55 mo/n with SS and IP. Like Kinya Province in HM. A sin boss there you can take down with ease for an elite sin tome. Clear out all the mantids (take out monks first). Kappas with some time and then nagas. There are two lesser onis there too for Oni Blades etc. Thus a nice mix on tomes which include: monk, ele, sin, rit and necro.

I like this as no one would actually recommend this place as it isn't fast but I enjoy it anyhoo. Main reason ppl dont like it is that mantids are casters meaning u gotta group them.

THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH SHIELD OF JUDGEMENT. YOU CAN NOT KILL CRIMSON SKULL AND THUS CAN'T VANQUISH THE AREA SOLO.

@ far shooter

SV + necrosis is way faster in my experience, and you get better on drops imo

just watch the crimson skull rits that have wanderlust that can really screw you over

I assume you mean Destroyer Cores?
How would you farm those? I don't think Destroyers are solo-able... knockdowns, interrupts, enchant remover, massive damage..... and they don't have large enough mobs for Splinter Barrage.

Maybe Shadowform/Sliver ARmor with Shadow of Haste? That would take way too long tho...

I think he means core as in UW and FoW.
Terra Tank = smite farming in UW from what I remember

Destroyer Cores are farmable with an Elementalist, the first mob in Glint's Challenge . You use [skill]Glyph of Swiftness[/skill] with [skill]Obsidian Flesh[/skill] at 16 Earth Magic so it can be kept on you for as long as you need. Like that, the Enchantment removal problem's solved. For preventing damage, you use [skill]Stone Striker[/skill], which is also your Energy Management skill, [skill]Stoneflesh Aura[/skill], and [skill]Mantra of Earth[/skill]...

For damage, there's quite a few options... You can use [skill]Sliver Armor[/skill] along with other damage dealing spells, or you can use it with other PvE only skills.

Ether Nightmare+ Wandering eye--->[skill]Sliver Armor[/skill] Imo. Much faster and drops aren't any worse.
