All nice builds! but I've been a bit busy recently. It would be a big help if all of you could organize your thoughts into a workable run and build. I'll do what i can though. Help is appreciated.

Well this is a farmily build i used to use...55 monks can use it as well as warriors. STart from beettlton in Kryta and go portal to the potal that takes you to North Kryta ProV? its the one with ascalon settlement...and then talk to the farmer and start the pig quest (warning: u cant do this quest if u have already done that one) Then once you have the quest go down where it points u and click the pig...then go back to the portal and u will see 4 or 5 groups of trolls comming for u wait for them all to attack you and then put on SOJ and there pretty much be down. (I use echo SOJ works well) Then just portal out after u kill them then back in click the pig and u can do it all over again. You only need to go to Beetleton once every 5 or 6 runs to sell stuff ect. These mostly drop RUNES. I average around 3 golds and 4 purples for every eh 5-5-7 runs and sometimes more or less.

==============================================

Another run is the ice caves outside of Droks Forge. Once you get it you take a left and u should see a gang of avacara, try to run past them and head for a ice cave, you should see 3 trolls at the start and then run past them towrds a large group of around 7 or so...once all are aggroed put on SOJ and waste away...suitable drops i havnt got thhhhat good of stuff...

those are ettins (same ettins rune farming) and that is why u get alot of those runes.
yes it is not a reaptable quest, but you can allways do an ettin runes run,see:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=119886

and here is the one for the quest:
http://www.guildwiki.org/wiki/The_Last_Hog

now i have to say something in the name of good spirit.
it pains me to see that this thred has been up for like 2-3 days i think and got like 2323 hits as i write this, and the "important posts" got like 930 hits.
kaze0099 did a great job and put all the good ones in one post (most of waht ppl write here is allready there....).
its even easier from the all scary "search" function.
take a look. it wont bite, to hard.

Can also farm Iron Mines up to the seer or before the azures if you don't like them. Giants/Trolls/Griffons all on the way.

Hm.. you got me on the pig quest troll farming (never thought of that).

I'll be adding a few of these runs shortly.

As for all of the common runs that everyone knows about, I would like to say "search button" or Kaze's thread.

However, I'll also post a few useful runs that arn't regularly done (but are still popular) just to help out the community so everyone doesn't have to go running around the forums looking for them.

As of right now (offtopic), I have to write up a persuasive speech on why PC's are better than Mac's. I'll update as soon as possible.

--edit--
I'm also shocked at how many unique hits this post has gotten in the past few days

I've been messing with the Imps outside of Ice Caves as well. I find this seems to work well too.

Mo/Me

Inspiration 6
Healing 13
Smiting 16
Protection 7
Divine 7

Protective Spirit
Breeze
Shield of Judgement
Zealots Fire
Mantra of Resolve
Essence Bond
Mending
Balthazars Spirit

I find I can take about 5 or 6 Imps at a time. Just keep Mantra of Resolve up and watch for the drop in energy everytime you cast in a Malestrom thing. Its probably beneficial to stay in the Malestrom thingies as you'll be getting 2 energy every hit. So you'll find energy isn't a problem. Most of the time Zealots will be useless, however if you get one Imp on its own it makes it a hell of a lot quicker so I choose to bring it. I also run out and take out the Ice Golems in the frozen river thingie, theres more Imps further north. Probably wise to bring some keys too, I saw three chests on one run.

Also if you just let yourself die and throw on a major rune, it become rediculously easy to take on more Imps if you like.

Financially I don't think its worth it. I did a run taking out a fair few Golems and Imps, probably 20minutes and got 3K off it after selling everything. Best drop I got was a Silver Dye BTW, however I only did one run.

EDIT: I did forget to mention many thanks to Ubermancer, this is pretty much his Titan Farming build modified slightly by myself.

from the op

1. Remmeh's life started at 8hp. (you dont need to get 8 hp. just lower your hp!. get the -20 offhand from presear (poor tenant quest) or any other -20 offhand. equip. die once or just use your -50 offhand (for 55 hp) if you dont have one.

Does this mean that he wouldn't really need to use mending? because breeze covers the health regen? i've just had an initial go on ice imps with the build suggested, but took along blessed aura as i've been told it's enchant stacks with my kepkets staff. However, it didn't seem to from what i noticed, and in losing blessed sig i'm concerned about energy

oh and i've been dying really quick too, resolve's up as is prot spirit, don't know whether i've aggro'd too many. there's a patrol of ice imps comes to the bridge outside of ice caves, i never last more than 30 seconds, i find that i can't walk back once i've been tagged, perhaps i'm aggroing badly, i step forward enough to get a shot off, but i'm slowed down as soon as i've done it and i've tried to retreat. also they seem to follow, but the video is showing ice imps not following, not sure how that works any advice?

Another might be that I cant seem to solve the interrupt problem well.
That's why I much prefer roming the shiver peaks with matra of resolve. (I use around 9 inspiration magic) Energy management may become a problem so you may have to carry energy tap for extra energy ... Also beware of Maelstrom it's a killer! If you die to quickly that's probably why... The best is to keep moving constantly, but i've found that a war/mes with elemental resistance works a lot better since they stop to interupt when in close range.

This kind of build also make farming trolls a lot faster (prevents the oh! so ever anoying disrupting chops and i like to carry arcane echo for SoJ). You may even want to add avaticans to your list. just avoid the necros (avantican guile) as they will use shatter enchantments. However because they can only remove 1 enchantment at a time, I beleive it's possible to survive them if ps is NOT the last enchantment casted. For instance protective spirit (ps) followed by healing breaze (hb), hb would be remove leaving ps on. It's very hard and I haven't quite got it to work as they cast shatter just as I'm casting hb . I got tons of gold runes from these guys.
