Sand Giants dont really have that good drops. I tried farming them with my 55hp build monk. Got a couple of golds. Bad ones. Non-max damage...

Agreed. Posting a relatively unknown farming spot only contributes to its downfall and/or eventual removal .... If you know it, awesome, keep it. Don't post it on forums.

For those of you who don't have a good spot yet ... explore. To be very honest, it's how I find most of my profitable spots - mere solo exploration.

Giants were always good to me. Tho I mostly got hammers off of them, and little else.

I farmed IDS for awhile, until they got down to about 30k... and I got sick of running.

I think FOW chest runs are reasonable.. I haven't tried those in a party yet! Sounds like hilarious fun.

So yeah;
- griffons / minos / hydras (ie, desert genocide)
- grawl outside port sledge
- trolls outside droks (I don't even think that is worth it anymore unless u need wood planks)
- ettins, for runes
- ice imps in the far cave in mineral springs (IDS, W/Me or R/Me build.. etc)
- spiders in FOW (That funky W/X build that we all are so appreciative of)
- 2-man UW clearing
- titan farming

etc.. etc.. I am sure there are loads more. The best part is, hey! ANY class can farm! Lets stop with the nerfing

I'm bored of farming though at the moment, try pvp... finding a good item in HOH will make u rich forever

Wich of the ettins drop GOOD runes?[i think i heard something about sup vigor]the ettins at south siverpeak or at kryta?

North Kryta province,
Just this area.
i'm trying to dreadnought chests.... no success for the moment but i want to try this spot like i tried UW, griffon, Hydra, dead spot,massacre rune, ....

But i no need money just for the fun and make some presents to my friends :-)

If u want to test something i'm here, with my poor english, i like discover strange and new build. Pve is not for me but i want to play.

For those interested in sephis axes, go to Kryta, do the Grouik mission, don't remember the name of that one (doors of Kryta ???).

Take a trap ranger, pass the door, go to the left where the pig Grouik is, in front of you is a small house, pass the fence and go behind the house, there you have a small path, take it to the swamps and kill the undead over there.

Loads of sephis (one purple from time to time) and bones.

For those interested in rare axes like Tribal and sickles, go to ice tooth cave with a 55hp monk and solo the minos. Shame that the axes aren't max dmg.

Otherwise I like to kill the charrs in nolani's mission when you open the gates (always some vials) and also to kill the high level charrs in ascalon (titan quest).

Question: Where is the best place to find black dye?
Answer: Anywhere, dye drops are random. (someone mentioned earlier they drop more frequently in pre sear, but I assume the ration is still the same)

Question: Where do I get good drops?
Answer: Anywhere where you face high level monsters. The game guide (which is obviously outdated) has a table for damage and gold for items that drop from different level mosters. Obviously the higher the level the greater chance of getting a maximum damage weapon or a purple or gold weapon.

I don't really bother looking for good places to get drops because items take too long to sell to people (even if they are perfect it can take more than 20 minutes) I jsut go for pure cash drops which currently I am getting from Hydras outside Augury Rock. I use a build previously posted on this site, which means I can solo them with a W/Mo (not a huge achievemnet , I know).

Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Defy Pain
Dolyak Sig.
Vigorous Spirit

I believe runes make a big difference to a farmer. Currently I have major runes of Abs and Vigor which are easy enough to afford. Most high-end farmers have superior runes of vigour and absorbtion.

Here's the thing, see... If we start posting our farming spots, before we know it they will get slammed with the nerf bat because botters will move there en masse.

So, my advice to you is to do what everyone should do.

Go out on your own, with your own build, to your own areas. Find a place to farm. It's not that hard really. Keep in mind that even if the drops aren't all that great in a low-level area, if you can clear the area in 5 minutes and make 500-2,000 gold a run, it is better than making 10,000 gold on a run that takes 1-2 hours.

Try the Flame Corridor. Plenty of easy Charr there...
