Wow, 2-3k each time? I get a constant 1.2-1.5k and was happy with that, golds or not.

And they are desert griffons for the record, and I am still getting the same drops. Just takes about 30 seconds more since the change to Balthazars.

Rankyr, the fact they have been nerfed has been out for awhile. Well, few weeks. Oh, also if you notice, one of the tips that you get in game will say that monsters need time to restock up on items, so play maps "regularly" which I take is just farm different spots, come back to the same one every now and then.

man I swore I poisted a fix for this... FARM ELSE WHERE FOR LIKE 20 MIN; I DUNNO MAYBE OUTSIDE SERINITY SCANTUM, then go back and your drops should return...

I recently found out how to get almost all the griffens to fight you at once...
they usally only attacked 6 at a time, I got over 15 on me at once...

CAN YOU GUESS HOW?! course not, you cant think outside cookie cutter forum builds.

er i hope that was not directed at me, as i alternate between several locations. i also made up my own soloing build which took longer but did the job.

and even in doing that i am sure they are not as good. so poor in fact that i dont farm unless it is necessary i.e. to pay off a debt or buy something which is going cheap

You've got to be joking dude! 500g in an hour? You must be killing one griffon at a time with your bare fists to make such a small amount of gold in an hour. Gold items or no gold items, you can still make 20k in an hour easy.

Ok, 20k without spending time trying to sell of gold items.. I wanna see that. Then again, I can never farm for more than 30 mins, dying along the way just gets overly boring.

Well, depending on how good your farming build is, its really not that hard. I can make 20k in an hour because I aggro 15-20 monsters at one time. The old saying "Time is Money" applies here. Don't waste time selling gold items to people unless its really really good. If its a common gold item then I just sell it to the merchant and go back to farming.

I got 2 gold items, 6 purple and about 5 blues last night on one run. I haven't done it in a while and was bored. Sold all and made about 2.5k. So I would say you have been doing it too often whether you think you have or not.

admitedly, I haven't counted the amount of griffons/minotaurs that pile around me, normally aim for rounding most up or doing them in 2 groups. Maybe I should try for more than 15 mins though.. rather than getting bored, thanks for the advice
