Riverside owns this form of farming... or it used to. I was finding 8 sup runes a day. Now that sup vigors and absorbs are down, I started trading. EDIT: 8 gold salvage armors... heh, but usually those turn into sup runes.

Tks DaRhino.....that's where I found a couple a few days ago but not sure if they're "THE" ones referred to.

Divinity Coast has not been nerfed yet due to patch! I repeat, Divinity Coast is still farmable!

Ketendra · Jun 30, 2005, 12:54 AM // 00:54

LOL, try telling that to the people that are there complaining that it was nerfed. I went there after the patch as a test run and first thing I saw was everyone complaining that it was nerfed, so I ran out to the barrel. First try got 1 white, 1 blue, and 1 purple item. A pretty normal drop.

StrykerMikado · Jun 30, 2005, 12:55 AM // 00:55

Well I got 1blue, 2 purple and 2 white in 4 runs. Its still better then alot of chest.

Adding to the topic....

What person shares with the public their secret hunting spot with anyone other than their Guild, Friends, & Family????

DaRhino · Jun 30, 2005, 01:20 AM // 01:20

People who aren't totally selfish.

Tworld2224 · Jun 30, 2005, 01:32 AM // 01:32

Or people who don't like to farm. Anyways, has anyone noticed if DC has less drops now from the chest? I personally got complete shit the couple times I ran it after the updates.

Fye Duron · Jun 30, 2005, 01:34 AM // 01:34

Right on!!!

Nope - I only did 3 runs to test it out, I didnt get any gold drops (which isnt unusuall in only 3 runs) but got 4 purple and 2 blues total (and a 4 whites)

DaRhino · Jun 30, 2005, 01:57 AM // 01:57

Yeah, the drops don't seem to have been affected much, if any at all. I'm gonna continue farming there, and I encourage you too also =P.

katri · Jun 30, 2005, 03:52 AM // 03:52

Well, sorry to say it's been nerfed reguardless of what people are saying.

I did 30 runs throughout the day on several different characters, 0 purples and 0 gold.

bee65n · Jun 30, 2005, 04:24 AM // 04:24

It seems all forms of chest farming has been nerfed. I had a secret spot where i got low dmg 1-2 gold weapons per run (avg 1 probably). I tried doing it after the patch, and i get purple weapons fine, however, I got absolutely no gold weapons. Bye bye, my source of income.

StrykerMikado · Jun 30, 2005, 04:32 AM // 04:32

To the people that keep private messaging me for divinity coast, be smart and look through this thread before you ask me.

kirkmping · Jun 30, 2005, 04:32 AM // 04:32

ah sorry bout that

ICURADik · Jun 30, 2005, 05:41 AM // 05:41

With PvP unlocking it is no longer necessary for me to farm.

Borealis · Jun 30, 2005, 05:53 AM // 05:53

I dunno what anyone else says but far as I'm concerned yet again they nerfed this too. I'm really getting sick of it too, paranoid or not I enjoy farming.

Why is anet so set on nerfing everything fun about farming? It's something to kill some time with when I don't have time for missions, just pop on for a bit and farm. I don't even sell most of the stuff I get, if I do its usually to a merchant b/c it's too much of a pain in the @ss to sit in Lions Arch for 2 hours spamming the trade channel, then deal with hagglers when you do find someone to buy something.

Not even worth trying anymore.

Experiment_Jon · Jun 30, 2005, 06:19 AM // 06:19

Yup...i hate those lions arch people...50x more spammy than Ascalon. 50x worse than Ascalon with an idiot in it. IDK...chest farming seems sort of wimpy now. Check this screenshot. This is the mans way to farm:

BTW, this is a friend of mine. I am not ub3r enough to farm like him. So don't bother him with your praise.
