Farming insane ammounts birthday cupcakes? - Guild Wars Forums

oscarmk · May 04, 2011, 07:44 PM // 19:44

Is there some secret place to farm them I don't know about?. I just don't get it how people can get over a stack in just a few days. Yesterday in Kamadan there was someone selling ONE-HUNDRED-AND-FIFTY Stacks, How is that even possible?. Are this people farming this secret place 8 hours per day, or are this people botting 24/7?.

Personally I have only found 12 birthday cupcakes (not stacks) playing casually.

Vaettirs, Raptors........

That guy you saw was most likely a powertrader btw...

They just farm for hours, could be that some are botting(but if u don't know sure then u better don't accuse people of it).
Ah well, guild wars

I think that was probably it, as I don't think even 24/7 farming can get you that much.

Botting. Farming on multiple accounts 24/7 is a lot more productive than doing it manually.

Botting.
Power-trading.
24/7 raptors/vaettir.

Being honest and not botting, farming feathers yields a fair rate of cupcakes plus feathers! But it would still take days of hard work to get a stack or two of cupcakes. At least you could sell the feathers.

I could get a stack of cupcakes in about 2.5-3 hours (I am probably slow). These people who are selling huge quantities usually spend the majority of the event buying everyone's scraps (1 here 10 there etc...) and pile them up. Then they wait until the price goes up and sell them for a profit by the stack

me too. I only got like 50 so far playing casually. The other day I was farming for Nick and doing the whole thing like in about an hour. Only 10 cupcakes dropped on me.

Schnellburg · May 05, 2011, 03:36 AM // 03:36

Did noone think that maybe they have had them since last year? It's not hard to buy them for 12-13e a stack, and sell for 14-15e.

Haggis of Doom · May 05, 2011, 03:49 AM // 03:49

^They would'a sold when the price was 20e+, if profit was their goal

Casually farming HM Vaettirs usually gets me from 3-10 cupcakes per run(60 kills), and each run is about 3-4 mins. This link will give you more information on HM Vaettir farming, IMO it's wayyyy better that raptor farming too

Snowmen with right build and doing first 2 waves takes around 1 min and can give 0 - 3 cupcakes a run ( best tho was 6 in 1 run ) - so its easily possible in 60 - 90 mins max easily get around a stack. ( mentioned as raptors and vetires already said ).
Some reason eotn seems to be the best place to get any cupcakes drop - sent sin to nf to farm nicks item - must have done over 10 runs ( yes its small number ) and tbh the amount of cupcakes that i got was shocking - 5.The amount of kills must have totaled over 200 easily yet if i did vaetires/raptors/snowmen i could get that amount in a fraction of the time and maybe 3 runs only.
So its easy enough to see the person selling was either power trader or a serious farmer of the 3 farms ( are others around but no idea on comparison ).
Easter with bad hand and very relaxed farming ( totaled maybe 8 hrs max over the weekend ) i had easily a stack of eggs and bunnies thru very little effort - if hand was gd i could have been doing 8hrs solid a day and probably have 10+ stacks of both.
Another possibility is the person was acting as a wholeseller for his guild/alliance - ive sold 150 consets before which only 50 were mine and rest were several guildies.
