Why farm minotaurs? - Guild Wars Forums

I've noticed that a lot of people talk about farming minotaurs. What is so great about them. I solo hydras, and that works great for me.

To each his/her own...

Farming minotaurs? Well they're dumb, easy to kill, and they used to drop reasonable amounts of gold for the time you put in.

Teutonic Paladin · Jun 08, 2006, 07:40 PM // 19:40

That's damn purdy right there

Mournblade · Jun 08, 2006, 08:18 PM // 20:18

It's fundamentaly satisfying to see 12-16 large opponents all drop dead at the same time. Trolls/Mino's for the psychological win!

Numa Pompilius · Jun 08, 2006, 09:15 PM // 21:15

And it gives shi... boatloads of experience points.

Opeth11 · Jun 08, 2006, 09:18 PM // 21:18

400 gold per run. 2 minutes per run.

12k an hour, provided that the anti-farm code doesn't kick in.

Decent gold? More or less.

Actually, only expect to make 10k an hour from this if you must try >_>

Dr Strangelove · Jun 08, 2006, 09:35 PM // 21:35

What in the name of god did you just do there Aki? That's an absolutely awesome screenshot, don't think I've ever seen so many big number pop up.

Looks kinda like ss on steroids. I see some fiery junk, so I'm guessing a N/E of some sort using some sort of fire AoE nuke. Maybe Feast of corruption, reckless haste, and PBAoE fire nukes?

Tidus the one · Jun 09, 2006, 02:05 AM // 02:05

I think that's an elementalist in the picture

mattjenkins · Jun 09, 2006, 03:28 AM // 03:28

How can you guys not tell that that is an ele in that screen? Notice the back of the pyromancer armor, the fire around it and the +4 energy. Any sane necromancer on a farm would have more than 4 soul reaping. Also, how do you expect to get off FoC along with a few fire nukes in the amount of time to retain those numbers? Seriously people, think a little. Maybe once you get to using your brain, which some of you may not have, you might think of these things before someone else needs to point them out to you.

Read please, many people said elementalist, and your post was not needed, and was very disrepectful.

For me, just the pure joy of seeing them all fall dead
