FA or ORO Farm? - Guild Wars Forums

Unseen Tyrant · Mar 17, 2006, 02:43 AM // 02:43

Which one, FA or ORO has better bosses in them that drop better green items, or do they both have random generared bosses?

.killjoy · Mar 17, 2006, 02:46 AM // 02:46

Its really a personal prefrence i find oro to be alot easier since no hexes and more bosses, also FA always has rago so u can hope that u get one of his good weapons. but other than that do what you like best

I prefer FA..Just because you get Malion...<3 his shield. Plus you get Tanzit...(which you get in ORO also)...But, hey, its your choice..

Savio · Mar 17, 2006, 04:00 AM // 04:00

You get Malinon in Orozar too, although there's only an 80% chance he'll show up during the quest parts. Some bosses always appear during certain quests, you could look up on Guildwiki which ones you want to go after.

About the farming, Orozar and FA are so nerfed that they weren't worth farming months ago, let alone now.

Green market has REALLY gone downhill. But more people just do ORO because they don't want to do the quests to get FA. Preference really.

Solberg the Exiled · Mar 17, 2006, 04:46 AM // 04:46

Truly it's a preference... I also find a FA runs seems to take a shorter amount of time than orozar runs, which is why I prefer FA a bit more. Although orozar quest will spawn more bosses than FA quest, with highend bosses like bortak only spawning in orozar. Orozar also will definitely spawn tanzit / brohn / drago / and vilnar, which is not a bad set of bosses. But still...I like FA simply because it's shorter...

I've done both runs about 100 times (literally), so I feel pretty well qualified to answer this.

Well, yes it's preference. Just do both and find your comfort level. Really, it's about getting a good team together, rather than which farm run you do.

Anyways, FA is about 1/3 the run time of Oro, and gives you 3 pairs of bosses. The first pair is a fighter pair, of which could be Malinon, Grognar, or Tanzit. The second pair is a mes/monk pair. The mes are either Handsmasher or Willcrusher. The monk is either Ivor or Stonesoul. The last pair is always Rago and either Galigord or Runar.

The differences are these: you can only get Ivor, Stonesoul, Grognar, and Runar in FA. You can only get Boulderbeard, Villnar, Brohn, or Drago doing Oro. Not sure about how the mes bosses work out because I don't care and don't want. So depending on which bosses you want, you may choose your path.

edit: the guy who said both runs are severely nerfed is 100% wrong. I still farm and rake in the greens (I know this is silly but I have about 1350 plats and one of every green in the game (including Tombs and Kepkhet's)), and there is no nerfing. I do like to reset anti-farm which goes for everywhere you farm. Perhaps this person very poorly chose his words and meant to say that the prices have gone way down...in which case yes they have, as these greens have been extensively farmed.

FA, run in to the right past the giants as and take Razorstone and Malinon who sometimes spawn together as they patrol...only takes 5-10 mins with 5 man then rinse and repeat

Jas D · Mar 17, 2006, 09:15 AM // 09:15

I personally perfer regular Sorrows Furnace farming. It gives a lot more bosses, and a different variety. Other than that, I like FA, it doesn't last as long as oro.. oro is annoying to me now.

UnreaL Pero · Mar 17, 2006, 02:44 PM // 14:44

FA rulz!

ORO is boring because small number of enemyes!!

boxterduke · Mar 17, 2006, 02:58 PM // 14:58

I would have to say none of them
SF is soooooo overfarmed that its a waste of time if you are trying to get greens to sell.
On top of that greens are hard to sell now, you'll end up giving away 90% of them.;

Battle Torn · Mar 17, 2006, 04:02 PM // 16:02

True thats why FA rules..Malinons and Razorstone together

Manic Smile · Mar 18, 2006, 05:41 AM // 05:41

with 80% of the time neither drop a thing

fiery · Mar 18, 2006, 03:32 PM // 15:32

Ya 5 of us guildies did a 5 man run in OROZOR killed all bosses and no greens. Best drop was my sup fast casting rune which i sold for 34 gold.
