Mmm ... chocolate frosted griffon wings. Nic better give something good in return or I'll eat all the wings myself!

I like the Shiverpeaks.

QQ about not being an easy solo farm now *grabs popcorn*

???

unless he was collecting raptor parts, I can't think of an area that was farmed more heavily in guild wars over the years than the griffons outside rankor. Except maybe the griffons in the desert.

I forgot about those

Ewwww. Snake Dance. I don't mind Ice Floe, but hate Snake Dance. And if I remember correctly, the drop rate on frosted griffon wings suck.

I missed last week, maybe I'll skip this week, too. I'm busy with my vanquishing title/cartographer title on Cantha anyway.

BogusDude · Nov 30, 2009, 05:23 PM // 17:23

hmmm trolls or minotaurs maybe!

but yeh a nice easy one, i always remember when they first introduced the shield from the collector just outside rankor. was online late farming away and rankor town locked out, knew somet was going off and found the new shields straight away. Mass wing farm ensued and i made a killing selling the shields in LA before anyone caught on

Vanaar · Nov 30, 2009, 05:26 PM // 17:26

I must be getting lucky then...spirit spam ftw.

Got my 10 in about 10 minutes.

Sharkinu · Nov 30, 2009, 05:26 PM // 17:26

600/smite works:P lots of griffons... so lots of wings
Too bad I have to share with Ogden

Laraja · Nov 30, 2009, 05:37 PM // 17:37

Hmm... maybe I'll try it with my rit. Spirit Spam seems ftw no matter where I go and since it's so much damn fun, maybe it won't be a tedious grind.

Drok Trolls in the cave... The trolls took a beating and still to this day keep on kicking

Should be a fun farm this week griffons with spell blocker are always fun

Anyone remembers hydras in Crystal Desert? Although they might be extinct by now considered how mindlessly farmed they were.

Where did you start your farming from ?

AngelWJedi · Nov 30, 2009, 06:04 PM // 18:04

okay i got my 10 fast and semi easy couldnt do the boss. >> exit rankor into snakedance go left 2-4 their then turn back and to the right. from the exit to up a small point their are packs of griffons and in a caldesac is a griffie boss and some other griffons. and again nic hates me the old *beep beep* buger! 5 green rocks,5 myst summon and tonics,10 sparklers and 10 aged ales.

Vanaar · Nov 30, 2009, 06:07 PM // 18:07

I take the same path as posted above...but the boss was simple...just kite a bit and keep throwing spirits down.

Hmm, 5 in 15 minutes, even the boss died (but no drops from him, of course). Nothing dropped for the first 10 minutes, then all of them fell, whammo!

Maybe next time I bring a running skill or cupcake (need 10 more, actually had 5 saved for some unknown reason)...

rkubik · Nov 30, 2009, 08:19 PM // 20:19

I just Spirit Framed with my warrior got 8 in approx 20 minutes NM )had two in storage). Was able to take on groups of three but not four. Was dreading this farm but once I started it was very easy.

1 mysterious tonic
1 Myst stone
1 Keg
10 aged ales
10 Honeycomb

Sharkinu · Nov 30, 2009, 08:57 PM // 20:57

>.<

10 gifts - best thing: 5 crates of fireworks
guildie got from 5 gifts 2 kegs and IDS

Screw you, Nick!

Nuime · Nov 30, 2009, 09:02 PM // 21:02

Hmm, I must just be having rotten luck. Doing the run mentioned above, have been for about a half hour now and not a single wing drop yet. *fist shake at the griffons* gimme my wings!

Riot Narita · Nov 30, 2009, 09:28 PM // 21:28

Drink Red Bull. It gives you wings.

But, if you use a spirit spammer - take Summon Spirits... use it when Griffons cast Symbol of Wrath to avoid them taking the AoE damage. Your spirits will last much longer this way. If you're quick you can use this when they cast Holy Strike too. Don't use Summon for the boss, spread spirits out, keep kiting and recast spirits as they fall. I didn't take Painful Bond - Griffons use Smite Hex.

Nuime · Nov 30, 2009, 10:39 PM // 22:39

Ha, I take it back. It took a while for the first wing to drop, but once they started the rest came easy. Even got one extra on the way to Nicholas.

Annnddd... finally got a Moss Spider Egg!
