I got 4 in each of two runs, you could easily get all 5 in one run.

Anyone know a good spot for farming commas?

Incidentally, I just solo'd every drake in GoK and got zip. Thank you, law of averages - I should be due 10 next run, right?

I farmed the drakes on the beach (solo) in Sanctum Cay. About 1-2 crests per run.

rotaulave · Jul 12, 2011, 04:39 PM // 16:39

the last 2 farms i only got 3 3 so maybe they are dropping to more people on the average since more know about the spot but its alot better then Sancum ever wasy. But i would think you would get alot on the next one i was doing it as a W/MO
i was using a simple farm skills= Cyclone axe whirlwind Furious axe Light of Deldrimor Healing Hands Vig spirit Great Dwarfen Armor and Bonnitti defence using 11hp 7= strength
16axe 2 tactic i have a very nice 7str shield of +45 -2 / enchanted axe was 20/20 +15% and enchantments last 20% longer. but im sure any build will do, that that is a true solo so not sure what your using.

rotaulave · Jul 12, 2011, 05:39 PM // 17:39

Wow not one out of the 25 drakes dropped a crest like i mention my last 2 was 3,3 but i did another after your 0 message and got 6. so go figure. I use to do that run the first 2-3 months of the game 6yrs ago, that was the spot to do, groups where leaving every 5min to do the drake run, the drops were great and the chests were free and i think there was about 5(chests) no keys needed, great items in them until they nerfed it. That was the first nerf in the game the start of many disappointment nerfs lol. Let me know how you make out others seem to get an average of 5 per run.

Many Jotun in Drakkar Lake caves west of Sifhalla

5 pelts, 7 mins, easy week :P cheers to the guy above me ^^

June Bug · Jul 18, 2011, 04:45 PM // 16:45

Yes, I thought it was going to be a tough farm. Less than 10 minutes for me too. :P

AngelWJedi · Jul 18, 2011, 04:54 PM // 16:54

easy week for me xD ive been saving them up as i get them for wintersday xD woo thank you nic!

X-Plosiv · Jul 18, 2011, 05:37 PM // 17:37

I hope it's fast farm, will check later with SoS

RedDog91 · Jul 18, 2011, 05:58 PM // 17:58

As I cannot get to my computer, has anyone tried farming with a melee character?
How difficult do the mesmer jotun make it for meleers?

aspi · Jul 18, 2011, 06:39 PM // 18:39

I would not reccomend it on a melee char. They usualy come in pairs, either with a warrior or a necro jotun. Or if you're really lucky, 3 mesmers.

SithLord2064 · Jul 18, 2011, 06:50 PM // 18:50

It's a pretty quick farm with SoS. 12 minutes a run, and I did 2 runs. Got 5 pelts each run, + 500g. So, pretty good farming spot!

On top of that, Jotun Pelts are Wintersday items and can be traded in for Rainbow CCs. Yeah, I DEFINITELY need to farm here more often!

Da Kenster · Jul 18, 2011, 10:24 PM // 22:24

Used SoS on my warrior to pull it off for the fun of it, heh. Got mine and my friend's in about 30 minutes, was taking it slow and talking the entire time. Very easy farm, high five to the guy above

**cosyfiep** · Jul 18, 2011, 10:51 PM // 22:51

easy week--had them in storage...for all my mule accounts even!
would say it was harder to get to him then get them

The undead Mesmer · Jul 19, 2011, 07:24 AM // 07:24

Wow never knew SoS was so easy on these jotun rascals. Took me a measly 10 minutes to farm them and it netted me a couple of golds aswell.

Didnt get anything grand from the gifts though just some sugary delights and sparklers.

X-Plosiv · Jul 19, 2011, 09:06 AM // 09:06

Did like 5 runs so far (route that someone posted several posts above), and have only 6/15 so far. On a brighter note, got minor vigor, rune of attunement and blessed insignia while doing it so can't say I'm not satisfied, I just hate groups of 3/4 and mesmers.

15? You only need 5
