Seriously, guys, seriously.

I had R4 treasure hunter and only R1 Wisdom. That was mainly down to me running Port Sledge chests, which has a fairly poor gold drop ratio. I wasn't after wisdom so didn't really matter.

Anyways...to get Wisdom chest running/buying off bots is your only option. My old guildie had R7 Wisdom, he bought a lot of them, and ran chests for the rest.

Rare: thinly distributed over an area; few and widely separated.

R.Shayne · Feb 19, 2008, 02:53 PM // 14:53

Overfarmed areas do not drop many rare items. Go chest running or farming in places where few people farm or run. As an example when Catherdral of Flames (Temple of the Damned) first open my smite account got 14 rare drops and my 600 got 7 rares in one run, this was before Thanksgiving last year. Compare that to last night, using 2 comupter and 2 accounts got a grand total of 7 rare drops. As more people farm the area the fewer the drops. Time you run also seems to affect gold drops, I get more gold drops in the morning then during prime play times.

Anyone know any good farming spots that no one knows of?

The bots are gone, only rares i see for sale in LA or Kamadan are 800 - 1000g ea. and not much availble.

post in Buying section of this forum, has yeilded no responses.

CoF almost got nerfed (reversal of dmg) . Gok got smacked with a lessor mystic regen, Anet is hindering farming and culling drops. This is my last post in this thread.

here's another math problem for you 90minX6raresX10,000 = 150,000min = 2500 hours. Ok doesnt sound so bad, as long as i dont go to work, sleep or waste time interacting with the world. I can get that done in 100 days.

Have you farmed trolls lately? How many rares you think you ll get?

I am not going to re say what I said above. Go read it.

No I read and understand. You are bitching that you can't max a title to stroak your e-peen fast enough. I understand perfectly.

Look, if it isn't fun and you don't enjoy it, don't do it. It is as simple as that. Titles are only worth what you put into them and the feeling you get at accomplishing them.

Pleikki · Feb 19, 2008, 06:49 PM // 18:49

mm. I got r4 Treasure and r4 Wisdom.. Because of running only hm chets I get fairly enough good drops (like 80% money back) its enough cause i did it just for titles..

Arutima · Feb 19, 2008, 07:14 PM // 19:14

talking like a lot of people have too much money to spend into buying lockpicks for chest running ..

Holly Herro · Feb 20, 2008, 05:08 AM // 05:08

Chinese gold farmers.

If they don't take them, they have to sell their kidneys to give food for their families.

I'm rank 4 in both titles also and would like to max at least one of them. Where do you run chests? And how?

Have a look at this thread: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10145278

pkodyssey · Mar 14, 2008, 12:47 PM // 12:47

Hmmm.

When I do a HM mission or Vanquish, there is usually a good handful of golds that drop for each player. Some people seem to get more than others but, HM is the place to be.

Sweet Mystery · Mar 14, 2008, 03:12 PM // 15:12

Went chest running last few days and had like 24 of 27 drops as purples from the chests.... lockpicks seem to break in normal mode too all the time even tho have 60% retention rate... one day every lock pick broke so was a pain.

Seem there is a lot of randomly against randomness of late...

Malice Black · Mar 14, 2008, 03:36 PM // 15:36

Using lockpicks in NM is not worthwhile.

If you're trying to up your title, then just for opening chests it's alright.

For loot, not so much.

I just got a gold in normal mode yesterday with heroes in Echovald. My first one in there with that character.

I don't hink there's something wrong with them.

**cosyfiep** · Mar 14, 2008, 07:39 PM // 19:39

I usually get a gold or two every day (and dye, think the dye fairy likes me too). I have one character that has been iding them all---and since late fall has gotten from 500 to almost 800....so they still seem to be dropping (and I dont usually do hm either--or chests, cant afford keys).

Numa Pompilius · Mar 14, 2008, 09:51 PM // 21:51

The OP has identified 2500 rares, and wonder why there are not more of them???

You Look Grim · Mar 15, 2008, 04:49 AM // 04:49

how about zaishen chests?
