WOW! Schools out for sure. Item drops are better than ever too

Dralon · Jun 29, 2005, 02:55 PM // 14:55

If you are farming once or twice a day, then in my opinion you are not occassionally farming.

What you consider crap does not match my perception.
Gold and purple items are rare.

From what I understand of the anti-farming code, it's best to farm once or twice a day, because if you repeatedly do the area the drops continue to get worse. I am at the desert area and I would clear some of the easy spots, ie various spots where only one type of monster spawns so a particular build can easily win (i.e. hydras, griffons, lorasu (certain groups), minotaurs, etc) before going on a quest/mission. Every bit of gold counts and eventually I'll get my hands on that superior vigor and superior absorption...

Farming? Pfft.

Farming-scharming.

Who needs farming.

Expert salvage kit? Yes!

Lots of money.

With the trader, honey.

I farm once in a week or maybe twice a week and sometime i got dye, minor runes, and sometime blue weapons. Most of the time, i take all the items i got, and sell it for golds. Currently i got 1 Pla waiting in my account

Farming is still good in certain areas. Granted it's not like it use to be but it can still be good. I noticed that if you enter a location that you don't enter frequently you seem to get some great drops for a short while and then it flattens out but good item's still do drop on occasion. I don't farm for gold but I do farm to unlock item's and to gain XP for skill unlock's. Hopefully it won't be necessary once the new patch is out.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a rill of the Gates of Kryta shore,
There I sat, nearly napping, Hundred Blades, I kept on tapping,
Sound of gentle rapping, rapping on my number 4.
'`Tis bad luck', I muttered, 'Bad loot today -
Only this, and nothing more.'

On I went to the temple of Ages, oh, how I hate those shadow sages,
Chancing to find one Obsidian more,
"Kill the monks! we must", but I find nothing beyond dust,
Glittering dust on the jagged floor,
Traveling more oe'r the jagged floor,
To see shards, nevermore.

On I wander, tearing things assunder, only hunting for more plunder,
Why is the loot not like before?
Has ANet caused this disastor? All I want is more loot faster,
Faster loot now, then ever before,
Where is the loot now, it's not like before,
Give me a hint, and nothing more.

Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
'Surely,' said I, 'surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see then, what therat is, and this mystery explore -
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -
'Tis the wind and nothing more!'

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven, of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door.
Perched upon a bust of Dwayna, just above my chamber door,
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly, grim, and ancient raven, wandering from the nightly shore.
Tell me the time, the place, I shall find loot on the nightly shore."
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning, little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door,
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as "Nevermore."

But the raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered;
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before;
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before."
Then the bird said, "Nevermore."

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
"Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master, whom unmerciful disaster
Followed fast and followed faster, till his songs one burden bore,---
Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore
Of "Never---nevermore."

But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore --
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking "Nevermore."

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!--prophet still, if bird or devil!
Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted--
On this home by horror haunted--tell me truly, I implore:
Is there--is there a nerf--tell me--tell me I implore!"
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

So is the death of farming, hunting MOBs is much less charming,
The raven has ended the days of runes galore,
So back I go to repeat the missions, to once again defeat the skeleton legions,
On to join PUGs in search of the Sceptor of Orr,
Intangible assets, that's all that is the Sceptor of Orr,
Hording godlike weapons - nevermore.

"Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting--
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black rune as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! -- quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Dwayna just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming.
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted---nevermore!

Very nice uigrad, this man speaks the truth.

Wonder how many nerf bats they'll whip out today

Poe would be mortified, but oh well

Loviatar · Jun 29, 2005, 09:10 PM // 21:10

i got a double silver dye drop today

i would have done a screenshot but i didnt notice both in the pile of loot until i checked the inventory on what i had gotten and went OMG

i solo and get about 1-2 dyes per hour along with 3-6 steel salvages and 2 inventories of white and blue junk which sell for about 1 -1.5 plat per hour

or i can get about 3-5 fur squares per hour from the trader

this is after expert salvage and id kit expences

Wow, how did I leave "dye drops" out of my poem. Now it feels incomplete, like it needs another stanza.

How about some more poetry in this thread? Moderators need to move it to Nolani Academy of Arts, but that's fine. It really should belong there anyway.

Thanks. At least someone gets me. I was kidding. Some of that is from Adam Sandler.

does anyone agree that farming really does suck?

cuz i think it sucks now thanks to bots and scammers.

farming really sucks.

Racthoh · Jul 01, 2005, 05:29 PM // 17:29

I'm still trying to figure out why they nerfed farming. I went straight through the game, stopping only outside of Beacon's Perch to earn exp. I never had a problem crafting the newest armour, and now the only reason I need extra loot is to buy the FoW armour. And as is my understanding, it strictly for the purposes of looks. As far as runes are concerned, superiors are only a few platinum at most (at least the ones I need to buy which I have already), and the superior vigor is hardly worth the price IMO (20 extra HP than the minor for a fraction of the price).

So basically... they nerfed farming because they don't want everyone to look cool? Wow...

ty3c · Jul 03, 2005, 12:39 AM // 00:39

My 4 yrs old cousin has a vocabulary wider than yours. And he's way more polite.

Will you stop bumping your silly thread please?

Thanks.

Anyone Have There Two Cents About This?

the main thing that bugs me is im a warrior and i want to buy the best sword possable with this farming crap now i cannot and prob never will be able to buy one and that sucks
bottom line farming sucks now

even if i find items they suck

on top of that runes used to be worth alot more now thanks to rune shops

a sup vigor went from 100k to 50k or less

this sucks

and swords are now so much most people cannot get them

plus scammers seem to be millionaires!

and im still broke this ant fair

bottom line farming sucks.

and only cuz greedy farmers and bots made this happen.

ty alot guys you really wrecked a game worth so much to me and everyone else.

im only talking to scammers and bot users when i say that

farming now sucks.

Stoy crying!!! If farming wasn't nerfed, then everyone could afford the weapon of the "rarest/best" model (fellblade, crystal sword, storm bow, magmas shield ...) within a week. PvE will be over. Now that farming is nerfed so bad, very very few rare weapons or items are found. As a result, you can keep on PvEing and dream one day you will get the weapon you've always wanted.
