Curse

Right outside Rilohn Refuge, past a group of Ntouka, is a big spawn of Nephila. The boss drops a decent green bow, and the entire mob drops vendor junk that's worth some money. Best of all, the run is short and idiot-proof: if you die, meh - you can easily do it with DP.

Without further ado:
Build:

This is the safest possible build. If you're feeling adventurous, there is probably no need for demonic flesh, nor for deflect arrows. So you can drop those for damage skills to make each run go faster. Personally I'm using Barbed Signet and Awaken the Blood instead of those two.

Equipment:
Enchant +20%
Whatever curses/blood/tactics stuff you want

Route:

Right when you zone out of Rilohn heading towards the farming spot, you will encounter a group of four Ntouka, Blood Renewal, then Sprint past, they shouldn't really give you too much trouble. Keep going along the route. As soon as you reach this spot the entire mob will pop-up all around you:

As soon as this happens, Blood Renewal, then run towards the boss, as soon as you are within aggro range of the boss, Sprint and use "Shields Up!", run towards to Ntouka until you lose aggro. If you time it right, you should be able to lose aggro just as Blood Renewal ends, healing you pretty much to full if you've been poisoned or Shields Up! didn't block enough arrows; hide right here, until all the Nephila are clustered:

Make sure ALL of them are clustered, there might be latecomers, so be careful of that. When all of them are gathered in a pretty little clump, pull them and run. Hide behind this little corner, and SS away. Usually SS and RH on the boss will drop the rest of the mob rather quickly, if they aren't clumped in a formation for SS to hit all of them, you should still be able to hit the safe ones from your corner:

Wait til they die, collect your loot, and rinse, repeat.

PLAN B: If things go wrong when you're spawning the ambush...just die. You can run past the Ntouka again easily enough, and all the Nephila will be clustered in one spot when you get back here. Or....if you feel that strongly about not dying, use deflect arrows after sprint, run around the big rock and hide on the other side of it until the boss deaggros.

Loot:
I estimate each run to be be around 600-700g in cash and vendor junk. This is not including spider webs that can almost always be expert salvaged into silk, kournan keys, scrolls, and the green drop from the boss. It's not too bad for 3-5 minutes worth of work, max:

Happy Farming!

This can also be done by Mesmers, elementalists, and probably other stuff.

Anything that has AoE dmg, and is smart enough to stand there and spam it. My friend uses Sliver Armor (with stoneflesh and armor of earth up) to take the boss, then lets the rest group up and finishes them with Searing Flames from a point they cant attack you. Same difference.
