About this thread

This list of builds is outdated. No current formal listing of builds currently exists on Guru. I advise you to go to PvXWiki for builds.

This thread is a list (consisting of links) of farming builds and other useful pieces of information that is kept together in a neat and easy to locate manner. I'll be monitoring this thread, so if something gets nerfed or someone makes up a new build, I'll add/remove as I see fit. Builds are listed by profession, then by secondary profession; just take a look. If theres a build you think should be added, a dead link, or anything else I may have overlooked, just post and I'll get to it when I can.

PS: Don't post in old threads unneccesarily. While we appreciate posts that thank the person who posted the build and your effort to improve the build, if the thread is old (no posts in a long while) then your message will go unnoticed and will often just be responded to with 'do you realise how old this thread is'. You are welcome to PM the original poster (keep in mind they may have stopped playing and not see it) with your message. Also, do not post in threads asking 'Does this still work?' Try the build first.

NOTE: I can't guarantee that every single one of these builds works. Also, some are obviously less efficient than others; use your judgement (i.e, read the thread) to determing whether the farm is worthwhile.

I'd like to acknowledge The.D0pefish, WitteWas, and Hyro who have monitored the old solo farming threads. A big thank you to everyone who contributes in advance.

Thanks, Marty

.

Age · Sep 21, 2008, 09:09 PM // 21:09

I would say that most from Dopefishes thread are still viable today.don't forget that there are other Monk farming builds like /Mes,/W as well as the 600 smite builds.

You might want to include the W/rt build and that W/D one you got is actually a D/W 4 pips of regen of regens.The only new one is the A/E perma Shadow Sin and any pve skills in use on others.

Since one of the templates above is from my thread, here is the link to that thread:

R/Me - Echo Trap Stygian Veil

I'll try and sort some of the warrior and ranger sections of the old thread. Correct me if I'm wrong. Comments are in bold.

Hey,
as most of you know, farming has changed a lot since HM came out. The old

list was great, but it isn't up to date. Because Witte stopped playing GW

he asked someone else to create a new one (Just like he did for Hyro).

[V] = A link which contains a video
[F] = A farming build for Cantha (Factions campaign)
[NF] = A farming build for Nightfall (Nightfall campaign)
[EoTN] = A farming build for Eye of the North (Eye of the North campaign)
[HM] = Doable in HM
[Hero] = (only) doable with Heros
[PN] = Part of the Guide is nerfed

Full Guides:
Witte's HM Solo Farm [F] [NF]

Most of these still work; the FoW build in the first post needs revision

after the WoH update on the Shadow Monks. Solutions are in the thread.

600/Smite may be faster.

Full Tyria Solo Tour [F] [PN]

Like Dope said, some of these are nerfed. Armor stacking renders the

W/Me builds with Resistance and Dolyak obsolete. W/N UW nerfed. Unsure if

the W/Rt Forest works. Unable to test Tombs, Hell's Precipice, and Dragon's

Lair.

Full Tyria Solo Tour Mesmer Way [F] [NF]

Unable to test.

Warrior/X:
Warden Farming

Normal mode only. Still works.

Warrior/Monk:
Devourer HM farming [NF]

There's better Wammo builds out there.

Agree with this, and ditto for the Warden build above.

Warrior Zelnuhlun Fastfoot Farm [NF]

Unsure. Can't be bothered to test these.

FoW Spider Farming [F] [NF]

It works, but you can do better.

Various Solo Farming Build 1
Various Solo Farming Build 2

Typical wammo Healing Prayers variants. They "work." I'll leave it to the reader to judge their efficacy.

Cyclone Farmer [V] [PF]

Another wammo thread. Old(2006). Needs more killing power, like most of these. Still works.

55hp UW Farming

It works, but it's a 55 Riposte build.

Craw Stonereaper farming

Untested

Warrior/Ranger
Solo Grenths/SF

Old thread. Melandru's Resilience and Troll Unguent were buffed. It should work. Untested.

Hard Mode Solo Minotaur Farming [HM]

Thread is still updated. Skip to post #42. Still works.

(CEST), for the following reason:

* The first group always comes as one mob.

http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:W/E_The_Deep_Soloer

Darkroot Entrop solo [F] Untested. Unsure.
UW Smiter Run [NF]

Slow. Should work somewhat better with buffs to Lion's Comfort and

Warrior's Endurance.

Vermin Farming [F] [NF] [HM]

Untested. Unsure. Bonder hero is recommended in thread, so add the

[Hero] tag if you use the same system.

FoW Forest Farming [NF] Solid build. Recommended.

Full UW Solo Run [Eotn] [HM] [V]

Still works. Run it for the challenge, and not for drops.

UW Solo Smiterrun [NF]

This is a duplicate link to the thread immediately above.

Warrior/Mesmer:
Solo UW Smiter Run [F] [NF] [V] <--- Tags added

Recommended. 9 minute smite run! See also:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10317928
for a hammer variant.

Warrior/Necromancer:
Sorrows Furnace(+more) Solo farming build [V] Classic build. Works.
Sskai Soloing [F]
Razajan/Reaver Farm [F]
Solo Craw Stonereaper [F]
Razorfin Fleshrend Solo
Razorfang Claws Dagger Solo [F]
Ssaresh Rattler & Seacrash Solo [F]
GB/Riposte NF Boss Farming [NF]

I have never cared all that much for greens; I haven't tested any of the

above boss solo buids.

UW Smite Farming

Never tried it, but I can't think of any updates that affect it.

Warrior/Dervish
UW Smiter Run [NF]

Works. Recommended.

Warrior/Ritualist:
IDS Farming [F]

Works. Recommended.

Glint Challenge Farm [F] [NF] [HM] [Eotn] [Hero]

Nerfed. Inner Fire works now; VwK does not output enough damage.

Ranger:

Ranger's Beacon would be a good place to check, especially ths:

http://rangersbeacon.17.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=790

Registration is required.

Ranger/X
Totem Farm

Totem's are easy, just need poison and running skill. But the builds here should do the trick. Another guide can be found here:
http://guildwars.incgamers.com/showthread.php?t=459530

PvXWiki has a build here:
http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:R/...tem_Axe_Farmer

and there is a video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BJVB7mfPNo

General Ranger Farming [F] [NF] [HM]

Unsure if Stoneflesh can be maintained, or if the assassins will kill

you if it's not. The UW build should still work.

Solo Zelnehlun Fastfoot [NF]

Works.

Trapper Oni Farm
[F]

Untested. Unsure. It's on the working list at Ranger's Beacon.

UW Solo Smite Trap [F]

Should work. This guide skips the Aatxe in favor of clearing the

chamber, and then trapping the Smites. I've seen a build that can take the

Aatxe as well, but I don't have a link.

Panjiang Peninsula Kappa Farm [V] [F] [HM]

Haven't tested, but still on working list at Ranger's Beacon.

Glint Challenge Farm [F] [NF] [Eotn] [Hero]

Nerfed. Inner Fire works now; VwK does not output enough damage.

Ranger/Mesmer
Acolyte of Dwayna Solo [NF] [HM]

EW was updated. The original build no longer works. Can be done with a

hero with a 16 Beast Mastery Energizing Wind and Echo.

Chkkr Thousand Tail and Stsou Swiftscale Farming [F]

Still works as of last post on 1-20-08. Untested.

Tahnnakai Temple Trapping [F] [HM]

Energizing Wind was updated. Original build will not work.

Arborstone 3-boss Farming [F] [HM] [Hero]

Untested. Unsure.

Solo FoW Forest Farming

Still works.

Ranger/Monk
Ice Imps and Ice Golems Solo

Broken Link. Ranger's Beacon is now here, and registration is required.
http://rangersbeacon.17.forumer.com/index.php

I'm not certain, but I think this is a video of the build.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKNugEnx0EI

FoW Solo - Shadow Army

Untested. Word of Healing is stronger on the Shadow Monks, but the build
also has daze. It should work. Link to video in post # 21 of thread.

Ranger pet solo build
[F] [NF] [HM]
Bubahl Icehand Farm [F] [NF]

Haven't tested the above two.

Ranger/Necromancer:
Solo Underworld

No longer works. Energizing Wind.

General Toucher Farming
[F] [HM]

Long list of bosses here; many are bound to work. Some may not. Too many(for me) to test.

Flower Spiritgarden farm [F]
Soulwhisper ranger farm [F]
Sskai Farming
[F]

Untested. Don't care about greens.

Superb Charr Carving Farm[V] [NF][EoTN]

Works. Dirt is a force multipier!

Glacial Stone Farming[V][F][EoTN]

Works.

Ranger/Assasin:
Cultist Rajazan farming [F]

Works. Several build variants here, including R/X

Ranger/Dervish:
Bjora Marches Farm
[NF] [V]

Untested, but it should work. Working list @ Ranger's Beacon.

Ranger/Elementalist:
Sunreach farm
[F]

Untested. Unsure.

UW Smiterrun
[NF]

Untested. Unsure. Ranger's Beacon has it on the working list.

Ranger/Mesmer
Glacial Stone Farming
Should still work. May want to change the link to this:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...4&postcount=22
Link points to page # 2, but users with custom forum settings may not see the build.

All of the /Rt Glint's Challenge destroyer core builds point to the same thread, and the builds there no longer work.

May want to add this thread to the list:

R/Me - UW Solo Trapping

When the bulk of the builds from the old sticky have been sorted out. I'm just keeping the old one stickied for now because some professions are practically empty.
