Nahpui Quarter HM

When feathers drop, they drop in bundles of 19 - 24 feathers each. That means you get a stack of feathers per every 12 - 13 feather drops.

It is easy to kill everything except the bosses with a 600/smite, but you have to split half your feathers and celestial weapons. I find it is far more profitable (and less painful since there is no micromanaging) if you farm it with a 330 hp Rit.

I think I got just under 3 stacks of feathers last night in about an hour or so of farming. They were selling for 9k a pop in Lion's Arch. If you're doing it to sell the feathers for cash, there are far more profitable ways to make money, but if you're farming them for essences of celerity.......this is a great way to get them quickly.

The celestial weapons drops don't hurt either.

I can get 10 minute runs with this. I used to have a slightly better version, but I had to wipe my HD and lost everything

I think this and Jade's build have the fastest run times. I think there was an ele that had comparable times as well that was completely different.

What kind of gear is usually used with this setup / which area?

Im testing currently a rt/mo build which as ive not tried farming jaya bluffs before but ive managed 17 mins run and was being very carefull.
Almost the reverse of mo/rt - bar a few skill changes.
I`ll post the build a bit later today when im back on my pc.
Btw keep the diff profession builds comming as its a gd reason to dust off an old chr and put them to use.

For farming Jaya Bluffs solo, I tend to like to use:

[VwK][spirit rift][ancestors rage][channeling][physical resistance][mindbender][soothing memories](optional)

Max AL, 40/40 weapon set as well as an enchanting weapon set. I forget the attribute spread but it was something like max resto, max (or near max) chan and the rest in inspiration. Good, 20 minute run for some quick cash.

For best success? Full survivor, max, with obvious runes.

However, I run radiant and have no problems, so anything that's max is good enough.

And on Jaya.

Tried the 600/Smite_hero thing with my Necro today for the first time on Nahpui and got a bit more than stack of feathers, 3-5 drops of 19-20 feathers on each run, in around ~2h(might have been a bit more but i think i was doing around 30-35 minutes on each run).

Still a noob with farming on the necro so i guess someone experienced can do it a lot faster.

Works extremely well with Ritualist at 16 Resto. Done a couple of stacks already, runs take around 12-15min depending on how much GC/AC chatting meanwhile..

So I believe these builds are the way to go for feathers in NM Jaya Bluffs.

wtf, when I farm on the noob island of Factions I just get like 10 feathers per run, and like 10 feathered crests

that's only 50 feathers..?

Are you sure you're finding all the tengu mobs? It sounds like you're only getting about half of them.

snodaard · May 14, 2009, 04:22 PM // 16:22

I'm doing exactly the run as all the other ppl do.
atleast the map that is showed in the other thread.

gw_poster · May 14, 2009, 10:06 PM // 22:06

I average 20-30 feathers and 12-20 feathered crests....56-90 feathers per run (assuming the crests only give 3 feathers, but 50% of time its 4 so totals are a bit higher). Also, consider the blue/purple armors (pretty often with radiant/survivor/vitaes/minor vigors) and about 1-3 golds per run (just for the +1 wisdoms), and dyes (a black two days ago and a white yesterday - loads of other colors) and this is a pretty kick-ass 10-15 min run. I use a cupcake to get around between the mobs quicker and it helps to time the run. I start straight out, not left past the shrine, there is a bird mob hitting a yeti just as i'm getting there every time, kill them then head straight and then left on the bridge, pass the yetis on the other side and go right up the hill to the bird mobs - that's the way I go...the rest of the route tends to follow what others have shown. I haven't actually counted but there's at least 12 mobs to hit along the way, probably more. I usually do a rune/insignia/goldie giveaway in town before heading back out. Fun run and with feathers selling today at 11k per stack (that's the WTB!) - it's not too shabby.

Orange Milk · May 15, 2009, 01:28 PM // 13:28

It's 16 mobs, 18 if you bother to go get the ones that fight the Ranger Yeti boss on the ice and then move to the mob on the otherside of the pond. But Ifind those groups, and the slow down of the ice, to not be worth the time it takes. I can get the 16 mobs in 12 minutes but going off to get those other two mobs adds 5-6 minutes to the run.

snodaard · May 15, 2009, 01:54 PM // 13:54

My runs take ~11 mins, but I just don't get alot of feathers.

Kiluna · May 16, 2009, 08:22 AM // 08:22

Triple Chop Wammo works fine in Jaya Bluffs. Due to the weakness, you don't kill them _that_ fast. But you can kill 2-3 groups at the time easy which a 105 monk can't do due to the 50 dmg touch kill the necros use.

zinfamous · May 17, 2009, 07:20 PM // 19:20

solo rit farmer. made about 300k+ more than a year ago farming the Tengu outside LA in HM farming feathers.

can take on most bosses that may spawn (except Tengu ele & monk; mes boss is doable, but difficult). scalps also salvage for 2-3 feathers, so never sell them to merch.

lots of runes drop, so it's a very nice overall spot, I'd say. easily 3k+ per run just selling junk to merch. about 9k per feather stack, so it's profitable.

Jaya Bluff feather farm can be done by most if not all professions. Started GW 3 years ago and build my wealth initially from scale but never look back after I discovered feather farming. Lowest count will be 70+ and highest 160+ feathers per run (15-25 mins). Lots of radiant, survivor insignias, occasional vigor and pricey runes and lots of black and white dyes. Mobs average about 18 in all. Anyone saying different and getting less may not be doing the run right.

Painbringer · Jun 08, 2009, 03:09 PM // 15:09

Right out side of LA on the way to the settlement (Perma Sin / poison w vipers defense) 10 k wurth off of goodies and all in less than 30 minutes. May have to try this again

I also took my salvaged loot to the material crafter in the next zone and made better stuff to sell at the merchant but crap 10k is nothing to laugh at for this little of work.

Raudic · Jun 09, 2009, 01:15 AM // 01:15

anyone perma builds? an a/e sliver im assuming if there is one?

elegost619 · Jun 10, 2009, 08:26 PM // 20:26
