My understanding is that more come later - as I saw it, only 1 per town (that was this morning) - I got an update just now logging in, so I suspect something's changed somewhere...

FWIW - I'm running a touch ranger, modified:
OgQTQ4LjnpGyJ0ESCUjvR4ccAA
wilderness mainly for regen and speed to reduce downtime.

HM starting from Astralarium, going to Champs Dawn. Pretty much killing anything in my path. Going mainly for termite legs and drake flesh. Can take groups of 3-4 easily w/ build. Focusing on the 3 mobs of termites. Avg about 10-15 minute runs, ~4 TOT bags, ~4 termite legs, ~1 drake flesh, ~1-2k gold/vendor trash. Quite a nice grind, actually...

Raptors are far better though for TOT drops, but no useful trophies - lots of assn tomes tho.

I've been farming ToT bags by clearing Raptor cave in NM, minus boss. lol, I'm so self contradictory, i know

max Curses
max Shadow
Rest in Deadly or SR, doesn't matter

Deadly Paradox
Shadow Form [E]
Radiation Field
Poisoned Heart
Suffering
Air of Superiority
Dwarven Stability
Dash

run to the cave with Dash, aggro everything sans speedboost, hit Form under Paradox, degen them out, collect drops (Sanctuary is there for T. Jaws) also any self heal can be fit in for Air of Sup if you kill quick and don't have AoS unlocked.

I hate when people bring this up. In order to get 3 minutes of drunk time from level 1's, you need to use 5. Period. If you're going for drunkard, you can buy level 5's to start off and a bunch of level 1's to keep it going without wasting any points.

People who say level 5's only give 3 minutes are trying to get something for less than it's worth. Period.

Oh, and I got 4 stacks in 6 hours farming vaettir HM. Plus all the golds, glacial stones, mesmer tomes and dyes I'll ever need.

Good Thread, although I'm not used to farming so much anymore so it takes me extra long :P

Dumah · Oct 28, 2008, 07:24 AM // 07:24

I've been using the perma-sliver sin to farm tengu in hm outside of D'Alessio. It takes about 10-12 minutes, but you got tons of feathers, golds, salvage items, scalps, and ToT bags. I've made more money from the golds and feathers than the ToT bags. It takes some patience to gather a large group, since the groups are comprised of ranged and melee. I look at the minimap and gather them until the ranged are in a tight cluster. I then proceed into the middle while the melee follow me. Just like the raptors, everything dies fast. Also, you can take the scalps to Horseman Sarceci to trade for holiday items.

Farm the crawl and charr outside of runes of surmia on nm, im on 220 ornate necklaces, and 250 char carvings, plus char hides can be exchanged for fur sqrs for a bit $$$

we were talking about spiked eggnog not 1 minute booze you NOOB!

Umm, Komma, so was he...

He's saying that even if a level 5 drink like the mentioned spiked eggnogg will only give you 3 minutes worth of points, you still need 5 regular level 1 drinks for the same amount of points. Because you only get a point towards drunkard title going from level 5 to 4 to 3 to 2.
After that you dont get minutes anymore. So 1 level 5 spiked eggnogg = 3 minutes = 5 level 1 drinks.

I perma farm Spectral Vaettirs. My runs are 4 minutes.

60 enemies in HM that drop glacial stones + sin, mesmer, ranger, and warrior weapons.

At 2 minutes a pop (including boss) on my ele for HM raptor runs for 34 bad guys.....i find it is nearly even. My preference goes to the Vaettirs over raptors since they are farmed less and drop more golds for me. I can get a stack of holiday items in about two hours (just over 2)......not to mention i cash out about 2 full inventories of golds in that time.

I also don't have any screwed up runs (like a rubberband into a bodyblock, scattering enemies, or any other possibility at no fault to the player) due to my methods.

So on a holiday weekend with about 16 hours invested, i can make a few hundred K or even several hundred K depending on which holiday.

However, that is all pretty slow compared to my Nahpui Quarter run, which nets me about 35k for 10 minutes (or so) of work (not including getting a full party of runees).

Impressive. I'd end up trying this and getting one bag in 10 runs.

What build do you use to farm Nahpui?

SkekSister · Oct 29, 2008, 10:35 AM // 10:35

Tried many of these builds and still ended up going back to my UW solo Derv build, as it still seems the most profitable.

A smite run takes about 20 mins and I get 8-10 ToT bags per run plus the usual ectos, golds, dyes, phantom keys (I get craploads of these for some reason) and occasional rubies and sapphires.

I'll be buying my Halloween items off you guys and girls

I don't farm nahpui, i run people thru it for 5k each (4k on slow days). I can do it completely solo with my Ele in just under 40 minutes (not masters) or completely solo with my sin in about 10. With the sin there is about a 33% chance of failing at no fault to the runner (bad luck on leech signet interrupting shadow form, which is rare in NM). I've published the Ele build before (though i have found a better substitute for Kinetic to draw out leech signet) but the sin build i keep to myself (i even make the people being run wait in spawn so they cant die and watch).....though it's pretty easy to guess. A basic sliver perma sin with moderate healing and a skill to draw out leech signet twice for each cast of sliver.

The ONLY skills in the whole mission that can affect you are zealot's fire (since i kill the kirin last its no biggie), leech signet (the build is built around drawing this out), and signet of judgement.

Otherwise farming outside Nolani for some grawl. Singed Grawl skulls for the Wintersday event, trade 2 for spiked eggnog. Also real easy.

To bad none of the collectors give Sweet tooth items. If i'm correct.

This is actually my favorite farming spot. I save the necklaces for xmas...gotta love the candy canes, and the dye drops are rather good as well. I salvage everything else that drops.

well i think that u should just do costume brawl although its hard to get a good group once u get going u can get 50+ tots
