Default Canthan New Year Farming
I'm trying to figure out where the best place to solo farm Lunar Tokens will be. I'd imagine a place with countless low level mobs. Perhaps using a solo minion master or dervish. Here's what I've come up with:
  1. Raptor Nestlings outside Rata Sum
  2. Gargoyles outside Nolani

Any other suggestions?

D-Core farming (1st wave) has extra benefits, so that works. The HM Vaettir farm seems a bit slow for Lunar Token drops to me.

I seriously doubt anything will be able to beat Raptor farming in NM, since Lunar Tokens arent lootscaled and because of the sheer number of them and the fact that they can be taken down in seconds. E/A or A/E Fire user over Earth ele to kill faster since. You would typically go Earth Ele with Sliver Armor because of how things get lootscaled if everything dies at the same time. Then Again, Lunar Tokens are not lootscaled

Bring 7 other random noobs to have a partyof 8 and while they think they are getting points, you get all of their loot since they are grayed out.

Win/Win

Read my thread, you get 25 lunar tokens for every time you do the method I put up.

Awesome idea...thanks! I'll need a random name generator...

What do you think will be the most profitable farm for Cantha New Year? Sounds like I'll need major bucks to buy some additional mini-pigs :-(

Left ctrl copy/paste the characters name. After you delete it, that name immediately becomes available again. Easy for deleting too.

it not nerfed. To get the Quests now you have to be lvl 5. Now you have to work for the Tokens.

...a nerf is a change in the rules of the game to make something weaker. It was nerfed.

Creating a bunch of characters and bringing them to level 5 simply to delete them is not "work", it's horribly tedious grinding.

Farming is all about efficiency, I'm asking what the most efficient way to farm lunar tokens...not pointless commentary.

Honestly, quit bragging about it. ANet is not going to give you anything for it. I don't see what's there to be proud of. That you pissed off a few people? Seriously, it's not worth it going over to every thread and posting that you put an end to this so-called "exploit". OK, it's over, life goes on. I have reported a fair portion of bugs during beta and you don't see me going to every thread and bragging about it.

Gaile doesn't give a celestial rat's butt about the rate of token drops. She's responsible for Guild Wars community and believe me even if she does tell the dev team, they will never make them drop more. If there is one thing ANet devs are good at, it's at making something drop LESS... WAY LESS.

I've replicated this result, got a grand total of 3, count'em 3 lunar tokens in an hour of farming Raptor Nestlings. Looks like we're stuck doing the quests, which is ok if you (like me) have 30+ toons and 3 accounts.

Way to win friends and influence people you smug prick. Quick, dob me in for having multiple GW characters and 3 accounts! Let's see Anet nerf the quests to 'account-based' instead of 'character-based'. Or why not just nerf the game so we can only have 1 toon...yeah that'll work!!! Get onto Archaic
