Default What Are Your Farming Habits?

Hi.

I just thought I'd do a small survey about popular farming habits to give other people good information and also, give myself a few hints here and there. Ok, so here it is:

1) What character(s) do you do MOST of you farming on

2) Where do you do most of your farming

3) How often do you farm per day/week

4) What is you average income per hour

5) Do you prefer: Farming, Chest Running, Regular Runnong or Just playing the Game to make money

Thanks for your co-operation!

1) Currently it's my R/Me. Although I also do alot of farming with Warrior and Elementalist.
2) Currently, I am pretty much in the Underworld by myself (with my trusty mini-pig sidekick) trapping everything I can.
3) I farm every day probably. From 5-10pm. I am working on Obsidian armor, so that explains it.
4) Depends on drops. Currently its around 4k, since I am saving all the ectos I find. However, if I were to sell them, it averages at around 30-50k.
5) Farming.

Hope this information is usefull ^_^

Monk,Warrior and Ranger
Where ever I feel like it at the time.

When ever I get the time and I don't like to over farm.

I get 1K or lower as I may not do it enough all depends on the drops.

I prefer just regular farming.

1) What character(s) do you do MOST of you farming on
Warrior and Ranger (hero then flag tactic)

2) Where do you do most of your farming
Used to be elona reach but doesn't work so well so UW when we get favor

3) How often do you farm per day/week
4-5 hours when i played allot but now 30minutes to 2 hours depending on weekend or not

4) What is you average income per hour
about 40k per hour? unless i'm doing UW takes 10minutes for 8k so about 80k per hour?

5) Do you prefer: Farming, Chest Running, Regular Runnong or Just playing the Game to make money
Chest running and Playing the game to make money are my most fun ways to get cash, but i will farm if i'm short on cash..


i tend to bring rez signets when i solo farm tho.. bad habit lol

check your math

10 minutes for 8k = 56k per hour. However I think that 10 minutes = 8k is a bit extravagant of an estimate anyway =P

Anyway,

1) Warrior
2) Tyria (not a particular location, I just solo what i feel like)
3) Not much
4) 15-20k probably
5) Just playing the game and picking up stuff, but I do some farming when i need money or exp or whatever.

Mostly on my derv or monk, because for all my other chars, theres not an easily put together farming build for them...

Whatever appeals to me ATM, I have about 12 different spots I visit.\

All the time. All. The. Time................

~20-30k an hour

I just play the game and it gives me insane amounts of money

1) Ele, Monk, Warr, Ranger (in that order)

2) Depends on mood and if I have favor. If I don't, then outside maatu, kappas, and dragon mosses.

3) Usually it's only bout an hour a day, if that, but I decided yesterday that I want FoW, so that's gonna go up to 3-4 hours a day, then prolly shoot back down after I get the armor.

4) 15-20k/hour. Depends on drops and where Im farming.

5) Farming and playing the game. Keyless chests=random easy money every once in awhile too.

Actually I like running. It gives me a certain rush, helps others AND makes huge piles of money.
