Default Top 3 Farming Spot

I was wondering how you guys would rank your top three best farm spots (and mobs). Keep in mind three certain categories:

Difficulty (Easier would obviously mean better), Drops and Time.

I haven't farmed many spots, infact I've only really farmed three, but I'll set the precedent anyway.

Higher number = Better, for instance, a higher number difficulty means it is easier.

1. Griffons

Difficulty: 8
Drops: 7
Time: 9

Average: 8

2. Trolls

Difficulty: 7
Drops: 7
Time: 8

Average: 7.3

3. Ettins

Difficulty: 6
Drops: 9
Time: 5

Average: 6.6

You didn't get it did you, higher number = BETTER! Easier = BETTER. Higher number means it's easier.

Not to mention the topic isn't "Critique my farming ratings" it's to post your own.

Leave it to the warriors to post about good farming spots. Do you WANT Anet to nerf them even more?

Leave it to Warriors? I resent that.

If you think ANet doesn't already know all these farming spots, than it's you that is the naive/idiotic one. If they were REALLY looking at this forum, do you think they couldn't find common farming spots just from looking at these posts? Every other post is something about farming. Keep out if you are going to be a flamer.

Griffons more difficult than trolls?!?!?!

You crazy?


I slice thru griffons liek a hto knife thru butter, on the other hand if i get whacked with a disrupting chop while casting prot ......byebye me.


For me:

Taking down group of 25-30 griffon+minotaurs = easiwer thansame amnt of trolls.. just cause of disrupting chop.

He aint saying Griffons are harder than trolls x.x .. When he make High Number it means they are Easyer!! And since 8 is a greater number than 7, then it means Griffons are EAsyer!... :P

Yes, i have farmed all three of these sets over and over 100+ Runs on each

I can tell you this...

Trolls, Griffons and Ettins

1,Trolls-Require Most attention and skill set ect....Take the longest time

2.Ettins-Require Half attention... various Builds..Medium time

3.Griffons-Requires half attention...Set builds Most people use same thing..I vote its about the 2nd best

<<<DROP WISE>>>
1.Ettins-5 runs...Sup vig and Sup smiting
2.Griffons-After The nerf Not many golds... But all the items add up
3.Trolls-Rarely any gold drops... VERY VERY GOOD FOR POWER Lvling though

1. Not true, Trolls are EASY, and quick, griffons take more time just cause of having to run past rockshot.

2. Griffons are even easier.

actually yes, i for one would like anet to nerf these easy farming spots, give build makers something else to do for a week or two, and personally my favorite farming spot is the fissure forest, but i dont see that getting nerfed since the build doesnt win the area for you like minotaurs or griffons
