I find Desert Griffons and Minotaurs outside of Augury to be the best for me. Solo, i get about 400-500 actualy gold drop, plus another 200-300 from minotaur horns/hides and griffon wings.

I get about 1-2 golds every 6 runs and a good share of purples and blues.


I farm Snow Ettins in Griffon's Mouth (yes, they ARE only level 11) just because of how many of them they are. I can take on about 20 and finish the aggro off in under 3 minutes. I usually get good purple weapons/runes every 2 runs.
^^ and being able to just zone out then in its pretty much non-stop farming.

I usually do Griffs/Minos with W/Mo, occassionally Hydras for a change of pace. If they feel like dropping a buch of scrolls it's maybe a bit better money from selling parchments... but some times I go entire runs without any scrolls dropping so Griffs take the cake for braindead ease.

Been a long time since Rockshots have posed a problem, I routinely take on Featherfist, about a dozen Griffs, about 9 Minos with 2-4 Rockshots flinging crap at me and it's never an issue.

well ettins give out gold runes. Griffons with me i have always gotten gold shields with 35 or higher life while enchented, not many gold drops besides those when i farm them. Trolls never gotten anything good besides purples.

Head out of Augury Rock to Prophet's Path and head south.

PS. Just cos I've answered, doesn't mean I like you.

With my solo trapper build, trolls and ettins are jokes (unless of course you die and then the trolls attack your spirit and die, but you get no drops b/c you're on the ground ). With my 55 me/mo, griffs are a breeze, too. If your prot. spirit gets interrupted by rockshots, you should just delete the game. Seriously.

Just trying to say that warriors and 55 monks don't have all the fun.

I usually farm griffs/mins and I dont mind the drops I get. before ANet nerfed it I'd get a gold every 2-3 runs now I get gold every 5-7, and I usually get good purples/blues. I dont bother with trolls unless im power lvling, and Im too lazy to get more skills to farm ettins.

No fellblade for me as yet. Got FDS from trolls but clean fellblade > FDS IMO(fire dmg mod...bah). No real good drops lately....Ill switch to FoW a bit...

BTW Spider farming still viable?

EDIT: Wexnar:
1. Trolls are just outside Droks, go left and up the hill, you'll find a cave full of bastards. There's a boss with Troll Unguent and Escape skills so be mindful to pack interrupt/anti-evade attacks if you wish to drop him dead. Still can be time - consuming.

2. Ettins are found just east of Beetletun - they use heal sigs so pack a interrupt (or rust if u can).

3. Griffons - I'm not into that really, so I hope someone else answers. They're in desert, between Augury and Amoon I guess, but the area is clogged now with Queen of the Scarabs and her nasty necro minions. But hey, you can always go farm her (not alone tho).

If you're new at this search away for countless stable warrior solo farm builds around... try to get some superior absorb runes and -2 dmg in stance shield from collector - it helps a lot, it really does. Oh btw, anyone know how to get bleached shells quickly??

*Farming*

1.) Ettins are simple but if you over farm 'em like I did you go from 3-5 Sup drops a run... to 3 minors... however my last ettin run yielded a Sup Vigor I was wanting for my Swords Warrior.

A friend put a build together that destroys an ettin in one chain of skills... works like a champ.

2.) Griffons were stupid simple with my 55 monk - I pulled at least a plat in gold dropping per run and got a few nice bows, swords, and axes. The Queen trashed that though.

3.) Haven't done Trolls but a friend used their W/Mo and always talked about the bows he had drop.

I guess I need to try to farm some Trolls. Bring keys where you go... well maybe not on the Ettin... I've had extremely nice things come from chests on farming runs.
