This hasn't been nerfed yet.

1 Goldie :P!

Im having lots of fun with this farm using the vwk averaging 1-2 minutes. last night i had a run with 3 golds and a white dye which was pretty good. Haven't gotten an ele sword yet from farming the nestlings but i got one from a chest in the same cave...weird. Probably done about 335 runs approx. lol Its been good for the honeycombs and ale also

I've been doing this run since GWEN first came out with my ele, switched to W/Rt after HM came out. I did this run consistantly for the last 2-3 weeks, altogether got about 70 Greater Sage Blades and 80 Great Conch dropped and 5 Saurian Scythes from the locked chest that spawn inside the cave from time to time, and finally last night an req9 Elemental Sword dropped. Seems the drops are better certain time of the day, during peak hours (around 7pm) the drops are pretty crappy, 1 gold every 3-5 runs and during early morning hours (2-4am) the drops seem to be better, often I see runs with 2-3 gold drops plus lockpicks. Too bad the Elemental Swords have dropped in price quite a bit, but think I'ma still keep doing this and stack a few more.

IlikeGW · Dec 11, 2007, 04:13 PM // 16:13

the swords are heading for a huge crash, the market LA is flooded with 9's and 10's already

I've been farming raptors ALOT with my elementalist, and it pains me that prices of elemental swords has dropped so much since this farm came out. It can be difficult to sell a q9 for as low as 50k :/
But it still is a pretty decent farm, i usually find about 25-30 golds in an hour and i get alot of mods to sell from those, find quite alot of white & black dye as well.

wsmcasey · Dec 12, 2007, 02:34 PM // 14:34

Lots of white and black dye? Really?!? It must just be you.

I've done close to 500 runs with my warrior and ele and still havent got an ele sword to drop.

Plenty of junk golds that I cant sell that I end up salvaging for perfect mods or selling to the merchant usually. 4 Elite Sin Tomes and dozens of regular Sin Tomes. 4 Broodmother Daggers (I would probably have more Elite Tomes and Daggers, but I just started killing the boss with my Ele. Most of the runs are with my warrior.).

Best drops are from chests so far. 2 req9 Saurian Scythes.

Are the Ele Swords dropping from the Boss, the Nestlings, or from the chests?

The Nestlings, from my own experience. I have heard but cannot confirm that the chest that spawns in the cave reveals them too.

I'm not trying to hijack the thread but I use this build:

E/A 16 Earth, 12 Shadow Arts, 4 Energy Storage.

I've gotten one from the chest in the cave and got one last night from the nestlings. I don't know about the boss since I don't kill it with my warrior

xx hells paladin xx · Dec 12, 2007, 04:25 PM // 16:25

Sliver pwns the boss in 10 seconds or less, then you have the opportunity to recast Shadow Form since skills reset instantly after the boss is dead. I use a Totem Axe to hit the Broodmother so she doesnt run away.

in just using the pvxwiki A/E build on my ele (making it E/A of course) I've gotten 6 +5energy inscriptions, 6+ 15^50 inscriptions, 5 19% enchant sword mods, enough golds to get me to rank 3 of wisdom, and 4 ele swords... All runs that I do, assuming i don't get killed on the way, take a grand total of 1min in the area, from re-zone to re-zone. Unfortunately the ele sword has gone down to such a low price that it's almost not worth the farm other than holiday items (made over 100 beer and 50 honey comb last night

). Wonderful farming

Trader of Secrets · Dec 14, 2007, 06:02 AM // 06:02

This farm only seems worth it only when event items drop.

Guildmaster Cain · Dec 14, 2007, 11:03 AM // 11:03

Most of my runs net me with 2-3 rares (sliver build), and the run takes about 1 minute. Each rare could be sold for 1k, so thats a lot if i would actually sell the unid rares.
