Elona's reach is great to go farming at. The only problem is if one accidently catches more groups than one can handle.

Any mission place is good to go farm at. Of course, some harder than others. Play it smart. And as usual, based on preference. If you like killing a whole lot in a short amount of time, but less likely rare drops, Ascalon. If you're up to it, farming griffs outside of DROKNARS FORGE. Now that's what I find hard to farm.

Edit: I meant to say the actual Elona Reach MISSION to farm. Outside of it? Bit boring for me.

Well, if you configure your 55 monk right, you can do the entire circle of augury rock and kill over 70 hydras in about 20/30 minutes. I can do about 10 at a time, and the hardest part is aggroing them into a decent group. The drops are ok, hydra claws sell for a decent amount (30 hydra claws per run isnt uncommon, and sells for 900 gold

) and theres often gold and purple items along with chest keys to pop open the occasional chest. Works out very well.
Note: After doing the first half (i take the northern half first), take the teleporter to get to the east most part of the southern half, and work your way back from there.
Often i go back to town before that because my inventory is full :P

Hehe. I can only take on max 3 hydras at a time with my warrior.

I can totally own 3 minotaurs on a good day with my Ranger.

I take on 5-8 minotaurs at a time with my warrior outside Ice Caves on way to Beacon Perch.

Taking into account of what some people were saying, I decided to perform a little test. Taking on one herd of minotaur, I decided to kill them all with just my regular striking, no skills. Out of the 6 of them, 4 dropped money, one dropped a horn and one dropped a hide.

Next group of minotaur, I fought them one at a time, using Final Thrust as my kill skill. Out of the 8 of them, 3 dropped money, one dropped a purple hammer, one dropped a blue bow and one dropped a white shield. one horn and one hide. Way better then the first group IMO.

Thinking it might have been luck, I tried again against the next group of minotaur. There was 6 of them. Using Final Thrust again, I got one purple bow, one horn, one blue sword, one white sword and 2 dropped gold.

I've decided to make sure I can use a skill for the death blow from this point on. From the money and drops I sold, for small time farming I made almost 2k. And it only took me an hour. I'm going to wait till I get more skills, then head off to the desert for some farming there.

As I've stated in a previous post before, that I feel there is a higher chance of getting an item when using a skill to finish off an enemy.

kuji · Sep 25, 2005, 12:01 AM // 00:01

I remember someone posting an image on his day of farming griffs. Showed all items gold. And I'm sure he just dropped a bunch of his things.

Now, since the update, they have nerfed a lot of things. If that person did have all gold items from about 8 griffs, won't be happening anymore.

These are pics of me trying to aggro almost everything I can find while staying away from Devourer's:

One and Two · Sep 25, 2005, 01:24 AM // 01:24

I feel this is wrong. Just because we don't post it, doesn't mean Anet doesn't know about it. Hundreds of people know different places, and it doesn't have to be posted on here to be nerfed. The places I've been farming and I've never told before have been nerfed before.

Friends tell friends who tell their friends who tell their younger brother who tells their friends who tell their cousins and they spread the word to their guild who tell their friends and and and and....

One which is domination based with some inspiration.. for sand drakes

a me/e mix for griffons/minotaurs (think outside the square)

and a illusion/inspiration mix for hydras at perdit rock (not that I've attempted those)
