Default 55 Soloable Canthan Areas

ok so most veteran players know about the 55 solo areas in Tyria like UW,FoW and others..so I figured I'd try my hand at some areas in Cantha.so far Ive found quite a few areas to solo and missions as well.I actually posting this more for and dev from anet to see these areas and possibly fix them from exploitation possibly...so heres 4 bosses in Cantha ive gotten a system for..these are all on the Kurzick side btw.










Theres many more areas and i'll post screens when i can of them..Pongemei Valley is solo friendly as well as Melandrus Hope.

Add to that the bleeding from jagged strike and getting knocked down from horns of the ox, and they're an effective anti-55hp build in one package.

Oni's are a huge..impediment when it comes to factions solo-ing. I can't think of any plausible way to solo them....except a trapper maybe?

I soloed an Oni, but it was 1 on 1, it was annoying even w/ just 1, I used my war/mes though.

How interesting.. First you farm these areas, and get the items. You get rich...

Only THEN you post these places to "stop exploitation"... Wow.. You're so noble and nice.

What about the rest? Cant we get these greens too? You're doing NOONE a favor.

If you actually wanted to help ppl out and share your farming spots with them, you'd post this in the appropriate section. NOT here. However, that's clearly not the case.

PS: Farming these spots is NOT exploitation. The chances of getting a green are about 1 in 50, those who are persistant enough to actually get a green, DESERVE one.... :/

Yea i figured someone would flame me for this post.

First off Ibex..I'm not the first to post farming areas for solo characters.

Second you don't know me,you dont know how rich I am and you dont know what I do with the stuff I get..so don't presume you do.90 percent of the time I'll give greens away for free,sell golds at ridiculously low prices and help people learn these routes by taking anyone who wants to come along.

I'm not pretending to be noble,or anything along those lines..I'm just showing that these things are possible and any character that has experience using the 55 build can do this.

Yes I would definitely like to see these places changed with more of a challenge added to them..I don't see a problem with that statement..I think ultimately these areas will or are being exploited..I don't understand your logic in saying first i farm these areas,get rich then tell everyone about it??You should stop making such assumptions as you are ranting and not stating anything factual...as you said greens drop at a rate of about 1-50..how many times do you think i hit the same boss?..how many greens do you actually think i get?

You sound like one of those people I get in the pug group that spams "REZ ME" a hundred times after they die aggroing a huge mob they had no business aggroing in the first place..yet another reason I tend to hench and solo btw...oh wait you don't do stuff like that?

Suck it up sunshine..go put on your big boy shoes and go outside.

and if you'd even BOTHERED to look, instead of jumping to conclusions which is obvioulsy your forte'..you'd see i put a lengthy guide to solo'ing in the necro builds forum...last time i looked this is a screenshot forum..hence the screenshots.

You contradict yourself at almost EVERYTHING you say.

1)You got angry at me for assuming things about you, yet you assume things about me....

2)You want these areas nerfed, yet you tech people how to farm them?? - Logic please?

3)You say I didnt BOTHER to look at your Necro build farming posts... Did you BOTHER to look at my Monk build farming post??? - lol

I am sorry for assuming things, but you assume just as much as me.
All I want to say is that asking Anet to make these spots harder, - nerf them, is NOT the solution to whatever you're trying to fix. Farming, in fact, is perfect for Anet's purposes. The more people will farm these places, the lower the prices on these greens will get. This will eliminate a big part of grinding, and again, LOWER THE PRICES. So Anet, please dont make these spots harder!

And pariah, if you are saying that you help people, please post this in the section for farming builds, along with your other posts there. And instead of posting these screenshots alone, EXPLAIN to people exactly how to farm ALL these bosses, what skills to use and how to get there(not just in-game but here as well). If you dont do that, you simply want these spots nerfed, and you have no interest in helping anyone but Anet and yourself.

I am not against farming or helping people. In fact I want all this to continue, and I share my farming spots with people every chance I get. However I'm against you straight out asking Anet to destroy this.

Ok Ibex I'll try to explain myself in a civilized manner here so you'll understand me..because you are obviously on a one track mind approach here where "you are right and I am wrong" and I don't wish to get into some sort of back and forth schoolyard arguement here.

First..

"And instead of posting these screenshots alone, EXPLAIN to people exactly how to farm ALL these bosses, what skills to use and how to get there"..ok well..I'm not posting these in the SCREENSHOT FORUM to teach people how to farm..i cant get any clearer than that..I dont see anywhere in this topic where I was stating I was..farming topics and builds have their own forums last time i checked..I am not TEACHING anything here..simply displaying.

Second..

"You say I didnt BOTHER to look at your Necro build farming posts... Did you BOTHER to look at my Monk build farming post??? - lol"..I don't care about your Monk build post..this post has NOTHING to do with builds..and the ONLY reason I said that was because YOU STATED "If you actually wanted to help ppl out and share your farming spots with them, you'd post this in the appropriate section. NOT here. However, that's clearly not the case."..and yet I explained I have posted my build and farming techniques IN THE APPROPRIATE FORUM..this is not a forum for builds and farming this is a screenshot forum..I am not TEACHING anyone ANYTHING..I am posting SCREENSHOTS..this sinking in yet?..you even reading all this or what?..why would i even care remotely about your monk build post anyways..whats the point of even mentioning that?

Third..

"You got angry at me for assuming things about you, yet you assume things about me....",dude..it's called sarcasm..a witty retort..a zinger ..nevermind..and i dont get angry..but thanks for assuming i do.

Fourth..

If i wanted to "straight out" ask Anet to "destroy" the areas..I would ask them "straight out"..this was just a possible suggestion to relook these areas over and drop some harder opponents such as Onis or something..bots will head there eventually and then the blade of injustice will fall yet again..nip it in the bud now..before the inevitable posts start showing up "Bots in Lutgardis" I can't tell you how many chest run groups I've already seen in Nehpui already.

you wanna learn about builds and farming ..go to the builds forum..you wanna see screenshots come here..simple...I'm not teaching any builds or farming techniques here..just showing my accomplishments however petty they ultimately are.

If I want to SHARE my knowledge of farming these bosses..I will..and have in the builds forum..and for the 50 bucks ive spent on factions, I'll say and suggest whatever i darn well feel like..you don't reserve the right to tell me what I should or shouldnt do.

Fifth..

If you dont do that, you simply want these spots nerfed, and you have no interest in helping anyone but Anet and yourself."...I would..if this was a farming or builds forum..but alas its a screenshot forum not demanding or requiring builds or farming techniques..which i dont intend to supply in this forum.I think were all in it for ourselves ultimately arent we?

God.. I dont even know where to start... You keep contradicting yourself, you misinterpret my ideas, you twist and turn like a live eel on a frying pan, trying to make it so that you are right and I am wrong. Typical, what can I say.

First...

You say that you didnt make this topic to help people, yet you said earlier that you DO help people.(contradiction right there)
If you didnt make this topic to help people, then there's only one reason. You want to make this harder - nerf it. And because that is the case, I believe you are WRONG for doing that.

Second...

Lol... you are posting screenshots... is this sinking in yet? It sunk in right away. and you are wrong for posting these screenshots, because what you are doing is asking Anet to nerf.
"I am not TEACHING anyone ANYTHING" -- oh, you're not?? Then who said that they take people along when they farm??

"why would i even care remotely about your monk build post anyways..whats the point of even mentioning that?" -- because you mentioned your Necro posts like you were trying to rub that in my face. IN YOUR DEFENSE.

Third...

What can I say... you make me sick... You just said that to make me feel stupid. You failed.

Fourth...

"If i wanted to "straight out" ask Anet to "destroy" the areas..I would ask them "straight out"..this was just a possible suggestion to relook these areas over and drop some harder opponents such as Onis or something..bots will head there eventually and then the blade of injustice will fall yet again..nip it in the bud now..before the inevitable posts start showing up "Bots in Lutgardis" I can't tell you how many chest run groups I've already seen in Nehpui already." -- that's same as asking to nerf. If you nerf it for the bots, you nerf it for everyone.


"you wanna learn about builds and farming ..go to the builds forum..you wanna see screenshots come here..simple...I'm not teaching any builds or farming techniques here..just showing my accomplishments however petty they ultimately are." -- but that's the thing. YOU DIDNT POST THIS JUST TO SHOW SCREENSHOTS> you suggested that these spots are to be nerfed.
If these would be just screenshots, I wouldnt say a thing. In fact, I'd encourage you to post more.

If I want to SHARE my knowledge of farming these bosses..I will..and have in the builds forum..and for the 50 bucks ive spent on factions, I'll say and suggest whatever i darn well feel like..you don't reserve the right to tell me what I should or shouldnt do. -- lol... what kind of arguement is that??


Fifth...

Please, dont tell me that you used this forum to post screens, but you also made posts in the appropriate forum where you teach people to farm these bosses. That is not true. Yeah there are some posts, but not even for half of the bosses you posted here. Dont throw that at me. It doesnt help to support your arguement.

"I think were all in it for ourselves ultimately arent we?"

See.. That's the sad part about your thinking.. I feel sorry for you.

Last I checked, GW was a TEAM game. It feels nice to help ppl. At least to me.

Where's all this talk about helping ppl, taking them along on runs, giving them golds... I bet it was all lies too... If it was true, you wouldnt say the above statement.
To be honest, I used to be a bitter, selfish jerk of a person. But I changed. I have been helping ppl for a while now. Teaching them how to farm, giving them stuff, etc.

Honestly, I dont even know why I bother. You will still disagree with me no matter what I say....

Today, I noticed that some of these farming spots have been nerfed badly. Much worse than they used to nerf in Tyria. So CONGRATULATIONS!! You won!! You got your greens, and some others did... But other people probably never will. I hope you're happy. you got what you wanted.

Dont bother replying. I wont post here again, since what I was trying to prevent has already happened.
