Guild Wars 2

How viable is champ farming in EoTM? Let’s say you’ve painted the map your color so there’s no resistance.

Well if you paint the map your color then then you get one champ at each location then it over, as you will then own them all and there will be nothing there to kill.

Assuming that you face enemies, it all depends on if they want to stop you or karma train. If you could get the other two side to also train and everyone one circle around capturing then it would work rather well.

although coordinating a cross-multi-server karma train would be much more difficult than you may be expecting

Oops… didn’t think of that… pretty embarrassing!

You can go in and kill the champs, just don’t cap the point. They will respawn after awhile, don’t they?

I have been farming it in the following way:-

Log in as soon as new map starts.

Zerg all neutral champs, towers, supply camps etc…

Stay with zerg, slaughtering everything quickly, including enemy players until either zerg runs out of steam or you die.

Then log out…repeat 4 hours later.

Its very time effective and you get max rewards for short amount of time invested.

You have zero downtime running back to zerg…

Nope, if you leave them without capping most lords will remain dead till rezzed. They will not respawn, as far as I am aware.

Which then leads to another issue as its the same enemy, and not a respawn you can only get loot once. There may be a timer in the code though that only all 1 drop from same enemy every 10 minutes. But anet would have to confirm that, which they wont as that would lead to non-cap farming trains. (ie open wall/gate, kill lord, leave, have other team rez but not fix opening, come back 10 mins later for more loot. If done on all capture points would be a very fast train.)

What…? I don’t even. EoTM isn’t meant to be some farming spot you can go to to collect loot.

^ And yet, there will always be players who go to a new area and think, “How can I squeeze the most money out of this?”
