Guild Wars 2

Hi, I have not really played the game in months, not even installed atm. I was wondering if farming any single dungeon path is still profitable. I know it was nerfed awhile back, where bosses do not drop coin anymore (at least what I read)

So would speed farming cof 1 or hotw 1 be totally a waste of time if I reinstalled the game? Do the mini bosses, and main bosses like effigy and ginva drop champ loot like they do in the open world?

gold rewards at the end of the paths are buffed but they are time gated to once per day per account so you can’t farm the same path over and over again anymore. If instead you do a bunch of different paths you will get quite a bit of gold though

If you are good, yes. If you are bad, no.

What’s the deal on empyreal rewards if run multiple times a day?

apparently there is no DR with empyreal rewards in dungeon paths so you can spam 25 cof P1’s if you want to get your 500 quick

yes we know you loved farming cof P1’s

only viable in full magi gear

From what I can tell from the fan made LFG tool (which I will be phasing out of once the official LFG tool is up), not a lot of people farm CoF p1 anymore. If I want to farm CoF p1 for a particular reason, it’s normally selling the fine and masterwork equipment from the dungeon chests that spawn after either defeating bosses or doing certain timed events. But since the MF mechanic has been changed, it’s now more worthwhile to salvage the fine and masterwork items for the Essences of Luck (and I’d rather waste most of my time killing karkas to get the said fine ans masterwork items). Even so, prior to the dungeon reward revamp update, most people farmed CoF p1 as means of getting tokens to buy rares for salvaging them for ectos.

ANet is trying to encourage players to play multiple dungeon paths per day over farming a single path. It’s actually ANet’s stance to discourage farming (which ironically, there is a lot of level grinding in terms of leveling and crafting, which means farming is necessity).

From what I can tell, Citadel of Flame and Ascalon Catacombs are the most popular dungeon runs (one is for the said CoF p1 farm, and the other is for obtaining the PvT gear). I rarely see runs for higher level dungeons or CM (sans Ruined City of Arah, which is arguably the hardest dungeon).

Could do SE1 if you want them even quicker.

ah true, better champ loot as well

Thanks for replies!

Briefly installed, tried out a few old dungeons … but working on my chochobo license atm. I really hope the permanent dungeon content comes soon.

Doing SE p1 in 4 minutes means … 90 champ bags per hour?

Are they all deluxe gear boxes dropping that awful underwater exotic?
