Guild Wars 2

Recent updates clearly state we are not allowed to farm. So I will post my best farm as of now. It’s boring, it’s tedious, but It is rewarding.

150 Magic find nets me 10-15 gold per hour. I only do it 1 hour at a time when I do it. Using a magic find boost to get 150 magic find. Due to DR, I haven’t bothered trying more than an hour or two at a time. The longer you do it, the more you feel like DR is hitting in. But I think it’s just RNG, you can go 3+ rotations w/o a single T6 mat, then in two mobs you can get 3.

Adds spawns does not reward XP or drop items. I think they did at launch, not sure though.

So Anet please, nerf this as well. Can’t let us players farm these Barracuda. I think Warrior is the best way of doing this farm, you agro 5-6 mobs at a time and press 5.

Takes some time to learn how and which you can agro before they run back.

I don’t this you should have done this.

I agree, and while they’re at it they should also remove EOTM since people are leveling up and getting loot there too.

The recent nerf to the champ trains and QP is really sad.

Get used to it, I hear Living Story season 2 will have no loot at all.

guess I had better try out EOTM before it’s changed, too LOL.

What is that in your screen cap where I drew the lines? Does it mean we get the shaft? LOL

Haha, nice one. Never saw it that way before^^

Already see people here in my zone, can’t wait till get get the shaft.

That’s a decent one – I am SO tempted to post a screenshot of mine as well once I get off work – though it’s much less than yours: 5-7 GPH at current TP prices.

I’m so fed up of ANET’s unclear position on farming that it’s starting to make me not care if they nerf it.

Actually, if you party, the drops get slightly better/higher volume.

Go ahead, so we can finally play what the devs want. Disney land on rails. The funniest ride is capped at once a day. Here in Gem Stores 2 you, replace fun with rewards.

Well the Southsun Cove loading screen is even worse. Someone slipped that past haha.

Don’t do it.

Why not? Don’t ANET want to make a good game for the players? Or do they have something higher on the priority list behind the scenes?

Would make a video how to farm this properly. But I can’t, if a streamer/youtuber want a tour I’ll show you.

Already 3+ people here doing it, but they are doing it wrong. Too slow and ineffective to reach the said gold from title.

Because they really will nerf it if it becomes too much of a hot spot. T_T

But until then, a slew of players rush in, party up to drive the drop volume up and we win in the short term.

Although I will say it’s a classic example of my brother’s favorite saying “I’ll show YOU, F&#$ ME!”

Its kind of not true actually. I used to do it with 226/276 mf and I even got times when i barely hit 4-5g a hour. Once i had like 8rare with a lot of scales but that happened once…

Seems like a decent spot, very similar to the shark/tuna farm on Southsun Cove before they nerfed it.

Last time I did it I had around 30 T6 and 60+ scales. + A few golds, and trash, net worth around 14g. I does rely a bit on RNG, but it is a good farm. Every time I’ve done it, it has resulted in around the same amount of mats. Gold gained depends on TP prices.

Far best for underwater farming is an engineer. Pull at least 10 mobs and melt them in 2-3s.

Did anet nerf karkalandia sharks? I think that they did.

Dunno how it was in the past – the past two times I ran them (maybe over the past 4-6 weeks?) it was abysmal (no pun intended) scale drops that were a waste of time.

ANet should just remove gold as a reward. The only way to get gold is through buying gems with $$$ and convert to gold. Everyone’s problem solved.

Let me guess: you’ve gotten tons of armored scales already and want this spot nerfed so their prices go up… hence the post. Am I right?

I used to do this, and could never get more than 5 armored scales/hr with more MF than the OP. Either he has had ridiculously good luck, or he’s lying about the range. My money’s on the second. The rate I’ve gotten with today’s market would probably be anywhere from 1-5g/hr, no more than that.

You are farming armored scales in the wrong place . I get 5 armored per 5-10 minutes in other place.

PS: I have 200% MF base, and run buffs, yeah.

Anet should just remove everything, they should make it so that nothing drops and you only get items from chests might as well they nerf everything and make things drop greys or nothing at all.

They should just nerf everything to the point where you only sit in the character select screen.

Not just the loading screen… (Red Rocket Attached) >.>

Please share all the spots so we can get rid of them. So GW2 can finally be the game it’s supposed to be.

HAHAHA! You mean they’ll finally get rid of Ascended, remove the grind and make combat challenging instead of just AFK and press 1? If you think THIS will make the game “the way it’s supposed to be”, you’ve never seen the manifesto or even played Guild Wars 1.

Ascended gear has it’s place in the game. Playing content that is not rewarding due to gem store does not.

Things should take time, but nerf upon nerf time and time again clearly proves> That Anet wants a strict themepark game where every single reward is daily and you are not allowed to do content more than one time each day. If you do you will be punished.

I played GW1 on and off for 5+ years and there I could do whatever content that was made by the devs, how often I wanted and when I wanted to, and get the rewards.

Gem Stores 2, the game on rails. GW1 is my favorite MMO of all the ones I’ve played.
It started as a indie company that got funded by NCsoft. Sadly they got greedy and you see the results, a mediocre gaming experience that could of been so much more if they went with expansions and did not design their sequel around RMT.

And by removing all the farming spots, we really are making GW2 the game it’s supposed to be: The Gem Store.

They removed farm in early level zones for fork sake. There are tons of other ways to get levels and money without annoying new players and making their experience tedious from the start. Go to Orr, Frostgorge Sound or Gendarran Fields. It’s not that hard, seriously. xD Wth?

Oh… Nice call out. * claps *

Gems are onsale now! You can convert 100 gems for 7.5g with a quick swipe of your credit card. This deal wont last forever.

\

That is just the beginning. See it seems the devs have caught onto the fact that a level 80, can kill mobs faster than a level 20. So they are gonna experiment with a new feature… No xp from mob kills in open world, no loot from mob kills in open world. The ONLY xp and loot will come from dungeons but at 10 % what they give out now.

The gem store will have a a new item… " XP scrolls."

This may not be the ultimate destination, but it seems this is the direction the game is going. Is it ok to travel in that direction if you do not arrive at the ultimate destination? Anet is taking us there, does it seem to anyone they are slowing down?

Darkobra.6439:

The way this is going, this is less a game with a Gem store. This is becoming a RMT Gem Store that has a game attached. The Game is the excuse that draws people in… the real reason they are in the game, is to shop.

At this rate, no players either.

you spoiled kiddies r complaining about things you dont understand, they have to cut back on the loot in pavillion or prices would crash and the game would be even less rewarding,

you look at an event and you say “i dont like the outcome so it was stuipid” did you even once think “mayb its better than the alternative”

The sharks where changed long ago, just after the last LS on Southsun I think.

I believe the answer is no to that question. Someone on another thread bragging about getting hundreds of gold in some other game early on, did not mention that everything you need or want to buy is sold by other players for thousands just for 2nd tier items.

Oh my god you people are melodramatic. No you can farm, ANet just doesn’t like farmer messing up other peoples introductory experiences to the game. Lets face it the Queensdale train didn’t consist of the nicest people, and a new bright eyed player stepping into the world shouldn’t be subjected to that bs. Go join the train in one of the higher level zones.

Another doomsayer thread, wonder how long before this one gets disproved like that wannabe preacher claiming the apocalypse six different times.

There are still a lot of farmspots like that, however the difference is that those can’t be zerged, so that you can solo farm or maybe duo, but it is not possible that 50 persons can get all loot there from the same mob.

Also .. DR doesn’t work on crafting mats, so you can safely farm those spots for 10 hours and still will get T5 /T6 mats, only drops of weapons/armor get less after a while.

And RNG is of course also a factor .. i often look what i’ve got after farming 30 minutes mobs for blood/claws/fangs and it could be something from 1-12. I also still think that MF doesn’t affect crafting mats, since i don’t get really more now with 180% MF than i got last year with 70% when farming the same mobs.

10-15g sounds however nice, i get more like 6-8 maybe .. but i also hate underwater

And of course, the same spot gave me only 2-3g last year, since it doesn’t generate gold but only gives you money when selling the items to other players, so the money is directly affected by current TP prices and also removes money from the game.

Champ trains and Farming are two different things, fyi.

Hello, fellow trading post player! Wait. You can’t be. If you were you’d understand economics and how prices fluctuate on supply AND demand.
