Guild Wars 2

Both my leg are broken with screw and kitten. Have to lay in my bed for 3 weeks.It sucks i cant even go to toilet guys. So i deciced to make some hardocre farming test now Anet nerfed the champion chests. If you know what a pindle run is you ll probably like this farm

I started with FROSTGORGESOUND CHAMPION ZERG TRAIN.

Schedule : Monday to Saturday (6days).
7hours per day except only 5 Saturday. 40 hours of pure farming.

Path : Fish —-> Kodan —-> Norn —-> Wurm —-> Troll —-> Drake (+quaggan if pop)

I started this with 1 gold, empty bank and 90 MF.
Im a necro using the +32MF while under boon food

At this end and before opening all chest i have 14g only (Selling ore/wood/leather from recycle,some crap exo, unid dyes and all those useless minor rune). My MF is now 106 %
I farmed 1758 chests, wich is 1758/40 = 43,95 chests per hour.
I also ended with all the mats you see in the screenshot. I was killing EVERYTHING before the champs pops to maximize gold per hour.

After opening all the chest this is what i got before selling. Note that i recycled all except exotic wich i ll sold to TP (18 exo in chests wich means 1.02 % exo per chest) ;
I have gained 80 gold just by opening chest so 4,5 silver per chest. It was way more before this week´s nerf.

After selling i ended up with 292 gold wich is a 292/40 : 7,3 gold/hour ratio.
After mass clicking My MF is now : 118 %
I have also gained 282 skill scroll.

Conclusion :

PRO

- Nice way to make nobrainer farming while queuing for WvW
– Gold per hour ratio is not bad at all
– You can do this easily

CON

- BORING AS HELL. Do this with friend in a party or listen music/videos
– CHAT is annoying, had to hide it 90% of the time.
– You can miss champ if you dont run fast enough/Have long map loading. Better be in a party for 1 hit = tag.
– Nerfed by Anet so you dont gain much gold just by opening chests
– Trolls can kill one champion not in the good order and break train for minutes.
– Not the best way to make gold

Note : Keybinding is weird cuz mouse.

So much free space in your inventory. Please share your secret lol.

Anyway. This might help you in the future. You can drastically reduce the number of essences.

Lol thanks for that tip. I just waste 30 minutes clicking on those.

Thanks for presenting that information, now I don’t feel so bad for just doing my daily and 2 paths of AC and CoF because I know its roughly the same gold/hr. Did you by chance take xp into account? How many skill point scrolls did you pick up?

Ups forget about scroll point : 282 !

Sorry about your broken legs (ouch) but appreciate the research. I’ve done the champ farm a few times but since I’m holding on to the mats right now, it was hard to tell exactly how profitable it was.

And btw click on the right upper thing in your inventory to merge all your bags !

Thanks for the information. I have been known to ride the train, so to speak while waiting for something else such as a temple run or WvW, but other than that, it’s definitely not something I wish to spend more than a few hours a week on.

Hope you feel better soon! I only spent 2 weeks on crutches, and I will never ever ever ever laugh when I hear about someone doing something stupid and spraining an ankle ever ever again…(no… will not say what I did…ever…)

I spent my two weeks going for a title…almost done now, but the last thing I have to do is the proverbial kitten of the bunch…

back OT:

Is there another zone other than Q’dale that has events tied to their champs? I’d like to see about getting mid-range mats, and complete events as well…

Your server must be horrible because chat is one of the reasons I like champ farm.

Frostgorge and some players still do Orr (highly nerfed) , might have to guest when trying to get a Orr train. And of course there’s the Kessex Hill/Labyrinth train for monthlies, dailies, spores and candy corn during the 2 weeks. (try guesting)

Im glad they nerfed the dust. was a pain in the rear. gold isn’t too bad i guess.

So killings champions in this game is now a troll act? Good thing they nerfed it : I can’t even kill a champion in Queensdale with my newbie friend without getting threats of being reported

block, report and move on, have them report you for killing something that’s in the game, I doubt Anet would even bother reading the complaint

You seriously need to find yourself a better server if that is the case. The rampant stupidity of some players in this game is mind boggling, and I’m sorry it ruined your and your friends experience of the game.

But this also opens up the question as to why in hell Queensdale get’s so many champions as a starter area while all the other races are virtually left with nothing at all. Because quite frankly that never made any sense to me either why is that map so harshly favored over all the other ones.

I can totally understand human is the most played race in the game, but if every zone had their own Queensdale so to speak things would be much fairer. Or heck even better would be to remove all those darn champions from Queensdale and let Queensdale be what it is a starters zone, just like every other races.

The only starter area that is a bit shorter on champions is Wayfarer Foothills.
The actual number of champions in each of the starter areas.

Plains of Ashford 10
Queensdale 6
Caldedon Forest 6/7 (forgot if Xolotl drops anything)
Metrica Province 5 (there are 6 but the steam ogre doesn’t count since it requires a charged matrix cube key each time)
Wayfarer Foothills 3

You might have a point if the argument is that the ones in Queensdale have a faster respawn rate.

Alright, just looking at gold here. This nets 2gp/hr of pure gold. That’s an acceptable amount of gold entering the system.

hey OP, sorry to hear about your legs,
I am in almost exactly the same position because I just had knee surgery and have to stay in bed for 6 weeks, so you have my sympathies.

It never occurred to me to do champ farming though ( I have never done it)- it is interesting to see the info laid out like that, so thanks.

My boredom threshold and the fact that I am currently having to play on a work lap top means that it is not something I will do.

I am however having a lot of fun levelling my last 3 alts- currently concentrating on my necro

good luck and keep entertained

Thx for the kind word.

But i have Walking dead to watch and i think im gonna make another test farm week !

Guess they didn’t nerf this enough. CoF P1.. the “king” of all farms 3 months ago only net 6g/hr.

Guess that’s inflation for ya.

what server bro? need gold asap.

playandchill.3908:

- Trolls can kill one champion not in the good order and break train for minutes.

This is what’s wrong with champion trains, you assume people killing a champ are trolling, while 2-5 players questing together in an area can kill a champ just because they encounter it, and get rage from the entire train. Champion killing is as much the right of the players that just encounter it as it is for the train. Get over yourself.

Nah im talking about real troll that say in the cat " WE ARE GOING TO DESTROY THE TRAIN". They dont care about champiojn, they just want to kitten of the zerg.

Sometimes small group of players kill champ/do guild mission and i have no problem with it. They have the right to do so. Most of the time they join the zerg after

If you factor in SP → gold conversion then you’re really getting closer to 10.5g/hr which is still pretty kitten good.
