Guild Wars 2

Farming for scraps sucks. I’m trying to craft my ascended and Linen is as common as the dodo. What does everyone do to pass the time while they run around in circles hitting the same enemies for hours?

I don’t do that because I just cannot stand doing the same repetitive action for even an hour, let alone for multiple hours. I guess if I did farm, I’d put on a movie nearby or listen to a podcast.

I play where I want, but I give all containers that give gear tied to your char’s level to a level 53 char to open.

Find something more enjoyable to do that offers other rewards, perhaps gold, and then buy the mats for crafting?

Farming for anything is dull for me. So I do stuff that’s fun for me, sell valuables, salvage the rest, and buy whatever I need off the TP.

I suppose, if I were ever to farm a mat, I would play in the map that offers it as a Map Event Reward, give the pertinent loot bags to my L53, salvage the level-appropriate gear myself, salvage or sell the rest on the TP, sell extra mats on TP, and then buy any extra material I needed. Or I might craft some of the collection gear that sells very well, and use the Gold to buy what I need.

I certainly would not target a specific type of mob. That’s just too slow for me. It’s not like it used to be in Guild Wars, but maybe that’s because I was often farming for Trophies, rather than mats, and those seem to drop more often. /shrug

Good luck.

If you have lots of karma, there’s a way. Buy a certain level cloth armor from karma vendors (the one south of LA has the right one) and mystic forge it. You’ll get items you can then salvage into linen. It’s still boring, but it’ll break up running around killing the same enemies.

A portable forge helps with this strat, so much. Which reminds me, I have a good 200k karma to burn on this.

Netflix + fractal 40 farm = Profit.
