Hi all,
First time typing a guide pardon my format.

Goal: to achieve 1-2 gold in 30mins

Requirement: MF set is preffered when farming / Explorer set with Scholar runes/ Nobles Sigils.

How To: Go into WVW by pressing B selecting Eternal battle ground. Look for a Sword/Axe icon on the map, it can be in gray/red/green/blue depending on who is holding it. if it is on your server color , do not bother going as there wont be any enemys for you.

What To look for : look for NPC mobs like Hylak/Quaggen/Trolls/Dreggen. all this npc drops equipment and each equipment can be sold for at least 90c to 2s . with 10 bag extension with 12 bag slot and 1 starter 20 bag slot holding 140 items in inventory. it takes about 30 mins to fully fill up the inventory. just by raiding 1-2 NPC camps you will be full.

Selling the item : check on trading post / factoring the fee / if npc is more worth it npc it if not just sell it on TP / i just NPC it normally.

Conclusion: you may set up your mmoviper bot around the area and grind all the nodes on the ground as well.

If you are posting this elsewhere please input credits.
This is just something i figured out and am sharing.
Cheers.

I dont see too many spots that are easily accessible, w/o hacks of course, with a decent amount of mobs to kill that are in nice big groups.

Maybe i'm missing something here, but doing the orr event loops still seems like a better farming method to me.

Sorry, this simply isn't sustainable.
  • Yes, the mobs in WvW occasionally drop nice tradeskill items.
  • No, you cannot farm them consistently manually, much less with Viper.
I suppose this may be useful for folks who just bought GW2 and want a method to earn a nest egg without farming newbie mobs all night long.

Leave it here or move to nerfed?

The information about mobs in WvW dropping good loot has some utility and it's not nerfed, so maybe leave it for those whom it may benefit? (I'm thinking mainly for anyone new to GW2.)

The title may be a little misleading though. I'm not getting anywhere near that (on average) even with full exotic magic find gear + magic find food. To make matters more complicated, the enemy camps are constantly changing and there's always a zerg or mini-zerg moving through to ruin the take.
