This vs Raptor Farming

I kinda want to see people's opinions on this. They kill similar amounts in similar times but they have distinct differences. To begin with, raptor farming kills a boss, which can yield elite tomes and passage scrolls (not that these are worth much though). In comparison, vaettirs drop glacial stones, which can be used for glacial gauntlets (but these arent worth much either). This doesnt require a certain professions, while raptor farming does (not worth much but is worth noting). From my experience and others talking about it, raptor farming seems to have a relatively high failure rate (~30% for the average person, needs confirmation) due to getting buttraped or interrupted or not getting enough adrenaline or something. This, however, is very consistent and has a low failure rate. A bad run would be where the aggro doesnt form a ball quickly and you only kill 20-25 vaettir, while with raptors u get nothing. If anybody wants to comment on this, it would be appreciated. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 00:14, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Ermmm, more drops from vaetirs?--ValeV 00:49, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Also different rep points. Spaggage talk 01:18, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

True, different rep points, but if the average vaettir drops more than the average raptor, fuck raptor farming, this would pwn it. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 02:14, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

vaettirs take forever to ball but they do drop a lot of golds--Relyk 02:19, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

raptors drop a lot of golds too. Also, any prof can raptor farm, there are generic builds that work fine. Raptors get a bonus point for being able to merch your drops without having to run through an entire map over again. 68.48.197.219 07:52, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

If it actually works.

I'm gonna test it today on my ranger with the appropriate runing and weapons. I'll check in later to tell the results. Shia78 08:46, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

I havent tested it on rangers, so if it doesnt work, sorry. Ive had success on my ele, but a ranger might have trouble with energy due to the low energy pool. Although rangers do take half damage since their attacks are elemental. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 15:44, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Looks nice, I'll try it with my ele. But I have 2 questions: 1. is r5 enough? 2. is it in HM or NM? Fleshcrawler Soban 19:56, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Hm. And i really dont know if r5 is enough. It might be but the lowest ive tested it with is r8. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 20:12, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Added a video, so u dont have to test for working-ness anymore. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 22:45, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Posting a better quality and work video. I also do the South group, time to do both is ~2m20.Volko 19:26, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

warrior primary

can this be run on a warrior primary?

You would probably need full on radiant runes, but I don't see why not. -- Drah 17:58, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

You would also need an energy giving off-hand (no shield) because u need a little less than 40 energy for this to work and warriors can only get 20 (base) + 8 (insignias) + 5 (sword) = 33, so the 6 from an off-hand is required. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 20:35, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Works

It does work, and can yield some decent results, however, I think the wolf caves are better farm with a slightly longer run for both loot and norn points.

What wolf caves? Kveldulf? They take way too long to get to and there are many fewer of them. --- Ressmonkey (talk) 20:25, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Wolfs=fail... varretais farm takes abou 1 min 30secs and can rezone for speed. compared to wolf farming u would have to resign to gunnars and run to the cave again. -- Elf-e 12:25, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
