Hey guys, i was wondering, where would be the best place to farm this weekend for the triple LP drops? Currently, im thinking of HM raptor's in Riven Earth, however what do you think? perhaps we could make a list of places?

I think that the raptors will be the best way to farm them.

Is it true that raptors more commonly drop holiday/event items, not just golds/dyes? but yes so far it seems raptors are the most prominent option. GO GO ASSASSIN FAST NUKER. i would post the build with the little tab thingys, but i dont know how

I don't remember the runes, so I did it without them...

Yeah thats pretty much it exept i use Dark Escape instead of mindbender (too lazy to go get it), swap flame djinns for fire attunement, and just use glyph of sacrifice before i enter the cave, pull, then SF press 45678 and collect my drops

also im an assassin primary, and i use a caster ele sword i got while farming them and a +15-1 offhand. I also use a Superior Shadow Arts rune. (anyone else pumped about the extended duration ?

farming lockpicks is bullshit, if you farm raptors while events you maybe get 10-20 picks the hole weekend, wow, im farming raptors for 3 f*cking days to get 30-60 picks? CRAP! and if theres a bonus on a regained lockpick, id rather farm chests like hell to push my lucky title instead wasting time in that cave

The frostmaw dungeon usually gives lots of lockpicks, I remember getting 6 one time I did it in HM. The triple drop rate probably doesn't affect chests or hidden chests, but there are good masses of enemies (10 wurm popups). With the quest reward and the random items that are dropped you usually get around 5-6k before the lockpicks are factored in.

Probably not as good as raptor farming but definitely less mind numbing.

Personally I'll be chest running. Even with triple drop rates you probably wont be making much, and double unlucky/lucky is too good to pass up.

There may be people selling a few picks here and there for <1.25k, but probably not much.

Is the raptor farm only doable with a A/E? Would E/A work too?
