Lockpick Farms This Weekend

Personally, I thinking getting a run through CoF will probably be the easiest and most effortless way to get lockpicks.

any chances without pve only skills ?

I'll be doing both glacial and raptor farm

oh looks like i need to hide, but how can i hide from melee attacks(raptors) and let ss hit, can u explain me?

that build that Mr. Undisclosed posted is only for farming Zelnehlun + friends in Floodplain of Mahnkelon - you can't farm raptors with that. Zelnehlun is an excellent alternative to Raptor farming if you're sans PvE-only skills.

I have a question. Would you get more lockpicks in Nm or Hm when farming the rapters and by how much?

Here's a post I created awhile back showing what kind of drops I got in roughly 30 minutes of raptor running.Basically a minute a run.

Raptors if i feel like it, otherwise just my reg farm spots and hope for more keys ^^

I think lockpicks will drop most from raptors but even with the triple bonus weekend, I would think it would be no more than 1-2 picks every run so yea pretty mind numbing grind...

On a side note I also saw someone say they'll just do CoF, which usually does have a good amount of picks drop in a run. Are any of the runners planning on charging more for runs? or same prices, I wouldn't be surprised if I see more people increase the price of a run to 2.5k or maybe even 3k? I mean if everyone gets more lockpicks then the run is that much more beneficial? Not to mention the fact that each CoF run has anywhere from 7-10 chest allowing you to work on your unlucky/lucky title. Let me know what you all think.

Doubt CoF prices will rise, 2.5k wouldn't be considered going up since thats a pretty average price. I never go under 2.5 and always get a full group within 30 seconds or so.

If HM Nephila's is good enough then this works well

[whirling defense][dodge][winnowing][Troll Unguent]

if you've got it [dwarven stability] works well too but its far from essential

max'd expertise, take a sword (of defense) and a shield, no elite, easy to get skills makes this a winner IMO
TBH you can do it with just dodge and whirling, 2 skills on a bar HM farming? thats hardcore! ;o)

Sorry to ask a stupid question but I just got gwen, what map am I looking for to find the good rap spawns that everyone talks about. Thanks.

Anyone know a Devrish skills mainly build for farming raptors? Or anything I can't seem to find one anywhere.

I get alot of lockpick drops from farming HM Stone Eles outside Sardelac...you might try that as well.
