For making money...options.

You guys think it would be faster to farm vaettir for festival drops and unids or do JQ and exchange faction for balth to get zkeys and sell zkeys? I am so torn.

Farming vaettirs imo. with the drops atm you get close to 2k a run in festive drops alone. if you id the golds then thats about 200g per gold to merch, 500-700 if you sell to ppl. and sometimes more if you id them yourself and sell the mods.

I think doing vaettir farming would be more reliable. The wait for JQ can be terrible, and you're not always going to win, and even if you do, you'll be getting a key every other game, even assuming all victories and no defeats. Maybe every game if you're lucky. Vaettir farming, however, is hard to fail if you know what you're doing. I'd stick to vaettirs.

Vaettir farming is a safe bet. They are always there, you can't fail, it takes less stress, however you get less.

In JQ it's another story, an avarage match would be 7-10 mins providing that you win it you could get quite a lot of money out of it. And since it's during an event, people should be up for it no matter what.

Can I Vaettir farm without that faction specific skill I see in all the builds? Warrior main... :-/

As a Warrior main you might be better off with the raptor farm.

Don't both require some faction skills? I don't think I have any of them...

Use the Dervish.

No Factions skills at all.

I only have a Warrior main... Well I got the Raptor farm going tonight using this:

But I cannot kill the boss. There are two issues... One is even without using incoming (only one IMS), the raptors on the east side don't follow me, they lose aggro. Second of all, when I kill them all, the boss has nearly all her health... and she kills me.
