I'm a PvE player, and enjoy exploring the land at its brightest and darkest places.

If you are familiar with the build, read more about the theory and analysis of it in User:Foo/GoM/Theory.
AFK Hero Team[edit]
A hero setup for AFKing in various places:
- Zos Shivros Channel Luxom Farm - Start the mission, stand near the Priest, and came back the next day to dump faction and restart. 3k faction/hour.
- Amatz Basin Kurzick Farm - Start the mission, stand as shown in the picture, and restart every ~15 minutes. ~2k faction/run.
- The Ebony Citadel of Mallyx Gemstone Farm - start the quest, stand near the Priest, and come back 15 minutes later to pick up the loot.

- Mesmers and ele set to "fight", others to "guard".
- 40/40 for Mesmers and Necros, otherwise staves with +20% ench.
- Prodigy, Bloodstained + Torment, or otherwise Blessed insignias.
- Sup vigs, Sup dom/fc/death/air/es/blood/comm, others major or minor. Vitae on spare slots.
This build intentionally uses only 2 Mesmers and no Monks (for the sake of other setups...)
Insc non-gold Chaos Axe farm[edit]
There is only one place in the game where inscribable non-gold Chaos Axes, Shadow Shields, Shadow Blades, Shadow Staffs, and Shadow Bows drop, and that's The Floodplain of Mahnkelon during the quest Drakes on the Plain.
The trick for an easy and fast run is to only farm the two Obsidian Furnace Drakes right outside Moddok Crevice. These Drakes are above a cliff, so they can't reach the player with their attacks or projectiles.
- Take Koss (which is required for the quest) and Get out of Moddok Crevice.
- Flag Koss far into the pool to your south west, and walk back towards the portal to agro the Obsidian Furnace Drakes above the cliff. (See image).
- Wait a minute for the initial drop rate reduction to pass. (This is a good time to set up another account for the farm).
- Kill the two Obsidian Furnace Drakes... (see below).
- If you got any worthwhile drops, run through the floodplain to pick those up. (See image).
The Drakes are out of reach and out of sight and have Obsidian Flesh, so the fight can't relay on close proximity, on projectiles, or on spells not cast at the beginning of the fight.
This bar relies on a few quick spells, signet based conditions, and Necrosis:

When the two drakes are close enough to each other, they can be killed with a simple 1-2-3-tab-2-4-5-6.
The fight-resoze-rezone-flag-grab-agro sequence (up to the wait) can take about 45 second, and inscribable items drop at an estimated rate of 1 per ~30 runs.
Solo W/R FoW Spider Cave Farmer[edit]
Farm the Fow spider cave for obs shards and other goodies using a warrior with high armor and Melandru's Resilience.
