Furious Dragons Reign [FDR]

What kind of guild is [FDR]?

Furious Dragons Reign was a friendly, cooperative guild with a social alliance. More focused on PvE than PvP, [FDR] hosts weekend events for their alliance, many of which being elite areas such as Urgoz's Warren, The Deep, Underworld, Fissure of Woe, and Domain of Anguish. Our previous guild leaders Alex and Madeline have retired from Guild Wars waiting for GW2. They are always welcome back into the guild at any time. We also have a Facebook page [FDR Alliance].

Note: In addition to farming for specific items, Craft Trading is one of the fastest ways to gain gold.

Beginner Farming:

For beginners and low-level characters, one starting area could be farming Mantid Pincers in Sunqua Vale, and trade 3 of them to Marik Kuri for one Salvage Kit, Identification Kit or Belt Pouch. Merchants sell these items for 100gp each. One may be able to sell to players for 50gp each (about half way between what the traders are willing to sell and buy). Sunqua Vale is just East of Shing Jea Monastery in Factions. Marik Kuri can be found near the water edge to the south of Sunqua Vale. Repeat mantid pincers farming as needed.
Note 1: the drop rate and quality of the drop will decrease if over-farming in an area. It is recommended to farm, go elsewhere to farm, and come back at another time. In some cases like buried treasure farming, it could take a month or more before the drops/rewards return to normal.
Note 2: since hero(es) and/or hench(es) are part of the party, eventhough you do not see the drops, they will have equal share of the drops including gold coins. To maximize your farming, you may want to farm solo.

Advanced (Solo) Farming: - see Craft Trading page also

Anti-farming rules
Granite Slab/Lump of Charcoal/Gold HM farming with 55-necro, can also be done with SoS
Raptor farming with E/Me in NM, HM, with W/N, with N/W
Feather farming tips and locations
Destroyer Core farming with W/Rt
Elemental Sword farming outside of Rata Sum against Wind Rider (Tarnished Coast)
Buried treasures farming can yield about 20k in cash plus gold drops PER character (not account-based). It is recommend that your character has completed Nightfall. Recommend to farm in Normal Mode since Buried Treasures farming in Hard Mode seems to have no impact on the quality of the treasure. That character will be unable to do Buried Treasures farm again for a period of time. Over-farming will result in lower quality drops (example: purple/grape drops rather than gold drops).
