T6 Mat Farm Guide
Much like many players, I'm dirt poor. I developed these runs in conjunction with a freind of mine. We're both working on Legendaries (Frostfang for him, Moot for myself) and don't really want to pay for our Gifts of Might and Magic. To remedy this, we're farming up all our T6 Mats.
This guide includes farms for:
Vicious Fang/Vials of Powerful Blood Farm
Link to map
Here you will be killing Reef Skelk. Basically run from the Cove, north up the beach and back down, very simple.
Recommended Skills:
Powerful Venom Sac Farm
Link to map
Here you are killing Reef Riders (and young Reef Riders). We basically run around in a circle, klling all the falls in our path.
Recommended Skills:
Vicious Claw and Ancient Bone Farms
Link to map
Here you are killing the Ice Brood Colossus and Corrupted Quaggan.
Recommended Skills:
Elaborate Totem/Ancient Bone Farm
Link to map
Here you are killing the Grawl.
Recommended Skills:
Piles of Crystalline Dust/Charged Lodestone + Other Lodestones
(First picture) Here you are primarily killing the Sparks and Air Elementals + Vets. There is also Ice Elementals(Corrupted Lodestones) and Embers (Onyx Lodestone or Molten?) within the ring. There are multiple Veterans. You will need to open the Temple of Lyssa for this one.
(Second Picture) Here you are killing ONLY Sparks and Air Elementals. There is four total veterans. An event will spawn where a champion risen knight will appear. You will need to open the Temple of Dwayna for this one.
Note! The drop rate on the Charged Lodestone is low (as compared to say, the Corrupted Lodestones). The drop rate on the Crystalline dust is kind-of low, but factoring in the amount of incandescent dust that drops, the value of charged lodestones and the value of the Crystalline dust, we figure it's still a decent farm. Shocking Crystals are dropped often, and add up quickly, which can be sold for a good chunk of silver after every 30-40 minutes.
Recommended Skills:
Other notes:
tl;dr: Southsun Cove is a great place to farm.
T6 Mat Farm Guide
Much like many players, I'm dirt poor. I developed these runs in conjunction with a freind of mine. We're both working on Legendaries (Frostfang for him, Moot for myself) and don't really want to pay for our Gifts of Might and Magic. To remedy this, we're farming up all our T6 Mats.
This guide includes farms for:
- Vicious Fangs
- Ancient Bone
- Vials of Powerful Blood
- Elaborate Totems
- Powerful Venom Sacs
- Vicious Claws
- Piles of Crystalline Dust
- Corrupted Lodestone
- Charged Lodestone
- Onyx Lodestone
- If the farming zone is full of bots, report them and try guesting on another server!
- MF is highly recommended if you want some more rare drops. I personally use Spicy Pumpkin Cookies. But any MF Consumable is good.
- These are developed to be "semi afkable" so you don't really have to worry about dieing unless you really aren't paying attention.

Other notes:
- I have not yet found a good place to farm Armored Scales outside of the WvWvW Borderlands Central Lake (the Krait there)
- Don't forget, you can promote T5 materials to T6 ones!
- Bring a friend! Having someone else to chat with/run with makes things less dull!
- Listen to music!
tl;dr: Southsun Cove is a great place to farm.
