brappish.8715 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I looked around a bit and nothing really came up regarding the most profitable methods. Most people say the same thing about Istan. However, Istan kinda seems slow? Most likely im just doing it wrong :/ Anyway whats your most Profitable Karma farm? Currently sitting at about 200k and I need a good 500k more to finish Aurora?

Ayrilana.1396 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Depends on how quickly you need it. Istan, with the max karma buff, is probably the quickest so long as you join a map doing the farm and tag everything. What I’ve been doing are the quick LS3 and LS4 dailies and I’ve been getting about 22K a day for about 15 min of work. Probably 10 min if I cared to be quicker. Also, when doing the LS3 dailies, you can get UM which you can use to by obsidian shards. On top of the above, and doing a single berry node farm on one character, I can usually by 25 shards a day. You can certainly by more if you actively farm berries. That’s probably the most efficient and quickest way to obtain obsidian shards quickly.

phs.6089 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Ill repeat that Istan, Istan with lv3 [karmic retribution](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Karmic_Retribution_(Domain_of_Istan) "karmic retribution"). you get 200 karma for single kill regardless of mob type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpelion.4562 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The absolute best time is during Wintersday (which obviously doesn't help you out right now). I have 1 character with max buffs up who does the orphans each day and then I camp bell choir until I'm sick of it (and bell choir isn't even the best option, its just really easy to run a perfect streak in if you don't have internet latency so I can do it while my brain is in low power mode).

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Just about any events on Jahai Bluffs (with Karmic Retribution active) are great, as is the pre-event for Sandswept's Specimen Chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I do a Tequatle every day. With food, guild and banner karma buffs I average around 15k karma for that event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycko Larsson.7829 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 When I am in need of karma I run Ember Bay and Siren's Landing. Killing things to fill the hearts. With full karmic retribution. Takes about 30-40 min and nets about 60000 karma. Worst round I got was just shy of 40000 best I got was about 100000 in one round.

Ayrilana.1396 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I’d start by farming Bitterfrost Frontier first for the berries as that will be the best use of your time until you run out of characters. With the standard five characters, you should easily get 50 shards in under an hour. This is from converting berries to UM and buying shards from vendor. That there translates to 105,000 karma.

Klipso.8653 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I don't even know what to use my karma on, I have almost 5 mil I think? I just never saw the point in getting those karma boosts for LW maps since I really don't ever use this currency outside of buying obsidian shards once every 9 months or so from the temple of Balthazar. What are you guys farming it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent millions of karma getting all karma weapons and armor skins from core Tyria. That wiped me out. Now I getting karma for the mini pets and other items such as the Protype Position Rewinder (very useful on jumping puzzles) offered by heart NPCs on the new maps.

I think she means Obsidian and thus if you need obsidian, you can save on spending karma on obsidian shards by buying them with unbound magic from.. winterberries.

Im also saving for the sirens landing backpack collection. That needs 2-3 mil karma The backpack collection just requires 1,5b karma (315k x 5). I got 6b karma last wintersday, doing the bell choir and only spent 1b this year (mainly on that collection indeed).

If that’s what he meant then mining my guild’s [Ore Synthesizer](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ore_Synthesizer) in Windswept Haven gives me karma. I usually get a couple of Obsidian Shards each day from that node (with a rare chance of getting 10 Shards). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brappish.8715 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 I need the remanding Karma for aurora. 400k more and ill be done. Tequatl was a good one to do last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehipone.6812 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Inquest killing in Sandswept with karmic retribution. There are big packs of fast respawning inquest near the magnetics lab and a few other places. Do specimen chamber pre-event when up. Awakened inquest in Kourna also work. Iboga in Istan could be decent, but evergreen stone prices really cratered. For any of these you get loot, karma and volatile magic. Win win. For 400k karma you're probably looking at almost 4 hours of farming though. 500-600 kills per hour, probably about 10 gold worth of loot, couple more gold worth of volatile magic, and about 100k karma/hr.
