Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/champion-rush-begins-next-week/ Nobody seems to be talking about this yet. Farming central champions seems like it would be a little bit more difficult than world bosses. Particularly because we haven't done it in a long time. So, there are a few places I remember there being plenty of champions: In Frostgorge Sound, there's still the old rotation of Ice Troll, Corrupted Quaggan, and the Triple Threat in the north-western corners of the map. I'm not sure if the non-experience granting champions count, so I'm hesitant to suggest clustering around the Claw of Jormag to farm the champs that spawn during the event. For lower levels, Kessex hills still has plenty of champions. The only three I remember are the Krait Witch, the Toxic Spider, and that one Champion Centaur, but I'm fairly certain there are more there. When it comes to events, Cursed Shore also has a champion grind. From the Temple Events, to the Toxic Ooze, Champion Giant, Champion Abomination, Rottbeard, Broodmother, and the Risen Shark at the very far southern corner of the map. There are many dynamic events that will just spawn champions as they go on, if they get enough people. I'm probably going to head here myself, both because the risen potions allow for quick slaughtering, and all of the fodder enemies give plenty of drops. However, my memory fails me. Does anyone have any other particular locations or strategies for champion farming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Probably FGS as it's the only consistent, non-stop champ farm that I can think of other than CS. Edit: That is unless someone finds another broken event to spawn infinite champs or instanced champs (e.g. dungeons) count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaverick.6104 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Frostgorge will be popular. So will Cs... and some of the lower level champs will never be there if you look for them to solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolLookAtMyAP.8394 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I'd love if Anet temporarily changed some veteran mobs to champs in some zones (Queensdale?). Only just for the Champion Rush event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only just for the Champion Rush event. No. We don’t need the vitriol train to come back. It’s already going to be bad enough on CS and FGS with people claiming they own the champs on the map.

This, I'm saving up all my bounties and bandit marks :P I wonder if the legendary executioners also count... Also this https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_champions Best places Malchor's Leap = 16 Cursed Shore =15 Fields of Ruin = 13 Frostgorge Sound = 10 There's also Diessa Plateau, eveytime I go there, there's always a giant attacking Nageling (pretty certain it's a permanent feature now :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobx.1758 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 If it's "one per day per champion", then pretty much whatever. If it's not, then bandits :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they got this golden circle they are champions mates. ![](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/thumb/d/d4/Champion_rank.jpg/300px-Champion_rank.jpg "") Edit My bad world bosses are Epic not legendary, still dont count tho- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guillotine Princess.9341 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 If all champions count, then we could simply coordinate and fill maps like Sparkfly Fen for example and kill the champ Krait that spawn if the enemies scale up properly along with the population. On another note will the champion tower and keep lords in world versus world count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luthan.5236 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Do we even know the full details on this rush yet? I guess similar to world boss rush with bar - but since not all champs might have events they might add extra loot as direct drop. (Or it is limited to event champs and a extra reward chest popping up in the UI like with world boss.) I'll go for the last tier reward (tonic or something like that again I think) only - trying to participate at least for a few champs while in each tier though ... and getting my missing bandig champs. I think they might use these events regularly - making it easier for new players to get world boss and champ related achievements. Together with annual achievements for recurring festivals they might slow down the pace for new story content then. (Less room in between festivals and stuff likr boss/champion rushes - where they are "forced" to fill up with new content.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
