Drizzlewood WHOLE Sunday Farm! - Roadmap and explainations


Recommended Posts


Hello everyone!

Probably at least half of gw2 players know the things like, Drizzlewood Coast map meta is most profitable meta in whole game. The reason why I started this thread is, i want to gather all Drizzlewood Commanders and players, who are interested in getting max profit from this meta, in one place.
Please be kind to everyone in here, dont be rude, and dont blame speedmeta players, because Arenanet made this meta how they made it (faster=more gold)

So what exactly topics name means?
Drizzlewood WHOLE Sunday Farm, lets say, is Commuinity Event in Drizzlewood Coast map which will take whole sunday from morning to evening, every week. Of course we all have REAL LIFE surprisingly 😄, and there will be always some exceptions. Why Sunday? Because for most of us its the one and only free day in whole week, exceptions - familly meetings/ dinners are also important, so everything within common sense.

To all Commanders 
If you would like to support my idea, please leave you Drizzlewood roadmap (and roughly time) in next messages, i will copy it and place it in here at end of this post.
What means Drizzlewood RoadMap? Simply! The most common way you lead the meta.

What the roadmap should include?
Commander name
Roughly, time when you can lead meta
South &North/ South or North
The way how peoples should follow your commands (when, why and where squad should use EMP, RC, mounts skills etc.)
Camps and events tagging order

My Roadmap:
1 Commander Duraximus Boone
2 Every whole Sunday and almost everyday on evenings.
3 South&North, so full run mostly.
4 The way how i lead meta:

 South
IMPORTANT!
Please have EMP(good to have v2.0)  always with you, it will helps you tag mobs in events, which can grand you event participation and brown/silver/gold event reward even if there is short time limit left on event. EMP have huge range so it can tag mobs even out of reach of your regular skills.
Tag every event possible for max rewards and keys from events. Do events rotation everytime possible.
Use Turtles and Remote Charges(good to have v2.0) on camp structures
Call out every Champ spawn while South part going on, link closest POI on squad chatand write CHAMP!

South starts
VLOXEN MINE (VM) & PIERTAJ OVERLOOK (PO)
Start both escorts (VM and PO) and be sure to tag both escorts -  just tag one group of foes (you can use EMP) and go other escort to tag last group (2 enemies group spawn per escort). Since escort reached gates (VM and PO) please use Remote Charges and Turtles on gates. After gate breakes, please be sure to destroy all structures as fast as possible with Turtles and Remote Charges
Remote Charges - gates (you can destroy both for bigger enemies morale drop), Barricades (VM&PO), Wall Supports (PO) - structures always most important for bigger enemies morale drop.
EMP -  use EMP's and focus only on Elite Rank Foes to metl down enemies bar asap.
 This is the way how to melt down camps enemy bar with no time, so it will helps  trigger Camp Lords spawn in few seconds.
After Camp Lord down, there is needed a bit more players to cap PO than VM, more enemies spawns in PO. Tag one cap camp event by dealing good amount of dmg to Camp Lord (use EMP on any other CC skill to melt down defiance bar) , lets say, stay there until 50% Camp Lord HP, then go other camp and stay there until Keep's Lord Chest spawn, grab loot from both chests in both camps.
Now it is verry important to do 1-2 more events in VM or/and PO to reach 150% meta participation BEFORE first evaluation, this is really possible. Thanks to this first two chests from evaluation system (VM and PO) will be Exotic ones (better loot), so first events in VM and PO must be done ASAP.
From now you can do all other camps in two ways:
SINGLE WAY - stay in one of front camps (front camp means camp from where next escort will start to the next camp) and do all events (single amount of keys and event rewards)
ROTATION - switch between camps and tag every event possible in both camps ( chance for doubled keys and event rewards)
Because we reached 150% in meta before first evaluation you can slow down a bit, all next evaluation chests will be exotic until you keep 150-200% of Participation.


FORT DEFIANCE (FD) & PORT CASCADIA (PC)
Since both escorts reached both gates, cap events beginns, and steps are same as in VM and PO.
Remote Charges - gates (you can destroy both for bigger enemies morale drop), Barricades, Trebutch (FD), Turrets (PC) - structures always most important for bigger enemies morale drop.
EMP -  use EMP's and focus only on Elite Rank Foes to metl down enemies bar asap.
After Camp Lord spawns, spam him with EMP or any other good cc-causing skills, like a non-dmg conditions for example.
From now follow SINGLE WAY or ROTATION until morale boost bar fill up. Remember -  Rotation can gives you chance for doubled you keys and rewards from events.
Follow events until 100%morale reached.
 

LEADFOOT VILLAGE (LV) & LIGHTHOUSE POINT (LP)
LV and LP can be captured at same time, just follow escort and camp capturing events in ROTATION to get doubled keys and event rewards (chance).
Remote Charges - gates (you can destroy both for bigger enemies morale drop), Barricades, Tents (LV), Walls Supports (LP)  - structures always most important for bigger enemies morale drop.
EMP -  use EMP's and focus only on Elite Rank Foes to metl down enemies bar asap.
Camp Lord in LP - destroy hes Charr Car (Tank), Spam EMP whenever Defiance Bar is up..
Camp Lord in LV - look for Vishen with Defiance Bar unlocked, and target it for everyone. Spam EMP when Defiance bar is up.

If you follow this way you can get 22(I dont remember exactly) exotic chests from evaluation
5 x VM, 5 x PO, 4x FD, 4x PC, 2x LV, 2x LP - last two (LV and LP) are most profitable chests from all camps, so be sure to deal with every camp asap and reach LV and LP fast enough.
Please be sure morale is high enough in LV&LP just before Wolf Crossing Preparation event starts, sometimes when morale is too low there, the last evaluations chests dont shown up. I dont know its bug or something.
Optimal time too deal with all six camps is 50 minutes  (10 minutes every evaluation x 5 chests from VM and PO)

WOLF CROSSING (WC)
Split for LV and LP  nicely, go with escorts, then spawn 3-4  Waystations - one in every corner in battlefield before WC event starts
TANK PHASE -  use Waystation places on battlefield to get EMP and spam tank with it everytime Defaince bar is up.
VISHEN PHASE - go through portals placed on ground (i always marking it with ARROW marker), stand as close as possible to VISHEN (look out to not been pushed off the cliff),use EMP's when Defiance Bar is up. When Chopter shoots blue aoe dmg,  step back to avoid death, deal range dmg, chopter shoots again, get close to VISHEN  thanks to this you can avoid blue aoe dmg completelly.
Drop down to battlefield after every VISHEN PHASE finish.
After VISHEN and TANK fight is done grab Charrzooka from crates and shot Chopter.

CHAMP TRAIN/CACHE KEEPERS RUSH aka. CKRUSH or Crush
 To tag EVERY champion in this part of meta, you MUST have Griffon/Skyscale mount. Yes it is possible to tag all champs even with skyscale, just use dash ->dash -> vigor -> dash ->dash ->faith - last skill to drop down fast without taking falling dmg.
As a commander i always proritazing linking POI's closest to champs for everyone in squad, over my own loot, even before they spawn. To do that just look over map before champ dies to see next champ spawn marked on map with red circle, and link POI near champ spawn

BRIDGE RACE?! 1/4 mile!
As a fun part while leading squad i orginize race called Bridge Race, just hop on your Beettle Mount, stand in line with others, start and speed up your beetle immediately, then use skill no. 1 at end of bridge to deal some dmg to foes around.

I will update post with south events roadmap (explaining)  and North Part later. Some of my ways really improve profit and timing, and it seems for me some of old Drizzlewood Coast meta guides are out of date. You can treat this post as a kind of guide on how to do DWC better, faster with more profit. Feel free to publish it forward if you like it!
At some point I even consider creating a Discord server for Drizzlewood speedmeta.


Please share you conclusions about what may be done better/faster, share your own tips, better ways of dealing with south part
I skip'd Pack Bulls escorts because i cant see reasons why they are important, speeding up events and camp are over these escorts in my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong, correct me if soo.


PS. English isn't my native language so i can imagine there may be some corrections needed, i will deal with it later if i or anyone will spot any.
There is one more reason why i publish this post, as an old speedclear gw1 player i love to shorten time every time i do something
