Let's get right down to it. I'm sure many of us remember Cursed Shore (Penitent/Shelter/Plinx/Jofast) being THE place to farm until a certain nerf. iirc this nerf included the addition of an escort mission for Jofast, and the rate of which these events spawned being increased. Since then most players turned to the sheepish, rather underwhelming and minimally profitable champ farming.

Consider this: could Cursed Shore farming be more viable and more profitable now than it was back in it's hayday? Anybody who's done Melandru 2nd beacon, Arah secure reinforcements, or Grenth protect phase after the introduction of account-wide magic find knows how ridiculous the drop rate of rares and exotics can be while tagging mobs of Risen.

Champ bags could still be obtained while farming Penitent/Shelter, because if there are enough players champions spawn as a part of the event.

If some believe that the rate of which the events spawn is too far between, then there are even plenty of champions to farm in the meantime (such as the champ Abomination, the Ooze, the one champion Risen guarding the skill point outside of Shelter's, etc.)

I look forward to your guys' thoughts. I firmly believe that if we could somehow herd all the sheep farming in Queensdale/Frostgorge and coax them to graze where the grass is MUCH greener, then we'd all be making a lot more money.

My IGN is Knockout Flow, i play on Jade Quarry, i'm always down to take part in any activities that involve testing this out or gathering people or spreading trashy propoganda or herding sheep.

I already lead CS farm occasionally. Last time I did it, we had enough people to spawn 6 champs (max spawn) per event. However, having said that, I also haven't been playing much recently at all.

i've had a couple successful runs just to prove it's still viable, but what i'm trying to do here is have a group there 24/7 like CS was one year ago. that's gonna be the tricky part.

#occupycursedshore is trending in map chat all over JQ. word is a-buzzin'

Nice. Good luck!

But, tbh, I don't see it happening 24/7.Too many people dislike CS.

i'm not too sure about that! this idea is gaining incredible momentum and i'm getting more supporters for the cause than i ever anticipated to begin with.

i'm starting a goddamn revolution here!

get a set time on when you want to do it, make sure you really want to commit to making it worth while...and I'll join

otherwise I always forget, never on at the ideal times anymore to join in on this

It'd definitely be nice if it does though since when I do it, I end up spamming all the maps I go to prior to doing it, bring guildies, and anyone else who added me from past runs.
