Talk:Dessicated Hydra Claw

I salvaged 15 claws in a row using a normal salvage kit. I got 7 scales once, 5 scales 3 times and 6 scales 11 times. If someone thinks that's enough claws to be statistically valid, they could add the info, FWIW.

This build works like a charm in HM. Fleeting Stability solves the Meteor interrupt problem. Piece of cake! Myko Ducor 15:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * crank up the smite and prot and add any extra into wind prayers or divine favor

 * I used to do this. Even with a crapload (6 or 7) aggroed, it works great.--[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir 16:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's also extremely easy to farm Hydras with a varity of W/Mo builds. I suspect other classes may have viable builds to farm these too. Kalendraf5:54 pm June 1 2009 (CDT)
 * I use the standard 130hp Dervish build and go around the big valley in Skyward Reach, starting and ending at Augury Rock. A run takes about 20-25 mins and I easily get 12-15 claws a run, 800g and some merch crap. Lยкץ๒๏ץ talk  11:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Better to farm these in normal mode
If you're attempting to farm for claws, don't use hard mode. Use Normal mode instead. As the wiki tallies for Hydra drops clearly indicate (http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Drop_rate/Hydra), the chance of getting a collectable drop is significantly reduced in hard mode: ~23.4% in NM vs. ~14.6% in HM.
