Hmm...mountain troll farming...you'd think taking on a whole mob of lvl 24 monsters would be pro's work...not anymore. I was able to kill all the trolls in the caves north of drok's with a level 17 elementalist/monk lol... Yes the ele was my first character. My only others are a lvl 10 n/r and a lvl 10 w/m. Post similar storys here

*shrug* to be fair the trolls can be soloed by anyone with a pulse. That's why the bots whack themm they require very little skill or thinking at at all. I can't stand to solo the things, it puts me into a catatonic state.

=P oh well lol...I did enjoy owning them though lol. Got a good max gold raven staff drop...salvaged to get a perfect insightful staff head or +29hp staff wrapping of fortitude...got wood planks instead...horray.

if you look on elementalist forum im sure you'll find whole bunch of threads describing how to farm trolls (ettins/titans).
Nothing new really...

Farming Warrior mobs has never really been exclusive. It's not all that hard to exploit the weakness of vanilla melee baddies.

Lady Erighan · May 16, 2006, 12:56 PM // 12:56

Yup, you can farm trolls with a lvl 10 ele assuming you had the right skills unlocked.

But now there are bigger and better ways to farm experience...*cough*..."Supplying the Luxons"...cough*

Mournblade · May 16, 2006, 01:14 PM // 13:14

It may be easy, but it still feels good to watch your character knock down 12-16 huge trolls all at once. Good job OP! =)

I have a Mesmer I want to level up and I could never figure out a build that can kill the trolls as fast as Warriors, Monks, or Eles (who has always been able to destroy large mobs of melee enemies). Does anybody know a good troll farming build for Mesmers? Or does anybody know a good running build for Mesmers to do Supplies for Luxon?

Make your secondary warrior or ranger, and load Sprint or stormchaser. I would probbably go ranger, stormchaser is faster and lasts longer and you can also load dodge.

You can also use Illusion of Haste and Illusion of Weakness. Or, just grab 8 henchies to use as meat shields.

pegasux · May 16, 2006, 02:42 PM // 14:42

yeah the meat shields also buy you time to open chests in aggro happy areas =)

Sagius Truthbarron · May 16, 2006, 02:56 PM // 14:56

I used to farm trolls and avacara at level 15 with my W/E. It's not hard. I was even in Yak's Bend armor, if you can see that

Although I did have Armor of Earth.

Nivryx · May 16, 2006, 02:59 PM // 14:59

my mo/me10 can 55 them, just takes some time when zealots only does 8 damage

Alternate charge + sprint ftw.

Kurzick is harder, Dredge mesmers have shatter enchant :/

the troll cave is good for one thing. POWERLEVELING!!!
honestly i have soloed the trolls on 5 characters starting at lvl 10.
just go monk secondary, get a run to the towns you need.
level in gates of kryta 3-9.5.... then go to drok get max armour and work out 3 attacks. with enough energy to stay alive. and play ack ack attack for 10 levels.or 2 days and usually go to do the desert at level 14-15. ascending maxes you out.
