Need money?
Anet nerfing all your farming spots?
Want that FoW armor you've always been dreaming of?
UW runs too slow?
WELL NOW YOU CAN MAKE 32k-80k PER HOUR!!!!
OMGZ WTF!?!? HOW!?!?
Simple:
Solo thirsty river. Mission and Bonus.
Your probably thinking: U SCAMMING N00B! U CANT MAKE THAT MUCH FROM THAT!
Well, Im here to tell u, u can. Do the math.
1run takes roughly 30min. u can take 4 ppl.
Cost ranges between 4k-10k per person (4k being extremely low, 10k being extremely high) depending on how many ppl want it done at the time. (I personally charge 7k per person)
Now, you probably want me to stop rambling and get down to bussiness, well here ya go:

What do I need?
a necro

How much cash is equipment gonna cost me?
6k or less

What are you trying to sell me?
A complete guide for necros to solo thirsty river in word format with pictures(you need 1 hench to assist so not completely solo).

Why no video?
i thought about it, but pictures along with a detailed explaination of the build should be enough and most of you probably dont want to wait hours downloading or even weeks if bandwidth exceeds.

How much?
50k or 8 ecto (as you can see, i prefer gold)

Why so much?
simple, I am providing you with the best build to date, I have spent countless plats hiring runners inorder to watch and learn there builds and I have yet to see a more efficient and polished build. Also, in reality it isnt that much since u can easily make it back and if I charged any less, it wouldnt be worth my time (remeber, i can also preform the run :-P).

Well why dont you just run it to make gold?
Once again, simple, I have done this run so many times it sickens me and I have made my share of gold. I would now just like to focus on PvP and get ready for chapter 2. You should do the same by stocking up gold from this run :-P.

Why necro?
idk? cuz u can? and a recent update made the AI smarter in thirsty so the w/mo build is much harder to pull off now and the necro is the profession of choice.

My guide includes:
~equipment setup (weapons, runes, ect.)
~skill setup and how to correctly use them
~it is basically a step by step picture guide so it is easy to understand, i am more than willing to answer questions if u are confused on somthing

This guide can benifit anyone, even others running this mission. Once again, I have yet to see a more efficient solo build and if u think otherwise, by all means, prove me wrong.

Once payment has been paid upfront, i will send 2 emails to u, containing the guide.

heh i understand it may seem like alot but, in the time u would spend time practicing u could have easily made up for by buying the guide.
At first i was reluctant to even write this up, but ppl in game kept messaging me asking for the build and most were happy to pay 30k-40k just for the skill setup and attribute point spread and then i posted somewhere that i made 50k-60k on average per hour and i got many messages asking how and since i dont run this anymore i decieded to make this.
My aim is not to sell alot of guides for a low price, but rather just a few for a high price. That way my customers will be more happy and satisfied knowing there arent 10000 runners deflating the price.

Worldbeater · Jan 26, 2006, 06:11 PM // 18:11

I saw a necro run this one one time. I'm not going to spoil it for tymeless by telling how, but it was amazing. I would love to learn how, but I don't have 50k to spare at the moment. Maybe soon.

Refyused · Jan 26, 2006, 07:38 PM // 19:38

I am intrigued and I do have the money for it, but to be honest, even with the amount of money I have (a lot), I'm kind of reluctant to pay the 50k price on this.. It just seems like too much =/

I dunno, I might buy, I'll consider it, but I won't promise anything. Kind of iffy for me.

Anarion Silverhand · Jan 26, 2006, 08:18 PM // 20:18

Excuse me for asking, but how do we know it's not a scam, since you ask us to pay everything upfront, and then we will get the 2 mails?

Charr Killer · Jan 26, 2006, 10:02 PM // 22:02

when i get a necro with a high enuf lvl to at least attempt this, i will probably invest 50k into this.

would getting the guide then earning the money then paying be out of the question?

BlackOut777 · Jan 26, 2006, 10:02 PM // 22:02

Seems a bit expensive espeically with no videos involved!

I have never seen this being done by a necro (not doubting you) but I'd like to see you in action before I fork out 50K!

tymeless · Jan 27, 2006, 03:14 PM // 15:14

For those who are skeptical, i am willing to hold 15k armor from a character of urs and then i will send u the guide and then i will trade ur armor back for 50k. This would aviod scamming since the 15k armor means nothing to me but it means alot to u.
no video is needed considering i have around 12 pictures for key spots. I send 2 emails cuz the files are large due to the pics. I am telling u this is worth the money, even if u were to watch me and had my skill list it would be faster to make the 50k than trying to figure out how to execute some of the skills i use and i have watched many ppl solo this and none of them are near as effiecient as mine.

My guide includes:
~equipment setup (weapons, runes, ect.)
~skill setup and how to correctly use them
~it is basically a step by step picture guide so it is easy to understand, i am more than willing to answer questions if u are confused on somthing

RuPee · Jan 29, 2006, 02:22 AM // 02:22

i might be interested in this, but i dont want to be the first. some feedback would be nice from someone nice enough to be the first customer.

Rahl · Jan 29, 2006, 06:01 AM // 06:01

Well, it is nice, but all the people doing it ingame are doing it for like...2k :x

well u must have gotten a steal... look at all these threads running it on this forum:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=103613
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=111068
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=107804
and in game ppl are willing to pay more, even 10k if no one is running at all.
I personally charge 7k per person, but thats up to u.

Keiyoushi Idaten · Jan 29, 2006, 06:49 AM // 06:49

not to be a jackass or take away from this "service" but that is a rediculous price considerign u can just go ask ppl ingame for the build and practice it to perfection.

LiQuId StEeL · Jan 29, 2006, 07:02 AM // 07:02

Exactly. I've gotten run through thirsty for as little as 1k. Even if people are charging 10-15k ingame, why not just die, and watch their technique? Sure as hell is a lot less than 50k, even if you do it a few times to get it burnt into your retinas.

Usually most smart thirsty runners would make their clients stay alive to pay before last boss and have safety from clients copying the build. If a client is in range of your radar though they can see your skills and copy it. People don't understand though that its like solo monking, you can't just look at a guide and be an expert at it. It usually takes an experienced teacher to show you when to use certain skills and other factors of soloing thirsty.

It would be different if he was teaching, but he's not, he's just sending a "document" that could just as easily be "thread link".... this is a forum, that's what it's here for.

If anyones interested, I also know a good thirsty build, pm me.

i show u pictures of all the key spots u need and exactly wen and where to use skills... i am more than willing to answer any questions somone may have. I seriously dont kno how offering a video over pictures of key spots u need to be is more of a service.
I used to have a imonk and i kno somone that knos litterally everything about imonking and yet u dont see me posting in ur thread to pm me on how to execute runs, patrol patterns and the skill setup.
Its not like im making ppl buy it, its just out there for somone that wants it, in fact, ive always encouraged ppl who i run to challange themselves by trying to figure out my build instead of just asking for it.

Wow talk about hypocritical.
I suggest u stop this here.

JR · Jan 29, 2006, 11:57 PM // 23:57

I don't really see how i is worth paying 50k for someone to tell you "use a minion master".

xxSilhouette · Jan 30, 2006, 12:01 AM // 00:01

I payed 10k to a necro to get me through this mission. Mainly beacuse i was a level 17 and i wanted to ascend (which made me a level 20 as soon as i beat doppleganger).

She did a very nice job, but like JR- said, she was a minion master, There's not to much else to need to know about it.

6k or less

Presuming you are running a minion master build this WILL cost alot more than 6k. Energy is an important factor as to raise fiends costs 25 energy. You will therefore need tattoo armor which requires a hell of alot of parchment which when crafted comes to 14k. Then add the cost of the 5 pieces of 1.5k armor and you are around 20k. Then you will need superior soul reaping and superior death magic runes which will cost another couple of k. Then the skills have to be bought which can vary from a couple og gold to 1k each depending on how many you have bought previously. The staff comes from outside elona and is a collectors one however, you would benefit from a health mod and armor mod.

So in conclusion, this will not cost 6k more in the region of 25-30k depending on how much of the armor, skills and items you have.

The price is also rediculous unless you are offering in-game help.

Since wen did ppl stop using armor?
runes are cheap, and most of the cost comes from that, skills are not equipment and can be unlocked from various quests for free, which i can inform u if needed.
And for the record, i do offer ingame help, and u can make ur money back within one sit.

Since when did everyone have tattoo armor as energy is very important in a minion master build?

Edit: You might want to touch up your spelling and grammar as you are trying to sell your services but a post full of inaccuracies and errors would only put people off.
