Kegs are Easy, IF you get a runner you only need 4 skills, plus some optional ones if you wish. Heres the build for Hard Mode.

Glyph of Elemental Power
Armor of Earth
Stoneflesh Aura
Melandrus Resilliance

Earth 12
WS 12 + runes
Exp the rest.

Optional skills
Elemental Lord
Ebon Escape <--- highly recomended
Windbourn speed <-- If used change att spread slightly
Troll Unguent

You will take mostly "0"s as damage and a handful of "5"s they will give you 4 hexes and deepwound to feed Mel Resilliance so despite their -8 pips of degen you will be at max regen with pips in reserve as well as +7pips of energy regen.

Use a +20% enchant weapon for StoneFlesh.
I also use the insignias that are VS Earth Damage, but I'm not 100% sure they are needed.

So you know, gather em up, pull them to The Keg guy and spamm away.

The LAST post is the build I currently use in Naphui, it's only NM, I take too much Damage in HM and since the NM one works so well I have yet to be bothered to make a HM one that works.

Yeah my IGN is Kael Amaranth.
Bow Greenhound, bored with Ranger, trying to find new build - we should talk.

YE, Feathers will make you Rich, My FoW Armor was bought basically with Feathers as were my HoM Destroyer weapons back when Onyx and Diamonds were not cheap at all.

@.Loki

There will be runners this weekend. I feel as though a build can be made for a Ranger to do both the Run AND the farm solo, just haven't had time to figure out the Runner part yet.

Orange, tried that R/W jaya bluff feather farmer, all I can say is thank you, thank you! 1 hour = 272 feathers + lots of iron + 7k off of runes/insignias (lots of blue/purple armor - got a major vigor, attunements, minor death magic, survivors)...plus, as an added benifit - it's actually fun! The 600/smite naphui farmer is so boring imo, and this way I can actually farm with my ranger

Btw: I did make one change, however...I took out [sever artery] and replaced it with [ebon vanguard assassin support] and I make sure to target the darkfeathers first, that way the sin takes them out...whirlwind attack= lots of pretty yellow numbers

Orange Milk · Apr 22, 2009, 09:16 PM // 21:16

The R/W is for Naphui Quarter Solo in NM, but you used it in Jaya Bluffs? Never tried it there. Perhaps I shall.

I use a R/E for Jaya BLuffs, 16 mobs 100ish foes 12 minutes.

PM me IG for the build

Try The R/W in Naphui Quarter too

O_O not reading ftl rofl

I did try in Naphui, I was getting worked by anything >2 foes - so I must have been doing something wrong. Took me forever to get all of the right equipment per your specs (wtb -2/stance inscription lol) I hate having to buy stuff that I know I merch on a daily!

Anyway, when I was failing in Naphui, that's when I went over to Jaya, and it worked well there. I didn't realize there was a different build for Jaya, lol

Thanks, anyway.

EDIT:

works, ended up paying for a runner for 3k ( runner said he's running 6k on the weekend )

can't aggro everything so i only take a couple then keg em

stoneflesh aura helps against accumulated pain ( im using Earthbound )
might also switch IAU for Mental Block

@ gw_poster

A few Things for R/W Stance in Naphui.

Be sure you are attack the Rits first or they will heal everyone.

Do it in NM, HM they deal too much damage, I think the idea is sound for HM but it needs tweaked.

Spread the Degen, "TAB" to foes when [Sever Artery] is charged and get everyone Bleeding/Poisoned.

If your Dwarf rank is NOT 10, consider lowering your sword and adding to Expertise, that or drop Hundered Blades for [Dryders Defenses] so you can maintain a 75% block stance 100% of the time. Hundred Blades speeds up the run so much though.

The Rangers deal the most Damage, If you can pull them slightly so they ball, you can then run in and Whirling Defense/Hundred Blades them to death real fast without even using the degen skills.

@ Loki

Another fan of playing Ranger was making the run buy using Kinetic Armor and Burning Speed. I dont know how it is for energy though because you have to cast burning speed every 5 secs or so to maintain Kinetic. He also, at my suggestion, took two sets of armor Survivors/Vite for the run and the earthbound for the farm.

I can do it like the Permas do, Aggroing one side then the other, but its difficult with the Armor of earth slowing you down and the haveing to recast StoneFlesh often. I typically take them out in 5-6 groups but still that takes very little time of of the clock to do.
