Default Ranger-Grawl Farm(Unraveled)

8/14/07 - This Build Was Supposedly nerfed, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

I'm preety bored right now so I felt like helping you people to learn how to grawl farm.Grawl have the highest drop rate of grawl gear,(or so I've been told by a friend) So the chance to get rare armors seems to be preety good. Well I dont know about the amount of rares your going to get ,but you'd be prty surprised on the drops.I've gotten many drops,but my best so far have been a superior vigor rune,and a black dye. So This is my build and stats I use:

R/N(finnally a build for R/N!)
Oath Shot
Throw dirt
Dodge
Whirling defense
Dryaders defense
Troll Ungent
Mark of pain
Edge of Extinction(EoE)

That is how it is set up on my skill bar.
Now for Stats

Wilderness Survival:15
Expertise:8
Beastmastery:16
Curses:5

I did my desert 15 attribute quest and that helps alot

you must have your beastmastery mask on and it must have a Superior beastmastery rune it it!

you also need:
A wilderness survival mask
Sup Wilderness Survival
any vigor rune(I suggest Major vigor, it is fairly inexpensive)
and a minor expertise rune

You also need the zone Port Sledge

Ok Now that you have finnally gotten all of your Skills and items its time to Farm those MoFo's!

Here is a basic outline of what you need to do:

1. put on your beastmastery mask(your hp should be 401 with a major vigor on)

2. go to Whittmanys folly

3. go out with out aggroing the grawls on the hills

4. lay your EoE(it should be at 50 Dmg)

5. switch to Wilderness Survival mask(your troll ungent should be at +10 regen)

6. Here's the fun part! go up to the little ridge thing where there are two little hills.Put on a troll ungent and hit dodge.Go through the little hill thing and kinda curve right a bit.Be sure to hit dodge right after troll so you dont lose aggro.

7. Rock music please, aggro as many grawls as possible with out hitting the boss in front of you. Then take a sharp left(if troll and dodge run out hit dyaders)and keep going.

8. as your running you will see a boss right next to a hill(hit Whirling when dryaders runs out).Go to the top of the hill(NOT THE FIRST HILL THE SECOND ONE!!!) and you should have EoE in range.

9.(this is the really hard part) Before you hit the top of the hill hit TAB and you throw dirt on the closest monster.Then oath shot.TAB again and use throw dirt and whirling defense again. Then TAB again to target the closet monster(make sure its the closest!) and use mark of pain. Now you aggroed enough ranged grawl they should die very quickly.Most of the time a few grawl and the boss you get wont die so you have to loot fast!

Tips & Suggestions:

1. When you first go out hold control and go kinda near the hill. If you get the ele boss(Alena pekkek) rezone.

2. It is alot faster to rezone than to travel and go out.

3. when you First start to aggro, aggro as many as possible when you go left.

4. The Monk boss (something Wulpup) can heal area so he takes awhile to do.

5. Try and avoid getting posion arrow on you if you get ranger boss(salani ippipi)

All Possible bosses(Ranked hardest to kill to easiest)
1.Ele-Alena Pekkek(rezone if you have him)
2.Ranger-Salani ippipi
3.Monk-Ilupo wupwup(or something like that)
4.Saakok Yapyawl(probly misspeled)
5.Karobo Dimdim(proly misspelled 2)


This Farm is very hard(allot harder to master than griiffion farming ).So there you guys go.I hope this guide is very useful. If any1 wants to kinda see how its done you can always whisp me in the game at I Might Avenge U and I could tell upu or give you a little demon stration.Anyone who uses this guide, please put some imput on suggestions to better it or just give imput on your drops.Have fun!!

P.S. The Damage is amazing once you pull it off.If any1 need help feel free to post .

I tried it a few times (with miserable failure, naturally), but they didn't really run from SoW.

The video was awsome, but the build doesn't work since the AoE update they all scatter once they take dmg from it. How old is the movie? Yes I did try this with my ranger.

The OP build does work, I use something similar here. They do run from Mark of Pain and Whirling if they stand next to you too long. But not all of them will run and you will kill enough to start a chain reaction. What I do is once I Oath Shot I put on Lightning Reflexes right away to cancel out Whirling, so they will come to you again, and then Throw Dirt, Troll, MoP again on some thing else, and then Whirling.

You can farm those grawl with any ranger, the secondary is unimportant. The damage dealt from whirling defense is all you need to trigger the EoE bomb. I mainly farm them for skill points for my ranger with the 30 second double xp merchant scroll. Easy 1/2 a lvl per couple minute run. I use a pure ranger build to bomb them. Plant EoE @ 50 damage per kill, switch to superior runed expertise mask for the whirling defense kill. Probably the easiest mass killing per time spent in the game.

The drops are alright.....nothing really to brag about besides the occasional rare necro staff/offhand/wand or rune. Easiest place to trigger the anti farm message if you get too carried away.

You can kill the bosses occassionally too depending on the amount of normal grawl around at time of chain reaction. I would avoid the Ele boss since glimmering mark and lightning damage = blindness, blindness and Oath shot is something to be careful with.

I don't think the extra miniscule damage the sup beastmastery rune provides is worth the minus 75 health, ones that EoE bomb is triggered, it could be doing 10 damage ber hit, it would STILL floor those grawls.

With whirling defense, throw dirt, and troll ungent it's kinda like try to kill me. The -75 hp from a superior rune is not a big deal. use a bow with 30 hp upgrade if the -75 health scares you. More EoE damage= faster kill.

AoE skills does work. Since the grawls pile up on you, the outer grawls won't be affected by the AoE skills and continue to block the ones being hit. As for secondary profession, any can be used. I usually go R/Me and use Ether Feast. Whirling Defence is dmg enough to start the chain reaction.
