Curse

I was looking around for a way to farm Kappa with a sin and couldn't find any, im sure its been done before but just cant seem to find any builds so im wondering if anyone has one or could help me improve the one im using now.
I run an A/Me but its just really slow and can't find another secondary that can stay alive.

Due to turtle shell, it will take a really long time to kill them with regular damage (like in your video). I think switching out wastrels demise for ether nightmare might work a lot better. Health degen will kill them faster. You will also get the degen from CoP aswell which makes it a lot faster.

Rest of the build is perfect.

But what is the point to farm Kappas? I mean, what sort of stuff they drop?

Dude, when you love farming you will farm anything!

It's like an addiction.

On top of Ether Nightmare, which Kiki mentioned try adding in Images of Remorse for even more degen! It will also do about +/-20 damage to the Kappa you cast it on if they are attacking (depends on your Illusion rank).

So maybe something like this:

8 + 3 + 1 Shadow Arts, 12 Illusion Magic, 10 Inspiration Magic

Deadly Paradox
Shadow Form
Shroud of Distress
Mantra of Frost
Great Dwarf Armor
Images of Remorse
Cry of Pain
Ether Nightmare (Luxon)

Use a 20% longer enchant weapon and you can maintain Shadow Form.

Im guessing the kappa outside shing jea and not the ones further ingame.
I kno the kappa in lux area can pack quite a punch tho was only testing there after the old sf change a few years back and never really bothered with them since.

They drop Kappa Shields, think that's why

Exactly, first farm i ever did was a full Topk solo. Took 2 and a half hours and have loved farming ever since.

I was doing Woc last night and had to go to a place i don't think i've ever been since factions first came out and ran into 30-40 kappa in one place and i wanna see if there can be a solid farming build before i go threw the trouble of figuring out how to safely get to the spot.

EDIT: Found that Wastrel's Demise, Wasterl's Worry and Cry of Pain drop them pretty fast.

Hey,

This works on a Mo/Rt too or Rt/Mo for anyone wanting to try.

I run with 130hp (55 or w/e would work too as long as it's < 160 HP)

Prot spirit
Shielding hands
SoA
VwK
VW
Rad Field
Essencebond/Balth spirit
Blessed Aura

10+3+1 Prot prayers
12 Restoration Magic
8+3 Divine Favor

You can lure the same groups as in the vid, or just the ones near the water on the right.

Spiritz · Mar 21, 2012, 08:02 AM // 08:02

55 sev nc or monk , terratank ele i know can aslo do this farm - watched the vid and i know now where you are.
Unsure if you know but there is another mob in the water which you didnt get - from where you start they are to the right side if you go that way - just under a small sort of arch.its 4 mobs - 1st is left of start , 2nd is right of start , 3rd is upper right of start but if you hold 2nd mob and wait the mob will patrol near you and last mob will come out a bit so its possible to aggro and hold all 4 mobs

jague · Mar 21, 2012, 05:43 PM // 17:43

wanted to try this farm today, but when i enter the zone i can only find 1 mob, you need a quest or so?
thx

armor +10^enchanted (or +15^vs cold)
shield +10^vs cold

and take lockpicks (0-3 chests/run)

Have fun !

Dark Druids · Mar 22, 2012, 10:33 PM // 22:33

Awesome run Glorg. I tried 55/SS on the few outside Maishang Hills and it was nowhere near as fast but one thing I noticed was the gold drop rate was extremely low. Have you noticed the same thing at the ones in the Undercity?

Glorg · Mar 22, 2012, 10:37 PM // 22:37

i got 0-2 golds per run without chest

Glorg · Mar 22, 2012, 11:09 PM // 23:09

try with something like that : OwVTIwh+Z6AiHRnBBYJ4miVMuEA

You make more than 1 damage on these kappas
But be carefull, they hit you very hard

He's using a build that's pretty much like that. Using Arcane Echo with wastrel's doesn't change the fact that the echoed Wastrel's will still do ~1 damage because of Turtle Shell.

That's the reason degen was suggested.

Glorg · Mar 22, 2012, 11:28 PM // 23:28

A quick test to show you that's work !

greenough · Mar 23, 2012, 12:15 AM // 00:15

it works if you argo 1 group at a time. I even tried 12 in insp for dmg reduction and a +10 vs cold and still had to hide behind a corner to kill them. Problem ends up behing energy managment, because you can't let them hit you then you drop to zero and can't cast SF.

Looks like you just snapped a picture right before you died

Just tried a few different things out and theres just not enough def, you can prolong death by strifing back and forth and casting wastrels every once in a while. killed a few but as soon as you stop and drop manta for DP to cast SF they either get you or drop you down low enough that you can't recover.

Rialto · Mar 23, 2012, 02:36 AM // 02:36

You should post a video for the Undercity Kappa because the Kappa that the OP was farming was outside of Gyala Hatchery (Maishang Hills) and his Wastrel's Demise was only hitting for 1 damage.

Which makes me wonder, do the Undercity Kappa use Turtle Shell? That would explain why you're doing so much damage.

Edit: I just went to go check and the Undercity Kappa do not use Turtle Shell which is why Wastrel's Demise works.

so now, i show you that's possible, buy a brain and make your own build if you don't like this

The whole point of this thread was to figure out a kappa fram for a Sin. you posted one for a ranger and one for a sin that doesn't work. I knew it was possible to get there because a perma can go almost anywheres.
