Spirit spammer is usually solo tho there is a 2 man build as well.
Nick items are usually nm farmed for ease and time - why fight a buffed hm foe when u can probably kill 2 nm foes in same time ?
Heros not needed as solo build

Hope that helps.

Urass you beat me with the pvx link lol

Try less H/H.

Mouse at Large · Feb 18, 2010, 08:58 PM // 20:58

Personally speaking I went with a 4 man team in nm

Me as fire ele, MM, Spirit spam and N/Rt healer heroes. More than enough firepower to cope with all mobs inc the Onis on the bridge. Got all the bone charms needed in a couple of stress-free runs around the crater

Naughty Nurse · Feb 18, 2010, 09:29 PM // 21:29

1 rit with a spirit wall, and a Necro with Ap, Shambling, Ymlad, Ebon sin, Finish him and blood from the master

10 shambbling horrors lvl 18, and a wall of spirits. Walk in the park. Nm ofcourse

Lichtenberg · Feb 18, 2010, 11:30 PM // 23:30

just take 3 heroes, and a summoning stone if you have any spare
i got all my bone charms in 3 runs, about 10-13minutes a run, in NM

Lord Dagon · Feb 19, 2010, 01:11 AM // 01:11

i suggest a fire ele(searing flames and other nuking skills) w/ maybe those new celestrial summoning stones if you want( i dont think they decrease the droprate and a little extra help never hurts.)

thelessa · Feb 19, 2010, 01:15 PM // 13:15

I took just a MM hero with me while farming in Rhea's Crater using spirit spam, worked fine as long are the mobs were small.

I posted a method of my farming of outcast areas in the nic thread but alas it got deleted. anyway

For rits only

This build but drop speechless and add Painful Bond
Option slot use spirit siphon
drop resto and max channeling (+ 3 rune)
and increase communing
and spawning

HARD MODE farm all areas

June Bug · Feb 19, 2010, 04:51 PM // 16:51

Just NM solo spirit spam in Rhea's for me, starting out of Aurios, ending at the monk boss. Killing most outcast in Rheas nets about 15-18 charms, some goldies and the odd green now and then. About 30-35 minutes I think.

Sometimes the patrolling group with ele boss (wavebreak or what's its name) kills the mesmer boss group and the ones around him, so I don't get those.

DTSC comes good as a byebye for 600

aspi · Feb 22, 2010, 05:55 PM // 17:55

Amber chunks, it is realy worth farming them for gifts? I always thought amber was worth almost as much as one gift?

Ralisti · Feb 22, 2010, 05:57 PM // 17:57

fastest way would be to buy from rare mat trader? looks like prices are going up -_-

edit: (not sure what current price of amber is)

Thalador Doomspeaker · Feb 22, 2010, 06:01 PM // 18:01

Trader is out of stock, but the last price was 1.2k/Amber. ArenaNet has clearly lost its mind to ask for such an expensive and hard-to-get rare crafting material.

Hey guys!

I posted some of the easiest ways to farm Kurzick faction (which is the easiest way to farm amber) on PvX.

Feel free to edit and change it if the information is wrong. Total it will take 75,000 Kurzick faction in order to get all 15 amber, so I strongly recommend doing FFF's if you don't want to buy them.

So, lemme get this straight, Anet WANTS us to do DTSC??? But they're gonna nerf 600/smite... :S
