I have all the chapters. :P And so what kind of drops am I looking for? Golds? Certain collectables or mats? I'm sorta new to this whole farming thing, so I'm just trying to get an idea of what I'm looking for.

And do deaths affect drops? I think I remember someone saying that at some point.

EDIT: With the death thing, I'm referring to the dying and ressing at the shrine right next to the Luxon sin area. Will that affect my drops? Because I've been doing that and my drops are kinda... crappy. Especially compared to when I ran to them without dying.

I am pretty sure that your DP doesn't affect drops...

This will sound a bit stupid, but why the low Armor? I'm guessing it's to make sure Prot Spirit does it's job, but HM foes (and most farmable foes) hit hard enough, especially with 330 or lower health.

A clarification?

Ehh, just from the top of my head ><
  1. It's cheaper than Max Armor
  2. Just so Prot Spirit and Spirit Bond does it's job
  3. There may or may not be some foes that don't hit hard enough for Spirit Bond to trigger while wearing Max Armor

The low armor insures that you take the most possible damage per hit to trigger Spirit Bond.

The damage is calculated before Prot Spirit's reduction.

Sounds to me you haven't noticed the Spirit Bond Bug/Glitche. If you renew Spirit Bond while it is still active, the 10 hits counter won't reset most of the time. So, don't renew Spirit Bond until it has worn off... and jus cast soon as you see that your health start to go down. Also, for farming mods with casters, you might want to use Spirit Bond even with VwK if you are still taking damage from spells of some kind.

GL and Have fun, hope you understand

Best looking 15AL is Seitung from Monastery. Thats what I use, and I dyed mine all white, and it looks better than most max armors... almost looks leet.

I use a combo of Seitung and Canthan, regular max armor. Am not going to bother getting 15k for any char except my ranger, who is my pride and joy

The fact that I'm broke most of the time has also come to mind

Oh, well if you use max armor, SB might not trigger from wand damage and such.

Yeah, I figured that out And I did a test. Got killed in less than ten seconds.

Bought 15AL armor, and this build ROCKS. Thanks for sharing it. Maybe now I'll have a less boring way than trapping/touching way of farming.

Hi this build is really great! I’ve been farming with it for not long but I had experience in other 55/105 and i fast used to spirit bond. I have only one problem. In Fahranur, The First City in front of city itself there is big group of scales (all are D or W), it is possible to lure them in smaller groups but I’m dying. Why I have PS on me i have SB on me (recasting when it ends)? Is it possible that deep wound kills me?

Try fighting them in smaller groups. Use a Longbow/Flatbow and pull one group out, they're actually just three or so groups packed into on area. As soon as you pull them out, switch back to your normal weapon set.

Can this build do Griffon's Mouth?

And a related question, although I might have missed the answer earlier. How do you deal with knockdowns when using this? Just ignore it?

Nothing you can do about knockdowns, but still possible to get off spells in between them... aslong as they are not constant knockdowns. But if you have Gwen there is a skill the will counter knock downs for abou 14-20 seconds depending on your title rank. It has a longer recharged than its duration, but should be enough time to kill a group of enemies off... it should also help against Vermins.

I think that i wasnt clear. When i said that it is possible to lure them in smaller groups i meant that i was luring theam into smaller groups. But all in all next day when i tried it again i killed theam without problem, it seams that i had been doing something wrong.
Fahranur, The First City is deffinityl one of the best farming spots. Run take about 20min with about 60 foes on way and 2 bosses.
