Ah yes, Captain Falcon...I mean, Courier Falken. I heard that it takes around 8 minutes or so to escort this Leeroy Jenkins to his destination when done at North Kryta Province (basically escorting him to a particular location without getting him killed once). Now, the great thing about this (over the Shining Blade Bounties) is that no matter what mode you do this in, the reward is the same. Also, you can start from Temple of the Ages with a party of 8 to makes things easier since the henchies are a bit more resilient than the ones in Lion's Arch (you don't have to do the Watchtower Coast one where your party is strictly limited to 6 people). Oh yeah, your party WILL face level 20 White Mantle on the path, but it's mostly around 4-6 foes per encounter and with you, three heroes, 4 level 15 henchmen, Courier Falken, and a random Shining Blade/Ebon Falcon ally, this shouldn't be a problem.

However, there is a drawback to this. If you plan to do all of this at North Kryta Province/Nebo Terrance and you plan to start from Temple of the Ages, it is a very long run. Also, for full effectiveness of this farm, if you do this at North Kryta Province, you can't really enter Lion's Arch. If you want to do the Courier Falken thing again, you need to do this through the Nebo Terrance/North Kryta Province portal. So if you ever need to sell your loot or anything, you probably would need Mercantile Summoning Stones. Courier Falken's AI is pretty bad as well, as he seem to highly prioritize in going to his destination rather than helping your party when you are in danger (that's why I refer to him as Leeroy Jenkins). For example, my minions accidentally aggro a group of Tengu in the open field and yet Courier Falken prefers running to the destination because the minions who aggroed the Tengu were out of his aggro range.

Oh yeah, he doesn't spawn all the time. So you would need to constantly rezone a couple of times at the Nebo Terrance/North Kryta Province portal. However, doing so would be a great thing. If he doesn't spawn at North Kryta Province, there a chance that he may spawn at Nebo Terrance when you go through the portal and vice versa.

But anyways, share your builds for farming War Supplies via Courier Falken. For me, I used a ranger spear build where I constantly alternate between the shouts "Fall Back!" and "Incoming!" shouts so that Courier Falken can reach his destination quickly (I don't rely on heroes to do this because they don't seem to use these shouts well). I use the Discordway build for my heroes because the minions serve as effective meat shields as well as distractions whenever I end up aggroing the mobs but Courier Falken decides to keep running because mobs that were aggroed are outside of his range. The henchies I brought were a monk, an elementalist, a ranger, and a mesmer.

Yup, I was your partyleader I think

We did most runs in 6 mins, 5 min should be possible if we did some minor changes.

Magragoc · May 24, 2010, 02:07 PM // 14:07

I don't understand: It's a very short little trip; you're in Normal Mode; you're fighting small groups of level 20 Mantle; you're in Normal Mode; see where I'm going with this?

Bringing a DwG spike team for this? Seriously? Even chaining "Incoming!" and "Fall Back!" the Courier doesn't move appreciably faster. Is the slightly quicker run time worth the hassle of putting together a PuG in town? It just looks like overkill. This isn't the DoA.

Covah · May 24, 2010, 02:11 PM // 14:11

5 min run with 4 ursan and 2 monks with MH FB, we were beastin yo.

Welthas · May 24, 2010, 03:23 PM // 15:23

I did some runs with Discord, and I kept getting about 8 min runs.

Strife17 · May 24, 2010, 04:09 PM // 16:09

I don't Time it

also 100b owns
fallback/make haste/incoming i just like to use.

You can control use of skills on heroes. Just disable them on their bar and click it anytime you want it.

Feathermoore Rep · May 24, 2010, 07:59 PM // 19:59

Was Getting 5s with 2 SF/make haste eles, sos, monk, and 100b. Can't get much faster than that without a permanent speed boost cast on him.

Hells Fury · May 24, 2010, 11:09 PM // 23:09

W/D scythe, N/Mo melee pump, mm, n/rt heal
+optional another person with SoS rit hero /w splinter and make haste
Can't get it under 6-7 min's , it's not the speed of killing thats the problem it's the falkens path and weird pauses he takes. (even with make haste constantly on him)
Prettymuch anything is efficient , worst thing is rezoning to get him spawned.

Also who yelled the DwG was best for farming him.

From this build, it kinda looks good. However, I would probably replace one of the mesmer heroes with a SoS rit spirit spammer for additional allies and pressure.

But why are people recommending Watchtower Coast? I know that the path is shorter, but you are facing more mobs and such. Plus, I want to do this with heroes and henchies. The henchies around Watchtower Coast are level 12 or something and most likely would get raped by the level 20 peacekeepers/white mantle really quickly. The only way this is effective is if I do this with another player.

awry · May 25, 2010, 05:32 AM // 05:32

I've actually found the henchmen a liability so i just go w/ my heroes, the extra npc ally adds enough dmg to your party so that you don't need to keep throwing heals on the weak henchmen and waste ur monk's e.

Elephantaliste · May 25, 2010, 06:15 AM // 06:15

take the two war henchies, they dont pump ur monk's energy as much as the others, and they spread DW.

Shorter route = faster run.
Mobs on the way get crushed like bugs, if your team is any good.

If you have an Ele, an ER prot/infuse build will keep everyone alive. Even the low-level henchies.

Hey Guys,

I have an account without Eye of the North and the Courier won't spawn for me. So, concluding from this EOTN is required to make him spawn? I watched the first 3 dialogues and beat Prop.

Ty.
