Warrior/Necromancer Minister Cho's Estate HM Farmer

Equipment:

Brute Sword 15^stance, 10% furious, +30Hp
Stalwart Carapace Shield +45hp stance, -2 stance
Radiant Elite Charr Hide Helm of Superior Tactics
Radiant Elite Gladiators Hauberk of Minor Absorption
Radiant Elite Gladiators Gauntlets of Minor Swordsmanship
Radiant Elite Gladiators Leggings of Minor Strength
Radiant Elite Gladiators Boots of Minor Tactics

Skills:

Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Gladiators defense
Bonetti's defense
Shield Stance
Dolyak Signet
Healing Signet
Necrotic Traversal

Order of skills:
Hit Deadly riposte about 4 seconds before they attack you and before they hit use gladiators defense and Dolyak, continue to attack and build adrenalin so you can spam both ripostes, as glads runs out use shield stance and continue to use the ripostes. Once shield stance has run out use Bonneti's but don't use and skills in this time, once Bonetti's is almost finished use shield stance once again and use the ripostes until you can use gladiators defense again, repeat until they are dead. Use Healing signet after each fight and only when covered by and of the stances but Bonneti's.

Area of usage:

The areas of usage will be divided up by which gates are opened.

1st gate (with Togo and Yijo):
Just wait until the gate is opened and follow them to the second.

2nd gate (with the 4 Sickened Guards behind) (may need necrotic traversal):
you may be able to aggro the first group here, if you do only one will attack you and when it is at 25% the other will run back to the edge. If you do kill this guard you can then use Necrotic Traversal to get to the other side and save yourself about 10-15 seconds. Finish the cowardly guard and move onto the second group which will be easy if you leave no gaps between stances.

3rd gate (where the tree is) (necrotic traversal needed):
Do not go to the tree but instead run up to the gate near the lost bay and hit necrotic traversal, you will teleport between the tree's and the 2 guards will attack you, kill these and repeat for the other group and the 3 guards on the bridge.

*Once you Teleport through this gate it should not open and there will be a red beacon keep pinging, this way the lost boy will stay and you will not fail the mission by Togo and Yijo.*

4th gate (after the bridge) (necrotic traversal needed):
As you pass through this gate there will be 5 sickened guards in two groups, one group of two will not attack no matter what but the other group will attack after you come close (adjacent), kill these as normal and repeat for the other 3 guards on the hill and the two sets of two guards patrolling.

5th gate (afflicted Horror) (necrotic traversal needed)
Before you use necrotic traversal hit deadly riposte and dolyak signet followed by gladiators defense as soon as he gets close, continue to hit him and spam riposte and deadly riposte, he should only be able to hit you a few times but watch out as if he hits whilst your using healing signet he does around 120dmg and once he dies he deals around 200 dmg. Once he is dead keep on going up the hill and there will be 4 more sickened guards to kill.

Drops, time taken and enemies:

An average run takes around 8 minutes to complete and the fastest ive ever done it in is around 7 minutes.

Each run gives an average of 2k if all of the items are sold to the merchant (including ID'd golds).

The run will also net you the following items:
-An Average of 2 Golds per run (for me at least)
-Mammoth Axes
-Brute Swords
-Cleavers (tyrian and canthan skins)
-Dadao Swords
-Plagueborn Weapons
-Warrior Tomes
-Elite Warrior Tomes
-Bladed Shields
-Dusk Blades (my favorite skin tbh)
-Katanas
-Broadswords
-Hatchets
-Sickles
-Scimitars
Ill add more as i remember them

Enemies:
Sickened Guards (26 of)
Afflicted Horror (Boss - 1 of)

Cool, though why superior AND Minor tactics? Waste IMO.

Also, how can we have Tyrian skins in Cantha

miskav · Apr 07, 2008, 03:13 PM // 15:13

Berek, but it does happen.
Because the animals that cho imported (Moa's, lynxes, etc..) ARE tyrian.
Also the-red-zealot I can't really see this be time effective o_o but I'll try to see if your claim of 8 minutes is about right.

But killing the animals dosen't get you anything apart from exp no?

the-red-zealot · Apr 07, 2008, 03:48 PM // 15:48

The animals give nothing, and i just quoted what is on my armor now (elite charr has tactics which stack).

I got a perfect Dadao sword and brute sword yesterday, 5 war runes, 1 elite war rune. I did get 3 Tyrian skinned cleavers right after one another though.

The animals can give things as tomes and event items.

isamu kurosawa · Apr 07, 2008, 04:21 PM // 16:21

Simmilar to what i used to run to farm them a while back hoping to get a tyrian sickle+bo staff.

tact12+1+1
str+12+1

riposte
deadly riposte
glads defence
bonnetti's
dolyak sig
dwarven stability
heal sig
NT

Rarely need to even use dolyaks as glads defence lasts so long with a good dwarven rank (which is gotten easily just completing each dungeon once)

My average was about 6 mins with that. got a few of the skins i wanted but with sucky mods. Ended up buying my sickle and bo staff here.
It is a good source of warrior tomes however.

VaMpIrE|OrD · Apr 07, 2008, 04:51 PM // 16:51

Do you get monstorous items in the runs regulary or not?

the-red-zealot · Apr 07, 2008, 05:57 PM // 17:57

I think i got about 3 claws yesterday, they might have been eyes though.

I started using it to get myself a max Q9 brute sword and is possible a Dusk Blade, i got my 15^50 brute sword after 2 days but ive only had a Q10 dusk Blade.

I only killed the animals once but got nothing from them, i now leave them out.

I got a dusk blade...idk what req.

miskav · Apr 07, 2008, 07:21 PM // 19:21

Animals are tyrian, but in some odd cases if 2 or more chapter's creatures are mixed up in a map, the drop tables seem to glitch, Hence you getting both versions off of the guards.
There was another example of this, but I can't really recall it =/..

More like all starting areas in the game have foes that drop those items as non max. In HM the drops seem to stay and get upgraded in quality as with all HM areas.

pre, shing jea and istan zones all drop those skins.
