Well I will do more runs tonight if we ever get favor. Mainly though since I've only gotten drops from the ACS, I've focused my data only on THEM. My "goal" is to get some calculated data for GUILDWIKI, similar to how there is drop rate data for the Aatxes (which I posted the link above). If I get drops from Driftwoods, Ill add them to the equation as a whole. Currently GuildWiki is down, so I cannot get information on what else they drop, but I know they can drop weapon items.

Someone bring me some news.

There is a 55 W/Mo uw solo, not sure how far he got in though. When I did it as W/Mo (not 55) I was able to do it, however it was far more difficult and luck was on my side.

Concerning shards... I'm content with the 4 or so I get every so often.

Yeah, what he said. ^

If you get 4 shards in a run be as happy as a pig in shit. Do not doubt the snarlings on the beach, I had 4 straight runs of getting either a shard or a gold item on the VERY first Snarling I met. Then again, I've had just as many times where they drop nothing at all.

Anyways XeNoGeArZ, I'd just say you're having some bad luck. Keep at it.

I suspect that, if they are dropping, they'll only be dropped by the Shadow Army. We won't get them farming, unless they maybe appear in chests.

dude i'm fine until the acs's i always die even wit watchful spirt and i try to pull them 3 at a time but they just wont, so they all aggro its really annoying. how do u kill these acs's? also, the skales are really annoying sumtimes they spawn everywhere and i cant go newhere lol

i got one today from a driftwood or dryder....

yassy_visera · Mar 11, 2006, 03:57 AM // 03:57

I got 5 shards and 2 keys in one run hows that for luck?

0siris · Mar 11, 2006, 09:12 AM // 09:12

Just a suggestion. It would be better to use a weapon with a damage +% mod while hexed. Someone might have already suggested that but I really dont have time to read through 30 pages

I believe that thudding sound was several thousand Wa/Mo's willies hitting the underside of their computer desks.

Farming time....

Seef II · Mar 11, 2006, 10:05 AM // 10:05

One successful run today - 2 shards, 1 key, and 1 sapphire. Not bad. Update didn't kill this run, and my beach spawn was so bad that the thrill of taking out six driftwood on the verge of being sandwiched between two skale groups was intense.

Embarked on a chest run later and one of the party members got a req8 14^50 shadow blade. Wow. I ended up with some crappy chaos axe and a jeweled chalice.

Go get 'em.

Calador Alaster · Mar 11, 2006, 11:32 AM // 11:32

I've had a different thought on the build:

This has not been tested yet but; instead of healing signet and watch yourself, which both require tactics, i decided to switch them to vigorous spirit and live vicarously with 11 points on healing prayers. Along with a vamparic axe, i can dock about 27 hp/hit, i also thought of bringing flurry, in case i need that fast health boost. I m thinking about bringing cleave or eviscerate, executioner's strike, and penetrating blow for my main source of damage. then of course, i ll have sprint and dolyak signet.

Any comments? =)

laurson · Mar 11, 2006, 12:39 PM // 12:39

I did this for the first time today, but died 3times in the run :|

immolatus · Mar 11, 2006, 12:45 PM // 12:45

I've been trying to do this for a while now but for some reason The stupid spiders do at least 3 dmg per call shot and with all the spiders wailing on me at the same time and poison going on, I usually cant keep up with it.

Are you wearing an Ascalon/Knight's Armour piece? And have at least a Major Absorption Rune on one piece of your armour?

On another note, does the anti-farming code kick in when you do the Spider Caves repeatedly? I was thinking it shouldn't, since a run usually takes a while, but I've been getting progressively lousy drops (4 Shards, 1 Black, 2 Keys on one, the next one I only got one Shard). maybe its just my crummy luck, but its best to make sure.
Oh, and despite the many runs (10+) i've done so far, I've only gotten 2 golds. Both of which were junk.

Raxxman · Mar 11, 2006, 01:19 PM // 13:19

just went through this twice.

Total count

2 shards
1 purple (chest woohoo)
6 blues
loads of junk

do i feel cheesed off

Da Cebuano · Mar 11, 2006, 03:58 PM // 15:58

not really, those 2 shards alone cost 4x your entrance fee, although I do feel for you on that chest drop, chest drops really ain't worth for me, they suck ass. I can't imagine paying 1600(or 1200) for a key that'll give you a purple no mods item. Anet should really stop doing that ****. If they wanna stabilize the economy so much, then chest drops should be decent atleast some other times so people get good stuff easier.

When was the last time you played the game? Clean purple items stopped dropping months ago - maybe even at the same time as keys came in.
