ok after the update with Dhuum most of the farming builds dont work any more so can anyone tell me of one that still works. any class thx

If are you refering to dual uw as in the old 55/ss builds, they are still viable, using a modified monk bar (spirit bonder instead of 55). Check out my build at: http://pvx.wikia.com/wiki/Build:Team_-_SB/SS_UW_Farmer

If u need any tips I'm the man to ask

dann12 · Jan 31, 2010, 05:52 PM // 17:52

no i mean a solo build

sonofthort · Jan 31, 2010, 05:58 PM // 17:58

Look under dervish section and you will notice alot of them say UW. CLick on them, and if they are not archived, they are still viable. There's also a few under warrior.

A channeling/communing hyrid SoS spirit rit with painful bond.

Clear all aatxe & skeletons(along with others) in the chamber area including heading towards vale, wastes, chaos plains. Typically if you dont get at least one ecto you'll get your money back through merching the drops. Rezone 1-3 ectos common.

If you want... Can clear chaos planes with the SoS rit too. I recommend taking splinter and longbow. When you pop the mindspectres, learn to place spirits in a pulling typing position. Longbow them. Pull spirits to a spot where the spectres will group together. Utilize high ground to longbow/splinter as added damage to make things go faster.

If I want to clear chaos plains, sometimes I take 3 heros to get me there faster.....although you can just solo only 2 groups of aatxe at the very beginning. Take chamber quest, kill 3 sets of grasps...then head to the chaos plains...clearing only whats needed, including the 2 groups of Obsidians at the top of the stairs at chaos plains. It helps give you space to run if needed. 3-6 ectos common. Typically I get at least 5 and got upwards of 10 or 11.

Two tips. Always put vampirism just a little behind others. It will keep you afloat when hexually degening as long as you run out of aggro range of the spectres. When fighting aatxe put shadowsong a little behind others.

Most will say stick with chamber run. General thought..its quicker and will yield more in the long run. I do chaos plains because I like a little more of a challenge.

Summon spirits, Armor of Unfeeling, Painful Bond(or splinter), SoS, Pain, Shadowsong, Vampirism, Bloodsong. Theres no energy management via a skill, just have to learn to do it on your own.

It usually comes down to pulling graspings, taking them out, then running to wastes. Pretty simple. Just use brains when pulling, a bow might help.

You only need to kill the graspings in the initial chamber so that you open the gate to waste, once you that, you run past everything to get to wastes, and farm smite crawlers only. Graspings are worthless for farming because they do not drop ectos, the whole point is to farm smites. Also, avoid skeletons of Dhumm.

Trader of Secrets · Feb 01, 2010, 01:31 AM // 01:31

For those who dont know, after kill the 3 groups of graspings to open the chamber up there are also a group of grasping pops on the exits of the chamber. So run as if u are about to exit and group the graspings back in the "safe zone" to kill them. The path to wastes is then clear.

dann12 · Feb 01, 2010, 01:52 AM // 01:52

now i just need to find a way to get around the skeletons

ok well ive been farming for a while and ive only gotten 1 ecto

The edit button isn't there because it looks good - Marty

solo farming uw is lame, either learn a whole party build, or a dual build. They are expodentially faster and yield much larger returns.

dann12 · Feb 01, 2010, 10:51 PM // 22:51

im lvling a monk right now so i can duo

hey so can a duo _SB/SS_UW_Farmer farm the whole UW?

T1Cybernetic · Feb 02, 2010, 11:08 AM // 11:08

It used to be possible but take a very long time yes! Also there are a ton of things still available to farm the underworld but the one with the most detail is this one.

It's actually a sticky :P and although methods are slightly different, things are not that much different in the underworld apart from the skeletons and the end boss...
