Default Farming DoA : Foundry, Stygian Veil, City and Gloom

Hi there!

After some days of working and trying I'm finally done!

You can do these farms with 2 hero's or with 2 human players.

[In some of my screenshots the skillbars might be slightly different. Ignore it.]

Let's get started.

[This one is also possible with a Mo/Me and a R/Mo but this one is easier]

Template :OgMScVMLIX5vdyTKBAAgMB
_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________

The Farm :

*Note : sometimes a Margonite Ranger will still be alive even after the warriors are death. Make sure to let the other players bring Lightbringer's Gaze* When you're not with players but with hero's, try to bring Spirit Shackles instead of Channeling

Cast your enchantments and let the hero's cast their enchantments on you. Now walk trough the portal and don't forgot to get the blessing for your LB points!

Now let the Famine Ranger cast Serpent's Quickness and Quickening Zephyr. Now cast Spell Breaker and run to the group of Margonites. When you're close to them cast both Visages to drain their energy. Now let your hero cast Famine and make sure you keep the Visages up all the time. They should die within a minute.



After you've killed the Margonites, a group of Titans will appear. Walk to the corner of the chamer and repeat with your Visages.



Go to the next room and repeat.

The Farm :

*Note : for this farm you'll need 2 armors sets: a 55 hp set (actually make sure you have 105 health without the -55 hp chesta) and a 600 hp set.*

[Start with your 105 hp set]
Let the hero's cast the enchantments on you and make sure you've also casted your enchantments on yourself. [Don't let the monk cast Life Attunement on you yet] Now let the Ranger cast Quickening Zephyr and Serpent's Quickness. Now cast Protective Spirit and Shielding Hands followed by Spell Breaker and lure the all the groups of Margonites. Now go and spam your Visages!



Within a minute the Warriors and Dervishes will be death. Now let the monk cast Life Attunment on you and quickly switch to your 600 hp armor set. Now the other Margonites should die within a minute.



Again, there might be one Margonite Ranger who survived the massacre. Finish him with the Lightbringer Gaze's or just move on to the next group since the ranger will just follow you and die in the next group. [Make sure to un-cast Life Attunment when facing warriors again and switch to your 55 hp set.]
_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________

When it's too easy for you, try and go 600 hp only with famine



Just make sure Spirit Bond is casted immediately after it runs out.

The Farm :

This farm is very easy. Cast all the enchantments available on you and let the Ranger cast Quickening Zephyr and Serpent's Quickness. Now cast Spell Breaker and lure the first group. Walk slowly to the rangers and monks so their energy will also get drained because of the warriors who are near them.





Now repeat to the next groups. When facing an Abbysal, you might be unlucky when he knocks you down right when you cast Spell Breaker. Maker sure you cast Spell Breaker when you're on the ground because he won't knock you down that soon. If you're having troubles with it, try to bring Guardian instead of one of the Visages.
_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________

When this is too easy for you, try the harder and faster way and go 600 hp / Famine.



Just make sure Spirit Bond is casted immediately after it runs out.

I'm almost done with this one. It's definitely the hardest area but I'll make it

Enjoy!

Good job on guide Witte but this isnt exactly anything new....600/smite/famine have been around for ages in DoA this is just a slight variation to all areas. Really on worth your time to farm Titan gems though.

I didn't say it was new Although the tactics I used in the City is quite new I believe..and the farm in the Stygian Veil is much easier than The Foundry. I believe it's faster too

Could you slot in [skill=text]Symbiosis[/skill] to lower the risk in the 600 / Smite setup?

I'm not sure the hero's will get loot since I'm getting allot of drops..you also don't share the experience if you flag the hero's far enough. The only thing you share are the money drops

See...this just makes me want to start up a Monk and go "Dude, I can farm some of the darkest parts of Tyria. The Gods are nothing to me!" now...

Course, that goes and gets your killed eh?

Kudos Witte! Glad to see you are back and in full force no less.
