In order to do this farm, you must have the Quest: The Hoylcon Job, Recieved from Cpt Lexis in Cavalon. (Hes by storage)

Here is some of the items you will be farming.

Weapon i use :

any weapon will do, enchantment wep will be best.
do not use and wep with HCT Earth magic, it will disrupt the combo.

Attributes:

E/Me

Skills:
[skill]Meteor Shower[/skill] [skill]Bed of Coals[/skill] [skill]EarthQuake[/skill][skill]Aftershock[/skill] [skill]Aura of Restoration[/skill] [skill]Mantra of Earth[/skill][skill]Stoneflesh Aura[/skill] [skill]Stone Striker[/skill]

Now Enter Hardmode.

Ok, we start from:

Then follow this path:

The Farm:
When u get to the Res Shrine you will see a Bridge.
walk across it about half way, and 4 Luxon Assassins will pop up.
Cast your Armor buffs and wait for them to attack you.
Cast your skills 1-2-3-4
then they will scatter, quickly recast ur armor buffs and then use Aftershock until there dead.
Walk Across the Bridge and you will see a Canthan Peasant right infront of you, thhats were the next pop up is.
Asoon as they pop up cast your enchants. wait for them to attack you and repeat the process.

When thhere dead, walk over to the canthan Noble were more pop ups are.. kill them and move on.
Directly opposite from were u came is another Canthan Peasant, walk over to him for the next group.

When there dead walk between the 2 houses following the path. 4 Assassins will pop up, repeat process of killing them.

in front of you, you will see another Noble, walk up to him and 6 Assassins should pop up. if not walk left and right to make them spawn.
kill them with the processes above.

You WILL Take damage, but with AoR you will survive each mob.

This can be done in normal mode, and its alot easier, u can aggro every single Assassin, so its alot faster, but most of there golds are non max.

Good luck, hope you enjoy it.

Questions Welcome.
Any improvements are also welcome.

Very nice, too bad I don't have an ele. Do you think this can be farmed with a monk? I'm about to go check it out.

EDIT: 55 Mo/N works pretty well.

Awsome, cant wait to try this. Also, can u confirm if this can only be done with elementalist or with monk, necro and warrior as well?

onerabbit · Apr 28, 2007, 03:23 PM // 15:23

@ lacasner, it can be done with a monk/necro in normal mode np, as they dont run.

not tried it in HM with monk or necro.

W/Rt will prob work though, again havent tried it.

lacasner · Apr 28, 2007, 03:33 PM // 15:33

Yea I thought so, because of the sins it shouldnt be a problem for it to be farmed.

Prize_check_asker · Apr 28, 2007, 03:39 PM // 15:39

Meh... too bad, already done the quest >_< meh...

Anyway, great guide

AscalonWarrior · Apr 28, 2007, 03:41 PM // 15:41

Too bad I've already completed this quest with my Elementalist -_- I'll hope that warrior can do this too

S h e r r y · Apr 28, 2007, 04:21 PM // 16:21

ok, i came up with a build for warrior to farm JUST THE ASSASSINS (its still well worth it)

Vengeful was Khanhei
Vengeful Weapon
Bonnetti's Defence
Healing Signet
Dolyak Signet
Deadly Riposte
Sprint
Enraging Charge

12 restoration
9 tactics
11 strength

when the assins pop up, wait a few seconds, then use dolyak and VwK, use vengeful weapon whenever it is recharged, and deadly riposte when possible. 1 and 1/2 VwK's should kill all the assins, and you can pick up your drops

repeat for other groups

(i just did a run: 8 minutes, 17 seconds , 3 gold armor, 5 cupcakes, 1 jade shard, 7800xp)

i usually get a gold armor and a few purples per run, and a run takes like 7-10 minutes. it also helps to bring a lockpick every run, as there is almost always a locked chest on the run there.
ta ta. hope this has helped

Nice Guide m8

been doing this for awhile after u shown me it, never got any good drops like this tho

im just bad luck

Uriah Heep · Apr 28, 2007, 05:32 PM // 17:32

Are those golds from the Locked Chest nearby or by the Luxon Assassins? Did about 10 runs, only got white/purple runes and other junk.

onerabbit · Apr 28, 2007, 06:33 PM // 18:33

Nope, all them golds are from the Assassins.

they are still pretty rare, ur not gnna get a gold within a few runs

prob a few luxon grabs

dies like fish · Apr 28, 2007, 06:44 PM // 18:44

So far I've found a lot of Gold Runes, a req.11 earth Platinum Wand +5en enchant, and a Colossal Pick.

Forgot, also got Stilletos and some shields

Ati · Apr 28, 2007, 07:33 PM // 19:33

You have two choices a) keep running b) dont aggro them. I keep plan b) the best, I avoid the oni spawns altogether.

dies like fish · Apr 28, 2007, 07:57 PM // 19:57

If I aggro the Onis, I just cast Prot Spirit really fast and run away. They actually break aggro rather quickly.

lacasner · Apr 28, 2007, 08:03 PM // 20:03

Btw, is there a farm build for oni's? Just wondering, even though their spawns tend to be random

dies like fish · Apr 28, 2007, 08:31 PM // 20:31

An Oni farm would be tough. None of these builds would work because of shadow shroud. A warrior or maybe Shadow Form sin might work

thedeadwalk! · Apr 29, 2007, 01:58 AM // 01:58

Even if the onis kill you, you're taken to the rez shrine by the bridge. Just take off the -50 cesta and lose the DP from the first group. -15% and even -30% DP can be worked off rather easily in HM.

protein · Apr 29, 2007, 02:23 AM // 02:23

there is a farm for the onis...a rit can farm them with the VWK build

vlein · Apr 29, 2007, 03:35 AM // 03:35

havent gotten a single gold drop
