Default Thanks for sharing it!

Just did my first ever UW farms. Since i had 1 UW passage scoll from the raptor farm i decided to give it a try and i must say that the running part is annoying.

1st run: 4 ectos, black dye, 3 golds, new scoll
2nd run: 1 ecto, 1 gold, new scoll, died on trap (only aatxes)
3rd run: 4 ectos, 4 golds, new scroll (killed that one group of terrorwebs)

I must say not a bad start with "free" try and still can do at least 1 more "free" run. I changed inferno and phoenix to LF+MR.

Ps. The videos helped alot, so thanks for them sabeRed!

Tried this build for the first time today.
Took me a couple of times to get it right but after a while I got to the chaos planes.
Got 5 ectos and 5 passage scrolls, not too shabby, even if it did take me 40mins.
Gonna keep on using this build before they nerf it, which they probally will end up doing.

edit : 32 mins and 8 ectos in my second run

I tried to do this run for my first time today.

After some runs I got the idea and managed to do some succesful runs (I failed a lot because of horrible rubberbanding and lagging).

Overall, I got 4 golds, one black dye and only one Ecto. Yes, only one. And I got to the Chaos Plains in 3 runs. I hope my luck will get better

Hmmm, I for the past 5 or so runs I have had only 2 ecto a run drop, pretty consistent but not very good.

tried this several times, the one thing stopping me is i always get hit with a trap, even though i dash over them. do you have to dash at a certain time, or am i just unlucky?

EDIT: Don't know what was wrong before, just did a successful run with 5 ectos, a black dye, and a gloom shield. Needless to day, i'm quite pleased

Call your ISP. This has nothing to do with GW.

Some assasins are really greedy.

I was just about to do a run when I saw this assasin asking if anyone can show him how to do the run. So I thought I would be nice and show him how to do it. Anyways, we go in and I clear the main room and then start heading towards the mountain. Then at the door they are blocking it so I cant run by, so I die. Then when were about to go in again he says that since I died that if we get over 4 ectos he gets them all. I told him that since im helping him that he can have 1-2 ectos and I get the rest, but he tells me that he gets over 4 since I suck. So I left him, then these message started coming :



I hope no one has shown him how to do the run.

Well usually people arent such assholes to me and are actually quite nice, so if I get like 6 ectos then I wouldn't mind giving them one.

i used to use the phoenix and inferno build, but now i use mark and lava font, and its just so much easier, and around the same time also. you never have energy problems, and also i had great luck on my first try with lava font and mark. I got 8 ecto, 3 golds, 2 scrolls, and one white dye. I'd say that was a pretty good run in my mind . and im averaging around 28 minute runs with the second build. but without vipers i use dash for traps and speedness.

Can someone help me? I just tried this build and at the first set of Obsidian trappers I wasn't able to go pass them... they used up all the free space and they weren't on the side like the screenshot shows

Lol, it was probably a waste of time but I aggroed 4 BDRs at once today, killing 36 Mindblades at once was a kick, still only 1 ecto from them -_-.

I Will Heal You Ally - Unfortunately thats the luck of the draw, sometimes they spawn and fill that entrance, other times there will be a gap.
If you desperately need that 1k entrance fee then run around killing the aataxes hoping for an ecto or two, otherwise just resign

Not a nice person, that. However, guru has a policy saying you may not include the names of people screenied in game unless you have their permission. Might want to blur his name out.
