Here is the Rt/Mo 105hp VwK Solo Builds I had put together for all your HM farming needs. You can farm just about anything with these builds. You can farm Corsair, Insects, Spiders, Dragon Moss, Luxon Sins, Jade Brotherhood, Minotaurs, Kappa, Naga, Sickened Servants, Blade Aatxes in UW, Undead, Skale and More. Check it out! Will add more builds when I find new areas and new things to farm.

(note: This is an updated Thread of my original one)

================================================== ========

Armor/Weapons/Items: (equipment for all the builds below)

*Any max Radiant or Hacylon's armor can be used.
*1 Superior Restoration on Head Wrap, 1 Superior Channeling, 1 Superior Communing, and 2 Superior Spawning. This will be a total of 5 Superior runes needed to bring your health down to 105hp.
*Any inscribable Staff with 10% Swift staff head, 20% Enchantment wrapping, and any energy inscription. Staff has 20% chance of recharge, which helps speed things up a bit when VwK recharges faster.
*Or, you can use any sword or axe with +5 energy and 20% enchants, with any restoration, healing, or protection offhand. I use a Fiery Blade Axe of Enchanting with +5 energy and 20% enchants with req 9 Writhing Focus of Swiftness that has +1 restoration (20%) "Master of My Domain" inscription. I also use a Swift Spawning Staff of Enchanting (10% swift, +15% "Seize the Day", 20% enchant wrap).

================================================== ========

105hp Rt/Mo Vengeful Resilient: (for farming areas with little or no degen)

Template Code: OAOi8wh8YxIe1j76KZipPkHA

Attributes:

Restoration: 12+3+1 (16)
Protection: 12

[build prof=rt/mo nosave box][Vengeful Was Khanhei][Vengeful Weapon][Protective Spirit][Shield of Absorption][Shielding Hands][Resilient Weapon][Essence Bond][Balthazar's Spirit][/build]

Usage: Cast enchants upon entering zone. Cast Protective Spirit, Resilient, and Shielding Hands for pulling enemies. Before Shielding Hands wears off hit VwK, or keep up SoA and Shielding Hands to pull big groups with mostly casters. While holding VwK ashes, there is no need to use SoA or SH. If degen is occuring just keep Resilient Weapon on all the time, and don't use Vengeful Weapon as it will cancel out Resilient. Spam Vengeful Weapon when there is no occuring degen. Also, as described above, cast SoA couple seconds before VwK wears off. When SoA wears off use Shielding Hands, and you should have enough time to reduce all damage until VwK is up and ready for use again. Renew Resilient Weapon when holding VwK with degen.

================================================== ========

105hp Rt/Mo Vengeful Rage: (for different farming areas with no degen. Does good spike damage. Great for Dragon Moss, Insects, Luxon Assassins, and more. Mainly melee enemy groups without casters)

Template Code for Build: OAOk0EPa4KqjFzx5NrHrk7qwUeA

Attributes:

Restoration: 11+3+1 (15)
Channeling: 10+3 (13)
Protection: 10

Skill Set:

[build prof=rt/mo nosave box][Vengeful Was Khanhei][Spirit Rift][ancestor's rage][protective spirit][Shield of Absorption][Shielding Hands][cruel was daoshen][Balthazar's Spirit][/build]

Usage: Cast Balthazar's Spirit upon exiting town. Approach group, cast Protective Spirit, and SoA. Use Shielding Hands and SoA repeatedly until all enemies are pulled close. cast Shielding Hands before SoA runs out when pulling. Immediatetly cast Cruel Was Daoshen, Spirit Rift, hit Vwk, then Ancestor's Rage for big damage spike. Keep up Protective Spirit at all times. And possible to use another Spirit Rift while VwK is still active. Just before VwK wears off, hit SoA, Protective Spirit, Shielding Hands before SoA wears off, then repeat Line of Skills for Spikage. With acouple enemies left, use whatever you can to finish them. Don't drain your energy too much by using the combo of skills when there is only acouple of enemies left. Also, its good to get 2 or 3 groups together to keep up energy.

This works very well on Insects and Spiders in Plains of Jarin. Also, for farming Luxon Assassins in a Jade Sea quest "The Hacylon Job". Also, works good on Dragon Moss farming on the "The New Escort" quest outside Saint Anjeka's Shrine. And Im sure many more areas of farming.

Videos:

105hp Rt/Mo Plains of Jarin Insect Solo

105hp Rt/Mo Dragon Moss Solo

105hp Rt/Mo Luxon Assassins Solo

================================================== =======

105hp Rt/Mo Resilient Breeze (for Farming areas of high degen such as farming Corsairs at Zehlon Reach)

Template Code for Build: OAOj0gPaIPWs6xK5uCSmYyDRCA

Attributes:

Restoration: 12+3+1 (16)
Protection: 10
Healing: 8

Skill Set:

[build prof=rt/mo nosave box][Vengeful Was Khanhei][Protective Spirit][Shield of Absorption][Shielding Hands][healing breeze][resilient weapon][Balthazar's Spirit][mending][/build]

Usage:

Cast Enchants, 1 at a time to let energy gain to max. Then cast the others to save time on energy regen. Approach enemies, cast Prot Spirit, Shielding Hands and use SoA if running alittle ways to pull some enemies together. Use Healing breeze or Resilient Weapon if needed for degen while pulling group together. When you ready, hit Vengeful. Keep up Prot Spirit of course. Couple Seconds before Vengeful wears off hit Healing Breeze, then SoA just as VwK wears off, then hit or keep up Resilient Weapon. Just before SoA wears off, hit Shielding hands to reduce all damage and have plenty of time to hit VwK when its charged. When you are hexed and burning, keep up Healing Breeze and Resilient Weapon until it aint needed. If no Degen is occuring, no reason to waste energy on Healing Breeze and Resilient, just keep up SoA and Resilient when VwK wears off and is recharging. Make sure you keep up Protective spirit at all times, it wears of kind of quick. It does take a few runs or so to get used to learning the timing of spells, which can be difficult.

105hp Rt/Mo Zehlon Reach Solo (video)

================================================== ========

105hp Rt/Mo Blade Aatxe Solo: (for farming Blade Aatxes only in UW for Ectos. Use in NM or HM)

Template Code: OAOl8ggZoKmkzYx0i1DpZ1sc+NlH

Attributes:

Restoration: 10+3+1 (14)
Communing 9+3 (12)
Channeling: 9+3 (12)
Protection: 8
Spawning 6

Skill Set:

[build prof=rt/mo nosave box][Vengeful Was khanhei][Spirit Bond][Protective Spirit][Mend Body and Soul][Painful Bond][Bloodsong][Pain][Balthazar's Spirit][/build]

Usage: For first two groups of Blade Aatxes you can lay the spirits behind the Npc's for blockage. This is good incase of a emergency that involves Protective Spirit getting Interrupted. You can simply run around and stand behind NPC's, and Blade Aatxes won't move or attack you. It will give you a safe place to recast enchants.

When pulling, cast Protective Spirit and let recharge incase of a Dying Nightmare pops up. If Dying Nightmare Pop's up and strips your enchants, simply run and stand behind NPC where you put the spirits, and recast Balthazar's. After recasting Balthazar's, let energy gain full, then cast Protective Spirit and VwK and run out there and let them attack you to speed up killing. or you can chose to just stand there and keep hex'n them with Painful Bond without needing to do anything yourself. It will be just slower to kill them off.

So after casting Protective Spirit, and letting recharge, get close to Blades Aatxes without Aggro'n them (just out of earshot). Cast Painful Bond on them to pull. Turn around and walk towards spirits, close enough for them to attack enemies. Before the Blades reach you, cast VwK real quick to avoid getting Interrupted. When VwK wears off, cast Spirit Bond to keep you alive, and recast when it runs out, until VwK is recharged and ready to use. If Spirit Bond gets interrupted, cast Mend Body and Soul to help keep you alive long enough until next Spirit Bond or VwK is ready to use. Keep up Protective Spirit, and Spirit Bond (only when VwK is down). Use VwK anytime it is chaged to speed things up. Try not to spam Spirit Bond if its still active to save on energy, and only use Mend Body and Soul for an emergency heal if Spirit Bond gets interrupted. When the group is dead, use Mend Body and Soul to heal up and cure bleeding. Then move on to next group. Also, try not to let Blade Aatxes attack spirits, unless you have to evade. Always lay spirits in a spot where you can keep them close and safely behind you.

================================================== ========

Well, theres my First farming build post. I will update this post with more builds for farming different areas and creatures.

Hope you like them, I do. I tried just about every single solo farm out there for all professions, and I actually like this better than the more popular ones. Like the usual Rt/Me Echo VwK or 55 Monk and 55 Necro. But, definately a winner for farming Hardmode areas. I mainly been using nothing but my Ritualist for alot of different farms, and still searching for more. Any places that I should try out, let me know.

Any questions, my IGN for my Rit is "Nativ Spirit Lord". Pm if would like.

Peace out! and Have Fun

You just get the quest "Hacylon Job" from Captain Lexis in Cavalon. Keep it in your log and don't complete it. Ignore the marker on map near that ship and just go to the farming area.

ReZDoGG · Jun 14, 2007, 02:50 PM // 14:50

I added a video for soloing Blade Aatxes in NM. Will make a video of HM also.

NEOgeo · Jun 15, 2007, 05:17 AM // 05:17

i find it interesting how many drops u get in HM, i always knew that the speed of qich u kill the enemy dictates how many drops u get, and not just the speed but how many die at one time, i farm the dragon moss in hm with a 55hp soj monk and its much faster than rt, but they all die at the same time and your lucky if u get 3 things dropped, altho i still get a fair amount of gold gothic defenders there, im gona try this build now and intentionally make them die out of synch with each other and compare drops .

Yeah, I noticed this, and thats why using VwK is very good to use for drops since they don't all drop at once. Farming Dragon Moss only takes alittle over a minute with my "Vengeful Rage" build, as you can do pretty good spike damage with Channeling spells.

Fs i have already completed the Halcyon Job! Damn Luxon sins looked like the only thing worth farming...

There is another quest that you get from the Emperor's Hand in Raisu Pavilion. You need to do the "Naga Oil" quest, to unlock "Street Justice" quest. Street Justice quest you can also farm Luxon Assassins. It may take alittle longer to farm all of them, but there is just as many as in the Hacylon Job. So get the "Street Justice" quest and don't complete it, just farm it. Just hope you didn't complete it! lol.

aa thx m8 ill give it a go =D ty

ReZDoGG · Jun 16, 2007, 12:38 AM // 00:38

Updated the Blade Aatxe Solo build. I added the new Sunspear skill "Vampirism" instead of "Pain". Now you are able to put higher Restoration, Channeling, and Protection. I have not yet tried it out, but I'm 100% sure it will work better now. I will be making a new video of the Blade Aatxe run with the tweaked build.

RainwalkerC · Jun 19, 2007, 02:21 AM // 02:21

nice builds, thx will try out later

How do you deal with the mesmers in a group of jade brotherhood? they use signet of disruption which even disrupts 1/4 second skills like PS and soa. i can usually tank a group with one in for a little while but at some point he disrupts one of the vital skills. group with two mesmers and theres just no chance. there seems to be no monk/rit skills that i can see on wiki that can help avoid that signet.

The Jade Brotherhood I'm talkin about is just the 2 groups of 3 Jade warriors outside Marketplace. I haven't really found any other good spots to farm Jade Brotherhood other than outside marketplace. I usually farm them Warriors Jades when testing out builds or getting hang of a build. They still drop golds, but not often as it is close to town. Your better off farming Luxon Assassin's anyways...

vita lite · Jun 23, 2007, 09:46 AM // 09:46

ya ive pretty much given up on hat bit but you can go past lian boss and straight to the end and kill 9 warriors and 5 mage. get lots of golds from these guys. just shame about the mesmers. gonna try get that luxon quest

Avatar Exico · Jul 02, 2007, 03:04 PM // 15:04

I always wanted to farm Naga. There Bows are still worth money, farming them is tuff with the interpution but these rts builds look promsing and with the Rt/Mes Nerf it something i can look forward. Great Job. Im greatly looking into seeing the HM UW video that you make.

AscalonWarrior · Jul 02, 2007, 03:37 PM // 15:37

Thanks for the builds, got a req.9 Colossal Scimitar drop

The Naga I farm is on the Factions newb Island, as the Naga there have no Interruptions. I haven't tried farming Naga in Jade Sea at all. I can imagine they have interrupts, which can be a problem with these builds. And I'm not sure if any Naga on newb Island drop gold Naga bows, possibly, but I haven't seen any.

I'm also further testing the Blade Aatxes solo in Nm and HM. Since I changed up the build without testing it out. I exchanged "Pain" to Vampirism, thinking it would help out. But the farm is a bit slower with Vampirism, so I will be testing it out with Pain. Also, meaning I will have to switch back to original build, using Communing. When I figure out which build I wanna keep, I'll make an HM video of farming Blade Aatxes in UW. I'm pretty sure the old build will be faster though.

In the video, you stop after the last Luxon assassin and don't go for Senkai, the boss. Does that mean he can't be farmed with your build?
