So, this build is made to farm the Kveldulf cave west of Gunnar's hold. They are all warriors including boss (which this build doesnt kill) so i guess you can kill them for warrior tomes if u need them. Im not quite sure what else they drop since i usually just do like 2-3 runs for fun, and not to actually get something. But you never know, took me alot of runs to figure out that Raptors dropped Elemental swords before i realeased the very first build. So i guess this is just another cave you can farm if you want. Run takes about 3 minutes for me.

E/Me
[Glyph of Swiftness][Mist Form][Frigid Armor][Burning Speed][Mantra of Resolve][Channeling][Aura of Restoration][Optional]
Water Magic 11+3+1
Energy Storage 5+ (i use 5+2, the more the better really)
Fire Magic 4
Inspiration Magic 12
Staff of enchanting for equip.

Optional slot would optimaly be I Am Unstoppable so you cannot get crippled, but if you dont have it bring Fire Attunement.

Pretty much, you run in the cave and aggro everything but the north east patrol since they wont pull that far, and pull the whole group to the indentation to the left of the "nest" of Fenrir. When they flee, they flee north so you just block em. Keep your spells up and you should be fine, and just spam burning speed. 20+ should die, boss like i said, doesnt. The only caution to watch for is Mist form. You need to precast GoS right before the recharge ends because you have about 1.5 seconds to cast Mist form (which is a 1 second cast time, so you have no time for GoS). Like i said, this probably isnt a profit making farm, but just another monster that can get killed with no sweat. If anyone discovers anything close to rare, post here so the rest can find out. Have fun. -Nina Draconian

You can get an Archaic Maul from the locked chest in that cave. Why not use perma sliver? You can kill everything in there then. Unless you just wanted to make a uniquie build

Well, perma sliver is nice. but once i get down to a couple left its a hassle i think. and this works just as nice. kills em all in 1 minute. since it takes about 1-2 minutes to actually get in the cave.

Archaic Maul, Warrior tomes, Plat weps (mostly broad swords) and a nice skin on his green.

I used to farm this guy when EotN first came out and Plat weps was going for...more than they do now. Nothing quite like getting a 'rare' skin on a expansion that just came out

Your build works but imo just go perma silver

anyone know how much a Archaic Maul goes for?
Happy farming!

There is a Burning Speed Frigid Armor Perma build that was made for UW. Just use it and get the same effect and not worry about when Mistform is going to end.

Why not add Air of Superiority in that last slot, if you are not going perma?

Rothan Celt · Dec 03, 2008, 01:27 PM // 13:27

could use air of sup but imo these things do not die as fast/ as much (meaning not as many) as the baby raptors.

If for some reason you HAVE to farm these guys, just use the sf shadow bomber....

Yep this will work as well. I kill the cave every so often on my way to the vaetirrs just to see if i can pick up a maul.

The build in the OP can be run by an ele w/o consumables - not everyone has a sin, or can afford the consumables to perma shadowform.

_Nihilist_ · Dec 03, 2008, 09:50 PM // 21:50

It takes all of a few minutes to create a 'Sin, and less than a day to lvl, Ascend, and get your stuff together. Time is not a valid excuse, neither is money. If nothing else, you can use sweets from Holiday drops - we just had 2.

[ EDIT ]

If you have an open slot, why not take some Direct Damage as well? As long as you don't hit them all more than once every ~3 seconds or so, they won't scatter due to AoE. This could help with dropping the boss, and making for a faster run in general.

I guess you could bring Vapor Blade but, up to you i guess

I kill this guy with keg farming as a change from vaettirs, also kill char with Invaders quest. Quick, easy although can get boring

600/Smite can clear the cave including the boss, as well. This build looks pretty good for some solo action, though. I think that that E/Me elite-less Raptor farming build would work well here, but it might require some testing.
