Won't the Kaolin Sword do?
You know precisely where to farm that.

It isn't as if it doesn't have good mods... and you can't dye anything but the handle on standard Platinum Blades anyway. ^_~

Hey Witte, thanks for the build. I finished hells precipice yesterday and started farming on hardmode with the first build using SS and IP. Havent found a place that gets great drops yet. I did get a black dye from the Mergoyles outside the Gates of Kryta though. Any suggestions on better places to use that build? I'm not sure how to get to those titans yet. So far I have been able to take on the Hydras outside Augary Rock, the Desert Griffons and some enchanted bows/axes/swords outside of Dunes. Are there some higher lvl places to go?

And when doing the Mergoyle run, I cant seem to get past the Bog skale blighter or the mergoyle wavebreaker(not sure which). I think I'm getting an enchantment stripped or getting interrupted not sure. I mostly get through the first 5 or 6 groups of mergoyles then die. Any suggestions?

(FIRST POST- YAY!)

Curious... I thought the Zealous mod was the most popular on any attacking weapon.... Ah well, not to everyone's tastes I suppose. ^_^

Just a thought though.... Logically speaking, if the Constructs all have Kaolin Weapons, and the Kaolin Weapons all have the Platinum Skin..... AND Constructs are basically just larger, more powerful Shiro'ken....

... Then shouldn't Shiro'ken be the best choice for farming Platinum weapons?

And as such wouldn't Raisu Palace be the locale of choice?
If not that then killing the constructs themselves and all their afflicted friends might do it.

Sundering is easily the most popular

Well I know I'm in HM, and I'm having poo poo drops from the bosses I solo also. So he's not the only one with that problem. And I'm doing 6 to 10 runs a night. The only thing bosses have dropped are whites, blues, and a cruddy purple or two. Most of my golds and tomes (Basic ones) come off the regular folk.

In any case.... my having mentioned the Kaolin Weapons..... can the Mo/D 55 build take down Afflicted and Shiro'ken? ...

I'm figuring it might be worth trying to tackle the Constructs.... except possibly the Monk's Construct if I could somehow get around him ... (I know how persistant he is at self-healing in Normal.. In Hard Mode it would just be obscene without Spoil Victor at the very least, and the Necro 55 can't handle heavy degen).


[Edit]: Nevermind that.
Afflicted Mesmers AND Necromancers FTL... ¬_¬

You'd probably need not only Spellbreaker for the Mesmers.... but a second person using Greater Conflagration to shut down Order of Apostacy... >_<;
