Ok, now this farm has existed for a while, but it has been abandoned since the Shadow Form Nerf.
So it's time for Elite Rit tomes to drop in price =D The boss we are Farming is Tomton Spiriteater.

Reeeal Mean looking eh?

The Skills

[build=OgdVgo0uWm9LqBC3R6jdgH6rCH0FEA]

Code: OgdVgo0uWm9LqBC3R6jdgH6rCH0FEA

Variants

[Build=OgVFMFS5uLbkJwSg0H7AP0XFOoLI]

Echo sliver armor.This is good if you are struggling to kill the boss

[Ebon Battle Standard of Honor] - Good for Extra Damage, Switch either Intensity or Elemental Lord

[armor of mist] - A good running skill in place of Dark Escape or Channeling

[Feigned Neutrality] - If you have problems with traps, should give enough regen to keep you alive, try not to use skills while under its affect though

Equipment

Weapons: Either Droknars Earth Staff, Galigords Stone Staff or Flints Wand/Focus. The Weapons aren't really that important.

Armor: Full Radiant, +1 Earth Magic Head. Again the Radiants are not necessary but they do help.

Runes: Superior Earth Magic Rune, Minor/Major Energy Storage (Either will do) Attunements.

The Run

As You can see, You don't have far to travel to get to him, So Punch it into Hard mode and walk out of Aspenwood gate.

Use Dark Escape and run left until you come to a patrol, they will be moving up slowly, Careful not to aggro them. Now i have taken some time to put in depth directions on the Compass... yes it was done in MS paint. Now the white arrow shows where they will go, the blue arrow is your path. Stay as far right as you can and run up the little hill to the right. They will sit in the corner for a good 4 or 5 seconds, so this is plenty of time to run past.

In the unlikely event of you aggroing them, fear not! When this was done as with shadow form, aggroing them was pretty much run over, but now all you need to do is hit Mist Form. You will take no damage from them while this is up, but don't hang about, keep going right until you see....

Hold down CTRL and target Tomton Spirit Eater. Get closer, but do not aggro yet. Watch out for Rot wallowers as they will kill you, theres a patrol so be careful.

Cast Elemental lord, Then Mist form. Deaths charge to the boss, grabbing ass much aggro as you can to power up Sliver Armor. Cast Sliver, then intensity

After you kill the boss, use Glyph of swiftness then renew Sliver armor, Mist Form and intensity. Keep killing the Yeti.

Before Mist form runs out, and you want to continue killing all the yeti, Cast stoneflesh Aura and use Dark Escape. Dark escape halves the damage you will recieve so it is very useful. This should keep you alive until Mist Form has Recharged, which shouldn't be longer than 2 or 3 seconds. Finish off all the yeti then map back.

This run should only take 1 or 2 minutes, so don't worry if you struggle the first few attempts.

You do need to understand, Elite Ritualist Tomes aren't a guranteed drop every run, you can go 20 runs without getting one, so don't expect one every time you kill Tomton.

A Few Words From Me

First off, i do not claim to be the first to do this, and i hope my guide was in depth as much as necessary.

I appreciate Feedback and Constructive Criticism, I do not appreciate people replying with BUILD FAILZ EPIC LULZ, stick to ursan nerf posts if you like to feel good about posting crap.

I hope you enjoyed reading, and try to remember i have put time into this so don't rip it to shreds :P

I see you have Stormforged there, is there any particular armour level required or is it just straight 60?

well I used to farm this on my monk, and I noticed a few things might pose problems...

1. Rot Wallows. Sometimes you'll get a bad spawn.
2. Traps = not attacks (you take dmg and become poisoned) = die, meaning you'll be screwed if Tomtom spawns or is aggroed to the same place as one of the ranger yetis.
3. Ritualists, not 100% sure about this but if spirit's attacks/spells hit through mist form you could have a bit of trouble, as well as the vengeful weapons that they spam.

Other than that it should be good. One thing though, there's no reason to really kill the other yetis, as you'd be better off doing that by just running past and going up to Huhkrah Earthslove and farming the huge mob he has with him.

i think i use to farm him with a 55 monk with SS or something like that, havent tried it in a while think it still works though

Ultima pyromancer · Jul 19, 2008, 09:55 PM // 21:55

Ok thanks for the feedback guys

The armor i use is 60 al, as i stated full radiant insignias

The trap is only vipers nest that does like 49 damage, and poison for a short amount of time, either way you shouldn't have any problems with traps, i never have, even with shadow form. The rit spells do go through, but the damage is minimal and pose no threat. ill edit the guide to freigned neutrality or something, i used that to try and kill chebaba or whatever his name is and stayed alive fine, just not enough damage on him and sliver rarely targets.

To make the run there faster wouldnt Dwarven Stability + Dash be alot faster? (thats what I use)
With R10 Deldrimor ofc.
