Curse

Hi, nothing new but i wanted to post a build with warrior skills only and basically couldnt find a detailed enuf way to farm cave.

Cave video, umm how to pull etc. video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYAfECBxZFc

Self explannatory to those who hasnt farmed fow b4

RUN TIME
MY AVERAGE FOR CAVE: 35-40 mins
MY AVERAGE FOR BEACH 5-8 mins

Profit per one run:
Usually 1 Chest spawns at entrance of cave after or before u clear the front groups
4k+ merch food [Id'ing /salvaging]
Obsidian Shards [At least 1]
Gold items

Equipment:
Armor
Knights Helmet of Superior Swordsmnship [+1 Swords]
Knights Chest of Superior Absorption
Knights Leggings of Superior Vigor
Knights Gloves of Minor Tactics
Knights Foot of Minor Strengh

i was missing 2 knights insignia during vid/pics so you will most likely take less damage with the extra 2 insignias

Weapon & Shield

Any maxed Sword 15^50 or 15% stanced
Zealous preferbaly / sundering / vampiric / furious [Spiders]
Fire [Snarling driftwoods]
+30hp pommel

Any maxed shield
Tactics or strengh (req requirement what ever fits your attributes)
+30hp or +45 stanced
-2 stanced [if only one shield]
+10vspiercing[Spiders]
+10vsslashing[Snarling driftwoods]

Attributes
Sword Mastery 10+1+3 [14]
Tactics 11+1 [12]
Strengh 10+1 [11]
note:If ur not using dolyak its better to pu strengh down to 9 and rest in tactics or swords and if ur using dolyak put str up to 11-12

Skills and variants:

Orginal Template Code: OQMU8ioS16O8V/Cg5twVCA9VDLA

Variant Template Code: OQMU8ioS16O8V/CgZxdVSLBADLA

Flails not neccasary but without a ias everything feels slower

Sever and gash is also not neccasry and can be replaced by other attack skills as it is counterproductive killing spiders but yeah can be replaced with other skills

Can be done With axe, same attributes ax mastery and 2-3 axe skills

Must Have:
Sprint / enraging charge
Heal Sig
Dolyak/WY

Getting to FOW & BEACH
Step 1:
ok...pay for a free chest group if u want or forest farmer, 50/50 or all, or go in by urself by talking to champion of balthazar

Step 2:
Upon arrival into fow make ur way to the beach eiher by urself or wait until someone charges, assuming u know the way

Killing

Snarling Driftwoods:
These guys are weak and should be no problem to handle
Dolyak/WY -> Flail -> Sever+gash -> dead

Doubters Dryder:
These guys are are also weak and should be no problem to handle
Spam skills -> Flail -> Sever+gash -> dead

Armored caved spiders:
These guys are dangerous when they are in a ginormous group, so pull 1 at most or 2 if u think ur tuf mofo
Dolyak/WY -> Flail -> Shields up[when ever you can]-> Sever ONLY!-> Gash@ 25% hp -> dead

if u fail at pulling 1 group at a time it will be explained below
If u cant get ur group to split up then look below or watch vid

Notes:
Orginal build Has chest running potential in a group
Can add secondary proffesion skills to your liking but this works just fine
ONLY HEAL when u interrupted Healing Spring , which you should be able to get 3-4 heals if u really need it because if they get a healing spring off, might take another 30 seconds to take him down

pulling them : Shown in the video and ill try explain here
1. pull one group with a long/flatbow [i didnt have one at the time]
2. USE THE WALLS
3. pull them back slowly while moving backwards
4. When they lose aggro, Hit speed buff and chase after them, at this point 1 or all should be seperated
5. Attack!!

And if u pull them far enough they get stoned and do jack all and let you pound them...show below:

anyways its best to watch video even tho i rushed it, should explain to you how to pull the spiders if u dont know how

And of course drops...

WILL ADD MORE PICS when i have time

Happy farming

Looking great man. I'll be sure to try this considering I've got lots of warrior tomes sitting around!

Is all that loot from one run?

EDIT:

FIRST

Tokolosi · Feb 28, 2008, 04:10 PM // 16:10

This is Racthoh's build, with a few Nightfall skills?

Also, maybe you could use Hundred Blades with Whirlwind attack instead of Dslash and others. Zealous would help with the energy..

Gj anyway, took your time to write it all up.

Burning Blade · Feb 28, 2008, 04:39 PM // 16:39

isn't Bleeding (caused by Server Artery) counter effective because it makes their Melandru's Resilence more effective?

Getting to FOW & BEACH
Step 1:
Hide your proffesion as w/mo and join a chest run group (make sure no beach farmers) then dont tell anyone ur farming beach and get a free ride to fow or just simply pay for yourself

encouraging griefing is not welcomed I believe. I was wondering why so many dead people in your party bar.

Steboy93 · Feb 28, 2008, 05:09 PM // 17:09

Looks like a decent guide which i might try later, however as said above i would not go about encouraging griefing.

Perhaps join a chest run group and go 50/50 with a forest farmer.

Qdq Swi · Feb 28, 2008, 05:46 PM // 17:46

looks good.. might try it sometime.

not.cool.

I was more than willing to applaud you for your variation on the beach farming build, but now i see you dont deserve any praise.

masta_yoda · Feb 28, 2008, 07:54 PM // 19:54

nothing wrong getting a free ride to fow but ok ill edit it out...... and burning blade if u read thru the the skills bit thoroughly i already said sever is counter productive but they will be getting +1 regen at most and sever+gash is only deepwound for sword

Pretty sure people did it faster when they just had Prophecies skills. Vigorous Spirit (1/4 cast buff makes it viable) and Live Vicariously lets you actually fight without all that pulling nonsense once the dryders are down.

Abedeus · Feb 28, 2008, 08:11 PM // 20:11

Well, W/Mo with Sprint, some non-condition-inflicting attacks, flail, Balthazar's Spirit + Shield of Regeneration + Shielding Hands is more than enough to finish everything in 30-40 minutes. Your build is just... slower.

Plus I dislike the fact that you want to hijack a group of runners... Not too classy.

masta_yoda · Feb 28, 2008, 08:48 PM // 20:48

yeh its most likely faster using w/mo but using warrior skills is fine to me, though this build is obsolete

and i guess pulling is not neccasry if u got enough dmg reduction

Shiney · Feb 28, 2008, 09:21 PM // 21:21

Really, griefing other players just to avoid a 1k entrance fee is despisable. If this is a successful farm then pay for yourself. If you can't cover the 1k fee, then go farm somewhere else.

Tokolosi · Feb 28, 2008, 11:32 PM // 23:32

Anyone got a link for that/a W/Mo beach and cave build?

Smokestajdh · Feb 29, 2008, 05:03 PM // 17:03

this made me think of a build i used to use to actually chest run that could also farm cave and beach at a slower rate, using basically charging strike + Healing Sig + Watch urself, but man i dont like the fact u hi jack chest runs, and if i see ppl do it i usually stand next to them when they farm, and more than half the time i take there shards and give half to the person who paid for the run. and the rest are mine for taking the time to annoy the farmer

Well, you're disguised as a runner, get into a free chest run group and split off from the group = free cave run = bad.

Fuzzy Taco · Mar 01, 2008, 02:02 AM // 02:02

you're using people, unbeknownst to them, to attain something for yourself at no cost to you. sounds kinda bad to me.
