As of 2 weeks ago, I haven't been able to sell kaolin stuff(although I was asking 30k). Haven't really tried since then. I still see people in the zin corridor forming 4-man kaolin farming groups though, so either they are behind the times or there is still a market. I think its the former.

After argueing with 1 such person who was forming a team he was saying that the reason they do is because 'They don't have an assassin or elementalist' (or some just aren't in the know). The arguement been, i didn't see any reason to even bother farming them in a group. The waves of E/A//A/E leaving the Zin Ku exit alone getting ALL green drops to themselves and returning to sell them even before they'd formed a group. The effort in group farming them had absolutely no return, would be better finding a boss you could solo.

While farming Kunvie i've seen the odd person appear selling Dom staffs for 15k, Accursed for 10k. I honestly can't see how theres a market for them anymore. There is just too many of them now.

This build hates me...

okay I start by testing it on the scar eater. Works perfect. Tried it again failed miserably. Tried Strongroot failed miserable. Tried the constructs failed ultra miserably.

Silver armor never got strongroots health below 25% with all the monsters i could aggro. When i tried the constucts i was just about to kill ritualist when monk healed him to full in two seconds and it used vengeful weapon for another 100+health. The only way to kill any of the constructs is to get 2-3 groups together. Its never enough damage and im sitting their like a lone duck.

Before you say anything i was using ob flame and tenais crystals for extra damage.

ALL of the bosses in the Eternal Grove are doable. I love this build when it works, and I am incredibly infurated when anyone other than the boss is targeted.

I use the Dash, Gail, Aftershock build for all bosses except 1.
So here it goes.

Scar Eater, agro, kill

Time Eater, Aggro Kill

Flower w/e Rit Staff, Kill the time eater as all stone skins and undergrowth do melee dmg*!*!*!*!*! important

Janye Foeslight. Take the immediate right and run past the first group of stone skin undergrowth stuff. TARGET JAYNE. Pull the second 2 groups of stuff with you, run as close to Jayne group as you can, and cast SF because she always has a Mes with CoF with her, cast stuff she's dead.

Bramble Everthorn. 2 Ways
1. Run around right and forget Jayne Foreslight and DE, and Dash thru
them
2. Kill Jayne first and the DE, and Dash past the wardens onto the bridge,
Either way, you must TRY to aggro both groups of wardens that intersect near the res shrine outside of the eteranl grove misson, w/o some backup everthorns group does not do enough damage to kill him.

The water staff guy is surrounded by stone skins and undergrowth, full on melee dmg, I tried once and Sliver didn't target him but he is easilt doable.

Mossbeard just pull the Wardens to him, and dont aggro the Mantis.

UGLY STICK, can be done uber hard for me, never got killed him maybe twice.
you have to get the shrine right next to Timberr and agro as much as you can. I normally drop Shock for Glyph of Concentration so the MANY wardens of the spirit that around dont cry my SF.

Ty for making everyone jealous of assassins even if its only 1 weekend.

chichory · Oct 16, 2006, 02:45 AM // 02:45

Just a note to the above poster, everthorn is easy with just his group alone if you bring shadow of haste. Get him down to 1/5 on the first go, escape and you can go in again before he has healed up and easily finish him off.

Ok, Ive got good news for all of those that cant farm sunreach and all other hard bosses. Soon ( about tommorow or after tommorow) Ill post a video with the instruction on how to farm these bosses+picture descriptions cause videos are in low quality.

hope it will help. For any questions Pm - Jaina Wintervale or Monk Klausner in Game.

Jobudda · Oct 16, 2006, 08:15 PM // 20:15

Just wondering...

Can you farm the Ice Breaker with this build or something like it?
Tried but failed hope you can help.

Thnx

Evilsod · Oct 17, 2006, 01:04 AM // 01:04

Don't the Barbed Grawl carry Chilblains? There are probably more effective assassin builds capable of farming the Ice Breaker without using Sliver/Shadow anyway.

thx cant wait!

pegasux · Oct 17, 2006, 04:00 PM // 16:00

yeah they have chiblains but won't use it unless you get to close...just pull the hammer guys and you'll be fine. btw a plain 55 does the job just fine if your trying to get an icebreaker.

I cant wait either

Please make high quality downloadable video if possible. Thanks in advance.

Why does it need to be high quality? What fine points of detail do you need to show how to run into a boss and cast a few spells? If your can't see them been activated or where he's running you need your eyes testing.

Lol, if you think thats flaming i believe your dumber than i thought.

Personally i'd rather not have to download a stupidly large file just because someone took heed of your 'make it high quality' when it doesn't even need to be. I'm sure many people would rather download whats needed to be viewable.

If you can find an overwhelming majority of 'bitter' posts in this thread by me then perhaps you have a point, if you do then its probably down to answering the same stupid question over and over again. The answer been 'no we do not know, its random!'.

This is why I rarely post here anymore each pages has usally more then one person asking how do i get silver armor to target. I mean the level of incompetincy here is overwhelming. All the whispers I get ingame are "I know you said not to whisper you but" then leads to "how do I target *insert boss* with silver armor" I mean if people know not to whisper me why do it.

I'm not trying to be an complete ass but seriously every time I get a "I looked through the topic but couldn't find it Q/A" its been answered here many times.

You hit the nail on the whole quality thing Why make a huge ass file on filefont when youtube serves the purpose.

I think your problem Desires is that you've created a massively effective build which also requries a decent amount of skill to pull off. I personally am very grateful as although my first attempts were laughable I eventually got the hang of it and was able to get many greens I had though impossibel to solo. As a green collector this saved me a fortune.

The trouble is there seems to be alot of lazy button-thumpers out there who haven't the patience to learn the build even when it's been offered to them on a plate. Sucks to be them I guess.

I wouldn't say it needs that much skill. 90% of it is just common sense (which people who repeatedly ask how to make Sliver target obviously don't have). I mean, you can't do enough damage to a boss... bring more damage skills/agro more. Sliver keeps targetting somet else, bad luck it aint gonna die this run. Your getting hit by lots of skills/signets, glyph of concentration or dark escape. Your getting hit by enchantment removal, you aint gonna be able to farm em. Your getting killed, bring shadow refuge.
The only 1 thats slightly tricky to do is counter the burning from Burning Speed that can very easily kill you if Shadow Form runs out. That way been make sure Shadow Refuge is available to cast when SF runs out so you don't die from degen in 2-3 seconds.

The only part that requires skill is knowing how to use skills like Shadow of Haste and Deaths Charge effectively or knowing how to lure additional groups.

Has anyone else noticed that Shadow Form seems to be VERY inaccurate when it comes to leaving you with x health? Think the lowest its done so far was about 25 when it was suppose to do 41.

pegasux · Oct 18, 2006, 01:00 PM // 13:00

sry your getting spammed desires =(. same thing used to happen to me so i had to remove my ign from my profile. i hate to say it but there are a TON of people out there who are as inconsiderate as can be. i don't think there needs to be any other walkthrough then what is already here. if you guys are having problems then go practice it on the bosses in Noob island. btw i don't use shadow of haste...i attack with my -50 cesta going and as soon as SF ends i switch to my +30 off hand to get myself to 120hp =).
