Curse

Loshi · May 10, 2006, 07:30 AM // 07:30

Cantha. It's new. I like new things. I'm Loshi. Long time reader. I signed up to respond to a Wammo build yesterday, and decided to post one of my farming spots since I have an account now.

Okay, yeah, so, um.

Senji's Corner. W/Mo. Sup Vig/Abs.

Gladiator Chest/Legs. Asc Boots. Dragon Gloves. Wyvern helm. Thats what I use. Do whatever you want, honestly.

Razorstone, customized. Eternal Aegis (-5Dmg (Chance 20%) req9 Str) is what I use. Again, wtfever you want.

Healing 8
Strength... 10 sounds good.
Axe Mastery... 10 here too. That works.
Tactics.... 13 is an unlucky number, especially for Rodents.

Sup Axe, Minor for the Str and Tac. I have a Str Helm, too. (OMFG HE DONT HAVE WEAPON HELM) Yeah, because I can't afford 3 Weapon FoW helms... Yet.

Alright. Now, don't snicker just because I use two "OMFG WAMMO" skills. I usually detest being W/Mo, but I find the capability for farming unchallenged *Aside from Pure Warrior*

Bonetti's Defense
Cyclone Axe
Healing Hands (I'm an elite!

)
Penetrating Blow
Penetrating Chop
Dolyak Signet
Live Vicariously
And...
DUN dun DUUUUUUN - MENDING! *scares small children*

Okay, exit Senji's Corner, go West. Throw on Mending. Keep going west. Keep going. Okay, now keep going.

See the group of lvl 18 Rodent? Thats your practice. Toss on Live Vicariously. Bust face. HH Cyclone Bonetti Cyclone Bonetti, Healing Hands when needed. Penetrating Blow/Chop to finish off the hosers.

Okay, that was good practice. Loot up, continue North.

Group from the East, aggro them and train them to group near Westmost bridge. Take them all. Healing Hands to start, Cyclone, then Bonetti, Cyclone, Bonetti, Cyclone... They die, eventually. If your HP gets low due to Poison/Bleeding, Healing Hands is Glory. beware, they Knockdown, so always Cyclone DIRECTLY out of Bonetti to avoid it being interrupted, so you have the charged adren, THEN you can HH, THEN you Bonetti again.

Kill. Loot. Salvage/ID. Continue across bridge.

OMFG WTF ARE THESE HOSERS?! There's a little circular racetrack that I guess the Rodents have made to win the heart of their boss, Shreader. So, pull a group. Then another. Just, get as many as you want. I have a screenshot of about 30 of them on me, it's glory.

HH, Cyclone, Bonetti, Cyclone, Bonetti.

Remember: Dolyak Prevents Knockdown! If you're havign trouble getting off your intiial Cyclone Axe, plug your DOLYAK POWER in and you'll be fine.

So, yeah. It takes awhile, but it's reliable. You get lots of blues/whites, some keys, not bad XP considering the effort, and if you take down the Assassin boss, he has a pair of green daggers with a relatively unique skin.

So, there you go. If you have any questions, post them. If there's enough interest in this, I'll make some maps in MSPaint (FTW).

You can trade their hides for collector items which are on the way to them, from Senji's, they sell for 125g each as opposed to selling 5 Hides for 100g.

Also, if you die during the rodent rush, you'll spawn at a rez shrine just north of the bridge you must cross to murderate Shreader's Fanclub.

Also, as a closer, I'd like to say thank you to people like Kvndoom and Racthoh, for helping to show me that a warrior is more than 'LAWLZ I GET HIT KK FUN'. Thanks a ton for the farming guides, and I hope this is all well received.

All feedback/commentary is welcome, recommendations too. I whipped up the build in about half an hour... Heh.

By the way, I tried Gladiator's Defense, but their degen was too lethal, and they kept interrupting Healing Sig.

THOUSEND TIGERS APUND YOUR HEAD!

Edit: I just realized: I Will Survive!

Hrmm... Maybe ditch a Penetrating for IWS!? I think so!

Drop a Penetrating for I Will Survive!, if you so daaaare! Might not have enough damage to kill Shreader in reasonable time, though...

PICTOOR TIME

- IN ACTION!

- How to get there, loot, and my badass self. Oh, and a corpse.

EDIT:

Yay for Pegasux. I tried his build, and it works well too, but it's not as reliable, I had some REALLY close calls due to not having Dolyak up and getting KD'ed while I tried to Triple or Cyclone.

Bonetti's Defense
Dolyak Signet
Live Vicariously
Vigorious Spirit
Mending
Cyclone Axe
Triple Chop {E}
Swift Chop

By the way, Triple CHop is from Wing, THree Blade, whom is easily accessible from going nOrth of Marketplace.

Jesus tap dancing christ this man appears to have stairs in his house.

I'm going to test this build this friday when I can actually play.

Warrior Of Ascalonn · May 10, 2006, 07:58 AM // 07:58

Very nice Guide of this farmspot, very thanks im gonna test this one over 1 hour:P thanks

Loshi · May 10, 2006, 08:02 AM // 08:02

Yay, praise. Thanks for comments.

By the way, the daggers are:

Shreader's Talons
7-17 (Req 9 Dagger Mastery)
15% Damage (vs hexed)
Increases bleeding durationg by 33%
Health +30

Badass skin, too, in my opinion. I've got a pair, if anyone wants to buy some. *is an idiot for trying to sell an item AFTER he tells everyone how to get it*

sh4ft3d · May 11, 2006, 12:22 AM // 00:22

Hehe. Mappage?

Loshi · May 11, 2006, 02:37 AM // 02:37

Anyone know a good free image hosting place for large Bmps? I don't have a converter, but I took screenshots of: Fighting, Loot, and Map.

Xaero Gouki Kriegor · May 11, 2006, 07:01 AM // 07:01

lol this what i do, i open them up with paint, and reduce them to 66% and post them up at www.imageshack.us can still seem em okay, and also seems liek they stay up for a long time

karunpav · May 11, 2006, 10:54 AM // 10:54

Or you could open it with paint and save it as a JPEG to host it on imageshack... but either way works.

pegasux · May 11, 2006, 01:13 PM // 13:13

how much damage are you taking from the attacks? are they just mele mobs? Thanks...haven't had time to go there yet. =) just wondering if a FoW solo build would work nicely here =)

Loshi · May 11, 2006, 03:29 PM // 15:29

They're assassins, I take about 1-3 damage per attack from regular attacks, but sometimes all I see is a bunch of 0's pop up. The only thing that really hurts is the occasional strike and the DoT's that they plug you up with.

bad person · May 11, 2006, 04:13 PM // 16:13

Just wanted to make a quick note that you may want to edit your post to reflect the fact that you're using an axe and not a sword. You mention attribute points in swordsmanship and also a superior rune of swordsmanship.

remmeh · May 11, 2006, 04:31 PM // 16:31

hahaha very entertaining read. now i just gotta get my warrior over to factions.

sh4ft3d · May 11, 2006, 04:53 PM // 16:53

I agree. Sense of humor is always nice in threads

Thanks, it would seem I'm a huge moron.
A fantastic fool, if you will.

Reprimanded. Fixed the attributes, too. It should run as clean as... I dunno, I'm not a very cleanly person. The cleanest thing near me is a new printer cartridge after getting Elite lists. Kekeke. Anyways, yeah.

Oh, by the way, if anyone needs help, feel free to whisper me in game. I'm pretty much on... All the time. Loshi Deneb. SO, like, yeah. Savvy? Kay.

OH yeah, I'm looking for a Warden farming build. Y'know, Arborstone explorable? Yeah, if anyone has one of those, would you mind throwing it at me? I want a nice Ornate Shield. Moronic how the coolest looking shield is Kurzick, but it perfectly matches Luxon armor. Ugh.

pegasux · May 11, 2006, 08:17 PM // 20:17

I'm not sure if this would work since i'm at work now and can't try it but this may work for you also. Same Stats of course. With Live Vicariously and Vigorious Spirit every hit will net you +10 and +8 so +18 from every hit assuming you never miss. Say you cyclone 6 Assasins thats = 108 Self Heal, every 5 seconds also, then throw in Triple Chop every 10 seconds. With you taking next to nothing damage from armor and your shield and only fighting degen.

Now for my miserable attempt at math...correct me if I am wrong since i always am in math. -7 degen = -14hp per second so 14hp * 10 sec = 140. Now any hit on a foe will give you +18 any miss will give you just +8 from vigorous spirit. So say average +12 gain per hit. Assuming you have at least 6 on you...1 cyclone = 72hp every 5 sec. 72 * 2 (for 10 sec calc) = 144 + 72(from Triple Chop every 10 sec) = 216hp every 10 seconds. So that's 216 - 140 = 76hp leftover to deal with critical strikes or what not. You will also have the health gain from the normal attacks and Swift Chop in between Cyclone's and Triple Chop. Lets just assume you do 3 attacks in between(10 seconds measure) that's another +36hp. So 76hp + 36hp = 112hp for their skill attacks. Cyclone + Triple Chop + Cyclone = 10 seconds. With the -2DMG stance shield you should take all -0 DMG unless it's from a skill attack.
A stance shield would also really help here since bonettis will always be up, a zealous axe + bonettis will always have your energy up and the cyclones will always keep bonettis up for you. The collectors shield is fine -2DMG (stance) +45HP (stance) =). Also swift chop can be spammed, since assasins like to evade attacks they will suffer a deap wound from it if you miss =)

Sorry if I was all over the place...my brain is done for the day =(.

Bonetti's Defense
Dolyak Signet
Live Vicariously
Vigorious Spirit
Mending
Cyclone Axe
Triple Chop {E}
Swift Chop

Loshi · May 11, 2006, 08:36 PM // 20:36

You forget Degen. I don't think it'll work, you won't have a large enough healing factor. But I could be wrong. I guess in a way it depends on if Live Vic + Triple Chop will heal you enough. I'll go test it.

Personally, I think Swift Chop is a bad idea. Costs energy you could use for Cyclone/Triple.

pegasux · May 11, 2006, 08:40 PM // 20:40

No the degen is factored in as -7 cause of mending. That's -14hp per second on you but the self heals should be more then enough to cover it though...all in theory of course. Vigorious Spirit and Live Vicariously =). BTW thanks for posting your run...always nice to see warriors who are not selfish. I'm sure most of you already know this but Arborstone is very farmable and so is Brauer Academy (not the duel quest). Go out the SW entrance...tons of Undergrowth guys there.

Loshi · May 11, 2006, 08:49 PM // 20:49

Why would we have the Stance COllector shield when the only stance we'll be using is Bonbon?

Eternal Aegis > Stance Collector, IMO

Edit: LOSHI GO TRY NOW

pegasux · May 11, 2006, 08:54 PM // 20:54

Not sure what you are asking. The Shield I am referring to is the Crimson Carapice Shield -2DMG (Stance) +45(Health). An Eternal Aegis only looks better but does not perform better unless it is -2 Stance -2 Enchant, or -2 Stance -3 hex. Most don't have those shields since they are so rare and expensive. I have a Gothic Shield -5(19%) +43health but prefer my collectors cause it works better and I can predict the DMG taken. Also if you have a -5(20%) shield, you can assume you will get a -1DMG average per hit since you have a 20% chance for the -5 to kick in.

The ONLY stance you are in is Bonetti's, and that deflects most attacks, and will cause your HP to fluctuate violently with the 45hp (In Stance).

Eternal Aegis grants hp always, therefore you'll ALWAYS get +30 HP, to help you out when you aren't in Bonetti's.

By the way, Eternal Aegis = Same Stats as a shield craftable in Kaineng, so, yeah. It's a reasonable supplement, as opposed to the Stance Collector.

Furthermore, your build works, and I added it to my main post.

Edit: I tried my build and your build with a perfect shield I picked up (-5 (Chance 20%) -2 (In Stance)) and the difference wasn't very noticeable, aside from more close calls due to the lack of +30hp.
