So maybe, if you not getting any dead swords, try it out with a different chars and hope to have better luck..or change your build a bit..

its funny that you say that,i changed 1 skill in my ele build and got 3 max dead swords and a monk offhand.....in one run

If this farm run is too hard, then it time to suck it up and improve or move onto another place.

started doing this yesterday before work and did about 5 runs, no dead swords but 10 plat in materials+gold, and a gold staff with a staff wrapping of enchanting

ive been using the stoneflesh+stonestriker ele build with ss

the only trouble ive been having is killing the monk casters in a quick amount of time, the only fix i see for this is just killing hte melees and rezoning if youre interested in dead sword only

but i tried doing this build with 12 earth magic, no luck, invested in an earth staff, earth headpiece, and sup earth rune, and it was worth it, 16 earth magic+extra energy really helps with stoneflesh, ty for this farming spot!

Ok, I'm finally happy with my elem build.

I just remembered how much i loved sliver armor.

Versus the monks all you need up is stonflesh aura and you'll survive.
Versus the warriors try to keep their mana at zero and you can cast anything you want.

This is so much faster than the SOJ monk i used to use, especially when there are two groups.



since you have unlimited mana, thanks to stonestriker and mantra of earth just keep using glyph of elem power before shockwave (and ofcourse sliver).

I use Shockwave rather than sandstorm becuse they dont run away.... and do you remember the first time you got close to Zarnas Stonewrath and felt the hit of his shockwave, kaboom dead WTF!... Now I can give some of that same love back

---

By the way heres my recent find.



on a side note, werent there 5 waves of enemies? I only encounter 3 now after the canthan new year patch.

Edit :: My mistake there are still 5 waves... (group 4 and 5 merge with the 3rd, ty senrath)
and Lol in a lucky run... i got a yellow then a brown then a black dye (all in the same run)

If you have unlimited energy (and in fact.. you do ) Why waste points in energy storage? Put those left over points in inspiration for a longer mantra. A rune + staff/focus+totem should be enough energy anyway.

i think it takes less then 10min with a SoJ + smite Hex monk, but i never actually timed it.


one more thing, are you guys rezoning right at the portal or mapping back to town after each run?

i am afraid rezoning repeatly will trigger the "antifarm"

personally, I pick up everything, so I have to map back to town each time, since usually there are enough drops to fill up my inventory mostly, if not completely. I have yet to trigger the antifarm warning (I do have hints turned on), but that might just be me.

It takes ~11min with SOJ monk including running from the outpost. So if you just rezone at the portal, it is about 1.5 min less.

I now just do 3-5 runs and stop. more runs wont get me any DS if I didnt get them in the first 3-5 runs.
