Do some ettin farming! Seriously!
You'll make tons! If you have either a warrior, ranger or monk character, I can help you do it the first few times if you want...
Last night a superior absorption dropped for me, and a req 7 perfect ornate buckler dropped for my friend...

Nosaj Noshnoj · Dec 28, 2005, 07:09 PM // 19:09

What builds r you guys using to farm here?

I have a 55hp monk that i can farm most places, but the tengu shatter enchants. I can get by that, with spell breaker, but then it's next to impossible to damage ettins espically with the new AoE nerf. I also have a nuker, but i have trouble with that too.

Help

I read this thread the other day as am frustrated by never picking up a sup vigor rune. Went on a trip outside Granite Citadel and one dropped for me. My storage gold is looking a lot more healthy now

Daena · Dec 28, 2005, 08:52 PM // 20:52

I farm ettins with my 55 necro.. found a superior absorption today, yet to find a sup vigor

But if you ask me ettins are the best chance at getting a sup vigor.

Good luck.

Found Sup Vigor yesterday.Ettin drop North Kryta. First Sup Vig in over 650hrs of play.If they were easy to find they would cost 100g at Rune trader.End of thread.

And Sup Absorb today outside of Beetltun- Lock this thread

Wow. You are all such suckers.
As for that screenie, u just laid all the stuff in your invintory on the ground and then killed one of them who dropped that white one w/o a rune on it. Clever little trick. Must have taken a while to get it to actually work too.

Enix · Dec 28, 2005, 11:36 PM // 23:36

I have gotten 4 in my hours of play, which are too many to count. Two were in the same spot in the Northern Shiverpeaks from a rather unexpected creature. I dont know that it is necessarily a farmable spot becuase it is kind of a pain in the ass to get to and there are mesmers, even though the enemies are still just like lvl 10's.

Oh, and if you want to do Ettin farming, PBAoE works. I only stole skill of the build from another guy, but made the rest myself. Casting order is very important with my build. Sometimes i can take out an Ettin with 3 spells.

Tip: If you want to know how many hours you've played a character, type "/age" (without the quotes) in the chat window.

SO did anyone receive their "special, secret, only-one-person-ever-found chest location" PMs yet!

HI
I use my Nuker to farm this place and it works fine. Only eventual problem is with Tengu at the beggining, but with caution you will pass them.

My build:
Fire Magic: 16 (sup rune)
Energy Storage: 10 (minor rune)
Water Magic: 10 (minor rune)

Add a major Vigor (that's enough)

Imolate (just to finish him when they run away, and is very spamable)
Fireball
Flame Burst
Inferno
Meteor Shower
Mist Form
Fire Attunment
Aura of Restauration

I use a Ragos Staff, but the collectors staff (20/20) with a energy addon and a enchantments last longer wrapping should work.

For pass the Tengus, before aggro, cast Fire Attun. run to Tengu Wild (the caster), it will remove the fire attunment, when you're face to face with him, cast flame burst and inferno, 1 down, cast Aura of Rest (Don't forget or you will die), and attack the ranger imediatly (imolate), run to him if you have to, and cast flame burst that should be ready again, finish him.

For the Ettins is much easier.
Before aggro cast Fire attun, Aura of rest., run to the group, when they start running at you cast Mist Form, and Meteor Shower (they sould be in you face when the cast ends, don't forget to select one target), cast Flame Burst and inferno, if they aren't already dead eventually they will run away and back in a few seconds wait for them and cast fireball or Flame Burst, is done... (while they run away you can imolate them, without have to move away).
Before move to another group wait for energy and Meteor recharge, Life should, not be a problem.

You could replace Meteor Shower with Rodgorts Invocation, for instance, but i get better results with Meteor Sh., cause with Rodgorts Inv. After they start burning, they run away, with meteor Shower at least they will be hit 2 times, maybe more, and knocked down.

Possible problems:
- Bad aggros and you get not only ettins.
- Run out of energy, when they run away don't spend energy with fireball or others, wait for them to come into your face again and only then cast the Flame burst and Inferno, the dmg will be in 3 or 4 foes in spite off 1 that is attacking you. I never run out of energy. Could be near but never run out in ther middle of a fight.

You will need a enchantments last longer, cause you depends a lot on enchantments (Mist Form last 16 seconds with water at 10 will run for 19 seconds, Fire Att and Aura of Rest will run for more 10-12 seconds).

Hope this help
Cya

funny thing is one time i solo'd borliss passs for a guildy as my w/mo and got 3 gold armors.

quickmonty · Dec 29, 2005, 11:55 AM // 11:55

I've been ettin farming for some time. I average a major vigor each run plus some other nice stuff including the occasional monk superior. I stay out and rezone until my storage is full. Second and third times through the drops seem to get better.

Christmas day I got my first superior vigor. Next day I got a superior vigor, major vigor, superior absorbtion and black dye. Next day I got a superior absorbtion.

Just luck, or did they increase the drops for Midwinter?

Amazing Avery · Jan 08, 2006, 01:17 PM // 13:17

Try Witmans Folly for runes, you and 2 heal hench. Just grawls. - 2 sup vigour 1 absortion plus some nice monk runes all in a days work.
