Ultimate Warrior · Dec 18, 2005, 08:27 AM // 08:27

I farm them lots, they will stop following you if you go too far though

The Flash · Dec 18, 2005, 08:43 AM // 08:43

why do they keep moving around??

ive been farming griffon like 1000 times and first time seeing this

Ultimate Warrior · Dec 18, 2005, 08:58 AM // 08:58

can you explain a little better?

Traveller · Dec 18, 2005, 12:22 PM // 12:22

If you haven't been there for a while, you've probably missed the AoE update, which makes enemies scatter from AoE damage now and in effect, enemies won't follow you around for ages anymore either. This makes farming more tedious and time-consuming, but it can still be done tho if you want. Adjusting your build a little helps too.

stop using stuff like balthazar's aura and symbol of wrath will stop the "running around"

Triple Evel · Dec 18, 2005, 02:19 PM // 14:19

and u can always use rebutation for SLOW kill :P + zealot fire and heal breeze and prot spirit renewal will deal the damge

The Flash · Dec 18, 2005, 05:06 PM // 17:06

thanks

Vhayr · Dec 18, 2005, 05:38 PM // 17:38

No, you can't do them all at once. I do them in two different groups.

Ultimate Warrior · Dec 20, 2005, 05:43 AM // 05:43

Yah, now I have to do a few groups, instead of one.

The Flash · Dec 25, 2005, 09:46 PM // 21:46

can you help me out here, right now i have these i need help changing them

1 - Bonnetis Defense
2 - Cyclone Axe
3 - Balthazar Aura
4 - Vigorous Spirit
5 - Zealots Fire
6 - Healing Hands
7 - Symbol of Wrath
8 - Mending

and which of these are AoE?

bono · Dec 26, 2005, 01:44 PM // 13:44

AoE = area of damage

Balthazars aura, symbol of wrath r area damage spells. they will make the minotaurs run away(break aggro).

I find that if i spam zeoltous fire in like 3 spells in 2 secs .... it gets treated as AoE too.

quickmonty · Dec 26, 2005, 01:57 PM // 13:57

Zealots Fire .... if you start spamming heals

Symbol of Wrath ...... AoE all by itself

i gave up grifon farming the day the aoe nerf and stop chasing u nerf came out , nowinto hydras and worms :P

Wyett · Dec 26, 2005, 02:23 PM // 14:23

Would be nice if griffons dropped gold weapons again :/ I've been on about 20 griffon runs, and not a single gold item drop

and wtf are they doing with candy cane shards? There's no snow out there

Mournblade · Dec 26, 2005, 04:23 PM // 16:23

They got the shards from their Shiverpeak relatives for Wintersday. =)

Doctor Rhino · Dec 26, 2005, 04:35 PM // 16:35

Rawr the gold drops did dry up. I wasnt even over-farming it last night, and in 2 hours I got no golds. That suxorz.

Maxiemonster · Dec 26, 2005, 05:31 PM // 17:31

Farmed for 3 hours, today and yesterday, got 12 Gold drops. I've never farmed there before, and that's probably the only reason why I get so many Gold drops.

Try FrogDeverour's Build, it's in the Monk section. It's way better then any Mo/W build against Griffons/Minotaurs.

Tmm Ryan · Dec 26, 2005, 06:00 PM // 18:00

I didnt do any griffon farming yestrday, had a go today and i got 3 gold in 2 runs, really shows that they have reduced the drop rate the more u farm. The longer u leave it the more golds you will get. Just go to a different farm spot each day.

DFrost · Dec 26, 2005, 07:16 PM // 19:16

I did my first griffon run today, and wasn't too impressed. All I got were wings, minotaur horns and little gold. Most of the monsters didn't drop anything. Maybe bad luck, but definitely not overfarming since it was my first time there.
