Here's the elite known as Xinrae's Weapon:

[skill]Xinrae's Weapon[/skill]

It's found in only one location and you can't get into the area until you reach the final mission in Nightfall. Even more, it's one long trip to reach the boss that has it.

Would you say this is the most difficult elite skill to capture?

Nothing beats capping a skill from the randomly-spawned bosses anywhere on the Ring of Fire Island Chains, imo.

Was just about to say that.

Agreed. Most of Prophecies elites are a pain in the ass, but RoF elites take the cake. Hands down.

RoF elites are somewhat annoying, far from difficult.

Feast of Corruption when it that gigantic worm north of Drok's (far southern end of Talus Chute, I believe) was the only boss to cap it from......when there were no heroes......

I agree any elite in proph is simple. Some are just annoying. I got tyrian skill hunter in 2 days XD

Sakura Az · Mar 13, 2008, 04:52 AM // 04:52

the RoT caps were the most annoying for me, all the tyrian ones just took forever with the random spawning but wern't particularly hard, i had a harder time getting TO maw than i did killing her.

Abaddon's Mouth has the worst elites to get ever because it's extremely extremely annoying if you have to spend 20 minutes or more trying to get Restore Conditions.

AS for FoC before Factions, that was good times. Spent 5 hours getting to the guy with a friend and henchies and I got like 5 rares.

Cacheelma · Mar 13, 2008, 04:57 AM // 04:57

Well, I don't know about you. But when I think a skill is difficult to cap, it'd be in term of the amount of time I might have to spend to get it.

Xinrae's weapon is there. Always there. If I can find a way to get there, I will get it.

Restore Condition (for example), MIGHT BE THERE. I might get it, I might not. And from my personal experience I spent 3 hours a day for 2 weeks to get the skill (to the point that I know the in-and-out of Abaddon's Mouth and got the bonus objective with just hench).

That's difficult (for me).

arcanemacabre · Mar 13, 2008, 05:05 AM // 05:05

Well, to be specific, none of the elites are "difficult" to cap, just some take a lot longer and are much more annoying than others. That would be the RoF ones. That's really the only criteria I consider - annoyance. I wanna cap, dammit, not explore half of an entire zone mindlessly over and over till I hit the jackpot.

Stimm · Mar 13, 2008, 05:08 AM // 05:08

Jagged Bones was my least favorite elite. Its tied to a quest Breaking the Broken. But I have to agree any tyrian elite is annoying that has a random spawn

Pleikki · Mar 13, 2008, 05:17 AM // 05:17

RoF one harder and some Shiverpeak ones. Well maybe FoC

FoC is not talus chute it is half way between beacons and droks. i forget offhand where it is it is next area after lorinar pass. and it is harder to get thanfire islands imho

Thorondor Port · Mar 13, 2008, 05:28 AM // 05:28

I hero and henched every elite skill on my warrior. Sometimes i would get slaughtered by huge aggro mobs then patrols would get involved....some caps were done with 60 death penalty..

**cosyfiep** · Mar 13, 2008, 06:09 AM // 06:09

xinrae hard???? not even close---the mobs you face to get to it are a push over with h/h team and he is ALWAYS there....

I have to agree the ring of fire elites are a pain....I remember doing it the first time--2 years + ago....couldnt get the dang bosses to spawn

....4 trys, and on perdition rock having to check 6 spawn spots and not finding it in any!

ANY factions or nightfall elite is easier to get to than those!! (heck I still have a mesmer who has yet to cap one of those elites---migraine just because I havent gotten it to spawn when I get to where it should be! ----now its in eye so I will finally get her last mesmer elite!!)

Arv X · Mar 13, 2008, 06:20 AM // 06:20

Onslaught (dervish elite) in the nightfallen jahai that is quite difficult because of the numerous roaming mobs you MUST fight when fighting the boss mob because the roamings roam into the aggro of the para boss.

Maybe not the hardest, but I was trying to think of one others hadn't said.

as for the RoF elites, those 3 dryder spawns are quite the pain, the mesmer skill took me 15 runs to get it to spawn. those 15 runs were all in one day....yeah, I vowed never to play RoF on my ele again, unfortunately ill be headed down there to cap again with my monk...ugh

Somebody is looking to farm Secret Lair of the Snowmen....

If it really bothers you that much, buy a tome.
