Curse

I was lucky that I keep certain number of collector drops and the djiinn essences was one of them and I had enough for both accounts.
I still need to farm for this week, watched Watchmen last night, sick.

boxterduke · Jul 23, 2009, 01:36 PM // 13:36

Finally went out yesterday and Rt/R the skelk, first run I got 14 claws and then on the on the way to him I got a couple more.
Got 5 crates of fire works and then the usual summoning stones.
Still waiting for the Gwen Doll/VDS or an EL tonic to sell.

I've been having terrible luck farming these...got a few while in a full H/H group going to Umbral Grotto, but trying to solo farm them with my Rit I've gotten nothing so far. Bleh.

Yes.. definately sapphire djinn essences.. i only managed to farm 1 essence in 1-2 hours, ended up buying the rest..

GG skelk buyers

Ah, yes. I got 4 in one run before

+ more in runs to come

stone carvings was by far the best you only needed 5 too.... Using a Rit with SoS and spirits you could basically farm the whole map. One full run spawning all the stone guys got you about 10 carvings which then sold for 3-5k each.

It looks like solo Spirit Spamming works the best...does anyone have the basic Spirit Spam solo build for a necro? Or any profession with variants.

thats what I used to kill most of the skelk and got 20 claws in 3 runs. Havent tried killing the boss though you can however kill all of the wind riders on the bridge.
Basically everything dies fast except when you get the groups with the 5 smite skelks. So all you have to do is spam summon spirits and move them whenever they cast symbol of wrath and balths aura.
For a necro just drop the spawn attribute for soul reaping and drop boon of creation for signet of lost souls.

The smite skelks are the only ones that really gave me any trouble. I spirit-spammed my way through with my Rit.

And of course, as soon as I complain that they don't want to drop claws from me, I go out and do a fast run and it seemed like every skelk I killed dropped stuff for me. Got 14 claws in ~30 kills, that's insane.

The usual stuff, though - five blue rock candies, three disco balls, five mysterious summoning stones, and ten aged hunter's ales.

Awesome, thank you! I used the Elementalist Earth build and it worked very well - surprisingly, the claws drop very fast!

Caster, can u ping your build here plz?

S.

CronkTheImpaler · Jul 26, 2009, 02:54 PM // 14:54

The earth build im runnin goes like this

Glyph of restoration
sliver armor
armor of earth
stoneflesh aura
mantra of earth
ether feast
echo
stone striker

earth 16
inspiration 10
energy storage 9

that works without fail for me

Midnight Harmony · Jul 26, 2009, 04:53 PM // 16:53

How are you using that build? With all the enchants up I continually die from the degen, as the skills don't recharge fast enough.

CronkTheImpaler · Jul 26, 2009, 05:15 PM // 17:15

something i left out.

normal mode. thats the only way i could pull it off.

just throw up enchants use a +20% enchant staff or other weapon. use GoR +ether for nearly 200 hp heal and a second skill such as sliver or stoneflesh for another 105 heal.

If you remember to keep up mantra for the continues +2 energy and use Glyph whenever its recharged you wont die.

No question however the one group of all afflicted will make ya work the buttons awful hard lol.

Cronk

PS the echo i use for sliver. If you find yourself on the MAD decline(Dieing Fast) you can use it for ether feast for a non stop healing spam.

600/smite with a guildie, i had 11 from solo farming 3 runs maybe, he got 15 in 2 with me..

Yeah, i used spirit spam on a necro (only because i don't have a rit..

) and i would leave out boon of creation and add either Armour Of Unfeeling or Spiritleech Aura, since if they do happen to get hit [even with summon spirits in bar] they will gain some of the health back. It's very effective and useful.

Just aload of rubbish for me this week, blue rock.. mysterious summoning stones+tonics etc..

Aha, yes, however i just ran around with Heroes + Hench booming all the stone guardians, i didn't even think of the spirit spam build, how could i forget?!

But yeah, as that week comes to a close. Any inclings as to where he could be next?

AngelWJedi · Jul 27, 2009, 02:19 PM // 14:19

i would like to guess he be in my gh and wanting mantis pinchers! xD lol i wish but knowing my luck i delete them he will ask for them. ;_; need room lol

Kook~NBK~ · Jul 27, 2009, 02:47 PM // 14:47

My GUESS is that he'll be somewhere in the Jade Sea (Gyala hatchery looking for baby turtles, maybe?), collecting Black Pearls.

Xanthe Dashka · Jul 27, 2009, 02:49 PM // 14:49

It's that time of the week again for some free +1 posts.

I think he's next to the Jade Sea.

Arduin · Jul 27, 2009, 02:59 PM // 14:59

It's that time of the week again for other people to go and find Nicholas, to post it on this very thread and for other people to farm me some of his needed stuff.

Good luck all!

ll Jamie ll · Jul 27, 2009, 03:05 PM // 15:05

Apparently he's moved, can anyone confirm (would go there myself but in a mish atm.)

stretchs · Jul 27, 2009, 03:05 PM // 15:05

I think we should start a new thread each week so this one doesnt get so unsightly
