your ideas could be right about the sin solo tombs build but i have a different idea. i think its based on the shadow nuke build. where you cast shadow form, run in nuke as much as possible and use shadow haste to warp you out. im about to grab my ele and try it out. ill let you know how it goes.

Assassin / mesmer without arcane echo and bring a Mo/N bonder/smiter with BiP

, btw you dont need any mission to find the graven monoliths , just go there and they are there.

you guys think a 600 monk could keep himself alive so you could do a 600+smiter run?

yea im with you, thats pretty crappy to not share your build.

Why don't you guys come up with one yourself? See what skills they use, how to get to the location and bring a counter measure. I mean he did 1/2 the work already by verifying for EVERYONE that the Ele sword drops from a Monolith. The method in that screenshot isn't even much of a secret anyways. He's got a team of "8" in his screenshot. With a team of 8 you can bring pretty much any build you want since this is PvE afterall.

I'd hold your hand and walk you across the street but I think you can do that on your own also.

105 monk with sliver armor/spellbreaker + r/mo with qz + serpents quickness +3 maintained enchants.

kill mandragors in worm, set up spirits , keep up critical enchants.

May have 1-2 left, not best or fastest build but it works until someone posts some other faster build.

Thought up on my first try

Drops are horrid

dude thats not wtf im talking about at all, i dont even have an ele or a sin, its the point. i made this thread so people can farm them, not to people can throw it in their faces how they got one, and then not tell everyone how

Acehigh · May 11, 2007, 11:27 PM // 23:27

From the looks of that pic,id say the guy is using a standard A/E shadowform/sliver build.Now im gonna try that at some point and tell you how it goes.

Edit: Nevermind.

Julia-Louis Dreyfus · May 11, 2007, 11:31 PM // 23:31

what about the picture with the part that says "Graven Monolith drops..." the screen shows a monolith dropping it

EDIT: and yes it looks like the A/E sliver or the A/E nuker build

Acehigh · May 11, 2007, 11:57 PM // 23:57

Well,i just did a run,atleast the build works what im using.Not sure what quest i should have active,if any at all...

Suxipo · May 12, 2007, 12:05 AM // 00:05

yeah hate it when people just want to show off their loots while hiding their secret. I suspect the guy found this place because of all the posts here but decided to keep his build for himself. Bastards.

As about the build, I have been soloing these monoliths using E/A shadow form + fire skills but it's painfully slow.

Acehigh · May 12, 2007, 12:19 AM // 00:19

Im assuming these things drop whatever tome they can transform into? because i just got a non-elite dervish tome.

Acehigh · May 12, 2007, 12:37 AM // 00:37

This is a great little place to make some cash imo,if only my ele wasnt so flagged,id probably be getting golds

.There is a gold in that pic,which came from a chest that spawned after i clicked on one of those Shrines.

Julia-Louis Dreyfus · May 12, 2007, 12:40 AM // 00:40

yeah that looks pretty decent for making some cash, plus the chance of an ele sword, how long does the build take?

Beqxter · May 12, 2007, 12:47 AM // 00:47

Well, an assassin doing the Show of Force quest can unlock all the shrines and then Sliver Armor is FUN to watch, since there are a bajillion enemies there - but, sadly, the drops are pretty crap. Haven't seen a single gold yet.

It takes quite a while.You need the ''Show of Force'' quest active,and everytime u click on one of those shrines aslong as u have the rune of doom,more mobs of gravens and margonite spawn.

Id say its takes like an hour a run,you'd be best off bring a friend to alternate,and atleast u would get more white drops that way to make a bit of profit.

If u wanna try it with me now,just gimme a PM ingame,i dont mind.

EDIT:Too slow

Julia-Louis Dreyfus · May 12, 2007, 12:50 AM // 00:50

ah thanks for the offer, but i dont have an ele or sin

I am doing this farm from http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Lightbringer for LB points. To get max enemies of Monoliths and the three Margonite bosses you need to have the quest "A Show of Force" active.

I guess the reason to go with heroes/henchies to this temple is merely as a vessel.
A question I have is since the application of loot scaling; is there a point in Soloing the last part as in killing the monoliths? The only point I see in soloing them is to be certain whether they drop Elemental Sword. (As in after we killed like thousands of monoliths and still there is no drop of Elemental sword can we be certain they don't drop at this place. Comparable with the Colossal Sword which drop in Zehlon Reach but I have yet to see/hear them drop in Mehtani Keys, where there are more corsairs around.)
