Elementalist Dead Sword Farming Guide
First of all I would like to thank Koning and dark_slayer, since their builds inspired me in making this one, and I would like to thank everyone out there saying: "I wish i had my monk in the Bone Palace ".
NOTE: This is my first guide and I am unable to take screenshots atm, since my print screen key isn't working but I will do my best to post some asap.
Now the build:
Earth Magic 11 + 1 + 3
Fire Magic 12 + 1
Energy Storage 6 + 1
[skill]Glyph of Concentration[/skill][skill]Meteor Shower[/skill][skill]Savannah Heat[/skill][skill]bed of coals[/skill][skill]flame burst[/skill][skill]stoneflesh aura[/skill][skill]stone striker[/skill][skill]mantra of earth[/skill]
Variants:
You can use [wiki]Aftershock[/wiki] instead of [wiki]flame burst[/wiki] and time it with [wiki]meteor shower[/wiki] for some more damage.
The run takes no more than 10 minutes, and even less when you just rezone and do it again
THE RUN:
Start from the Bone Palace, hop in a worm and make your way north to The Shattered Ravines. There is no need for you to take heroes or henchies as you can run to the portal by yourself by running through the group of Shambling Mesas and Sandstorm Crags without aggroing nearby groups, and of course using the speed buff. When you make it to The Shattered Ravines talk to Primeval King Jahnus and take the Destroy the Ungrateful Slaves quest. Now all you need to do is step back and let the ghosts take care of the King and his escort, making the little hill clear for you to jump in and take care of the ghost army. When aggroing it is very important that you group the casters close and stand next to them so your spells can target both the casters and the melee foes. When you dispatch of one group it won't be long since the other(s) get there, so be prepared. I wouldn't advise on pulling more than one group at a time but with practice that can be done too
NOTE: You will be taking damage from [wiki]Savage Slash[/wiki], but there is nothing to worry about, it won't be enough to kill you
Map of the run:
I haven't really done many runs but they were all successful, got 3 Dead Swords in 5 runs or so, all req. 13
I hope you enjoy it as much as i did, the build is really fun to use, specially with all the savage slashes
Peace,
Yarrick.

I was afraid someone might say that, but I have been visiting the farming section a lot and I haven't seen any similar threads, but thanks for the heads up. Ah well, it might of worked better for a first guide
