Curse

Arkantos · Aug 24, 2006, 09:05 AM // 09:05

Inspired by Dahnel's Vengeful Ritualist. Mad props to Dahnel, yo.

Location

You'll be farming the wardens in Arborstone (Explorable) outside Altrum Ruins.

Loot

The loot here is moderately nice. Straight up gold, runes, scrolls, gothic swords, gothic axes, dual gothic axes, gothic defenders, marble hammers, wicked blades, dragon scythes, guardian of the hunts (Need confirmation) tanned hide, bolts of cloth, fur squares and more.

Armor/Weapons

The idle armour for this run is the armor that gives +10 armor while holding an item, but any armor should do. As for weapons, its not a big deal since you'll be holding an item for most of the time, but the idle weapons are:
Fiery Flame Spitter of Enchanting
Totem Axe
Rajazan's Fervor
20/20 Offhand
+45/+5 [Ench] Offhand

Attribute Points
Restoration Magic 12 + 1 + 3
Illusion Magic 10
Insparation Magic 8

The Build

Now for the most imporant part.

Vengeful Was Khanhei {E}
Arcane Echo
Sympathetic Visage
Ancestor's Visage
Vengeful Weapon
Physical Resistance
Channeling
Soothing Memories/Mend Body And Soul

Tactics

First off, get the blessing from the Kurzick Priest at the rez shrine (Not needed, but helpful when you get stuck in traps). Before aggroing, put up Channeling and Physical Resistance. Aggro the 2 groups, and run west to the next group and aggro them. Once aggro'd, put up one of the visages, arcane echo and VwK. Always maintain a visage, VwK, Phys Res and Channeling. By the time your 3rd VwK is over, most the group should be down. I fsome are still alive, spam vengeful weapon. Use soothing memories if needed. After this group, keep going west again and kill that group. Kill Craw Stonereap (Look down for info). Once he's down, keep going west down the stairs. There will be many more wardens down there. Keep on going down the path until your bags are full. Go back to town, sell your crap, keep your goodies, and do the run again.

PS: If your running MBaS, whenever you run into a trap go near an enemy spirit and use it to get rid of the bleeding/crippling.

Craw Stonereap

This boss is easy. Put up Phys Res and aggro him. Once aggro'd, run back abit out of the aggro circle. If done right, you should only have Paratistic Bond on you. Visages wont help against him, so dont waste your energy on them. Use your 3 VwK's. Once the 3rd ones done, spam Vengeful Weapon, using Soothing Memories when needed. When VwK and echo are recfharged, Echo VwK and continue. Very easy boss. His green is The Stonereaper.

Credit

Dahnel for the original build, me for writing up this guide.

nice guide

,

I'd like to point out you can take advantage of the fact that Mend Body & Soul is bugged here. By that i mean that it will remove conditions when you are stood near enemy spirits too (though i'm sure it should'nt) which is very useful when you stand on those pesky Barbed Traps, since theres usually an enemy spirit of Laceration or Brambles.

Ahh, ty Dahnel. I'm not too fond of all the ritualist skills yet, I just took an interest in playing my Rit

I'll add that to the guide, as its very useful.

Hmmm, that spirit trick is gonna help me a lot, I hate those traps, since I usually clear the open square and run past the Stone Reaper down some stairs for like 12 more Warden mobs.
