Curse

I heard about using the am fah outside marketplace on hard mode using spirit bond on chars and stuff. I tried that on my dervish with starter armor and still ended up dying (not sure if they just ended up hitting below 60 for a bunch of hits or if it was my own fault).

But where else could I farm a considerable amount of experience? I unfortunately got too far ahead and can't ascend in the desert now.

Maybe the snow minotaurs outside ice tooth cave I think it is? With a bonder/ fow solo build or something maybe?

Any ideas or suggestions would help a lot.

I'm actually doing the same thing. I'm up to about 250k xp at the moment. But its slow going. I think the 'safest' ( relative term ) is to just cap every elite skill you can manage.

Other options of course is get someone to trap farm you hardmode vermin, 55 somewhere while you carry scrolls ( droks if you can get there in one piece ), I think the best is Urgoz if you can survive. I'm gonna slowly grind methinks. For safety purposes.

The main thing I am curious about, is if like. I use a bonder build with like life barrier, life bond and then another hero with mending, watchful spirit etc.

Maybe I could just tank enough damage to go with those bonds, then use like a tof triple chop build to kill hard mode stuff easily.

I dunno for sure, I might just try the jade brother hood things again if I don't get lag and once I reach level 20.

You can, for obvious reasons loading up bonders / prot with hero isn't the best idea as they love dropping it. But if you want to manual cast. It is 'possible' unfortunate that paragons lack any heavy duty AOE skills to wipe out larger mobs. As the sole source of damage it may take a while.

(edit henchmen said instead of hero hehe )

Yeah I know, manually casting it means they won't drop it ever. I just figured, it'd be safer then the 600hp smiter build with spirit bond being without armor.

It would take longer unless I used like war skills like anthem of flame with cyclone axe and stuff. But it would be safer taking single digit damage instead of messing up a spirit bond and dying to a lvl 26 jade.

run /R with 5 or 6 spirits and do the Urgoz farming thing.
