If the casters arent quite dead, all you do is go down and let whirling take care of the rest. if 2 of them dies, the rest will die with them

You are probably running past them under dodge. Just use that to get into the valley, after that replace with dryders as dodge shakes agro. You need to collect enough hammer grawls or you won't get eh big knockout.

The trick is to lay the EoE as close to the mountain as possible, then run up the second hill.

Lectic · Apr 11, 2006, 10:03 AM // 10:03

eh so I should run to the 2nd one and not the 3rd one like I might avenge u does in his video? I do lay it really close ,that sometimes grawls attack the eoe . It doesnt even damage them when I kill the grawls next to me ( hammer ones ) .

Fay Vert · Apr 11, 2006, 10:45 AM // 10:45

There are only two hills to run past. Run up the one next to the boss.

And if Grawls hit on EoE, you failed, go back and start again.

Using the bow from the Blankets for the Settlers quest is really helpful.
(It gives -2 damage while in stance)
And heres my suggestion:
Curses: 2
Expertise: 8+1
Beast Mastery: 12+1+3 (while laying the spirit)
Wilderness survival: 10+1+3 (while actually doing it)
You need to swap from a Beast-Mastery-Mask to a Survival mask after laying the spirit.

Dodge
Dryders Defence (better than Lightning reflexes bacause it last longer and gives elemental resistance (the grawl-necros do elemental dmg))
Whirling Defence
Throw Dirt
Oath Shot
Troll Unguent
Mark of Pain
Edge of Extinction

It looks good, I think I need to make a ranger though

Found about that farming method yesterday, practised it all day and came to practically the same conclusion as the original post. I use Lightning relfexes instead of dodge tho, and i Mark of Pain a Grawl before i reach the mound, it drops a lot of dmg. Then i use Whirling defence only when they are all blinded, and i am in a good position. Use it too soon and they scatter, which mucks up your blinding, and gets u killed pretty quick. I also get 26 dmg from MoP, and switch runes twice. My sequence runs as follows:

1)EoE (at 50 dmg)
2)Change Rune to wilderness
3)troll ungent
4)begin approach
5)Dryders defences
6)change rune to expertise
7)Mark of Pain on nearest Grawl (must be about 4 seconds before troll runs out to recover any dmg taken from chasing Grawl)
8)Run to top of mound
9)Throw Dirt
9.5)Whirling Defence (at the same time as Throw Dirt)
10)Oath Shot
11)Troll Ungent
12)Throw Dirt again.

usually it goes no further than that, but f the monk is in the area it sometimes requires a little longer. I can hold out for about 30 seconds like that before a Grawl gets a lucky strike or 2.

The other important thing is to make sure that you make your stand at the crest of the mound. There is a dip just over it, which will stop a lot of dmg, but will also stop a dmg being done to the Grawl. Occasionally i get into the position where the Surrounding Grawl didnt trigger a EoE chain. In this circumstance simply run to a mob of Grawl Necros, mark of pain one, and trigger Whirling defence. I cleared out the entire area like that.

Edit: Dryders inst better cos it has armour vs elemental dmg becuase the vast majority of Grawl necros do dark dmg, not cold. It may help slightly.

Thanks for the tip on the absorbtion bow, that may come in useful, tho i will need to find a decent fortitude mod for it.

Why are you casting Mark of Pain before you reach the top of the hill?

It should be...

1) Get to top of hill.
2) Troll Unguent
3) Throw Dirt
4) Oath Shot

5) Throw Dirt
6) Mark Of Pain
7) Troll Unguent

D.E.V.i.A.N.C.E · Apr 12, 2006, 11:19 PM // 23:19

heh I got too mad at the run... maybe some other time i'll try it again... like with factions armor...

kosh · Apr 12, 2006, 11:27 PM // 23:27

build is nice il tell you that..
but its old news, saw few monthes ago a r/n video do that
(if il find the vid il upload it).
been doing that for a while. u do get lots of armor but chance to get a gold are slim.

Legeon · Apr 13, 2006, 12:29 AM // 00:29

I just found out yesterday about this (go me) but I'm a quick learner and already have a nice run down. Infact, it's very similar to the video shown but I digress.

Best drop I've had so far was a gold armor that yielded a superior rune of divine favor. Sold it for 9k at the trader.

I've gotten at least...6-7 other gold drops but they were all cruddy.
got up 11 levels though since yesterday.

I was getting killed when i used mark of pain at the top of the hill. In addition, this way it allows Oath shot to recharge mop faster, so it can be used again relatively quick. Also, why not use it early? I dont dmg for doing it, as only 1 or 2 Grawl land hit, which is immediately regened away. It also helps group the Grawl prior to using whirling, which helps in both blinding and actually killing the buggers.

I know its not a new build, but i only found out about it recently. For those wishing to know how much cash you make out of it, well i made 2k a run, a run lasting about 2-4 minutes. Admitedly i was lucky, but i reckon you hall about 500-1k per run, which can be repeated often. Its also not brain numbingly boring, but it does require much practise to get right. It was at least 30 runs before i killed anything, another 30 until a decent chain started, and anotger 30 on that until i could do it reliable.

fusiom · Apr 13, 2006, 03:16 AM // 03:16

OK -----> FIRST: This run is NOT a nerfed RUN!
---------> SECOND: the best tip is to keep trying untill you get the hang of it!

I have SUCCESSFULLY up to 7 times in a row.... well sometimes i even use a scroll to UP my experience!

Bodies is the original video made by my ex-guildie and friend Peligro. (He designed that awesome green cape!) Bodies was made back in the summer, probably July or so. When aoe got nerfed, he searched for a method of altering his build. He settled on necro.

This is his follow-up video,made in either December or January, I think. Grawl-Farming-Final In this video, he is using a R/N build. I think it's very similar to what the OP posted here.

well, in the first video he used SoW as a R/Mo... do you or anyone know how he divided his attrib points? Tnx.

Jack Valmont · Apr 13, 2006, 02:40 PM // 14:40

It was probably something like +16 Beast Mastery (with Mask), +15 Expertise (with Mask), and +9-10 Smiting Spells with the rest on Wilderness Survival. You have it pay around with them a bit. You need at least +7 to +8 Regen on Troll.

dansamy · Apr 13, 2006, 04:37 PM // 16:37

I don't know what smite attribute he finally settled on. I know when he was still tweaking it, I used to take my elmo smiter and help him stay alive while he figured things out. RoF spamming helped heal him and killed the grawl faster with the added dmg of zealot's fire. Good times. (Yes I miss the overpowered ER.)

byobodybag · Apr 13, 2006, 04:41 PM // 16:41

i hate it when that oathshot misses... which likely will since marks is too low.

Shaz · Apr 13, 2006, 06:50 PM // 18:50

Oathshot is linked to expertise so only ranger can get the most out of it.
