Curse

Alright after a long break I am back, I have got some new warrior solo runs and I am here to bring em to ya

Lets start off here with Sskai, Dragons Birth. He is located up outside of Zos Shivros and Drops the green shown below.

Here is the build:

Warrior/Necro

Skills:
1: Dolyak Signet
2: Bonnetti's Defense
3: Deadly Riposte
4: Riposte
5: Endure Pain
6: Grenths Balance
7: Healing Signet or Sprint
8: Sprint or Rez sig (if you are bringing a buddy)

Stats:

Swordsmanship : meet the req of your sword
Strength: 10ish
Tactics: 12ish

Alright, start out of Zos Shivros heading north, follow the map to his location, you won't need to agro anyone on the way. When you get there, simply run up and look at Sskai, if he is holding the sword, then you will procede to attack him and kill him, then pick up the sword, rinse and repeat. He, unfortunatly rarely has the sword, and the farming script kicks in quick. So make it count when he has it. When he does have it, use a longbow to pull him out of his group, he is usually a fair distance away, and for the object you are going for, its an increadibly easy pull. What you will do is keep dolyak up as much as you can, riposte all the time, grenths ballance when you get under 100 hp, you neeeeed grenths to mkae this build work. You'll use bonetti's between dolyaks, and when you are low on energy, on the last time you get low on hp, and can't use grenths ballance cause he is low as well, you can use your endure pain, and this should keep you allive long enough to kill and pick up the drops. Use sprint to get there quickly. Be aware of oni pops when you pull him, you will learn where they are quickly.

He doesn't seem to be dropping like he used to be, but even if you just get one sword, its worth it. Thanks to guildies for helping me with this, and thanks to everyone here for taking the time to look.

Leaked this build in monk forum last week sometime. I personally just run all strength tactics. He dies so fast it's pathetic......Theres goes my easy 2-300k a day

Oh well Ive moved onto more profitable things ( greenwise ) since the drop rate, and price on these swords has plummetted.

do the henchies with you make a difference? cause i am a ranger and cant solo him without the henchies. i beat him while he had the sword and he didnt drop it? i would like this sword for my warrior... any suggestions?

Henchies take their fair share of drops like any human player does. It's dropping for them rather than you.

and he doesent always drop the sword even tho he is using it,

took me 2.5h of dying with my 55 monk trying diffirent builds until i incorporated the build used here to my monk and killed him 3 times while he used the sword and he dropped it once

Could somone post a War/Mo build for this? I keep getting worked. Trying this:
This could be a little off but:
8 Healing
8 Smite
11 Str
11 Tactics
6 Sword

Dol sig
Endure Pain
Live Vigar
Balth Spirit
Savage slash 4 interupt
glads def(elite)
Repost
Deadly repost

Basically put up Live and Balth. Keep Repost and deadly repost going as much as poss. Endure when hp low. Dol Sig as much as poss. Savage when he trys to heal.

Thx in advance for help.

Anyway you can solo a single warrior easily even with a ranger with a wilderness survival build...try keeping high degen on him and keep blinding him so he cannot hit you...maybe merge with the domain skills posted above and you should not have any problem.

i real hate that k.k spawn so so so much . Orz.

pegasux · May 19, 2006, 08:19 PM // 20:19

I use an all out strength and tactics build
Grenths
ripostle
deadly ripostle
distracting blow
bonettis
dolyaks
heal sig
endure pain

got my sword...btw has anyone had trouble pulling him? the other foes seem to follow him now when you pull.

Haggard · May 20, 2006, 01:30 AM // 01:30

Make sure its a longbow, or theyre liable to come with their master.

He always drops the sword when he's weilding it if your sololing him of course, I got 2 Sskai Sword drops in a row yesterday and another 1 today by just checking to see if he's weilding it or not before the code started to kick in.

DoDolDoll · May 20, 2006, 08:52 AM // 08:52

5 hours i fram , and he didnt drop that swrod for me Q_Q

w0lla · May 20, 2006, 10:33 AM // 10:33

yea, same for me, waited that the had that sword on show, killed him 3-4 times while he was wielding it, no sword drop nor did he did drop anything else.. maybe it got nerfed?

pegasux · May 20, 2006, 10:51 AM // 10:51

no nerf....got 2 more yesterday. Did 5 runs =). Just luckk on my part of course. And yes it is a longbow I'm using. I've noticed that after the first 2 trips he tends to stay real close to the pack...making it a pain in the butt to pull!

Hey dodoldoll is that Tifa?
