Sorry I took so long to reply mate, been away all weekend

Anyway, Yeah easily Grenths Riposte can be used for both Wahli and Mhedi, and Grenths Whammo (may need a new name for it see previous posts) can be used on Shagu and Morolah. To be honest I dont know about the Ritualist boss because i kept dying with him and his staff isnt priced highly so i just leave him alone.
Lastly, and this is kool. I use a Combo of both builds to kill all of the bosses except the Rit (I got off this farming forum). The build is Riposte, D.Riposte, Sever Artery, Gash, Endure Pain, Grenth's Balance [Elite], Healing Signet, Dolyak Signet or Bonettis Def.
This build should be handled with care, but the results of learning to use it effectively are that u can clear areas of all bosses. The only trouble i have in the Barbourous coast is with the Mes boss Morolah. His skill set is difficult to manage. But when he hexs you just stop hitting him. Let him take your health down and then GB him. Repeat this until he is low on health and then jsut kill him. Also, you can hit him when you no longer have hex on you. Other than that its quite straight forward. Shagu especially is easy!

If you don't mind, could you tell me exactly how you run to bosses, and dispose of them? I tried farming Wing, Three Blade, but I got splattered by the mob in front of him everytime.

Oh right! So are u trying to farm completely solo, ie without Heros or Henchies? If so then your trying to farm Pre-NF style. Which is no longer neccessary.
What u need to do is take along Heros/Henchies to help kill all the mobs enemies between u and the boss.
When u get to the boss and his mob, u use the henchies to kill all the mob enemies (not the boss). Your Heros/Henchies will target whoever you target. So target everyone except the boss. When just the boss is left run away with your Heros/Henchies, use the flag on your compass map to tell them where to go.
Flag all Heros/Henchies away so that their name is greyed out on the party menu. This means you get all drops from monsters you kill. So head back to the boss, by yourself and proceed to kill him. You alone will now get the green if it drops.
With Wing I kill his mob in this order, Ritualist's, all other casters, Knights. It just makes it quicker. Also, Wing does alot of damage so some of your group may die. If they do, you have to resurrect them and then flag them away with the rest of the group. As, dead Heros/Henchies will get a chance of winning the drop which u dont want!
Hope this helps

Hey that's pretty cool, I'll give that a try!

Grenth’s Riposte (to kill melee bosses with)
Strength: left over points
Swordsmanship: As much as possible
Tactics: 15 (12+3)
- Riposte,. Deadly Riposte, Sun and Moon Slash, Final Thrust, Bonetti's Defense (or Endure Pain), Grenth's Balance [Elite], Healing Signet, Dolyak Signet

Grenth’s Retsac (to kill non-melee bosses with)
Strength: As much as possible
Swordsmanship: As much as possible
Tactics: 9 or there abouts
Sever Artery, Gash, Sun and Moon Slash, Final Thrust, Endure Pain, Grenth's Balance [Elite], Healing Signet, Dolyak Signet
Alernative Skills: Include an Interrupt as per advice from "Lambda The Great" see below.
Savage slash or Distracting blow
Distracting blow seems to be the better choice energy wise and therefore spammability wise. Energy can be a real problem with these Green hunters (u might want to buy Gladiators armor). But if you use successfully it can greatly decrease the time it takes to kill certain bosses, like Monk bosses. Ide swap it for Dolyak (espeically wth a Monk boss with low damage)

Grenth’s Slayer
Riposte, D.Riposte, Sever Artery, Gash, Endure Pain, Grenth's Balance [Elite], Healing Signet, Dolyak Signet or Bonettis Def.
So renamed skill builds! I know Grenths Retsac (caster backwards) is a bit lame but hey I couldn't think of anything else.

Anyway, I thought Ide search some GB forums and post the links here, so here they are.
GB Riposte NF Boss Farming
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...=Ar kjok+Ward
This forum has a huge list of bosses farmed with these builds.

Eshau's Spear W/Ns solo farm
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s... enths+Balance
I actually got the Grenths Slayer build from this forum. Thnx heaps "RebelHero"

So, I thought since we know how to use the Grenths Slayer build in Barborus Coast and Arkjok ward now(see above forum, and i posted about it ^^). We should now post other places that can be farmed with this build. That is all the bosses in an area that can be killed with it.
There are alot of Cantha boss Forums which have been there for a while. So read them, watch the video's if your new, so as to learn how to use the builds.
I will continue to add GB forums or you could just search it.
If anyone needs help or just wants to tlak about how things are going then pls PM me

Lastly, I will be posting my build to kill Dwayna this week so stay tuned

It looks like the Code works across your account!!
Today I did the following qst and missions.
I did all of the following four times in a row with four different characters.
I started in Chantry of Secrets. I did the qst "Rally the Princes" Then the Mission Tihork Orchard. Then I ran the Mirror of Lyss leading to Honur Hill.
Doing this apparently reset the amount drops I was gettn on these four characters from 1 drop to 2-3 drops. So I went farming on two of these characters. I was able to get 1 green that was Banors Sacred Branch (worth 30-40k atm). I used the "Grenths Retsac" to kill him he took abit of a long time though. Next time Ill drop Dolyak as I never used it. And Ill replace with an Interupt or an Enchantment removal as he regains health with Shield of Regeneration (I think it was called). Heres a pic

Some other cool stuff I got today was a Ruby from the qst "Rally the Princes". Doing that qst gets u 2 Trade contracts i did it 4 times. I traded 7 of those in for the Ruby. Easiest 7k I've ever made. Also, I have been opening chests along the way and had about 50% golds. The best I have got today was a Req9 Fire Staff max gold, Divine staff Req9 max gold and a Max gold req9 Spear. So all in all a good day. Looking forward to tommorrow where I still need to go farming with the other 2 characters.

So I have had a very Clarifying weekend.
Well, I went Green Hunting this weekend. I managed to kill 24 bosses in a row without doing anything else, and still my last drop was good, ie 3 drops. I got sick of it and decided to try and see if I could turn the code on. Actually, its not difficult to do. All i did was kill the same boss 4 times in a row and my drops fell to 1, just like that.
So the thing to do is this.
Farm a boss or bosses in an area, when thats done, change characters. Proceed to farm different boss or bossess in another area, change characters etc. Simple I know but it seems to work a dream.
Also, the system of "the number of drops" seems to be simpler then I first thought. If the code is on you then u will recieve 1 drop from the boss. If not then u will recieve between 2-3 drops. So 2 or 3 drops in terms of the code means the same thing ie the codes not on you

Lastly, the code does seem to affect across your account. Once, one character has it then they all do. Once one looses it then they all do.
Hope this helps someone
