First of all, this is not a "get rich fast" farm. Speed-run kids can leave the topic

I farm this area because of it's non-inscribable drops, and you never know what weird combo's of shields and weapons or Bo Staff you're going to get.

Been farming this area every now and then since 2006 or 07, started off with the W/N riposte spammer.
After the flashing blades buff I made a sin build to farm it, after the change to Shove I had to make some adjustments but it works alright again.

Skills: Jagged Strike, Fox Fangs, Death Blossom, Flashing Blades, Critical Defense, Critical Agility, "I am Unstoppable!", Consume Corpse.
Atributes: 12+1+2 Dagger Mastery, 12+1 Critical Strikes, 3 Death Magic
Weapons: Zealous daggers of enchanting with +5e inscription.
Armor: I prefer full survivor for the afflicted explosion of the boss, it does not matter a lot.

A usual run can net from 0 - 8 gold drops, and takes about 7 minutes.
I know this is not anything new, I just wanted to share my favorite farming spot/build.

Here's the full run:

Equipment Edit Equipment sectionEdit

* Any staff of enchanting 19%/20% with +10 +5 energy/+15-1.
* Survivor, Radiant, or Nightstalker Insignias
* Necessary runes.

Usage Edit Usage sectionEdit

* Pre-activate and maintain your effects before aggroing groups.
* Switch targets after each SS cast to maximize effectiveness of Spiteful Spirit.
* Use Sniper Support on Stragglers + the Afflicted Horror.
* Toward the end, always attack Sickened Guards First then Sickened Scribes and Sickened Servant's with the aggro of SS'd guards; assist SS dmg with Sniper Support on the casters, eventually you'll get a one hit kill.
* Sometimes you may not be able to kill the "afk" guards by fueling the dmg from the 3 attacking guards, to kill them you may need to use Sniper Support or pull the other group toward the wooden bridge back that leads to the Afflicted Horror.

Optional Edit Optional sectionEdit

* Feigned Neutrality in the optional slot to basically out-gen the burning from Sickened Scribes and to deal with the Afflicted Horror's occasional "Lucky Hits"(Hits hard when he gets past block).
* Virtually Anything you feel comfortable with.

u can even fight scribes if u know WTF ur doing right :3 try this

@lithril
Casting spells on a sin looks boring to me, and I doubt its any faster.

As a note, this may be the best place to get Tetsubo Hammers.Out of all my farming in Factions over 5 years, this is the only area I've ever had them dropped (got two).

They aren't worth much, but then no hammers are. They are pretty decent priced considering that (sold my 2 q9s for 17-20k each).

Bo Staves, Broadswords, Katanas, Mammoth Axes, Crude Axes and the occasional Plagueborn item are the main drops.
And then the default items with every now and then a demonslaying mod/shield thats pretty wanted

put it to the test....or dont bother doubting....its not FASTER necesarily...but can farm MORE enemies

deluxe · Mar 27, 2011, 04:40 AM // 04:40

There's not really a point working your way trough al the pets, since they don't drop anything its just a waste of time

Braxton619 · Mar 27, 2011, 07:13 AM // 07:13

I might try this farm. I like when people post topics like this instead of those UW and FOW farm threads.

Xsiriss · Mar 27, 2011, 09:15 AM // 09:15

I used to do it as an explorable area instead of the mission, that way there's no annoying NPC's to baby sit and more enemies.

nightschroud · Mar 27, 2011, 10:40 AM // 10:40

i found that a warrior with gladiator's defense , can just as easily farm this at about the same time

Coast · Mar 27, 2011, 10:49 AM // 10:49

lol??? Minister Cho Estate in NM has lvl 3 mobs XD

a monk idk, 330hp works perfectly, maybe SOJ also....never tried...u need anyway consume corpse or necrotic traversal otherwise Togo and the other guy open the door and follow you taking aggroo and dying fast..

It's obviuosly HM...it's not easy as it could seem for the foes use shove, which deals a decent dmg and remove stance if u are moving....have to take confidence with build and mobs.

Easier way: SoS with destruction and destroy soul

Coast · Mar 27, 2011, 11:35 AM // 11:35

oh lol sorry, i never go there

Bright Star Shine · Mar 27, 2011, 11:43 AM // 11:43

Used to farm this too^^ In the idle hope of getting Bo Staffs (actually got a q9 smiting once, was crap though). It has some of the most awesome drops there are: Bladed Shields, Tetsubo, Broadswords, etc.. Also, used to salv the whites and blues for Iron^^ Got quite a lot of iron out of it

Coast · Mar 27, 2011, 11:49 AM // 11:49

locked chest give them too i suppose?

Tender Care · Mar 27, 2011, 01:18 PM // 13:18

shields and broadsword drop from chest.....Bo staves never seen dropping from chests..but don't know if they can or no :P

http://www.gwpvx.com/Special:PvXDeco...ry+ve rzenden

attributes :

strenght: 9+1 +2 ( because i didn't have a tactics headgear , i just used my strenght. +1 +2 )
sword : 9
tactics : 12 +1 ( no tactics headgear so yeah , gladiators defense does enough damage here. ^^ )

max deldrimor titel does make it go faster.

this is a build so even warrior can easily do it aswell in 7-8 minutes.

(zealous sword +5energy is a must , all the rest doesn't really matter , i just use survivor armor. )

i'm gonna keep doing this till i get a gold dusk blade.

The Rift · Mar 27, 2011, 03:50 PM // 15:50

This is sutch a fun farm, used to do it alot on my Necromancer.
Havent tried it anymore for a while since some update messed up the build i used. ( talking about a year or 2 ago )
Time to make a Sin then i guess and do one of favourite little farms again
