Curse

well i don't know if there's already a build. but i used some heroes and hench + some alliance guy that didnt want to afk, and were able to afk farm.

CONS-
well the first time i did it with H/H afking. i died at 24ish mins. so i think this would be more effective and have a higher survival chance if u had a partner afker(need his heroes).

how it works is that you ping your heroes on that spot where i have it. and then you go AFK! you need to help out a tiny bit in the beginning to get the bodies flowing but after that heroes has it under control. also since your afking you might as well go bonder. it help migates the dmg for your squishes and lets them survive better. also like i said it would be better if u had an afk partner for his heores( some sort of motigon, protter, and tease mesmer). after about 40mins. the guys stop coming but the waves continue. so u still get points. when u get back on u can kill the adepts for some extra points like i did.

Siege turtles spawn but they didnt not come to the island area. (idk if it was a glitch or what) but anyways i need to further test this. ill post the heroes builds up later.

Suggestions/comments? etc etc?

Extremely misleading. This is no kind of AFK farm like the previously exploited AFK farm that was fixed months ago. This does require you to do some work with yourself and heroes in order to get through all of the waves and not let the battle priest die. The turtles and no futher waves approaching has been the nature of the arena for some time now.

.. its essentialy afking farming. you leave you char there and let your heroes do the work. it is still considered afk because you are required to do nothing. really in the beginning you dont have to do anything. also the old AFk farm required to lose hp and run into the corner of the map. so if you are saying my way of afking is not afking because i use heroes and do some minor setting up, you are saying that the "AFK" farm months ago was also not really AFK farming. ALSO i said u CAN go kill turtles and adepts if you want some extra points.

Looks pretty good to me I will try this tonight.

@Shayne: I don't see how this is not AFK farming. Over course minus the set up, you can leave your computer and comeback and have gained Luxon faction. Its not exactly the same as the original afk luxon farm, but its still an afk luxon farm.

im very interested in hearing more of this, would make quick work of finally maxing out my luxon track. assuming there is no time limit, faction cap. or anything limiting the time you can go afk for this.

in other words, if it works. YAAY! free faction while sleeping! YAAY!

Lolwhut? It's still AFK even if there's setup time...

Anyways, seems good, can't wait to try it out.

Lol? look at the time taken and the points earned. This isnt really a way to max titles. I guess it could work to get you a little extra but MQSC>all by far.

So what is your total faction gain over 56 minutes?
You could post the builds for people who have never used Sabway or a variant before.
To open this up to even more feedback you could post optional hero builds so people could comment on overall effectiveness of a 6 hero team

In the end though thanks for the post, good way to get some extra faction while sleeping

MQSC is all well and good, but when you're not actively at your PC, (asleep), you can use this to get faction, Idk how well this one works by comparison to the old one, but you could get a barful with that by doing nothing.

if u want to max title this ISNT the way to go. like you said speed clears are by far the fastest. but to cut down time u can do this while working/sleeping/school/ and other activities. you get 50luxon points a min. so in one hour you get 3k faction. but unlike the other AFK farm you're killing the mobs(i should say ur heroes) and you get 1 point per enemy killed.

and i dont want to post until ik for sure this will work. the real variable here are the henchies and spawns. but im sure if u had an extra set of heroes you'll be fine

but still. Volunteers?

Oblivious Moose · May 22, 2010, 07:42 AM // 07:42

ugh, i cant be bothered doing a speed run 500 times. if i have to do anything more than twice in a day, i turn the game off and go outside, do something more productive.

Myotheraccount · May 22, 2010, 09:32 AM // 09:32

MQ take same time and gives over 10k faction. How much does this give? Also, considering the nature of this farm, Spirits will rock there. (will have to make new builds anyway cause yours are prolly far from ideal)
