Forget the /mo secondary. Here's the build I use, works PERFECT.

Strength:8
Inspiration:8
Axe Mastery:13
Tactics:13

Ive been farming these for 3 days now. The drops seem to have stayed the same at minimum is 1 shard which still covers the next 3 to 4 runs and the maximum Ive had is 5 shards and 2 keys. I never use keys for a chest. I seem to always lose out when opening them and the quick 1k from a key is far much better

I spose I'll do something different today so the Anti doesnt kick in

I think I am going to mod it and sell it. I don't particularly care for stance even though this whole run uses stances, and I think the Weaponsmith at Droks with the 15^50 Axe is fine by me. It was my first run and I didn't get a single shard from these guys, so that was my only good drop. My second observation is, that I believe when you are nearing the completion of a skill point, somehow you have a higher rate of getting rares. I have several screenies of when I killed a monster and it dropped something good. It happened when I got my Saph. BTW, all you guys using axes, do yourselves a favor and pump it up to 16, and then use the Razorstone.

What i usually do is farm this once a day cause then it gives the anti farming a chance to disappear. When i farm once a day i get like as much as you would with 4 runs in a row. The chests usally drop me chaos axes and loads of shadow blades. With the keys they are worth keeping and using cause it is worth a gamble you might get a perfect axe.

@ Jas D, why the hell would u put 8 in inspiration? i just put my remaining points into inspiration (2), which gives me 38... more than enough.

Jas D · Mar 17, 2006, 05:18 PM // 17:18

8 inspiration for energy consuming.

You can spend more time dealing damage and not having to worry about psychical resistance as much. Works extremely dandy too, you don't need "zomg me need max axe n axe strength 2 do dmg".. that's not how it works.

You try my build however you want to, Im using what works best for ME, and I personally think it's perfect.

If you actually paid attention to this thread, you would see that the majority of people in the thread have been running that build for quite a while.

me and a few others were watchin racthoh run the build to get a better understanding of how to do it and he got like 5 shards and on wensday i think he got 6 shards 2 rubys and a gold shadowbow so i dont think theres anything wrong with the drops.

I have better things to do than going through 44 pages, I'm not like you.. keep your comments to yourself.

Gildor Took · Mar 18, 2006, 03:22 AM // 03:22

dunno if its already been posted but is there a build that can farm the spiders AND the skales?

Jas D · Mar 18, 2006, 03:25 AM // 03:25

Skales do life transfer.. I perfer not to deal with them. You would need something that would restore your health, ex: healing breeze. But still having the skales gain the benefit from the transfer seems annoying enough to me.

Racthoh · Mar 18, 2006, 04:11 AM // 04:11

The skales yield little profit, and even if they did drop shards with more frequnecy the hassle of killing them is too much. You can't use enchantments since they'll rend, you pretty much just have to spam Healing Signet against them if you want to kill them.

Also, thanks everyone for making this the largest thread in the Tyrian Explorer's League.

Lowly Peasant · Mar 18, 2006, 07:03 AM // 07:03

I just had my first successful run.

3 shards, 1 key and a rare chaos axe wich I salvaged a max enchanting mod off of. Took me 3 tries before I managed it, but it was very worth it.

If you have better things to do than read the thread, you have better things to do than post in it.

Best suggestion I have for you is to keep your little fingers off the keyboard, before you look like a fool.

Stop posting useless rant like that other idiot did, you're messing up forums and you're looking like an idiot. Grow up a bit, eh?

Edit: Ok, how about this.. I'll do what I want, when I want.. and you'll like it?

I'm not responding to your stupid flames anymore, I'd rather keep this thread clean, instead of cloging it with your useless comments.

Good day.

I think Ubermancer posted a guide on how to do it.

Do us all a favor and dont respond to anything anymore. You have better things to do then to actually read the thread your posting in anyways, right. How ignorant. When you make a post and people start complaining, you might want to think about who is the one 'messing up the forums' and 'looking like an idiot'.

Back on topic: I think theres about a 33% chance of making through the skale to the cave. If the 2nd group of skale are wondering around things can get really tight in safe zone 1. You need patience, pull some of the dryders and driftwoods out. The more you kill the easier it will become. I think there are normally 6 groups of scale, 3 static and 3 wondering. They all suck. Whoever says there are doing this run in 20 minutes is crazy, I even find 45 hard to believe.

Ajantis · Mar 18, 2006, 08:15 PM // 20:15

Why? I have a 100% success rate, can't kill skales with the setup I use now, I could kill them with racthoh's original build. The run might be hard when you just start doing it but after a while it becomes boring and terribly easy.

As for time, I think 20 might be a bit low, from start (rastigan) till finish (end of cave) I average about 30 minutes I think. Might be less if I use a build for spiders only (I do forest too).
