I took my Spirit Spammer to Sorrow's Furnace to get her mini-Moa and I started wondering just how difficult (or easy) it would be to start farming the SF greens. I know they're not very valuable but its always fun seeing them drop. Its pretty easy to solo farm in Grenth's Footprint and, as it turns out, inside Sorrow's Furnace isn't much harder. Basically I just take a group of H/H with me and clear out all the groups heading to the bosses. Once I get the bosses and their groups alone, I send my H/H away. So far I have pulled:

Galigord's Stone Scroll (x2)
Drago's Flatbow
Villnar's Staff
Vokur's Chakram
Brimstone Wand
Grognar's Blade
Handsmasher
Garbok's Cane
Rago's Flame Staff

Probably the quickest way is to finish all 4 quests and get Final Assault turned on. You pass 6 bosses on the way to the objective and their groups are fairly easy to take down with a SS:

good for you. ;-) this prolly belongs more in the farming section ;-)

Damn, I never considered unlocking FA on my Rit. I've been doing it the hard way - entering SF with no active quests and touring the entire area (obviously omitting the areas beyond the Furnace Guardians.) To add insult to injury, the drops have been absolutely abysmal - I'm losing hope of ever getting a Drago's or a Rago's.

Must try again with your improved wisdom

Also: yes, this belongs in Farming.

people are still suprised you can solo a boss with a spirit spammer? I thought everyone got that memo a long time ago

You can solo all SF very easy.

So I was pottering about Sorrow's to relieve the boredom of grinding Luxon faction when this happened....

No photo-shopping other than to remove IGN.. my jaw was flapping for a good few minutes!

Holy crap, Bob - that has got to be the best multidrop I've EVER seen o_O

WTH . About 0,1% chance for that to happen or what ?

yep, after 4 1/2 years of play I thought my chances for any more WTF moments had gone.

not as good as the multiple times I've gotten Rago to drop all 3 of his greens at once.

anyways there's a better way to solo bosses in sorrow's furnace for their greens

get final assault, perma dagger or sliver sin, and just run all the way from the town to sf entrance, then from sf entrance all the way to the end 2 bosses, and hit them (bring a run skill)

way faster than working your way and clearing with heroes for a spirit spammer

Yep .....
Sliver FTW...
got 2 greens from Rago and Galigords staff and did the run in 6 minutes
perma sin with a run skill
