Curse

Levi Garett · May 04, 2007, 06:09 PM // 18:09

I mostly get gold runes, but I've gotten rare platinum sickles dropped from the assassins, and I think some other non-rune items as well.

Didn't realize that Essense bond wasn't triggering. I know that I never have energy problems so I assumed it was doing it's job. I'll look to add another curses skill to the bar to swap it out...

So I'm only getting ~35% of the return on EB since SH negates it but SoA doesn't.

Looks like Suffering might be a good choice, or maybe Mark of Pain them on the mini-staircases?

Well.... I finally got it.

@Garett

How about Reckless Haste? Yes, it's 15 nrg, but a monk can spare that, plus SS will kill a lot faster.

RH only makes them hit less, the attackspeed in HM is already 133-150%, which is the maximum.

HolyHawk · May 05, 2007, 06:48 AM // 06:48

I got a max gold cleave so far, and a platinum wand in the very first run. But I got SO many gold runes, it's like, at least 2 per run. It's a very nice spot to raise your treasure hunter level, since the path can include up to 4 chests. Anyone managed to get platinum stuff from the assassins?

Thats becuase you dont have the quest.

if you have the quest in the your log, it will make only assassins spawn.

Ok, I tested unsteady ground out in place of earthquake, works nicely.

dark_slayer · May 05, 2007, 12:22 PM // 12:22

I did about 30 runs and i got nothing but a cupple of gold runes. Not worth it imo

feelthafire · May 05, 2007, 02:48 PM // 14:48

very nice one ! im using a mo/n for the farm and use ss and mark of pain which improves kill speed alot! just need 1 ss and they are all dead! and i also have RH though i dont see its advantages..

magnawiz · May 05, 2007, 10:47 PM // 22:47

wait are they supposed to pop up? because they're already there :| walking around, does that mean i need a quest or something? or already did the quest?

I believe that if you have completed the quests, the mobs of various professions will spawn (necro, ele...intead of assassins). Making it difficult to solo.

....I could be wrong tho.

I think without the quest active, you can still solo the place using echo shadow form sin build for tomb (haven't tried because my sin is far into NF instead of factions).

That takes way too long...
dont worth it i think

You can farm it with a mesmer! (for all you mesmer lovers out there).

12 Restoration Magic
10 Channeling Magic
6+1 Inspiration
6+1 Fast Casting

Vengeful was Khanhei
Arcane Echo
Vengeful Weapon
Spirit Rift
Channeling
Physical Resistance
Channeled Strike (for the boss)

At first you'll wonder how you'll survive against all those Iron Palms, but then they just do physical damage which VwK easily soaks up. Might not be as fast as a Mo/N, but mesmers can do it.
