Curse

As of now, I was planning on farmnig 160-180 ectos, but today I farmed uw 4-5 times and only got 1 ecto. I want to know if I should keep doing uw, or go somewhere else. I have 15 ectos atm, so if anyone can give me some ideas, I'd love it

Thanks.

Any examples appreciated!

Farm for money and buy ectos, will go faster this way !

Doubefoot · Feb 05, 2008, 07:22 PM // 19:22

Any ideas on what to farm or where? I was thinknig maybe do a few ids runs, umm, idk what others might work?

I've mentioned this in a couple other threads before, I gave up farming UW for ectos long ago, instead I switched to the first part of Tomb with the E/A sliver armor/shadow of haste/shadow form build. There are 6 dryders and 3 riders that can drop ectos and try to take out at least all the dryders and 1-2 riders each run (takes too long to kill all the riders) and restart. On my best run I killed all the dryders and 2 of the 3 riders in less than 4 mins, the overall time:kill ratio is prolly the same if not better than UW and you don't have to pay to get in. You won't make a lot money running this since you don't kill a lot stuff, and the drop rate for ectos depends on your luck, I've gone through double digit runs w/out an ecto and then 3 ectos in 2 runs, but if I was on a mission to farm ectos I'd take this place over UW anyday.

DoA runs......make about an armbrace in like 3-5 runs and you can do about 6 runs a day(gets really boring) but its a good money maker. I9 got my monks obby armor in like 4 days farming DoA... gl

Duoing seems to drop a lot more ectos, though its best to do this with a friend.

I've done W/RT build and have gotten that same crappy luck as you. 3 Runs no ectos its just not worth the effort XD. You can try doing that Chakbeh village mission in the start of NF, most people say do a mission if you are getting bad drops... I doubt it really works but you can try!

Doubefoot · Feb 05, 2008, 07:37 PM // 19:37

Hmm, I may try tombs. And sorry to sound like a lazy butt, but do you have a build for DoA? Also, what I sorta do. I shall look also, but if its easy and not too much if you have something on hand, that'd be great

Thanks.

Artorius.Maximus · Feb 05, 2008, 08:47 PM // 20:47

There was one day I ran the W/Rt through UW and got 5 ectos in one run. Drops were a little weird that day, but I usually average 1 or 2 ecto a run when I do that (and don't screw up and get killed in chamber).

Doubefoot · Feb 05, 2008, 09:07 PM // 21:07

Do you take group by group, or combine some? I did get 3 ectos my first run then 4 my 2nd 3 days ago. So I'm not sure yet, as of now, DoA or Tomb sounds good. But I may stick with uw if drops increase better, also, I may need more info on what farmnig to do in DoA :P

Can you explain more of this Domain of Anguish run? O:
What "run"? Farming? CR? Any builds?
Thanks! XD

It seems that the ecto drops recently have been pretty poor in UW. Me and guildie have gone in in HM with 600/Smite, and we just gave up-out of 20 tries we only got 3 ectos-and that's total!

But then I hear some people get 1-2 ectos per run with VwK, so there might be something there.

Anyways good luck!

I believe that Jesse is talking about HM full runs. You get like 2 margonite, 4 stygian, 6 torment and 8 titan gems I believe and runs are around 2 hours to 4 hours vastly depending on the quality of your team.

At what place do you meet up at? Gate of Madness? And is there any specific build team that is in use?

Covah · Feb 05, 2008, 10:32 PM // 22:32

meet up in Gate of Anguish, either have a monk with healers boon, or mimicry + LoD. Or bring any other profession with Ursan Blessing and R6+ norn.

Xx_Sorin_xX · Feb 06, 2008, 02:51 AM // 02:51

Yea I'd say DoA is your best bet if you have decent LB/Norn. Ursanway has made DoA extremely easy. Ambraces still sell for a lot.

Doubefoot · Feb 06, 2008, 03:17 AM // 03:17

Hmm, all thanks for all the help, as of now, my assasin is the only one who beat nf, is there anything I can do with him? Also, do I have to party up with prob like a friend or something? Also, if at all possible, does anyone know of a guide for this?

Avatar Exico · Feb 06, 2008, 05:21 AM // 05:21

If you want Ectos alot of them. Do Duo 600/Smiter Etneral Wasteland(HM) from what my friend told me it can be done with Hero and you can make rofly 4 ectos a run. He and his Friend went they both got 4 in there. Look at it Spectrals have 4% of Ecto Drop rate, x this by what 16 for all 3 grps(3-5-8) got better chance of Ecto Drop.

Enethyl Nagiwe · Feb 06, 2008, 08:06 AM // 08:06

I farm UW with a Rt/W and try to do not more then 2 runs a day. And i get an average of 1-2 ecto's a run. It takes about 20 minutes a run. And with the additional drops you somewhat earn your entry fee back ( if you don't get killed )

Nelis Bonecrusher · Feb 06, 2008, 08:14 AM // 08:14

hell i farm lazy way

CoF runs...just pay 2-2,5k, let the runner do the work, pick up loot, open hidden chest's, get ya shit from the end chest nd get rich while doin nothing but watchin

(ya get about 5-9k profit a run, with chances of gettin onyx's nd golds)

Doubefoot · Feb 06, 2008, 03:44 PM // 15:44

Well, as of now, I don't think CoF loads for me, so thats a bummer for me. And also, I want to beat eotn so I can get hm and get to r6 norn on my sin, then I shall start to farm DoA for a bit, just to see how things work out. But, my pc doesn't load Rata Sum either, so I need to wait til i go over to a friends house, or I get him to do the one quest for me. But as of now, I'll be gonig from topk to uw, then eventually DoA

Thanks, if anyone has any better ideas, I'd love if you shared them
