Curse

I'ver been using Witte's W/RT farming build, and have used it successfully in Anvil Rock as he suggested on Minotaurs on hard mode. I plan on running the Underworld with it once I have the money to spend on it, since I know I'll screw up my first few tries. Does anybody have any good farming spots that yield more money than minotaurs using the build?

if u modify it a bit, it can do the UW solo

Stupid Bladed Aatxes won't stop chasing me even after I run to the back wall when farming the UW.

Bad luck
Sometimes they dont break ,rare.

Atellier · Feb 02, 2008, 05:00 AM // 05:00

6 platinum down the drain so far. Let's hope I learn my lesson soon.

Edit : 2 more tries, agro didn't break twice in a row. The last 6 platinum was 4 screw ups and 2 unlucky agro breaks.

That means 4 screw ups, and 4 times of the agro not breaking. It's not as a rare as it seems.

in UW normally you'd bring 2 speed boosts sprint + enraging

if you mean breaking the aatxe in the very first room all you have to do is hit sprint arrgo grasps and run back.... they always break arrgo for me unless I get stuck somewhere. This way you run all the way to the other side - away and only the grasps will follow. To be safe dont hit dolyak right away so you can possibley run further.

I don't have 'Enraging Charge' yet and am a little too lazy to grab it at the moment. Might grab it after I get far enough in the Nightfall campaign and get to a skill trainer that provides it.

So, I have 'Rush' and 'To The Limit!' alongside my 'Sprint.' It proved to be pretty effective, but I accidentally got too many Smite Crawlers on me (I think it was over 6) and ended up dead anyway. Still, I managed to make some money back, and have 3 platinum on me now. I started with 13 platinum. That gives you an idea of how many times I died.

died from only 6 smites? XD well enraging would free up another skill slot that you can bring so it would be best to either buy a war tome for like 400 gold and unlock it with pvp faction.

Enraging charge is also great for building Bonettis up fast.

Atellier · Feb 02, 2008, 06:05 AM // 06:05

Oh crap, I just remembered. I scored a warrior tome farming Anvil Rock. Ironic that I was complaining about it. Heh.

Make sure you're not trying to do Smite Runs in Hard Mode, you simply can't skipt he Aatxes due to their inherent speed boost.

When I do VwK Smite Runs, I like to keep it simple: Sprint, Enraging Charge, VwK, Dolyak Signet, Signet of Stamina - with 15 Strength and 12 Restoration.

Sure people might say "you'll die at the Grasps due to energy denial" - well learn to weapon swap!

You don't need both Sprint and Enraging Charge for that run; one or the other works fine. You don't need a constant speed boost if you just practice a bit. You just need to know where to run, and when. You do this by watching the patrols. You could take 2 if you just need to practice, or if you just want to save a little time. Enraging Charge is optimal for charging Bonettis Defense. There's faster UW builds for W/X than VwK, though. Try dont feel no pain's W/Me build:

That is not Witte Was' version of the build for UW, by the way. That's from his HM thread. He made a thread just for UW, and that is here:

Atellier · Feb 02, 2008, 09:12 PM // 21:12

I just ran into a nice stone wall (not literally.) I have only 200 gold left. I was about to mike it to the smites, but then there was a sharp 5 second lag spike and I dropped dead out of nowhere.

I wonder which enemy it was that killed me.

Are there any other places to farm with VwK other than Avil Rock and UW? I don't expect to get thousands like from the UW, but 1 platinum only on a lucky run in Anvil Rock is depressing.

blurmedia · Feb 02, 2008, 09:46 PM // 21:46

i believe witte have some here

He only has Anvil Rock and Nebo Terrace there. I never bothered with Nebo Terrace because the drops are a little hard to sell compared to the Warrior Tomes and swords from Anvil Rock.

Also, I know that I seem picky and unappreciative, but I'm not doing that on purpose. I guess I'm a little too lazy to say thanks to each post.

Antithesis · Feb 02, 2008, 11:08 PM // 23:08

If you want an easy Warrior UW build, try the W/D version - OQojEppsKOQXhSn2nwXL3G20CA

I found it easier than the W/Rt or the W/Me farmers and well suited to UW noobs like myself. Just make sure you take a Zealous Scythe of Enchanting.

On topic - you can farm Jade Brotherhood outside Wajjun Bazaar, Vermin outside Senji's Corner and Raptor Nestlings outside Rata Sum with a W/Rt. Nestlings is your best bet for making some cash.

The AFK Monk · Feb 02, 2008, 11:20 PM // 23:20

there's also this

if you scroll down a bit there's a w/rt build

just a note, vermin are just about impossible to farm now due to their self-heals

Nooooooooooos, no more uber easy Cele's

(I take it this will affect the Rit Farming aswell?)

Abedeus · Feb 03, 2008, 02:50 PM // 14:50

Oh, right, vermin's can't be farmed in Hard Mode, as before we just had to watch out and not attack them. Now we... uhm... Nothing ;o Only normal mode is left.

Lukas · Feb 03, 2008, 03:12 PM // 15:12

Well, I guess you could TRAP vermins in HM, or are we talking warrior and rit only farms here?

Smokin elementalist · Feb 03, 2008, 08:39 PM // 20:39

ok, if your at the end of gwen you can do destroyer cores....
i dont farm much on my VwK anymore so i dont know much of the farming spots
also btw i spent about 15 plat trying to lean that build in UW but i am also very slow for learning new builds, just trying to give u a figure.
