I just started this W/Mo Build and i decided to make it a farmer, can somebody tell me what skills should i pick and where should i put my attribute points. Also, what runes should i buy and armor. I just started so please tell me.
Also, i have the pre-searing collector armor, should i stick with that until i get the droks armor or something or should i buy a new one.

You should replace your armor in Old Ascalon and then again in the jungle and desert using the collectors. If you just started you have a long way to go so don't worry about a farming build yet, just use what you get and what works for you.

Otherwise, do a search or look in the Warrior board for existing posts.

ok as a introduction on w/mo farming ,

i cant just "give u the skills" different skill sets go for different areas and so do armor sets and attributes. say if u wanted to do grifon farming u would need a "griffom farming build" not "a farming build" u can do all sorts of farming in different areas which all change your build. my favourite farming skills has to be doylak sigit , even though it does not get used on grifon runs , if u are going to start farming u must pick where u want to farm. then get the skills , armor and attreibutes.

Start in easier areas and get the feel of it. Progress to harder areas and adjust skills, etc. Decide if you want to use axe, hammer or sword and look at the skills and what they do. Experiment ..... have fun.

Right now im level 12 with 23k and still have pre searing armor. Should i really spend gold on all that armor from old ascalon, jungle, and then desert??

until you get to droks just get collectors armor, it's really cheap and has higher armor than the armor you can get crafted in the area you are currently in.

...It costs 150g per peice for armor in Old Asclon. That armor will take you very far. If you play carefully and use collectors once you hit the jungle, you'll be fine. Then, once you get to the desert, get the collector's armor there, as mentioned, it has the same AL as DF armor, just lacking the bonuses that DF armor would have.

Farming builds, as mendtioned, are very area-specific. In general, each commonly farmed area has a somewhat unique build. No, there is not one "Standard" griffion farming build either.

All you need to know is a little about the area, and your skills. Then consider how you'll lower the damage you take, how you'll heal what you do take, and finaly, how you'll kill things.

Heres a build that should work vs Griffions:

Bonetti's Defense. Quick recharge (8a) defensive stance.
Shield of Judgment. Damage, along with slowing down the speed of incomming attacks.
Cyclone Axe. Recharges Bonetti's, triggers heals and deals damage.
Vig Spirit. Heals with each attack. Works great with Cyclone Axe.
Live Vig. Same as above
Strength of Honor. More damage with Cyclone
Judge's Insight. Even more damage
Sprint. Not nessacay as many will say, but can be a handy way to aboid annoying rockshots.

Not the fastest of builds, but it'll work. You could drop smiting altogether for Glad's Defense, bring some single-target attacks in place of smiting enchants, swap out heals, etc. but the general idea behind most griffion farming builds is to use Cyclone Axe+Bonettis. Is the the only way? No, of course not. You could use armor stacking via Dolyak Sig, and "Watch Yourself!" or Physical Resistance. Do you need healing prayers from a /Mo secondary? Nope, certainly not, altough then you'd need to play it a bit safer.

Griffions are one of the easier spots, besides Minos @ Elona's. Against other mobs you have to consider what you'll be facing, and adjust accordingly. Don't forget Dolyak Sig/Balanced Stance vs Hydras, some evasion stance for fighting trolls (To avoid interupts), and don't bring blocking stances vs Ettins.
