Well the drop rate isnt too good, but it's worth it. Check out kosh's yeti post. That yeti boss drops his shield pretty well. I got it once in every 3-7 runs...

And the rest.. they differ. For example it took me like 25 runs before I got "Daggers of Xuekao".

Consider making a pure boss killer. Word of Censure, Spear of Light, Kairen's Wrath, Symbol of Wrath, Balthazars Aura, Zealots Fire, Scourage Healing, etc. What the other mobs drop is likely to be irrelevant, so just kill the bosses fast and hard.

The Daggers of Xuekao I got on my third attempt, luck I guess but I wont be farming him again, it took way too long to sell the daggers. So far after 5 runs nothing from the yeti, how's the market for his shield?

ok....after that silly old yeti, ive tried some one more...harder to say the less.

Royen Beastkeeper, hes a ranger bow that can be found in Nahpui Quarter (Explorable).

ive spent about 10 hours and 12-15 k on skiilz trying to kill him. here is the prob:

1.i can get all the way to him. easy. (kill or not kill any npc on the way is a matter of do or do u not.

the only npc u cant almost never kill are the rit. they use Soothing Memories.

now here is the prob. when u ge to him you aggro about 5-7 other ncp that are around him. if u kill them u get no energy once you are left with him alone. if u dotn kill them ,well u get 43 constant energy,,but most of the time he got like 4 of those rit around him that heal him.

ive tried many diff skillz and class. no luck yet. also he uses troll regen so that add.
ive played with the build long and tried it... 8 skillz seem just not enough to make it solo.

edit: imo hes not even worth it that much, from about 30 tries... only seen him holding that bow 2-3 times.but i just want him to die!!!!.

I've also been trying to kill him. The problem i was having was how to deal with those damn mesmers. There's 3 right at the base of his hill that you have to agro to get to him and they interupt like crazy. How do you usually deal with the interupts?

Mantra of Resolve-For 30...78 seconds, you cannot be interrupted, but each time you would have been interrupted, you lose 10...5 Energy or Mantra of Resolve ends.

Everything they can nerf already got nerfed. For example, zealots fire makes baddies run away, making it much more difficult to get a good area of effect going.

glyph is ele skill if im not mistaken. also mantra of resovle is laot better...insted of spamming 5 energy skill every time u hit reslove once and thats it. energy is not a prob cuz u getting planty from baltzz spirt. SV will be nice unless they lose 3 energy for each melee attack, so with about 3-4 in ill magic u got 10 sec energy lose with 20 sec cooldown. he regen to fast. also shivers will work just fine but then u have no way of getting to the boos w/o reslove on you.

again the prob is: if you kill them all around him. u stand left with him. u have to cast prot sprit once in 18-20 sec=10 energy.
soj = 15 energy
Spirit Shackles=10 energy. thats 35 enrgy every 20 sec or so. u have to keep Spirit Shackles to keep his hp in the same rate til soj rechrge. u have to keep prot spirt up. breeze is no need with just him. i ditch baltzz aure and bless aura cuz i need the energy so u got only -1 energy regen and +3. and still i cant kill him. energy is all the prob.

on the other hand. if i use a diff 55 build that i made i keep all around him alive..im in a pool of energy but... those rit just keep healing with Soothing Memories. i dare you try to kill 1..only 1 of those. not to mantion 4-5 near him. im not saying it cant be done to kill one..just take alot of time. with Tranquil Was Tanasen on them u cant interp them so they heal and heal. also they dont attack fast enough to make soj any good on them. every group that i kill like that the only one stand standing in the end is the rit.

so again my prob. if u kill all those around him. u left with no energy to kill him.

if u dont kill them they just keep healing him to damm fast.

ive spent about 20 hours or so now. cant try anymore more now. my monk is in the deep and you know who took over there so no rides in. so hes parked there.

hmm are you sure? ive been doing zealot lots of time and the AOE help... i cant tank alot more with the 2 sec window... u got to much aggro? hit prot and breeze right away...half of the group will run and the rest just going on you.

it make aggro control alot easier. not all nerf has an upside, this one has for sure, just need to know how to use it right.
