but, it will take a long time, the melee guys aren't a problem and will drop in no time, but the guys that use bows, on some you'll have to put SS whilst they're not in a group, which could slow you a bit down and offcourse takes more time

I've been farming nahpui alot hte past few days... I'm not sure what the expected return as far as $$$ per hour on a 55 goes, I'm pretty new at it, but I started at a little under 2K and 1 key, and about 2.5 hours later I had a full stack of bones and feathers and about 15 steel ingots vaulted, 7 keys and 5K.
The mobs in nah pui DO drop celestials, just infrequently.

I've got a buddy of mine who is trying 55ing on a N/Mo and seems to have considerably more trouble with this run than I do (I'm running spear of light/smite/scourge healing)... I realize the monk runes will help a good deal, but I stomp through the zone like I own the place, and he's struggling with groups of 2-3 mobs. Player skill may play a small part in it, but can anyone offer suggestions for necro 55ing, that may not be obvious to a newer 55 monk?
Also if there is a different skill set he could use that would include a counter for the star light heals? (I know there are some necro skills that weaken healing, just not sure if they work well enough to matter)

I cant farm outside The Marketplace. The Messmers are killing me, the always interput when i put prot spirit or healing breeze. Gash, I only could killed the ele boss and nothing dropped anyway.
I am a 55hp ele/mo fire dmg.
The Naphui Quearter mission its not so hard, and also got 2 celestial weapons from chests, but no monster dropped one

.
I only need to try the Aspenwood area.

please remember that this is 55 monk farming for a reason

I understand these can be done with others, but if you have off-topic questions on other 55 or farming builds not related to 55 monking, please create a new thread or pm me and I'll try to assist as much as possible even if I don't know a lot about other farming methods.

Hi,

Just thought I would let you know been trying out Nahpui Quarter, You were right about the Lights they are a real pain in the ****.

After a few tries with various builds I tried this one and it works nicely

Protective Spirit, Healing Breeze, Shield of Judgement, Bonnetti's Defence,
Holy Strike, Scourge Healing, Balt Spirit, Mending.

Attrib's
Heal 9, Smit 15, Pro 10, Divine 13, Axe 4 (for 20% Enc)

When you come up against the Lights, get up close and hit them with Scourge of Healing...

Then hit them with Holy Strike.

They seem to love their healing more than their attacking spells coz they then spam

Wielders Boon

Which means thay die quick, with 2 Lights just hit first one as above and move to 2nd one and do the same..

If you see them about to use their big attack just hit ps the extra hp from divine negate the hit !!!!

Enjoy

Ok i just made about 3 runs, I first tryed it at 55. Not so good. Nightmare weapon hits for 50, so next run i used my -20 focus. It worked like a charm, The key is not to swing at them when star lights are in the mob. swinging triggers the nightmare weapon, or it just wears off and hits you once.I back them into a corner and zealots fire them to dealth. i use the same old build i used from the desert, PS,HB,SoJ,Zf,Bsig,BathSp,Mending,EssBond. maxed out smite then split the other points to get around 20 seconds prot,and 7 pips breeze.i cleared all but 2 boss, mesmer, and necro(avoid them) i pull star birds with a bow to clear around necro boss, and mesmer boss. I only have 1 problem with this run. What the heck am i going to do with the 185 feathers i got ?....lol....I guess my assassin can just carry them around

Tsunami Rain · May 26, 2006, 08:50 AM // 08:50

I'll be updating tomorrow (friday). Sorry for the wait.

--edit--
asdf. formed new guild. updating has to wait.

a-scend · May 27, 2006, 06:45 PM // 18:45

I started my 55hp in Factions even though I own Prophecies because I figured I could get to level 20 faster. My question is whether I can get Protective Spirit in Factions from a skill trainer or capture it, rather than completing all the quests necessary to getting in Prophecies. Any suggestions?

never was a problem for me, i never had echancement removal, but we're talking about arborstone area, not the mission, maybe you're in the wrong area

Ecksor · May 29, 2006, 06:46 PM // 18:46

Don't let teh thread die! So are ya workin hard on that update?

Tsunami Rain · May 29, 2006, 09:25 PM // 21:25

every now and then when i have time yes.

having to deal with a lot of things now days:
graduation, getting ready for college, getting a job, modding the forums, managing my new guild, and trying to keep sane all at the same time

When things cool down a bit I'll be sure to update. But as I said, yes, I have it saved in a word document and I'm updating little by little.

Ecksor · May 29, 2006, 09:51 PM // 21:51

WORK???? WORK???? what is this thing that you speak of? if i have never heard of it you surely dont need it either

lol but if ya need help with anything, PM me ingame

Master Kimchee · May 30, 2006, 05:07 AM // 05:07

I'm wondering, do the majority of you guys kill all the bosses on a run? It takes way too long for me to kill the bosses, so I usually end up skipping them. Should I take the extra minutes to kill them or is it not worth the extra time? Thanks. And I'm so glad someone brought out this spot. I'm pretty sure I don't feel like ever seeing a Mounatin Troll in my life ever again...

Aragorn Angelus · May 31, 2006, 12:29 PM // 12:29

Nope I leave the Bosses alone far easier that way.

lord of shadow · Jun 04, 2006, 11:21 AM // 11:21

There's a huge amount more to farm in arborstone than just that small amount. If you go to the left, there's at least 10 more groups that you can go through.
