Curse

Hi there!
Got over 500 Wintergreen-CCs now so here is one efficient way to get Gargoyle-sculls with a Rt/R...

Restoration:16
WS: 9
BM: 9
Rest is irrelevant...

Skills:

VwK (Vengful was Kanhei)
Serpents Quickness
Vengeful Weapon
Generous was Tsungrai
Resilient Weapon
Stormchaser
Mend Body and Soul (or another selfheal, not really needed)
EoE (Edge of Extinction)

You'll best exit the Nolani Academy Outpost to the north, run to the stairs, there should be one group waiting there. Put on GwT and RW, walk up the stairs and argo the group with the boss. Pull them, so that no one is standing behind somthing (make sure everyone is hitting you). Activate SQ and VwK and immediately lay down the EoE. You can speed up triggering the EoE-bomb by using VW one time. The only survivor will be the boss, which is easily killed with VW alone.
When everyone is dead, continue to the ruins of nolani memorial statue and agro all three groups there. To make sure that everyone hits me I usually go in a circle aggroing the left two groups, then walking through the "A" formed columns directly to the stairs and a little bit back between those two columns on the right side of the stairs. Then use the same procedure as listed above. When finished, continue down the stairs agro as many groups as possible and repeat the procedure.

A few remarks:

I find it really easy, if I do net let RW run out.
If you run low on energy activate stormchaser.
If your health drops below 50% SQ will not work, so drop GwT before activating SQ.

This is really EASY! Anyone without skills can do it.

HF and GL (good loot i mean)!

MH.

PS: Sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes, I'm german.
PPS: This does work for Grawls and Undead and even Nightmares (south of the Temple of Ages).

Just for the record -- if you want to farm grawl between Frontier Gate and Ruins of Surnia, Step 1 is:

Abandon the quest Last Day Dawns.

Lol yeah no doubt and step 2 stop heading out from frontier gate and start going down from surmia , the run seems more effiecient that way.

i think someone might have mentioned it but if not gates of kyrta mission farm

you get decayed orr emblems and dye at the same time

before the event i farmed there for about 3 weeks and when wintersday rolled over i got 5000 CCs of thre bat and getting about 100 a day now

RebelHero · Dec 28, 2006, 10:39 AM // 10:39

Skulls all the way. 3 hours of farming = 250 CCs

Grawl are 4 1/2 - 5 candy canes/run. Plus 1 dye, and I've gotten both white and silver so far.

Shards aside (arguably), the other drops probably aren't worth picking up. The gargoyles give a lot of 60 gold + blues, but the grawl seem to give very few.

By the way, I got both white and black dyes farming yesterday (grawl and gargoyles respectively).

And two low-end gold staves in the same run one of the times I did GoK.

woops francis already got this gj man.

Interestingly enough, I've gotten 2 black dyes in a couple days from farming, both from gargoyles. Considering I've only gotten 2 other black dyes in the other 16 or so months I've played this game...Probably just good luck.

Go to Ruins of Surmia, exit outpost and run west, when you follow the path you'll also encounter a circle filled with crawls and further a little hill filled with them as well. At that hill there's the end of the run, so it's quite small but you can farm there like crazy and get loads of stuff in no time.

Grawls have low armor against Lightning Damage, so shocking mods really put the hurt on. Air Elementalists should be having a field day here. I believe you run east out of Ruins though.
