My main problem right now is finding the runner from gate of desolation to Basalt Grotto... the whole Christmas Morning thing.

Dude, you can just go from Jenuur's Hoarde to Basalt. There's a route from the Vabbi Area to Basalt Grotto, I use it all the time.

That requires one having been to Jennur's Hoard. Going by the storyline, my Sin is supposed to be building the command post.

Ah, I see. I still think it would be easier to complete the Kondur Crossroads mission then just running from there but you do have a point.

Well, I got it his way. Two thumbs up!

yeah , seems interesting skill , low recharge time ... how tho , I prefer Flashing blades as the best Assasin elite skill , i dont rly like shadow steppin' in to a mob , mostly makes u get allot of damage because your first target (not if u do it after one or other whammo is first

)
anyway : flashing blades Deffinatly good , at 10 Shadow it lasts 21 seconds , and w/ the 20 seconden recharge it means u can keep it on 100% of the time + no casting time so u can do it while casting another skill
Flashing Blades : Elite Stance . For 21 seconds you have 50% chance to evade incoming attacks while you are attacking. Something like that

i intend too lean towards a defensive Elite skill because the regular skills like Death Blossom , Fox Fangs , Unsuspected strike , etc ... already do enough damage + u can need some defence w/ the 70AL

I know this has nothing to do with the OP, but Flashing Blades as it is now is IMHO the WORST Assassin Elite.

Even Wastrel's Worry is better. Flashing Blades is one of the first elite caps in Factions, and encourages new Sin players to TANK! Gah?

The only time I will ever use FB is in specific solo farming builds. If it works for you, great, but realize that you'll never realize a sin's true potential if you're trying to tank...

Well, I might just add, that with this "worm trick" getting someone to run you through 2 maps worth of sulphur, it is possible to run pretty much the entire elonian continent.

I needed to cap Shadow Prison on my warrior, so after having got off noobie island, I ran straight from Yohlon Haven, to Nundu Bay, then to Dajkah Inlet, and round toe Venta Cemetery. After that, I did basically as the original guide says, up to capping the skill. However, after having capped the skill, it's possible to run back from basalt grotto, to jennur's horde, and all the way into the heart of Vabbi (The Kodash Bazaar etc). All without having done a single quest on the main island.

It would appear that Elona has just as much, if not more, running potential as Tyria used to

I can see it now "Worm Run"s from Gate of Desolation to Basalt Grotto...

A very interesting find serpic thanks for sharing

glad you guys are making progress with guide. looks like i didnt even think about where else u could run too from there.

Tingi · Dec 30, 2006, 06:22 PM // 18:22

is it also possible to get that awsome ancient (I think) armor for the assassins this way?
