Woutsie · May 09, 2006, 09:03 PM // 21:03

No, 55ing is not impossible. I have farmed that boss lots of times and got 3 green drops. It's close to Maatu Keep

Master Kimchee · May 09, 2006, 11:46 PM // 23:46

Wouldn't 55ing actually be easier... breeze is so much more effective when you're only taking 5 dmg at a time...

Jedimagician · May 10, 2006, 03:26 AM // 03:26

yep 55 is alot easier but im saying you CAN do this easily as well without 55ing... for all those who cant be stuffed making a new set of armour etc...

as for drops you get some random junk...scrolls...i got lucky and got a mammoth axe req 10 15% while enchanted... and the *green* Daggers of Xuekao... which i sell for 20 - 30k each.

Also this place is quite early in the game so you can get to it by doing a few missions...

Killed him 7 times in row and got no dagger :-/,
Anet changed drop rate or it is that low?

Well I killed Wing 60 times and got 4 Wing's Axes, so this doesn't surprise me at all.

And no I wasn't using henchies.

tuna-fish_sushi · May 10, 2006, 11:55 PM // 23:55

where exactly is this guy i cant find him lol><

serpico · May 11, 2006, 09:52 AM // 09:52

this has gotta be the easiest boss there is to kill.
i'm sure a warrior or nec will have no problem soloing here. anyway, i through a build together real quik and got the daggers in 45 minutes. maybe 9 runs i think.
here's a pic of my build, no smite

, and where the boss exactly is located. i'm sure this boss/area will be nerfed within the week so farm him while u can.
peace...

pic of damage gladiators and both riposte can deal. 160dmg, not bad

Parson Brown · May 11, 2006, 06:55 PM // 18:55

I've been killing this guy with my Mo/Me using a pretty bacic 55 setup with Zealots, SoJ and Empathy.

Empathy certainly is not necessary, but it easily cancels his natural regen while waiting for SoJ to recharge. You can combine with SoJ, but you'll get the most bang for your buck using it while SoJ is down because he'll attack more without being knocked down.

Took 10-12 tries to get daggers.

Zerfl · May 12, 2006, 10:07 PM // 22:07

2 runs, 2 daggers. ya, me 'lucky' bastard.

hard to sell tho

i used this build:

KillerGuitar666 · May 12, 2006, 10:17 PM // 22:17

ya, this is also a really easy farm with a ranger trapping

Ray · May 12, 2006, 10:19 PM // 22:19

Or just use Shadow song, together with other ritualist spirits, and he will be dead in seconds.

LIMinator · May 25, 2006, 02:54 AM // 02:54

Yeh, explain how you can get him alone...I always have to pull him out and then the big fight with the jade and the am fah happen and he usually dies.

B Ephekt · May 25, 2006, 04:30 AM // 04:30

It's not very hard to pull him away. You just need to do it before the Am Fah guys spawn.

Farming this guy is kind of a waste though, since the daggers aren't worth much and are pretty hard to sell. I still have 2 that I can't get rid of.

Aryth · Jun 03, 2006, 04:19 AM // 04:19

this has since been nerfed. I just went to go hit him and it has been changed so that the ahm fah guys now pop up out of the floor in aggro range arather than farther away. Total BS but I guess if anyone ever mentions a good farming spot its gonna get nerfed somehow. Theres probably still a way to do it. Ill post if I find one....or maybe i wont post it cause then it will get hit with the nerf bat.

MercenaryKnight · Jun 03, 2006, 04:52 AM // 04:52

Use 105 hp build and go around from the right. You can usually pull xuekao and the necromancer and healer hench with him. Necro does a 65dmg signet so thats why I use 105. It takes awhile to do it but keep using soj and wanding the monk, once you kill him focus on the necro. Then once the necromancer dies you can switch to 55 and with a +4 mending you can just keep casting prot spirit and holy strike to kill xuekao with soj.

Bloodied Blade · Jun 03, 2006, 02:31 PM // 14:31

@Aryth, it was never nerfed, you attempted the run in an incorrect fashion. If you do not follow the route perfectly, the mob spawns, and he likely dies. You go in the first possible entrance, and pull him with a bow. My assassin can farm him effortlessly in under 3 minutes (the entire run from exit to boss to dead boss).

The daggers do not drop often, so don't complain if you can't get them in only 20 minutes of effort. I can make up to 100k+ on a weekend doing this run. If anyone wants lessons on how to farm him with an assassin, I charge 10k to teach you to get to him, the skill setup, and how to defeat him. If the daggers drop during the service, you may keep them (he will be killed from 3-5 times during the service).

There are guides on how to farm him with an assassin (and I have posted the build that I use), so you by no means must pay for a lesson. It's just something I'm putting out there to help those who are having trouble.

If I'm feeling generous, I may give the customer a free set of Xuekao's Daggers, Chkkr's Pincers, or Kenshi's Butterfly Daggers. It depends on my mood.

Incorrect... as of yesterday at least, they have added new pop ups of am fa to the very spot that you would normally pull with a bow to. Try the run again before you post. Basically some Am Fa you will need to kill first and his groupies I was not able to separate him from. Oh well, just had to kill them all

Seems they hit green drop rate with an nerf bat too for the several spots I have been farming for the last few weeks. Soloed about 60 bosses and not one green last night. Hope that was just a seriously bad stroke of luck or the botters are going to be getting a nice bonus for green farming.
