I'll try it again, but I think that the pull is still doable...there's like 4 different spots that you can attempt it from and only one of them works without aggroing the mob to you. The Am Fah still pop, but the boss aggros separately, I'll take a look at it on Tuesday when I have more time.

i hate this. there was an assasin build that could solo him (very difficult, though) that i saw a while back. i used it and killed him at least 30+ times, but i never got his daggers. now they added the new spawns, so i have to find a new spot to farm. this is getting really stupid.

I will try out that 105 build and see if that works for me but honestly havent been interested in farming him anymore. Just thought I would give a heads up to everyone when I noticed the spawn change.

If you go around the furthest entrence... to the right then up that long walkway, aggro him and pull him back down and out in the grass. Usually you can get him and only his healer and necro guy. With a 105 build you can still take them down it just takes a bit longer if you really want the daggers badly. Once you kill the necromancer you will be able to switch to your -50 focus for less damage. But don't do it before then because of his barbed signet that does 61 damage.

Oh ya, still doable if you are not just a reader here for builds that are sureshot kills. Just more things to deal with is all, and the drops...well

Kinda nerfy-stingy now on the green.

It's just been discovered that there was a way you can do this that is probably easier than the former fashion. Arcane Echo + Shadow Form.

@Aryth, don't be a jerk to other posters on the forum, it's an optional service. I've had one buyer so far and they already recouped their losses. I'm offering to show something that many people are unfamiliar with (and sharing the technique in writing for free). If they're having trouble with this, they are free to pm me in game and either ask to be shown the run or get the daggers at a reduced price.
**As of Saturday the service is free, I found the archer spawns (cake) but am unsure if I can get past the combined monk and necro spawns**

The offer for the free daggers still remains (jeez, I've given away like 10 sets of these things to friends).

shadowmist · Jun 07, 2006, 01:06 AM // 01:06

I did this a few days back with 105 hp. Pulled the boss and the healer and necro in his group from the east side and just back up to a hill section. Took 3-4 Shield of Judgements to kill the boss, healer and necro goes down in 2-3. Used a staff btw, attacked the boss for 12-15 damage to slow down the Shadows Refuge. Got the drop in 3 successful runs ^_^

SlashR4 · Jun 07, 2006, 02:23 AM // 02:23

Do u lure the new spawns or do u just charge in with a wammo and kill them all to those that don't use monk primary?

Don't blame you at all, and I would say charge more for your time. 10k is cheap time for teaching. Some people around here seem to think nothing of the time they spend or expect others to spend for farming. Soon as they learn something "for cheap" they run around saying how easy it is..... when infact, if it were so easy they wouldn't need to be scalping ideas from the boards in the first place.

Best of all things to ya Bloodied

Nam Seill · Jul 07, 2006, 09:32 PM // 21:32

Can you please answer a noob question - is it possible to farm these daggers with henchies only? (you + 7 henchies, for instance)

Former Ruling · Jul 07, 2006, 11:08 PM // 23:08

Nam Seill - Its impossible to "farm" anything with henchies...Merely BRINGING henchies means its no longer a "Farming" trip lol.

Henchies take your drops - so never use them farming. Your 10+ trips to get the daggers will turn into about 100+ trips.. .

Nam Seill · Jul 08, 2006, 10:00 AM // 10:00

I see. Thank a lot for your response. Now I just need to find an assasin build which can do this alone...

Yarrick · Jul 08, 2006, 09:38 PM // 21:38

If you wanna farm him just use a standard 55 monk build, only u need 105hp. Personaly, I use Kepkhet's instead of the cesta and the following skill setup.

PS
HB
SoJ
Bonetti's
Blessed Sig
Mending
Balth's Spirit
Essence Bond (or Blessed Aura for making SoJ last longer)

It's still very doable. Just ignore the 4 rangers, agro the boss and there should be no problem. You can also pull him back to the wall after u agro him. The rangers will die soon enough and so will Xuekao.

pve-er · Jul 09, 2006, 12:23 AM // 00:23

I solo Xuekao 30+ times and he drop no dagger for me

Symphony of Light · Jul 16, 2006, 11:48 PM // 23:48

Thanks for the guide, by the way the 'Strike' you are thinking of is "Stonesoul Strike." Unfortunately, it is pretty impossible to pull him.

The Final Fighter · Jul 17, 2006, 02:20 AM // 02:20

Gah, before the nerf i had soloed him around 50 times (no joke) and got 7 of his daggers. Back then people were buying them for 20-30k so i made quite a bit of money, but now a guildie needs one and I needa farm him one. *sigh*

Did u solo him?? if so, how on earth did u do it? ive only done it with henchis and it was sooooo hard

i onyl did it to get his elite

Zecarn · Jul 17, 2006, 01:15 PM // 13:15

some of you want a solo assasin build...i posted one about a month ago that i STILL use...she uses 105-135hp its very simple..and you can do this run in a couple of mins.
Let me go find it.....

Remember this was a little over a month ago..so.if som1 else came out with another solo assasin build...there wasnt one then.
anyway..here it is:

I hav been reshearching(SP) factions builds lately, and i hav yet to find a SOLO assasin build!!
Although this ticked me off alot, i did som more reschearch on the skills of assasin, warrior, memser, elemental, ritualist, and ranger. but..you NEED to be a monk(secondary).
monk as secondary is needed.

the build is simple, and flexible on the attack skills.

WEAPONS:
Daggers, max dmg, low req, NEEDS TO BE ZELOUSE!
also, a Enchanting mod helps alot.
heres the skills NEEDED.

Disrupting Stab. If this attack hits, it interrupts target foe's action. If that action was a Spell, it is disabled for 3...9 seconds.

Healing Breeze. For 10 seconds, target ally gains health regeneration of 3-8.

Foxs Fangs. Must follow a lead attack. Fox Fangs cannot be "blocked" or "evaded" and strikes for +10...+18 damage if it hits

Death Blossom. Must follow an off-hand attack. If it hits, Death Blossom strikes target foe for +15...+35 damage and all adjacent foes take 15...35 damage.

Balthazars Spirit. While you maintain this "Enchantment", target ally gains adrenaline and Energy after taking damage. (The amount of adrenaline gained increases depending on your rank in Smiting Prayers.)

Protective Spirit. For 5-19 seconds, target ally cannot lose more than 10% max health due to damage from a single attack or spell.

Mending. While you maintain this "Enchantment", target ally gains health regeneration of +1-3.

Sharpen Daggers. For 10...30 seconds, all of your critical hits cause bleeding for 5...13 seconds.

Yo might wonder why i use D.stab if it only disables spells, well, I can use D.stab WHEN EVER I WANT. its a lead attack.

the procces of starting is simple, cast mending, and Balth. spirit.
Before going into a battle, cast Prot. Spirit.

While in a battle, energy shouldnt be a problem, but always watch it just in case.

Sadly, i dont have any pictures on the PC that in useing right now, but, ill try to get them in as soon as possible.

I have consistently been able to kill Jade Knights, eles, mesmers, and also, Fah Ma (Mah Fa or w/e) marskman, healers, assasins. and can also be poisoned and continue fighting.

Now for the A. Points:

9 healing
9 prot.
16 dagger.
rest in critical.

Runes:
all sup!
NEEDED.

and no..this build as long as you watch your energy ISNT a problem.
energy is easily built back up with balth spirit and the zelouse dagger tangs.
anyway..hope u like it...i do

Heres a pic i found..i died earlier when i got in the middle of som kirin, wondered if i could solo them...i couldnt

DAS Achilles · Jan 11, 2007, 04:12 PM // 16:12
