Curse

Hey guys, I just got my Shield of Judgement and tried to farm Granite Citadel mobs just like those gazillion bots running out there but I got owned 50% of the time.

Anyone had tried to farm this zone? If you have a good build for it please post it here.

My new 55 Monk is not good enough for it or maybe my skill is not good enough for it hehe. Degen sucks for my monk but those botters seems successful.

I got Soj, Healing Breeze, Prot Spirit, Balth Spirit, Blessed Aura, Essence Bond, Mantra of Resolve and Mending.

replace blessed and put in watchful spirit, and put in blessed sig for essence.

Just tried it...die and use a 13hp build (will need to switch off-hands about 1/2 way through due to xp getting rid of your dp)

PS, HB, Arcane Echo, SoJ, Blessed Sig, MoR, Balth Spririt, Mending

Drops blow btw...

I tried it maybe around 20 times. I am not that successful but I didi manage to get Green Dwarven Armors.

Those bots are all Mo/W btw.
I presume there must be a reason for this.

really bad idea to start here.
Imp farming with a 55 is hard and shouldn't be your first target.
Want halfway decent drops and good farming?
Camp rankor-> snake
Farm the blessed griphons outside. Save the wings. People buy them at anywhere from 100-500g a piece. You can also get excellent shields for your heroes with them.

Don't believe it please, only green weapons are in GW, not Armors.

RebelHero · Mar 28, 2007, 11:07 AM // 11:07

Sure there are green armors... But they're nightfall only...

I know that, but near the Granite Citadel, I dont remember ever seeing anything like that :-)

Roshi_ikkyu · Mar 28, 2007, 01:59 PM // 13:59

I can kill the mob 90% of the time as a Mo/Ra

r3dsk4r3 · Mar 28, 2007, 02:38 PM // 14:38

They are probably Mo/W simply because they only have proph, which would make them PS/HB rather than PS/SoA (Nightfall).. Unless they are very good bots (unlikely since they hump the tasca's demise sign) they are most likely farming the spawn directly outside. I'm going out on a limb and saying that they have something like....

PS/HB/Bonetti's/SoJ/Blessed Sig/Mending/Balth's/Blessed Aura

Use Bonetti's when SoJ is down to get energy and reduce the damage, and SoJ as damage. I'll test this out some more and see how reliable it is. If it's some really weird build you're not going to get it out of anyone.

The problem with trying to duplicate a bot farm for human use is that bots generally farm easy, but very poor/boring areas constantly. You are better off finding a harder farm which can get you more money in less time due to your (hopefully) sharper skills.

Edit: I just tried the above build, and it works fine. Its just slow as molasses, and the summit definitely drop junk, but thats what botting is for. I observed the bots, and their runs are pretty lengthy, probably because the gnashers take forever to die. They are also merching a lot, probably everything from the run.

Just going out on a limb here, maybe they have DDF active and are farming the titans? I can't see this happening solo bc of the mesmer titans, but who knows.

EDIT again: Nope, definitely not the titans.

Roshi_ikkyu · Mar 28, 2007, 03:28 PM // 15:28

u want the drop to mostly suck when farming in that area.

Why? the one important thing we are all missing, Stone summit badges.

If the drops suck they revert to the worst drop, which is commonly a collectors item.
Even so most weapons out that way merch for around 50g. So its perfect for a bot.
Plus don't forget bots rarely ID, they just kill- pick up- zone- sell- kill some more. They have no use for blue armour, gold weapons and rare drops.

I am sorry not sure if they are green or gold but when I salvage it, I got a superior rune out of it.

It's not imp. They are dwarves.

It's gold.

Blue = minor
Purple = major
Gold = superior
