I recently captured VWK and i decided to put it through its paces
first trying some ice imps using the "long bow aggro range trick" that seemed to work well but wasn't easy to do.
then i tried river side province with this build

W/Rt

12 restoration
10 tactics (+4 not really needed)
8 strength

1:Vengeful Was Khanhei {E} (VWK)
2:dolyak signet
3:healing signet

4-8 optional stances or weapon spells

i used:
defensive stance
shield stance
bonnetis/sprint
protecters defence

Nothing special at all, basic stratergy was cast VWK wait 10 seconds use a stance for 10 seconds then cast VWK again. aslong as your taking less than 29 dmg per hit you will be fine.
as for the river side province i started the mission then went straight for the first tower rounded up all the white mantle then... VWK-Stance-VWK-stance it took a while about 7-8 >_< VWKs i think but it got them all including the abbots.
then i went to the other towers did and the same thing. i then went for the staff and proceded to take it to the bridge at the bridge i took out all the white mantle with out bosses among them and went across the bridge.

oh and as a note white mantle melee fighters seem too not flee unlike trolls and all the other good melee farms.

the good thing with those stances is all of them can be ended easily so that VWK takes full effect Shield stance doesnt work when you hold items becasue you no longer have a shield and the rest are easy to see how.

as for the province run it gives ALOT of loot not really worth that much but if you wanna farm iron/steel/hide this is probably a very easy way to do it. i got 2 gold armours and a purple one while i was at it.

CAUTION :O this is severly slow going compared to killing with soj or w/e but its uber easy almost fool proof. The only hard bit is getting past the undead with out a long battle the degen and stuff hurts. how to beat that... bring Resilient Weapon or vengefull weapon for bosses i guess.

well hope some one finds a use for this as i said its very basic and please sugest improvements

*Note* the last two towers before the bridge seem to be affected by the "melee ai running away to heal" update but the other two towers don't so if your looking to solo the last bit it will take a long time, consider getting a wand i hear if your hit them when they run and stop to heal they come back.

nb hah i got the right forum this time XD

im going to keep trying the whole W/Rt thing and see if i can make the list of solo builds in the sticky under W/Rt any bigger than just 2 >_<

How were the drops in terms of minor runes?

That answer your question?

why ask about minor ones when you get major and sup ones.

Because most minor runes are worth more than their major counterparts are.

I was farming here since factions came out with my rt/mes with VWK. I would just gather everything i could and hug each tower with the setup i had which would take about 20 seconds per tower( i was soloing missin + bonus). I haven't tried it with the recent AI update so my build might not work anymore so the extra defense of a warrior might be needed. I think ill have to give it a try later today.

well the ai updates don't seem to of effected the white mantle much they dont run away from this at all.

as for minor runes ill get about 1 per tower probably. Alot of armours drop ALOT!. I made 5 steel alot of iron and a gold armour off 2 towers just before.

oh and as a note 7-8 VWKs to kill a tower was way off its probably more 3-5.

Thanks. I farmed there with a too-slow build a couple of times, and 1 per tower is consistent with my limited experience.

I would be very interested in this build since i tried this with my rit and didnt succeed to farm more than just the first tower.

The second tower with the mesmer is my problem and I am trying to make up a build that will be able to farm this mission effectively.

So, if you don't mind please tell me your build
