I looked in guildwiki that you can farm kepthers with VwK build rit/me solo. I just can't do it, they keep interpting me and kepthers heals himself. How do you do it??

P.S. i searched it in the button and all i saw was "WTB KEPTHERS" WTS KEPTHERS REEFUGE" etc...

What about Solo Kephkets Refuge? of something

Skuld · Jan 07, 2007, 11:24 PM // 23:24

Are you using visages to drain all energy so they can't interrupt?

What is a "kepthers" refuge?

Ecksor · Jan 08, 2007, 04:48 AM // 04:48

Clean out all the patrols walking around the main ring-group first. Then, MoR, Channeling, Arcane Echo and quickly walk up to main group and dance about a bit to aggro the popups. When the green scarabs come out of the ground torwards you, cast VwK, Visages, Vengeful, then Vwk again until the green scarabs die. If there are a few left but you used Vwk 3 times already, just pull back a bit until Vwk recharges and tank until the green ones die. The red scarabs will die faster because they are ranged and not limited to 3 at a time attacking you. Remember, as long as there are green ones attacking you, you need to use Visage as often as possible.

When you're left with the queen, drop back down to Vengeful Weapon and VwK. Dont use echo, or visages, or MoR. It takes about 1 or 2 minutes to kill the queen this way. Just use Vwk+Vengeful weapon. At 25% HP, the queen will use divine intervention to bump up her HP a bit, but you'll wear it down eventually - the trick is attrition.

If you can get near the queen, use channeling for this last stage too - it will help recover +1 energy each time you cast vengeful weapon or vwk. The trick is to pull the queen torwards you earlier when handling the green scarabs.

Each run should take about 10mins, you can sell about 6 staffs a day like this.

Hope this helps, I'm often in Augury doing this run, so ping out if you need help.

According to the vids of this, you can do this with every mob still at their spot around Kephket, so you should be able to fight 100% of them at once (unless like 6-7 of them happen to vamp touch you at the same time).

Problem with the patrols is that they come to the main ring every so often, usually when all 3 Vwks have been used, so you're defenceless. It takes a bit of practise, but usually you can avoid a few patrols. Also, clearing them out is good hygiene - dont want a rockshot, griffon or minotaur to suddenly appear and 'steal' your drop from the queen!

to farm kephket with my rit i use, (btw it is probable that many of you already now know this, so dont criticise me for posting this)

=skills=
-vengeful was khanhei [elite]
-vengeful weapon
-soothing memories ( used to gain energy bonus from the spell itself [while holding an item+form channeling] and incase you get hit by traps when your picking up loot)
-sympathetic visage
-ancestors visage
-channeling
-physical resistance
-arcane echo

=attributes=
-16 restoration
-8 inspiration
-8 illusion

=usage=
you basically gotta kill evrything upto kephkets mob and that includes the patrols. the patrols can really catch you off guard. to kill the mob, start off by using the following skills in listed order:: physical resistance-->channeling-->either one of the visages-->arcane echo-->vengeful was khanhei,(since you precast many of the skills, you will have a much less chance of being interupted) then spam the vengeful weapon and vengeful was khanhei. the thing is, kephket heals some of the mob, so once your 3rd vengeful was khanhei is about to wear out, run away. the best way to succesfully kill the mob is perform a series of "hit and run attacks". for each "hit and run attack" , just use the same skill chain to kill.Kephket can take a while to kill..but jsut spam vengeful was khanei and vengeful weapon..and she will die soon enough. if you do that it should be pretty easy, and i should know..i do this farm run alot and i finish it successfully. Also, if you need a demonstration my ign is x evil intent x

note: it may also be alot easier with mantra of resolve...but you still need to use the hit and run attacks.
