Using my Mo/Me and Arcane Echo, when the 10% kicks in on SoJ, its ready to be cast again when the Echo'd SoJ ends. That’s over a minute of continuous SoJ at 53 damage per hit. The FFS is the way to go for just about any farming.

I'm sure someone has already figured out the exact amount of time, but I'm pretty sure that it's over 70 seconds.

Even when the 10% doesn't kick in it's like 2-3 seconds between. Let's assume you get a conservative 18 seconds on the first SoJ before you use your echoed one so 18 + 21 * 1.2 = 43.2 seconds game rounded to 43. So you get 43 seconds of SoJ and a 2 second down time + 1 second cast time for the 3rd if you need it. Or you could also wait for another 5-7 seconds and use echo as it will have recharged shortly after and you can get another 43 seconds+ of SoJ. Outside of killing aatxes though I dont really know why you'd need more than 43-44 seconds of SoJ anyways.

I sold my 19% FFS for 3 ecto when it was 10k/ecto

Do you need to have 3 in axe mastery to get the full 10% on skill recharge or does it not matter at all.

I have heard talk that they have nerfed the colloector completly, if this is true or not leave it here PLEASE!

last night i looked at the gameamp map for this collector, and it said he takes enchanted lodestones.....
do not fall for this evil trick. i deleted my pvp character, and made someone to go to presearing, just to get them, when i ran to the collector with my ranger, and i noticed he takes scorched lodestones.... i was furious, it was okay though since theres about a million elementals around. just remember...
its scorched lodestones that he takes, NOT enchanted

liuu · Feb 11, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

I got mine yesterday so it's not true.

L I G H T · Feb 11, 2006, 06:54 PM // 18:54

Alright thank you, I didn't want to waste 20ectos on something that is still reachiable.

The collector guy was probably, Out to lunch or taking a shit somewhere.
You just have to keep zoneing in and out. Until his finish and ready to sell
again.
Quik question would a 18% enchantment grip work okay on the Flame Spitter.
Or should I wait and buy a 19%. Cause a 20% cost alittle too much.
And I got the 18% waiting for me in my storage.

Ok, this is NOT true, this item has NOT been removed from the game (the 15% has been removed all together there is NO 15% item any more the 10% is the ONLY one which exists all the items where changed).

The collector isn't always there, I had to do about 3 runs to find him, but he isn't that far... You also don't have to have favor to get the collector to spawn either.

Beat_Go_Stick · Feb 17, 2006, 05:45 PM // 17:45

Naw, there are just multiple area spawn patterns for that region and the collector is only in one of them. If you run there and he is gone, just rezone and go again, collecting more lodestones along the way

I cannot stress the beauty of this item with an enchant mod on it. nothing like those times when the 10% kicks in and you basically get to keep SoJ up for 50 seconds or so

Big_Iron · Feb 17, 2006, 05:56 PM // 17:56

Yeah, he's defintely still there. I was just there earlier this week and picked up 6 FFS's. But he's not always in the same spot. Like Beat_Go_Stick said, rezone and go back. He'll be there.

not true link.. I have the 15% one.. maybe the only one in game too have'nt met anyone else with one.. been using it to solo monk even while protective bond was still working- it was nerfed to 10% after that.. before the hod became popular too- I can show you it in game if you want =] very few people knew about it before the nerf for whatever reason- I just did some research while making my own builds and got the thing way back.. I kept my builds on the down back then too- seemed like everyone was hod crazy at the time then that even got removed
