Default Farming XP/skill points!

What? Yes, I want to farm XP. I currently have 1,200,000+ XP and I want alot of skill points and XP. Now why would I want to do that? I just love big numbers!
I know the Mountain Trolls outside Droknar's Forge give alot of XP but I was wondering if there where other places?
And what (rare) scrolls do I need?

Common Insight Scrolls:

Scroll of Adventurer's Insight - The whole party gains +50% XP from combat for 10 minutes.

Scroll of Rampager's Insight - The whole party gains double XP from combat. Rampager's Insight ends if the party fails to kill an enemy for 30 seconds.

Scroll of Hunter's Insight - The whole party gains 175% XP from combat. Hunter's Insight ends if the party fails to kill a boss for 5 minutes.

Rare Insight Scrolls:

Scroll of Hero's Insight - The whole party gains double XP from combat for 10 minutes.

Scroll of Berserker's Insight - The whole party gains triple XP from combat. Berserker's Insight ends if the party fails to kill an enemy for 30 seconds.

Scroll of Slayer's Insight - The whole party gains 250% XP from combat. Slayer's Insight ends if the party fails to kill a boss for 5 minutes



I don't buy any of these scrolls but have used them when the griffons/hydras @ Augury Rock has dropped them. The only ones I haven't used are the ones tied to killing a boss.

[ADDED]
The 30 second ones I tend to use against the Drok trolls and the 10 minute ones for griffons/minotaurs/hydras.

Scroll of Berserker's Insight, this helps alot LOL!
I bought one and went up to the Trolls.
Statistics time:
1 Troll = 504 XP
15 Trolls in that area = 15 x 504 XP = 7560 XP in what, 30 seconds?

*edit*
Is it also possible to use 2 scrolls at a time?
So if you use a scroll that gives you triple XP from combat and another one that doubles it, will that work? Or can you only use 1?

I doubt it'll work like that, but you can try it.

No. Effect from the second scroll replaces the effect from the first scroll. (Only one.)

Well I would say the best places are the places where monks power level people..


1) Trolls
2) Minatours (sp?) (Elona)
3) UW & FoW = Quests alone in FoW give 80K exp... not to mention the exp for killing monsters using scrolls in like the Burning Forst and the spider cave!!

Well I suppose if you do some adventuring and get 3 groups of 4-5 aggro'd then you can get 15, it's not smart to do that...unless you have some godly build (if so please share )

omg wtf are you talking about?

minotours are even easier than trolls and you can easily fight 20 trolls a time..

when u enter mission in elona just try to agro all the ones that are there (about 17 i think oO (never counted..)

but trolls usually give bigger xp..

[E]dit: just use my griffon farming build.. you can take on as many as you want =)

Farming griffons for me is the easiest way to accumulate most exp in shortest time (also gold and items). I have nearly 4mil exp and you dont have to run far to get em time and time again. You also find lots of scrolls from the bosses

Ye but the time you waste running there outbalances in my opinion. You can still herd 20-25 griffons together, but since the recent update Im not so sure..scarabs..I hate em

This is what I use, I know it works on Minotaurs... Pretty sure it will work on Mountain trolls too.

W/E

Tactics 16 (12 + 1 + 3)
Strength 12 (11 + 1)
Sword 4 (for the heck of it)
Earth 5

Glads Defense (e)
Deadly Riposte
Riposte
Bonetti's Defense
Watch Yourself
Healing Sig
Dolyaks Sig
Armor of Earth

I use a Fiery Dragon Sword of Fortitude (ya i know n00b dragon sword, lol)
15-22 fire dmg (req 8)
15%^50%
hp +29

and a Malinon's Shield
armor 16 (req 9 tactics)
hp +45 (while enchanted)
recieved dmg -2 (while enchanted)
It's not really original, and it's not perfect. It works for me though.

Can't remember what they are called but outside of Drok's (south side) in Witman's Folly there is an army of (put name here) that with the right build you can solo farm. The exp there is massive because of the quantity of enemies you can aggro at once. Easily faster then trolls, hydras, griffons and what not. Also to note. I found a superior absorption rune there as well so yes it can be profitable.

Trolls use disrupting chop therefore making me think that this build for trolls does not work.
