Often if you shepherd enemies into a small enclosed space or a chokepoint (like at the corner of stairs), they won't flee, or at most, won't flee nearly as much as they would out in the open.

For mountain trolls, after entering the cave, there's a small room to the east (in the main troll room, not in the back where the bosses are). I would lure trolls in there when the nerf was active in normal mode.

The easiest way is to continually wand/attack one enemy until it dies, you can however find a small corner or something such as a rock the enemies will catch on and body block them in that area.

Dead Sword Farming in Hard Mode = awesome drops. You get a dead sword every 2 runs at least. I get about 2 golds per run consistently, even if they aren't dead swords.

What are you using to do the dead sword farm?

I still use this build, it works well....

I love hard mode

And this was in one run after many previous attempts pre hard mode.

I've just tried farming some of Old Ascalon (Namely the Hulking Stone Elementals) with a 55 necro. Killed most of the in the area (around 40) and the two bosses and after 5 or so runs I've found 4 golds and a FoW passage scroll. I'll probably move to bigger places though

Also I've discovered that drying with a 4% morale bonus will drop you to 2 hp. At 2 hp and Prot spirit, you take no damage but your character will be moaning in pain at every single hit

Whoah! Thats pretty sick. I see the skills. What are your attributes?

Keithark · Apr 24, 2007, 03:18 PM // 15:18

and where is this? I have farmed in hardmode and get nowhere near that amount of drops..is that from a whole area?

Puran Lighthart · Apr 24, 2007, 04:52 PM // 16:52

Thats gotta be the dead sword farm, its still easy in hard mode (as the spirits are still only lvl 20). Plus with the anti-farm code gone you can just keep rezoning and killing them over and over. Its usually good for one gold per zone, but three is definatly a possibility. If you want my opinion, he rezoned a few times before he took that shot (just a guess though)

zorbi · Apr 24, 2007, 05:06 PM // 17:06

You're wrong. The antifarm code is removed from normal mode not from hard mode.

Miscellaneous
The price of keys that previously cost 1,500 gold have been reduced to 1,250 gold.
The first-person camera has been adjusted to allow players to more easily play in first-person mode. Scrolling with the mouse wheel still allows you to leave first-person mode, however, you must now scroll a little more than before.
Loot now scales according to party size.
Repeated map entry no longer reduces loot.
Made preparations for the Double Sunspear Points and Double Lightbringer Points weekend event.
Removed the Wintersday 2006 Championship Trophy.
Added the Celestial Tournament 2007 Championship Trophy.
The Xunlai Tournament House NPC has returned to the Great Temple of Balthazar, Lion’s Arch, Kaineng Center, and Kamadan to reward players with their Celestial Tournament prizes

No, your wrong, the anti-farm code has been removed from both modes. The AoE AI has only been removed from Normal mode, maybe your just confused.

You probably already completed the quest...

Destro Maniak · Apr 24, 2007, 07:31 PM // 19:31

I tried that dead sword quest but I died. I only killed 1-2 spirit. And how can you loot so many items as I didnt got that many enemy at once.

BTW where is best gold/hour for 55hp as merching isnt good anymore I can earn from making people id golds

Puran Lighthart · Apr 24, 2007, 07:39 PM // 19:39

with the dead sword farming, after you kill that first group, two groups run in. Once you kill one of those groups, another runs in for a total of five groups of slave spirits each zone.

Nope! No BS, that was one run. I was pretty excited since i had been doing the run for a long time before Hard Mode was release and had not even seen 1 dead sword.

Rezoning will "delete" any drops so that was from one run

no kidding....really?
To prove a point to a guild member (another story entirely) i had taken a similar photo...but i rezoned several times and picked up the loot each time (at least the good loot). When i was done, i dropped it all and took the screen shot.

Not to say i don't belive you bloodhound....grats on the luck!
