A 85 necro CAN do it!
BUT with 2 exceptions.

#1, I had to leave a Sapphire and this Diamond dijinn alive because of lack of energy (To get SS, IP and PS over and over)

#2, Instead of blessed sig, do orion of healing. As with everyone else, burning got to me, and in fact ... this kormab kill was with 13hp lol.
Crazy funny they dont even put a dent in you when you have 3 regen and only losing 1 hp per hit .. LOL

Orion @ 9 healing prayers is 53HP, great for a quick heal if you're close to dying @ 85HP.

This was the first successful run. The others I didnt put HB up quick enough.

Missmelady, where do you farm the djins
i farm in reslendent Makuun (or w/e) with my 130 hp dervish.... and can only get bout 5-10 djins every time

and also whats the ratio for essences to salvage into rubies/ sapphires?
ive salvaged about 20 and only gotten dust

priapism18 · Nov 30, 2006, 06:03 AM // 06:03

I can do everything else but i can't kill the dervish boss to save my life! Can somebody throw me a bone?

r3dsk4r3 · Nov 30, 2006, 06:49 AM // 06:49

Missmelady, where exactly are you farming? You're saying that you're getting ~50 essences per run, which equates to a very probable 150 djinn killed. Its not Resplendent Makuun or Ahdashim, unless i have some sort of quest active thats reducing the number of djinn. I'm not saying that you're BS though, stanger things have happened.

With regards to the Ranger Duo, I'm pretty sure it will work so long as the groups aren't so large to cause scatter. This would probably be a lot faster than SS. I tested it tonight on some minotaurs and the larger groups still scatter to heal, but smaller <=3 groups will hold aggro.

Edit:
I just tested it with Margrid (hero) and it worked nicely, but it doesn't damage the paragon djinns in Adashim. I imagine that additional skills could be used to deal with the remaining paragon djinn, but its late already.

maienGerl · Nov 30, 2006, 10:29 AM // 10:29

I'm unsure as of what the hype on SS is, given Spoil Victor does about tripple damage

Imo, I run through Dasha with Garoth's build, hb/ps/spoilvictor/vt/eb/bs/ws/mending

works like a charm, unless I get morale boost, where I usually just die once, to get rid of it..

Hi

this build seems pretty sweet, but i turned my 55hp Monk into a regular Bonder some time ago.

Is there a Warrior build for Djinn Farming? Ive had a look around the warrior forum but cant see anything.

Thank you

I farm dasha vestibule. There are 18 djinn(counting ethers at the start, then their are 2 groups of 6 on the way to the first boss. First boss area(paragon boss) usually has 6+6+7 or 8 so about 19, then heading to the dervish boss their are a varying amount of groups of 3-5 djinn that pop up. At the dervish boss their are about 30+ djinn in the same general area. With about 10-15 ethers. Clearing the entire zone of all djinn their are proabably about 80-90 djinn. Plus i am killing more then just the djinn with ths build in dasha vestibule. You can go to the ranger boss and kill him killing large mobs along the way of very annoying earth eles and rangers. Warning With this, STAY AWAY FROM THE IBOGA's. They are very nasty to you. I am currently working on a build that will be able to kill the mesmer boss in the area as well as the other bosses. Like i said run takes me anywhere from 1 hour to an hour and a half depending on the ehter spawns at bosses. Can easily be run at 60dp also. Just bring armor without sup runes. I actually have a set with sup, a set with major, and aset with minor in one of my bags. Only Problem with dasha vestibule is that someone that got magrid instead of master of the whispers has to get you in intill you beat the game and unlock the heros in the end game zone. Good luck and Thank you for your time. Remember pm me in game.

Ok. Thats about what I'm seeing as far as numbers, i must have bad farm code though because i only got 14 essences on the last run, and 1 of three greens. The drops were becoming reminiscent of elona reach... 1 gold (junk), 1 purp, and a couple blues.

On a positive note, the essences sold for 1k each in about 5 minutes.

As far as the dp goes, i had between 0 and 60% the whole time, but 2 sets of armor and 5 offhands makes getting the hp right easy.

I R Exiled · Dec 02, 2006, 04:33 AM // 04:33

So, MissMeLady, what do you do about the Ethers? And you do this in the part with Margrid?

First Healer Monk · Dec 03, 2006, 09:35 AM // 09:35

I still don't get how to farm with SoA... It don't regenerate your health and drops the damage on you only a little, as far as I saw. You also cannot keep it up with BA at 30% (12 DF) and a 20% mod, because you have it 9 seconds on you, and the recharge is 10.

I've done this build with Healing Breeze, though I didn't tried the bosses because of the 3 Roaring Ethers there (how can anyone kill these 3?) and I had to leave 2 Diamond Djinns alive because of the health they gaint. Furthermore... The very best thing I got was 2 loads if Glittering Dust

.

Is there something I could do diffrent? I used PS, HB, SS, BS, WS, BS, EB and Mending, with 55hp.

You need to have a head piece with Divine Favor. You switch to the head piece when casting Blessed Aura then switch later back to your orginal head piece. I was almost able to kill Roaring Ethers with my 55 necro. If (yes they can) 55monk can kill them so can 55necro to. My build rocks dead steady.

First Healer Monk · Dec 03, 2006, 11:31 AM // 11:31

I think you misunderstood me, King_Robin. I can handle 1 Roaring Ether, though not 3. But maybe I can try do such a headgear switch, even if it helps only 1 rank... But then, still, it seems unclear to me how to take 'm with 3. I now saw the movie, and I think I can work with SoA+HB, but even then I'm wondering how to manage a build with SoA, PS and no HB. (except when you're not burning, of course)

king_robin · Dec 03, 2006, 03:42 PM // 15:42

Ohh well sry for that ..... But this kind of farm you can't get SO much Ruby or Sapphire.... I only get dust....

First Healer Monk · Dec 03, 2006, 03:49 PM // 15:49

No problem. I'm now using a better build from the video, and I can tank more at once, and in that way killing more. I'm not yet been able to kill a boss, because I mostly lag at that moment.
But the drops are not good. I've got 3 loads of dust now, 1 rune (minor strength) and 1 gold bow (14-28 :S) with all perfect though useless stats.
Maybe I'll get more once this bosses are defeated.

And then there's the AoE problems... My Ruby Djinns are running away from me when they got too much dmg, they recharge, and attack again. I can't get them killed when there are 4 left, so I lure some bigger groups then... which mainly results in pretty fun farming, but low drops.

Guildmaster Cain · Dec 04, 2006, 10:41 AM // 10:41

Hmm so far I got 3 Silver Dyes in a row, a bunch of golds (drops and from chests), and about 50 essences.
I superior salvaged them all, all turned into 1 Piles of Glittering Dust. I also salvaged a Jeweled Daggers and it turned into my one and only Sapphire.

Doesnt seem to work for me

(((

Any idea on the salvage rate of essences?

Priceykins · Dec 04, 2006, 12:56 PM // 12:56

far as i can tell, it is very, very very low rate of change from essences to gems.

Though, by adding a measure for measure inscription to a pair or ruby or jeweled daggers, you are more likely to get a gem from them.

platinumfoil · Dec 04, 2006, 01:50 PM // 13:50

I've been farming in Dasha 4 a while as well on a 55 monk
(Spoiled Victor, Wallows Bite, Plague Touch)

but i get my gems out of Geodes and Jewel Daggers
didnt get anything off a Djinn Essence yet
Beetles ftw

First Healer Monk · Dec 04, 2006, 04:00 PM // 16:00

I'll try to salvage these Jeweled things too, but I thought it would be the same as a Amber Longbow or so in The Echovald Forest, in Kanta. Though, now I'm hitting myself because I didn't knew a Measure for Measure inscription would work on any item, so I salvaged 3 by now...

Well, I like the damage I deal there, so I'll keep on trying for a while... But what's that about beetles?

Priceykins · Dec 04, 2006, 05:27 PM // 17:27

the rain bettle, and other variants, that are like little rolling balls, and look like bettles when they unfold drop geodes, which can salvage into gems

First Healer Monk · Dec 04, 2006, 06:26 PM // 18:26

Last thing about beetles, because it's off topic: is there a thread about farming them? I found nothing with the search, but for in case of...
