So,

Stickperson can solo FoW wanna know how.

Once a-friekin-gain Haha

Terratank Soloing FoW
Sorry, this is not a solo of the WHOLE FOW… This can only solo 3-4 areas of FoW.
The main target of the build is The Skeleton Army though it can also solo The Beach, some of The Shadow Army, and all of The Burning Forest except for the abyssal groups at the end (unless you have the single kill/abyssal build loaded) [NM only]

The fact is that WoH makes the Shadow Army pretty hard to farm, this build can almost tackle the monks and their WoH but it is pretty harsh and time consuming. You’re pretty much just waiting for the monks to be interrupted at the perfect time if you try to farm them so it gets tedious. (Especially for the multiple monk groups) On top of that, the warriors do very little damage, but without health regen pulling too many warriors means your death.

Solution? Same crappy move people decided to use when they couldn’t solo the blades.
Run…or in two of our builds…walk past them.
I hate myself for doing it this way, but oh well….

Running Build:
OgNEgVyay0I91GAjcWZ9rWKkHA

This build is pretty much useless in my eyes. It will get you to the skeleton army faster, but it kills them slower. Because armor of earth is only 12% decrease, Flame Djinn’s will still break aggro and run past mobs (except abyssals) quite easily. It kills everything but monks at a normal speed which means if you want to take it to the beach it’s great. You might want to change armor of earth for Kinetic Armor the only hard part is that, with the long recharge it might be hard to remain conscious of kinetic and make sure your other enchantment skills keep it reapplied indefinitely.

AoE Fast Build:
OgNEgVyay0I91GAjcmr4raKkHA

This build is the fastest of the three, it can kill whole groups before MS has ended. This is great for players who aren’t skeptic about whether loot is skaled by how fast monsters are killed. I’d say this is the easiest build of the three and should be used by beginners. Just use aftershock and your enchantments to keep up kinetic indefinitely and you will be fin.

Single kill/abyssal build:
OgNDgVyMNSftBPkVo6+qlC5B

This build works just as good as the AoE Fast Build, but it is meant for players who do believe that loot is skaled by how fast enemies drop. Stone Daggers keeps up kinetic even better than aftershock did in the AoE build so you will never worry about that. This actually might kill Skeletal bonds easier than the AoE build because they don’t run from you as much.

Equipment

Equipment is standard terratank armor.
geomancer's insignia of course

wepaon is anything with 20% enchantment i like to use my trusty galigord's staff
anything will work though, preferably some HSR on earth or fire

So we start PROCEDURE:

The Beginning/Walk:

We start by putting up balthazar’s spirit and all of our other enchantments before we pull. Then we pull the group to our right. (haha jk you’re not 5 year olds I hope)
Just make sure to maintain enchantments, and use skills accordingly, you will be fine. The warrior will do a little bit of damage but you will be fine, its just one. (if you can kill it cool if not oh well)

Now you want to hug the wall to the right of rastigan and get just out of aggro range of the group of 2 warriors and a monk on the hill. Cast stoneflesh and kinetic (or stoneflesh, amor of earth, and flame djinn’s) and start the walk. Follow the screen shots, I find it is the easiest way through the shadow army.

Sorry I can’t just make a map, too much effort is required.
The area I have circled on the mini map is a spawn of a nightmare, he will make some patrols come after you, you wont do you harm…
At the end of the run, where I am waiting and drew a line, you want to wait for that group to clear you to hug the wall and walk past, it’s easiest. I’ve found that if you stand moderately close to one of them while they are spreading far out and you cast an enchantment on yourself they regroup very nicely n let you pass.

Fight the next group of meser and 2 eles. You will now be at the battlefield have fun.

Stay away from impalers, they send you home to ToA. I have screenshotted the size of most groups that you can fight without spawning impalers and I hace screenshotted the first spawn of impalers. Be wary if the group consists of different classes than what I have posted its different be ready to as soon as you pull.

After farming all those skeles I’m sure your inventory is full but if you want to go on to the burning forest it’s easy, just keep up enchants and kill hydras first. (they still deal dmg)
Just like shadow monks, you are waiting for your MS to interrupt the right skills of the smoke walkers. If you have 12-13 fire magic this shouldn’t be very hard. (golden eggs rock)
Overall I found the forest wasn’t so profitable, but it was fun and refreshing.

If you want to farm the beach just hide behind the large rock you see on our walk past the shadow army. Once patrols out of the route to the beach are out of your way, walk in. You want to kill driftwoods first because they still do some damage. It is probably smart to walk pretty far down the hill, past the dryder in order to make sure the patrols don’t come back to you. Keep up enchants and you’ll be fine. (no need for kinetic if only skales and dryders are around)

Have fun, enjoy your shards/gold drops.

Feel free to ask any questions.
Sorry I didn’t make a full map of the impaler spawns.

It's actually decent, and should help some people; I don't understand too well the previous pseudo negative comments.

I for one think its a nice guide, its written in a way that i find good to read (my english might suck a bit) and I always like it when people put screens in a guide to show it works or how things should be done. Nice guide imo

English Warrior · Apr 05, 2008, 09:55 AM // 09:55

Can you post the equipment please.

Cealin of Aladar · Apr 05, 2008, 04:56 PM // 16:56

Thanks lots! Super build

.

One small question, my friend doesn't have nightfall, you think there is a replacement skill for Stoneflesh Aura? I looked around, but it doesn't seem so.

Cheers,
Cealin

Resident · Apr 06, 2008, 03:46 AM // 03:46

Unforunately you can't replace it cause you don't have stone striker either... (I was thinking about stone striker and mantra of earth...)
