Curse

Ken34 · Nov 23, 2007, 06:23 AM // 06:23

I use to farm outside of bergen hot springs and cursed lands, but after vanquishing cursed lands a couple times, it eventually became boring, plus i have no more need for sephis axes and dead bows. so now ive moved onto nightfall, and i farm outside sunspear great hall, I make atleast 3k+ in just money and merched whites every run. as for good items, so far ive seen fiery/icy blade axes, briar blades, salient swords, steel daggers, hornbows, bramble bows, bramble swords, crystal wands, sharktooth shields, etc.

The Build

for weapons, I use a Fiery Flame Spitter of Enchanting, fiery flame spitter is an axe with HSR 10%, and of course the offhand is a -50 cesta.
For the boss(Hassin Softskin), after surrounding enemies are dead, u may want to switch out to a high energy staff, he takes a while to drop.

The Run

Mainly I try to avoid the stormseeds, not only because they are a pain to face with thier knockdown, but thier drops are outright awful, so i just skip them all together, if you follow this route exactly, you wont run into any mandragors, as they have leeching, and you will die.

On average, the run takes me 40 minutes, thats because i take my sweet old time, salvaging almost every white that drops and come away with alot of iron ignots, wood planks, tanned hide squares, glittering dust, etc. so Im sure most people can do it faster.

The Drops
from a couple good runs ive had recently.

any questions or ways to improve build/run lemme know.

Hmm, the drops don't look to good (steel daggers and bramble swords) But than again there are the icy/fiery blade axes...heh, I'll probably end up trying this on my 55 necro and failing.

nice find!

my 55 nec will have a field day with this.

Thanks. I'm trying to find the best relatively short run on my 55 necro or 55 monk. I tried minister cho's suggested here but only get about 1.5k or so. Will try this Thanks! Mo/D outside astrailium gets boring so rather just get steady money. and I literally get 0 ectos in UW as duo <_<

I'll try it, but drops don't look too amazing... seems lengthy and not terribly productive money-wise.

Stormseeds are pretty easy to kill, I found. You just need to time your PS/Hb/HH right. Drops from them suck, though.

Once I have some time, I'll try a full run like you posted. I only did a short (about 20 enemies or so) run to see if I could do it.

Thanks

Goodbye great farm!

Here are a few helpful hints....

Grab the bounty as you're waiting for energy to regen... this is also a GREAT SS point farm.

There's a easy group of ranger bugs SSE of the Hall that fall pretty easy (your path misses 'em

)

Get back on your path and kill bugs only, skirting the ELE boss and get to the Rez shrine near the water south of Kamadan; grab the Plant hunt.

Follow the coast to the Para Boss and take him out, theres a popup behind him so be careful.

Backtrack north to the path straight to Champion's... watch the plants. They're doable, but not really worth it. Kill the Bugs and Scale in the water.

STAY AWAY FROM THE PLANT MOB OUTSIDE OF CHAMPIONS!!!!!

Follow the river and take out the scale. Follow the river and get the scale hunt from the Rez shrine about half way thru....

Cause general hate and discontent on all creatures but Mangridors throuought the map! There will be Corsairs, Bugs, Plants, and *usually* 2 chests so bring keys!

You can take out the Ele boss, but it takes a while (4-5 SoJ casts) adn the Para boss falls after 2-3 SoJ casts.

My personal record is 189 enemies vanquished in about an hour and 15 minutes

The only problem I had with farming in this area is the space between the mobs, especially west of the Great Hall. Running from bug to bug seemed to be too long with nothing happening, and the thick batches of termites that are close together don't seem to drop loot very well.

Ran this a few times during the Halloween event, because a number of the collector items that the horsemen wanted could be farmed here. If you farm here you might want to be saving those for the next event, provided that you have that kind of patience.
