Curse

Template code: OQMT0U5WVSpYHE8hvwfYkAAAAAA

Tactics: 10
Healing Prayers: 10
Axe Mastery: 15 (+1 head, +3 superior rune of axe mastery)

Skills:

Cyclone Axe
Whirlwind Attack (Sunspear Title Track)
Triple Chop (Elite)
Bonetti's Defense
Vigorous Spirit
Live Vicariously
(---free slot---)
(---free slot---)

This build is very simple to use, start by casting "Live Vicariously" and then once you've aggro'd all the trolls, cast "Vigorous Spirit". This combination will give you +27hp for each enemy you strike.

When you attack, use the following combo: "Cyclone Axe", "Whirlwind Attack", "Triple Chop", "Whirlwind Attack", "Cyclone Axe", Whirlwind Attack". Once you've done that you should have about 2 or 3 energy left, but lots of adrenaline, so now you cast "Bonetti's Defense" and let your energy build.
Once your energy bar is full, cast "Vigorous Spirit" again and then your attack combo.

Before long, troll's will be dropping like flies and you'll be making some easy cash.

(Tips)

It's also good to bring along a couple of Lockpicks or Shiverpeak Key's, there is often a chest inside the cave or even just right outside the north entrance.
Also if you're feeling ambitious, this build has no problem defeating the warrior boss and although the ranger boss is defeatable, it will take a considerable amount of time and patience. One thing you may want to try if you decide to fight the ranger boss is fill one of the empty slots with the skill "Wild Blow" as it will end the ranger's elite stance "Escape" which if not removed would allow him to block 75% of your attacks. (Thank you Damocles for that suggestion.)
If you decide to use this build to do power leveling, I can almost guarantee you'll want to bring a "Resurrection Signet" as many of your clients tend to be kind of stupid and will aggro a group of unwanted enemies and get slaughtered FTL...

Good luck and have fun, I hope you enjoy this build... Any feedback or suggestions will be appreciated.

One thing you may want to try if you decide to fight the ranger boss is fill one of the empty slots with an interrupt such as "Disrupting Chop" or "Distracting Blow" and use it to interrupt his elite skill "Escape" as it will allow him to block 75% of your attacks.

Since Escape is a stance I guess you meant Wild Blow to remove the stance?

sarpanitu · Nov 09, 2007, 08:43 PM // 20:43

Yeah I kind of realized after I posted that you can't interrupt, thank you for pointing that out... I'll have to try wild blow, thanks again

i use a different version:

cyclone axe
bonettis defence
dolyak sig
-free-
glads defence
vig spirit
live vic
mending or -free-

it works but my question is:

are trolls still worth farming?

That build is the exact build that I based this one on... I found that build to be much to slow and much to unrelyable, with my build I literally deal more than 10 times the damage and maintain even more health... win, win right? unfortunately I must admit that the drops you recieve from the trolls are crap... the only real use for this is power leveling. Luckily there is still money in that.

People ran this stuff in early 2005

N E D M · Nov 10, 2007, 07:24 AM // 07:24

swap out two of your spin moves for executioners chop and dismember/evicerate.
you will kill the trolls one by one, thus getting more drops.
also if you sub in disrupting chop and wild blow, you can take both bosses as well, tho the ranger takes patience

sry dude, but ppl have been doing this for more than 2 years

Exhonour · Nov 10, 2007, 02:07 PM // 14:07

so i guess there is no point in farming them for money/items?

my friend got a fellblade before, i got a war axe and sum shield. all gold

TarjaTeOrteyn · Nov 10, 2007, 08:49 PM // 20:49

unfortunately unless theyre low req perfect theyre practically worthless in today's market...with inscribable weps now people just dont want tyrian weps as much anymore aside from items they can't get in nf or eton

not to flame but imo if u want to pwrlvl at troll in NM ur better off useing a VwK, 55, SS, ele, or any of the multitude of troll farming builds people have dreamed up in the past 2 years it's been done

Exhonour · Nov 11, 2007, 04:20 PM // 16:20

what can i farm with w/mo then?

mikeydj99 · Nov 20, 2007, 06:35 PM // 18:35

I remember back in the day i used to do this. Then they nerfed the drops. What a shame.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Nov 20, 2007, 07:33 PM // 19:33

trolls are so nerfed it's not even funny. Used to be 1k per run plus, but now adays you are lucky to 300g a run.

majiger · Nov 20, 2007, 10:25 PM // 22:25
