Hi fellow farmers!

After having been away for a few months I returned to GW for GW:EN.
As I read some people have been farming glint in NM with the Perma-Obsi-Ele. Now this is aswell possible in HM with a little modification, just look at the picture ;-)

Avatar Exico · Oct 14, 2007, 06:24 PM // 18:24

well it not quiet now. More ppl are going to farm it.

JForce · Oct 14, 2007, 06:26 PM // 18:26

is this possible with a warrior

using bonetti's defense instead of balt. aura?

Avatar Exico · Oct 14, 2007, 06:32 PM // 18:32

there is a War/Rt build for this somewhere in the thread by someone on NM.

Great build for Hardmode, Got 5 golds in my first 2 runs.

It gets my seal for approval (which means nothing to most of you...)

MadHamish · Oct 14, 2007, 07:02 PM // 19:02

Thanks!

The gold drops just decrease over time... as always...

okashii · Oct 14, 2007, 07:04 PM // 19:04

I have been farming here since Hard Mode came to Gwen and its my fav. farm spot ever

one tip : Alkar's Acid works nicely here but it triggers Vengeful weapon multiple times so watch out, plus it has AoE and I prefer taking Destroyers one by one to maximise drops.

Senrath · Oct 14, 2007, 07:11 PM // 19:11

I'm so gonna go do this now.

MadHamish · Oct 14, 2007, 07:20 PM // 19:20

@okashii: Thanks for the tip, i use that for NM, but in HM they seem to use VW more often that's why I use this radiationfield-skill, or what it's called... they die pretty fast in the end. I "soften" one side, then move over to the other start slivering and radiate them afterwards (!). VW won't trigger that often this way.

Also: If someone really enjoys boring/slow-mode just replace radiation-field with healingbreeze (lower energy storage and put 8 points in healing), it's really easy then... and really really slow...

Have fun!

Senrath · Oct 14, 2007, 07:26 PM // 19:26

If you put healing breeze in, why not take out Aura of Restoration instead of Radiation Field?

MadHamish · Oct 14, 2007, 07:39 PM // 19:39

That's why I wrote "boring/slow-mode"... sure you can take out AoR instead, but then it's as difficult as without Healingbreeze... and not boring ;-)

okashii · Oct 14, 2007, 09:12 PM // 21:12

omfg I just found the coolest trick XD farm Destroyers on HM with air of superiority and go "buahahahaha" the skills recharge is very nice <just hit sliver armor again and again> I love this farm spot more and more each day, lets just hope Anet wont nerf it

Tipheret · Oct 14, 2007, 11:58 PM // 23:58

The fact is that after doig some runs in HM, the drop decreases a lot faster than in normal mode. That happens to me at least. After some HM and NM farming sessions i have noticed that, although in HM the loot drop is better, with good goldens, tomes and lockpicks, the destroyer core drop rate (and also the total drop rate) is much higher at NM.
I would like to read other people's experiences with this.

«Ripskin · Oct 15, 2007, 02:14 AM // 02:14

Is there any build for this using a monk?

I don't want to grind my way through the game anymore.

ForgeWhelp · Oct 15, 2007, 01:00 PM // 13:00

The drop rate always starts good and then it ebbs and flows. If you do a run 100 times you will likely have a 'good' run every 15th (made up number) time or something. It looks on the surface like it's simply starts good and then drops off, but really it comes and goes. Do a run 100 times and you'll see it for yourself.

What's your skillbar for one-by-one killing?

MadHamish · Oct 15, 2007, 03:09 PM // 15:09

Somehow degenerating them with the field is not AoE and won't kill all at once (disease spreads, gets cured, infects again, and so on) and of course does not trigger VW.
I know, that rumors say, that degeneration kills your droprate aswell, but I can't confirm that. On top of that, if you only use the field once or twice, it will not kill the mobs. Just softens up them so they are killed with one or five hits from sliver. So here ya go with your single enemy killer ;-)

Cheers!

ForgeWhelp · Oct 15, 2007, 03:48 PM // 15:48

um, no...? Sliver will kill foes as if it's AoE. So the drops reflect that. The one by one approach would litterally kill them one at a time with a break between so that it would not be 15 deaths within a couple of seconds. Much slower but much better drop rate.

EDIT: I put together a simple one-by-one degen build which works okay, I got about 70-80% drop rate.

It's not the best build but it worked. I got sloppy after about 9 minutes on my first run. it's a bit slow and takes about 4-5 conjure nightmares to kill, plus there is the hex removal that gets in the way as well...
