I did this run some days ago, but only once. You can kill the skree groups as well, if there is a griffin in the groups walk to the falling stones and position the skree griffin under it; wait and laugh. Then you can kill the other skree for their loot.

In any case, I might just take my Monk to the Desolation before I even try this.... Depends how I feel about trying it. I'm definitely taking my Ritualist to the Desolation... so I might just work things that way: Monk in early stages, Ritualist in later.

3rd run

Suhweet. Thanks for posting

. Btw, the shield was req 12

shadowdeath · May 04, 2007, 11:07 PM // 23:07

this is a general thanks to everyone who tried this, please take note that this is my first guide...... and to soti coto..... i didnt post this to get endless flames.... either try it untill you get a drop and then decide if its good or not... dont instantly flame it without seeing the result for yourself.

again thanks to everyone, if you ever want a duo's partner <about 5X more golds> my ign is

i sell stuff

if i am on my warrior <i am poor>, or my ele <eww ectoplasm> please do not bother me as i am probably farming underworld

If you call a flickering candle "endless flames"... I'd hate to think how you respond to being metaphorically napalmed.
That isn't a threat as I wouldn't do anything like that here (it is the sort of thing I've done before in places with far more lax rules). I'm just pondering... But I do tend to be rather critical, and a little resentful of people who can't take valid criticism without getting upset about it.

In any case... I will try your suggested run myself when I get the chance. I got my Assassin through Gate of Madness today toward that very purpose. I wish you luck in your future farmings.

manitoba1073 · May 05, 2007, 09:09 AM // 09:09

Well ive been doing this since just after HM but i never seen this happen before and thought you guys might like it. all thats on the ground is from just 1 run.

Xiaxhou of Trinity · May 05, 2007, 09:15 AM // 09:15

can i say WOW. going to try this with geotank ele, standard E/Mes with glyph of resto for degen i guess, see if that works. great find, really want that icy and fiery blade axe! no luck from plains of jarin =/ and that4 dead sword run is amazing, never had more than 3 golds drop in any farm run in my life heh.

manitoba1073 · May 05, 2007, 11:33 AM // 11:33

lol i know what u mean , 2 of them dropped from the same mob. i was like OMG.

Šiljo · May 05, 2007, 12:47 PM // 12:47

what quest are u farming?

Blow Up Doll · May 05, 2007, 03:22 PM // 15:22

Just as a note when you say Balthazar's aura - you actually mean Balthazar's spirit (as made obvious by the screenshots) -other than that - looks awesome - i'll give it a try now
Thx

-1st gold is a r9 deadsword (thx)
also lots of lockpicks dropping...(maybe just random)

udk-birDy · May 05, 2007, 04:28 PM // 16:28

Im trying with a Dervish Monk ... beacuse i don have my monk there yet ... but im not getting good results :| .... seems like just 55 monk dervish works good here ..

if someone is farming this this another char .. could help me

Cheers

shadowdeath · May 05, 2007, 06:34 PM // 18:34

siljo there is no quest, u simply enter the first city from the diggings outpost and move into the city......
also for anyone who only wants to do skale for icy/fiery blade axes

monk/necro

12 curse
12 protection
12 divine favor

watchful spirit
mending
balthazar's spirit <thanks for the correction>
and blessed aura
protective spirit
shielding hands
shield of absorption
spiteful spirit

first pic = build
2nd pic= action
third pic= where u stand

if you stand in that location they WILL NOT SCATTER!!! 2 SS's on 2 different skale will kill them all attack the first skale you cast ss on untill you can apply a second to a different skale

Mark Nevermiss · May 05, 2007, 08:55 PM // 20:55

I tried it with terra tank : echo sliver armour / stone daggers and killed all the skeles and the skales too. I didnt get any golds this first tun but got lots of purples and 3 warrior and one dervish tomes. Overall, I LOVE it!
Thx for mentioning the place.

Hexum · May 05, 2007, 09:35 PM // 21:35

Anyone know what E/Mes build will work for this? I have been farming the plains with one build posted here earlier.

lyra_song · May 05, 2007, 09:48 PM // 21:48

Good post.

i was experimenting in this area for something else...but didnt reach that far into the city.

I use:
Earth magic 15
Energy storage: 11
Inspiration: 8

[skill]stone daggers[/skill][skill]echo[/skill][skill]sliver armor[/skill][skill]aura of restoration[/skill][skill]stoneflesh aura[/skill][skill]armor of earth[/skill][skill]stone striker[/skill][skill]mantra of earth[/skill]

It may not be the fastest build but it works. Try to keep some distance from the necro skeletons and if u can avoid Scale patrols with more than one Blighter.

Hexum · May 05, 2007, 10:15 PM // 22:15

Iwas using this on the plains:
