This is a very nice HM run. I may be wrong, but it seems like I'm getting a drop much more often than 1/8 - even better than 1/4. My luck with gold drops hasn't been so hot. Probably ran it 6 times and got one gold drop - a nearly perfect req 9 dead sword.

I did get a lockpick drop which I've used twice already and it hasn't broken - although only purples.

Recommended, but not exactly raining golds. Also, I recommend you take extra salvage kits. My inventory keeps filling up before I'm halfway thru the undead.

Dervish/Monk also works for this. I use a fairly standard 130 hp build with a zealous scythe of enchanting.

Mystic Sweep
Eremites Attack
Reapers Sweep (E)
Mystic Regeneration
Mystic Vigor
Protective Spirit
Balthazars Spirit
Essence Bond

Cant remember attributes right now, but i know i use at least 13 earth prayers and 12 scythe mastery. Rest goes to mysticism and protection.

Works well as long as you dont aggro more than 3 foes at a time. You can kill the scale mobs on the way, except for the big one. Bosses take some time to kill though.

Same here, the only 'big' drop I got in ages was a Q10 gothic sword +5e, I try farming different places and such but nothing works. My heart fills with joy as a gold dead sword req 9 drops, but fills with sadness as I see it cant be inscripted/has no dmg mod...
Maybe its because lots of people are farming and the areas are all out of loot?

I have gotten quite a few good things the best of which being a Req.9 Gold Sephis but drops do deteriorate if you repeat a run. I started doing this about a month ago and i went on runs repeatedly for 4 days. I started to get crap so i got anotehr farming spot, though last night i repeated the run for fun and got 2 golds which were merch bait and a total of 4k in drops.

What is the "king quest"? Sorry I am new and searching for "king quest" turned up nothing.

Thanks.

I believe he's referring to 'Destroy The Ungrateful Slaves' the old place people got dead swords.
