Can anyone post a map of where the Corsairs are.

Snow Bunny · Jul 31, 2007, 09:43 PM // 21:43

You're chances are still low....but...

Zehlon Reach, outside of the astralarium.
It's Mo/D
I use

PS
Mystic Regen
Balth Sp
SoJ
Shielding Hands
SoA
Blessed Aura
Holy Strike

Make sure earth prayers are at 8 for +3 regen

It only drops from the corsairs. Holy strike is for the Bosuns and Medics.

they are in two areas when you exit from astrallium (or whoever you spell it) into zhelon reach. Immediately to the left there is a small camp of about 3-4 mobs. Then way up to the northwest there is another camp of 3-4 mobs (near the boats).

I will take on the bugs if there are no grub lances with them, otherwise i just bypass them.

You will have to run through some skale to get to the second mob, but they break agro if you head straight for the rez shine and just past it to the north.

u can also try the corsairs in the beginning of moddok crevice mission. they are rather easy to farm since they are all warriors / rangers. according to wiki the sword drops there.

ANTICANCER · Aug 01, 2007, 05:17 PM // 17:17

i can kill the corsair with my custom vwk rit

The Mist bomber build can easily take care of them in hardmode. Just flag Dunkoro away after their finish talking, then speak with the cosair guy and choose no. They will turn hostile then active mist form and nuke away

I don't farm much, but already got two, so...

I know a guy who got two req 8 collosals a couple nights ago using a generic 55 build,

Sounds pretty simple, and sounds like I'm going to start farming there.

Got a Req.10 Colossal Scimitar for my warrior from outside the Astralarium myself. Never bothered farming it again since then.

Bog-standard Mo/D 55 .... much the same as everyone else uses.
Personally, the only offensive skill I use is Shield of Judgement and it gets the job done. I keep that divine favour signet that gives back energy for maintained enchantments (I forget the name) handy as well, since it is occasionally needed.
It is probably worth noting that with Earth Prayers of 8, it is important to time Mystic Regeneration just after weakness from "You're All Alone!" wears off in order to keep it at +3 regen per ench. It can take a bit of practice to get used to.... or a bit of point redistribution.

It can also be worth taking the Bug Bounty from the scout outside... just for the few extra points.... though if a Grub Lance is blocking the way to the Corsairs then I usually warp out and back in again until it is gone. All Preying Lance groups are fair game though.
