What is the lowest rank the ursan norn point farming parties take? Like in general.

In my experience, 3 is the lowest they'd take in NM or HM. But I'd recommend 4-5 minimum for NM, and 6 minimum for HM.

You can easily H/H Falls in HM. Just use SAB's builds and Uway.

You can but it's faster to group with other players. And that's the whole point of farming reputation points, to do it quickly and efficiently.

Anyway, if you don't have a high enough Norn rank (r5-r6+) then just don't run Ursan Blessing there until you do. Because with a low rank you'll do more damage with other builds.

30 min runs, 5k+ rep with h/h if you do it right, with Path to Revelations

you don't need to vanquish the zone just get 200ish kills before killing the facets, and rampage is key if you can get it.

Do you go straight for the spawn location of the bosses and kill everything en route or do you do some sort of loop to get the kills?

Wish I had known about this before I collected the reward (Kerresh's Staff), on 3 of my characters...

The staff is kewl though... MoW uses it to great effect... lol

The more kills you have prior to a boss kill raises the rep points received for the boss kill.

The facets can earn you up to 450 points each.

But how many kills prior to the bosses is optimal to give the best PPM (points per minute)?

Richardt · Feb 01, 2008, 08:35 PM // 20:35

For me I usually try to get up to 75 kills in NM, for HM....maybe 125-150 or so.

TBH I've never done the math to determine the optimal points per minute approach. I normally killed everything in a circle, or broken it up into smaller bits, and if I knew where there was a boss, I tried to ignore 'em until I hit the point caps I mentioned above.

You need 250 kills to get the 450 per boss. You get more obviously for having a timed bonus active.

FYI do NOT go by the top counter, check the chat log. At 250 enemies killed, you get some bonus rep and can kill the Facets.

I found the easiest kills were ALL the animals around Olafstead (minos, aurochs, etc), then to the water to kill some of the Ice Imps/Elems (hate them), move towards the facets on the far side of the bridge and kill a few packs of Modniirs, that should get you to about 250. I ignore the area outside of Battledepts, Griffins etc. Too much aggro in there.

I'll repost this as a separate question...

Why "MUST" everyone in a group (as I have seen as a requirement to join a party) have the quest?

If it has to do with having the Facets spawn as to the other horde of mobs, then that would fall on the leader, no?

Or is it if ANYONE doesn't have the quest the mob will spawn not the facets?

Will someone please enlighten me?

Only 1 person needs to have the quest, doesn't matter if they are the leader or not afaik. BTW you can take the quest Haunted as well to get another boss spawn near there, though that requires xandra to be in the party.

JoeKnowMo · Feb 02, 2008, 12:25 AM // 00:25

You get the most points if you kill the bosses while you have a rampage bonus up. If you plan your route well, you can keep a rampage up while getting 250 kills with henchies regardless of when you receive it.

250 kills maxs the reptation from bosses at +450 points.
