Curse

Lol no hope hitching rides in chest runs no more.

The last 2 chest runs i went on. The first, 1 W/Me that promptly went to the beach. 3 R/Me that all went the forest (whats the point?). The 1 after 4 W/Me that ALL went to the beach.

Seriously it costs less but all you do then is RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO it up for the rest of us. The 2nd run we headed off to skeletons with only 4 people, found a chest and had to retreat and heal. Got back to the chest opened it and all 4 of us exploded in a mass of traps we didn't notice then got raped by the group of skeletons, if it had been a proper 8man run we'd of been ok.

I use the same build Primitivefarmer uses w/ Savage instead of Distracting. Really don't have any energy problems and i use Dragos Flat Bow. Moment i'm running low vs Spirit Shephards, stick Storm Chaser on and infinite energy for 19 seconds. I can interrupt Apply Poison fine aslong i see the spider.

7 Insp
9 + 1 Exp
10 + 3 + 1 WS
10 + 1 Marks

I could change to my marks mask for the spiders, but i simply can't be arsed.

Just one question: do you rekon an elbon long/flatbow would do extra damage on spirit shepherds? I haven't tried this (no elbon bow with a low req

).

PS: great build - there are so many rangers in fow now thanks to it (I'm glad to have bought a +20 prunning grip before the popularity of this build dramatically increase the price btw

).

Haha, i know!

I'm both happy and shocked. They aren't letting any more R/Mes into chest running groups.

Re: the elemental bowstring... it doesn't really matter, because Kindle will convert your base arrow damage type to fire. And an elemental bowstring will do less damage to the spiders.

Does anyone else have the Rock Borers attack them or is it just me? I've tried all of my bows: flat, long, recurve. Doesn't matter, they always attack me, no matter how far away I stand. It's not a big deal since the only thing they really do is Choking Gas, Pin Down, and Lightning Reflexes. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

This was mentioned and answered somewhere in the thread before I believe. Anyway, the trick to fighting them is as soon as the Wurm pop out, just stop where you are and pick them off. Usually when you move after they pop out they will attack you (Of course, if a patrol is going to run into you, be ready to hightail it out of there)

They'll ttack you if 1/ you comeclose enough to hit them with a sword... Dont stand in the middle of them. Or 2/ if you run away. If you are too far when you attack (longbow range) they'll attack you as well. Beside that, I have never seen them attacking.

I guess you dont go there with a pet who willattack them in melee, and you're alone... If it's the case it's rather strange. If it's not it just mean one of the member of your team is too far (and there is ALWAYS a member who is too far when you're in a team).

I dyed mine green+yellow.

Neon green ftw.

Speaking of strange bows, anyone else have one of these?

I've come to the conclusion that when customized it's around 16-27.5 damage, req3.

Too bad it fires SO slow. I get a casting bar on poison arrow...

bahahaha... that's funny :P now put on faintheartedness + shadow of fear...

0.33 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.0825% attack speed.

Evilsod · Apr 22, 2006, 09:58 PM // 21:58

Yeah the Rock Borers always seem to attack at very inconvenient times. I've found that if you just make them pop up and keep them within your agro circle they ignore you. Lets me clear all 6 at the start in 1 huge EoE bomb :P

That is possibly the worst bow i've ever seen...

I really do wanna see how slow you attack with that bow, Shadow and Faint on you... You could probably make a cup of tea before the animation was over.

I'm definitly gonna try this build out when my R/Me is ready for it. He's currently a lvl 10 so it might be a while before i can try this build.

I loved the video also the music was good to. Gotta show it to a friend of mine when she comes online.

Thanks for sharing this remmeh!

'welcome and happy farming.

I am so excited about this build

Thanks.

musefanalert · Apr 23, 2006, 10:03 PM // 22:03

tried it and died at the first ice skeletons, i drew em back to shadows as is said but when i ran past, one at the back froze me and the rest came in and killed me

too late to try again now but i will succeeed next time!

prencher · Apr 24, 2006, 12:02 AM // 00:02

Happens sometime, deep freeze is AoE, so just keep a bit of distance to the shadow army once they're at it and you should be fine.

Also remember to not wait too long before running after you got em fighting, or they will likely kill one or two and focus on you, in my experience.

Personally I TU, run past shadows, TU again, pull skellies, run back until they're close or fighting, then storm chase away from them, pop another TU, and while SC is still active, run back past the bunch.

Great build! I was only able to try it twice before we lost favor. First time I died while running to the forest, second time I got killed by spiders XD. I'll get the hang of it eventually.

Also another option of not paying the 1k to solo FoW would be to hook up with a w/me who solo's the beach. He pays 500, you pay 500 and since your in opposite ends of the place you both are able to carry out your normal solo routine.

and you can laugh at him if he gets owned by skales.

today i had like 3 runs where i got to the forest and did something stupid and died. i cannot belive the stupid stuff i do. then my 4th time i droped 2 obs shards and a obs key (which i dont use because i think they suck, whats the point?) and that payed for the next 4 runs i did, each one of them i had to pull the skellys and faile misserably each time. im beginning to think i suck at this farming, but it is so much fun. and i killed my first spiders today. i used a recurve bow on them because i dont have a short bow yet. pretty fun.

grats. =) spiders are the hardest part... took me a while (and a lot of the posters in this thread) to find the most efficient way to kill them (vampiric shortbow, distracting shot on apply poison)

sky the unstopable · Apr 24, 2006, 04:47 AM // 04:47

wait we ditched savage for distracting? i thought i read every post here. well ya im pretty happy. im going to go get the collecotr short bow from the desert once i get back on. so (just because i is a lazy basterd) what (dam i cant remember what the sufixes are called for bows) you guys use?

Huntmaster · Apr 24, 2006, 05:33 AM // 05:33

I stick with basically the standard build, except Ele Res. instead of Mantra. I don't have problems with anything..
