Do you forget to get something before farming? =P

Ok.. I'm going to try it again.

Is your character doing any part of the killing, or is it your heroes only? If your character takes an active part in the kill, then xp's are gained normally. If only your heroes kill the mob without your character executing any skill or dealing any damage, then no xp's are gained.

The XP thing has been there since Nov. 20th. You still gain LB points though.

umm..i agree that people should stop screaming NERF after each update. i've started farming again 10mins ago and i'm still getting the usual amount of 200+ every 10mins. as for the exp thing, anet made an update ages ago so that players couldn't get exp from clones anymore. that has nothing to do with LB points. what i'm worried about is them nerfing it soon since "someone" apparently asked anet if it was an exploit (making them aware of this).

Oh please, you cannot say anet did not know about this. Why would they have nerfed the xp gain from clones if people weren't abusing the system to gain XP AND LB points?

I'm sure they didnt notice anything funny when hundreds of people started gaining ranks like crazy throughout all times of the day, in the same exact zone.

If you think I made anet away of the afk farming, then you obviously dont know how their network works. One thing, they have basically everything logged. From the zones you enter to what you are doing(standing there or actually fighting). Two, I KNOW they check some of the fansites(this one included) i'm pretty sure they would have noticed a post like this.

An interesting response from ANet. But what does it mean? As I can recall from the 7-8 months of Faction's release, they haven't taken a single action to address the AFK problem in Fort Aspenwood. There, people afked to reap the rewards from others, get faction for Amber/Jade, and piss others off. I also can't recall any incidents where people were banned for afking in the Nine Rings for the Lucky/Unlucky titles. Please inform me otherwise.

So now, I'd be surprised at best if they actually did something in regards to this Lightbringer afk "exploit." Perhaps we'll find out this weekend. Or maybe sooner...

Totaly agree.

LOL

So i afk farmed with just one R/n group.... yay. i watched it steadily making lightbringer points for 1 to 2 hrs........ Feeling confident it was a good setup i left it and slept.

When i checked in the morning i was in the rez shrine fighting a ton of those summoned creatures that cause bleeding. dying super quick then rezzing again.

LOL

Instead of me farming the monsters for LB points.... the creatures farmed me for approximately 2000 death counts HAHAHAH.

can someone actually post a walkthrough of how you guys would farm for lb points please?

Maybe a video would be nice too!

There's one in the thread. Read it.

Video included, search the thread fully.

AlienFromBeyond · Nov 30, 2006, 07:23 AM // 07:23

Yay, finally got Holy Lightbringer!

Symon · Nov 30, 2006, 07:39 AM // 07:39

Congrats. I woke up to 20 memory error messages and only 2k LB points to get. So about an hour and 30 mins I should have it too

+500 deaths. I noticed how they farm us "humans" as well xD

Gye · Nov 30, 2006, 07:52 AM // 07:52

You guys know how to farm up 2 groups, but can you farm 4 groups? Notice on my map of 4 separate farmers. lawl
And for curious PvPers yes that [Rnub] tag is The Zaishen (original guild)

Yes, people know how to farm with 4 groups, it's been done already. ^_^ If you read previous posts...

Guildmaster Cain · Nov 30, 2006, 10:18 AM // 10:18

There are actually people that farm 6 groups at the same time...

Anyway, I was wondering about another build, using E/Mo and Mo/E. Currently I cant play GW, but maybe someone else can try it out.

Get an Elementalist/Monk hero, give him superior runes on all slots, lowering his health. Make him take PS, Stoneflesh Aura and Sliver Armor, also let him take BUT DISABLE balthazar, essence and divine aura, MAYBE blessed signet and/or more selfheal. Now you take Watchfull Spirit and Mending, which should give +6 regen to him.

The main advantage of this build would be SLIVER ARMOR, since it slowly kills when only limited enemies are around, but when hurts fast when severely outnumbered. Thus you can never get overkills or overflood. Only problem is to stay alive, which the invincibuild takes care of.

You probably need to jiggle with the stats on Earth Magic, since there is an optimum damage number which supplies enough dmg to kill Torments fast enough, but lets them spawn.

Another advantage of this build would be that the Elementalist is the only character around, so the Torments cant be distracted by a healer or something.

it could work..but..one, i'm not sure if it would kill them fast and slow enough for them to respawn, and two, i'm not sure that the hero can use stoneflesh aura properly..he'd have to have it on all the time to stay alive..also sliver armor can't be used constantly even with blessed aura and a 30% longer enchant weapon..
